General information
Description
The PRIMERGY TX600 server is an Intel-based server for mid-size networks
and large companies. The server is suitable for use as a file server as well as
an application, information, or internet server. It is available as a floor-standing
or rack model. The floor-standing model can be converted into a rack model
using an optional conversion kit.
The PRIMERGY TX600 server offers a high level of reliability and availability
through highly developed hardware and software components. These include
hot-swap hard disk drive modules, redundant system fans and power supply
units, and hot-plug PCI slots, the ServerView server management software,
"Prefailure Detection and Analyzing" (PDA), and "Automatic Server Reconfigu-
ration and Restart" (ASR&R).
The term hot-swap refers to the online replacement of a component (e.g. a
failed hard disk drive, which is configured as a member of a disk array (RAID)).
The term hot-plug refers to the replacement of components while the power is
switched on. In the special case of hot-plug PCI boards it is ensured that the
corresponding PCI slot is powered off before the board is removed.
Security functions in the BIOS Setup and on the system board protect the data
on the server against manipulation. Additional security is provided by the
intrusion detection and the lockable drive cover on the floor-standing model
and/or the lockable rack door.

LocalView module (alphanumeric system display)
The LocalView module providesan alphanumeric display of system information
and hardware errors. It is an intelligent module with a micro controller and its
own memory that can run independently of the attached server system.
The LocalView module includes the LCD panel and the toggle switch, both of
which are integrated in a peripheral bay. The mechanism used allows the
module to be pulled out and opened with ease. The LocalView module is
installed in a free 5.25 inch server slot.
A description of the indicators and how to use LocalView can be found in the
"Diagnostics" module of the Service Manual.
Hard disk drives
The server has two drive cages, each of which can accommodate up to six
ULTRA320-SCSI hard disk slide-in modules. Each hard disk module can
accommodate a SCSI hard disk drive with an SCA (Single Connector
Attachment) interface and a maximum height of 1. The module is connected to
the SCSI backplane without cables via the SCA interface. This allows hard disk
modules to be simply plugged in or pulled out.
The hard disk drive system is designed for Ultra3 SCSI and can be configured
as a dual-channel system with three hard disk drives each or as a single-
channel system with six hard disk drives. The hard disk drives can be controlled
by the onboard controller or by a plug-in RAID controller.
If the server has a RAID controller and a corresponding RAID configuration,
defective hard disk modules can be exchanged online (hot-swap).
Accessible drives
Various mounting slots are available:
– Two 5.25 inch half-height (1.6 inch) slots for accessible drives (e.g. magnetic
tape drives)
Alternatively, these slots can be used to install a 3.2-inch-high accessible
drive.
– One slot for a 3.5 inch slimline floppy disk drive (1.44 MB) and one slot for a
slimline DVD-ROM drive.
The accessible drives integrated in the 5.25 inch slots cannot be
replaced online.

Description General information
Power supply
In its basic configuration, the server has two hot-swap wide-range power supply
units which adjust automatically to any power voltage in the range of 100 V to
240 V. If one power supply unit fails, the second ensures that operation can
continue uninterrupted. The defective power supply unit can be replaced online.
Ventilation
The server is cooled by means of the power supply unit fans and eight system
fans (redundant configuration).
If one fan in a redundant pair fails, the other fan ensures that operation can
continue uninterrupted. A defective system fan can be replaced online.
Every CPU has its own heat sink with fan.
High availability and data security
When memory data is accessed, 1-bit errors in the main memory are recog-
nized and automatically corrected with the ECC (Error Correcting Code)
method. The patented memory-scrubbing function regularly starts up the EDC
mechanism and thus ensures continuous data integrity.
The memory modules used support Chipkill™ technology, which in addition
increases the effectiveness of the monitoring and correction of memory errors.
Support is likewise provided for hot-spare memory technology, in which a
memory bank is used like a replacement bank. If a memory module fails, the
bank with the defective memory is automatically deactivated and the
replacement bank is activated in its place (assuming it has been configured
appropriatelyintheBIOS).Thedeactivatedmemorybankisnolongerusedand
the faulty memory module can be replaced at the next opportunity. For the hot-
spare memory function to be used, all occupied memory banks must have an
identical memory configuration.
ASR&R (Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart) restarts the system in
the case of an error and automatically "hides" the defective system compo-
nents.
The PDA (Prefailure Detection and Analyzing) technology from Fujitsu Siemens
Computers analyzesandmonitors allcomponentsthat areimportant for system
reliability.
Optional RAID controllers support RAID levels 0, 1, 5 and 10 and increase
system availability.

Server management
ServermanagementisimplementedusingthesuppliedServerView software and
PDA (Prefailure Detection and Analyzing) technology from Fujitsu Siemens
Computers. PDA reports the threat of a system error or overloading early on, so
that preventive measures can be taken.
ServerView allows the management of all PRIMERGY servers in the network via
a central console. The following are some of the key features supported by
ServerView in this context.
– Remote power-on (Wake On LAN)
– Intrusion detection in the floor-standing model
– Temperature monitoring of the CPU and surrounding area
– Monitoring of the utilization of the PCI buses
– Detailed status and error reports for bus systems, processors and main
memory
– Watchdog timer for Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart (ASR&R)
if memory modules or processors fail
– Power monitoring
– Early detection of a defective fan
– Watchdog timer for operating system monitoring and application monitoring
with ASR&R
Further information on the ServerView server management is provided in the
associated documentation.
ServerStart
You can configure the PRIMERGY server quickly and purposefully with the
ServerStart softwareprovided. User-guided menusare available for installing the
server operating systems.
Service and support
PRIMERGY servers are service-friendly and modular, thus enabling quick and
simple maintenance.
The handles and locks (touch points) of the different hot-plug/hot-swap compo-
nents are colored green to allow quicker recognition. Also colored green are the
elements of all other components that can be handled without tools.
PRIMERGY diagnostic LEDs arranged on the system board identify the
component (memory module, CPU, VRMs) on the board that is not functioning
correctly.

Description General information
The flash EPROM program supplied with the Fujitsu Siemens Computers
utilities supports a fast BIOS update.
The optional RemoteView remote testing and diagnostics system allows the
PRIMERGY TX300 server to be maintained from remote locations. Remote
diagnostics can therefore be performed for system analysis, remote configu-
ration and remote restart should the operating system or hardware fail.
RemoteView
RemoteView is the remote management solution from Fujitsu Siemens
Computers for Intel-based PRIMERGY systems. RemoteView 3.0 and the
relevant hardware components integrated on the system board allow remote
monitoringandmaintenanceaswellasfastrestorationofoperabilityintheevent
of errors.
Remote monitoring and maintenance avoids time-consuming and costly on-site
repairs and reduces service costs. This leads to a reduction in the total cost of
ownership and an excellent return on investment for the remote management
solution.
RemoteView helps to:
– switch the system ON/OFF remotely
– monitor systems and analyze the cause of faults
– prepare error resolution or have this process initiated independently if pos-
sible
– identify potential sources of error
– configure the system
– adjust system settings and initiate system restarts from a remote location.

Options
Converting from a floor-standing model to a rack model
The floor-standing model can be optionally converted to allow the server to be
mounted in any typical rack system.
Additional hot-swap tape drive
A hot-swap tape drive can be installed optionally in the hard disk drive cage. As
a result, two slots will be occupied in the drive cage which are then no longer
available for HDD modules.
Additional RemoteView
RemoteView is a feature-rich remote testing and diagnostics package. The
testing and diagnostics software is stored on a chipDISK. The chipDISK is a
memory module with an IDE interface and is located on the system board. In
the event of an error the testing and diagnostics software is automatically
loaded from the chipDISK and then executed.
ZCR (Zero Channel RAID) -Controller
The ZCR controller, together with the onboard controller, offers RAID function-
ality. It is used for the internal hard disk drives as well as for the accessible
drives.
Additional external SCSI interface
If the internal HDD modules are connected via a RAID controller, a channel of
the onboard controller can also be made available via an external SCSI
interface for connecting storage subsystems.
