Introduction Extensions and conversions
1.2 Extensions and conversions
The PRIMERGY RX100 S4 server is offered in a SATA and a SAS version. The
versions differ in the chipset assembling of the system board and in the config-
uration of the hard disks.
Extension of the main memory
The four slots for the main memory are suitable for unbuffered DDR II 533
(PC2-4200) SDRAM memory modules. The organization in two memory banks,
1 and 2, permits rapid memory access with two-way interleaving.
If the memory modules are populated in pairs, each pair must consist of
identical memory modules (2-way interleaved mode).
Additional accessible drive
One 5.25-inch slimline bay is available for accessible drives.
Additional non-hot-plug SATA hard disk drive
(only SATA version)
A second bay is available for non-hot-plug SATA hard disk drives.
Additional controllers in the PCI slots
The system board offers 2 x PCI-X (64 Bit / 133 MHz) or 1x PCI-Express x8 and
2 x PCI-X (64 Bit / 133 MHz) slots by a riser card.
Upgrading non-hot-plug variant to hot-plug variant
(only SATA version)
The non-hot-plug variant can be upgraded to a hot-plug variant by installing a
SAS/SATA backplane and inserting hot-plug SATA hard disks.

3 Safety notes
IThe following safety notes are also provided in the “Safety notes and
other important information” manual.
This device complies with the relevant safety regulations for data processing
equipment.
If you have any questions about where you can set up the device, contact your
sales outlet or our customer service team.
VCAUTION!
The actions described in these instructions should only be performed by
technical specialists. Equipment repairs should only be performed by
service personnel. Any unauthorized openings and improper repairs
could expose the user to risks (electric shock, energy hazards, fire
hazards) and could also damage the equipment. Please note that any
unauthorized openings of the device will result in the invalidation of the
warranty and exclusion from all liability.
Before operating the device
VCAUTION!
●During installation and before operating the device, observe the
instructions on environmental conditions for your device.
●If the device is brought in from a cold environment, condensation may
form both inside and on the outside of the machine.
Wait until the device has acclimatized to room temperature and is
absolutely dry before starting it up. Material damage may be caused
to the device if this requirement is not observed.
●Transport the device only in the original packaging or in packaging
that protects it from knocks and jolts.

12 Options Guide RX100 S4
Safety notes
Installation and operation
VCAUTION!
●If the server is integrated in an installation that receives power from
an industrial (public) power supply network with the IEC309
connector, the (public) power supply protection must comply with the
requirements for the non-industrial (public) power supply networks for
the type A connector.
●The server automatically sets itself to a voltage in the range of
100 V to 127 V or 200 V to 240 V. Make sure that your local voltage
is within this range.
●This device has a specially approved power cable and must only be
connected to a grounded insulated socket.
●The ON/OFF button does not disconnect the device from the mains
voltage. To completely disconnect it from the mains voltage, remove
the power plug from the insulated socket.
●Always connect the device and the attached peripherals to the same
power circuit. Otherwise you run the risk of losing data if, for example,
the central processing unit is still running but the peripheral device
(e.g. storage subsystem) has failed during a power outage.
●Data cables to peripheral devices must be adequately shielded.
●To the LAN wiring the requirements apply in accordance with the
standards EN 50173 and EN 50174-1/2. As minimum requirement
the use of a protected LAN line of category 5 for 10/100 MBps
Ethernet, and/or of category 5e for Gigabit Ethernet is considered.
The requirements of the specification ISO/IEC 11801 are to be
considered.
●Route the cables in such a way that they do not form a potential
hazard and that they cannot be damaged. When connecting up a
device, refer to the relevant notes in this manual.
●Never connect or disconnect data transmission lines during a storm
(lightning hazard).

RX100 S4 Options Guide 13
Safety notes
VCAUTION!
●Make sure that no objects (such as bracelets or paper clips) fall into
or liquids spill into the device (risc of electric shock or short circuit).
●In emergencies (e.g. damaged casing, controls or cables, penetration
of liquids or foreign matter), switch off the device immediately, remove
the power plug and contact your sales outlet or customer service
team.
●Proper operation of the device (in accordance with IEC 60950/
EN 60950) is only ensured if the casing is completely assembled and
the rear covers for the installation openings have been put in place
(electric shock, cooling, fire protection, interference suppression).
●Only install system expansions that satisfy the requirements and
rules governing safety and electromagnetic compatibility and relating
to telecommunications terminal equipment. If you install other expan-
sions, you may damage the system or violate the safety regulations
and regulations governing RFI suppression. Information on which
system expansions are suitable can be obtained from the customer
service centre or your sales outlet.
●The components or parts marked with a warning label (e.g. lightning
symbol) may only be opened, removed or exchanged by authorized,
qualified personnel.
●The warranty expires if the device is damaged during the installation
or replacement of system expansions.
●You may only set those resolutions and refresh rates specified in the
„Technical data“ section of the monitor description. Otherwise, you
may damage your monitor. If you are in any doubt, contact your sales
outlet or customer service centre.

Safety notes
Batteries
VCAUTION!
●Incorrect replacement of batteries may lead to a risk of explosion. The
batteries may only be replaced with identical batteries or with a type
recommended by the manufacturer (see the technical manual for the
system board under “Related publications” on page 47).
●Replace the lithium battery on the system board in accordance with
the instructions in the technical manual for the system board (see
“Related publications” on page 47).
Notes on handling CDs and CD-/DVD-ROM drives
VCAUTION!
●Use only CDs in proper condition in the CD-/DVD-ROM drive of your
server to prevent data loss, damage to the device and injuries.
●Therefore, check each CD for damage, cracks, breakage etc. before
inserting it in the drive.
Please note that any additional labels applied may change the
mechanical properties of a CD and cause imbalance.
Damaged and imbalanced CDs can break at high drive speeds (data
loss).
Under certain conditions sharp-edged pieces of broken CDs can
penetrate the cover of the drive (damage to the device) and be thrown
out of the device (danger of injury, particularly on uncovered body
parts such as the face or neck).
IYou protect the CD-/DVD-ROM drive and prevent mechanical damage,
as well as premature wearing of the CDs, by observing the following
suggestions:
– Only insert the CDs in the drive when needed and remove them after
use.
– Store the CDs in suitable sleeves.
– Protect the CDs from exposure to heat and direct sunlight.

RX100 S4 Options Guide 15
Safety notes
Note about the laser
The CD-/DVD-ROM drive
is classified for laser class 1according to IEC 60825-1.
VCAUTION!
The CD-/DVD-ROM drive contains a laser diode (LED). Sometimes the
LED produces a stronger laser beam than laser class 1. Direct view into
this laser beam is dangerous.
Never remove parts of the CD-/DVD-ROM drive assembly!
Modules with electrostatic-sensitive components:
Systems and components that might be damaged by electrostatic discharge
(ESD) are marked with the following label:
Figure 1: ESD label
When you handle components fitted with ESDs, you must observe the following
points under all circumstances:
●Remove the power plug from the power socket before inserting or removing
components containing ESDs.
●You must always discharge yourself of static charges (e.g. by touching a
grounded object) before working.
●The equipment and tools you use must be free of static charges.
●Only touch the components at the positions highlighted in green (touch
points).
●Do not touch any exposed pins or conductors on a component.
●Use a grounding cable designed for this purpose to connect yourself to the
system unit as you install components.

16 Options Guide RX100 S4
Safety notes
●Place all components on a static-safe base.
IYou will find a detailed description for handling ESD components in the
relevant European or international standards (DIN EN 61340-5-1,
ANSI/ESD S20.20).
