RX100 S5 Operating manual 7

1 Preface

The PRIMERGY RX100 S5 server is an Intel-based server for small and

medium-sized networks and can be used in the rack systems made by Fujitsu

Siemens Computers GmbH and in current standard rack systems made by

various other manufacturers.

Thanks to its highly developed hardware and software components, the

PRIMERGY RX100 S5 server offers a high level of data security and availability.

These include the ServerView server management software, Prefailure

Detection and Analysis (PDA) and Automatic Server Reconfiguration and

Restart (ASR&R).

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

lockable rack door.

The server occupies 1 height unit in the rack.

1.1 Concept and target groups for this manual

This operating manual describes how to install, set up and operate your server.

This operating manual is intended for those responsible for installing the

hardware and ensuring that the system runs smoothly. It contains all the infor-

mation you need to put your PRIMERGY RX100 S5 server blade into operation.

To understand the various expansion options, you will need to be familiar with

the fields of hardware and data transmission and you will require a basic

knowledge of the underlying operating system.

Features Preface

1.3 Features

Customer Self Service (CSS)

The Fujitsu Siemens Computers Customer Self Service (CSS) concept enables

you to identify and replace the affected component yourself in the case of

certain error scenarios.

In the CSS concept, you can replace the following components yourself in the

event of an error:

– Hot-plug hard disk drives

– Memory modules

– System fans

– Expansion cards

For information on replacing these components, see chapter “CSS compo-

nents” on page 77.

CSS indicators on the control panel and on the back of the PRIMERGY server

provide you with information if a CSS event arises (for more information on the

behavior of these indicators, see chapter “Starting up and operation” on

page 55 and the “Customer Self Service (CSS)” manual on the ServerBooks

DVD).

You can also fit your server with a ServerView Local Service Panel, which

enables you to identify the type of component affected by the error directly on

the server (for more information , see the “Customer Self Service (CSS)”

manual on the ServerBooks DVD).

In addition, CSS errors are displayed in ServerView S2, the server

management software from Fujitsu Siemens Computers.

In the event of errors, ServerView S2 refers you directly to the affected

component and its order information in the Illustrated Spares catalog of the

server in question.
