RX200 S5 Operating Manual 7

1 Preface

The PRIMERGY RX200 S5 rack server is a universal and high-performance

platform designed for a whole range of application areas in data center and

server farm concepts. The ultra-compact rack server is ideal for web services

and solutions such as caching, gateway and firewall applications. Other

application areas include front-end solutions (tier 1) in modern multi-tier

configurations, and e-mail service and appliance solutions.

The PRIMERGY RX200 S5 offers a balanced architecture that incorporates

next generation main memory (DDR3) and I/O technologies (PCIe Gen2). The

backplane is already provided for SAS 2.0 and 6 Gbit/s SAS and the chipset

prepared for the next generation of 6-core processors. High performance,

scalability, impressive reliability and excellent extension options are combined

in a powerful design.

The Cool-safe™ cooling concept with improved air flow cooling technology

(honeycomb design) ensures the highest possible performance of the

processors at work; at the same time, the system is extremely reliable thanks to

the reduced heat dissipation.

The highly compact server occupies just one height unit (HU) 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

information you need to put your PRIMERGY RX200 S5 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 Technology Solutions 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

– Hot-plug power supply units

– Hot-plug system fan

– Memory modules

– expansion cards

For information on replacing these components, see chapter "CSS

components" on page 79.

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 "PRIMERGY ServerView Suite Local Service Concept - LSC"

manual on the PRIMERGY ServerView Suite DVD 2).

In addition, CSS errors are displayed in the ServerView Operations Manager -

the server management software from Fujitsu Technology Solutions.

In the event of errors, the ServerView Operations Manager refers you directly to

the affected component and its order information in the Illustrated Spares

catalog of the server in question.

System board

The features of the system board are described in the technical manual for the

system board D2786 for the hardware and in the BIOS Setup manual for the

firmware.
