1 Introduction

The PRIMERGY RX300 S3 server is an Intel-based server for mid-size

networks and large companies. The server is suitable for use as a file server

and also as an application, information or Internet server.

The PRIMERGY RX300 S3 server offers a high level of reliability and availability

through highly developed hardware and software components. These include

hot-plug hard disk drive modules, redundant CPU fans, system fans and power

supply units, and hot-plug PCI slots, the ServerView Suite server management

software, „Prefailure Detection and Analysing“ (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 rack model occupies 2 height units (HU) in the rack.

Options and upgrade Introduction

1.2 Options and upgrade

Second processor

The system board can be upgraded with a second processor. Only processors

of the same type may be used on the system board. The second processor must

have the same clock frequency and the same cache as the first processor.

Upgrading of the main memory

The eight slots for the main memory are suitable for FBD533/PC2-4200F or

FBD667/PC2-5300 Fully Buffered DIMM memory modules. The organization in

two memory banks, 1 and 2 with 4 memory modules each, permits rapid

memory access with four-way interleaving.

Memory modules must always be incorporated in pairs.

ROMB (RAID on motherboard)

The System is extended with an on board Intel I/O processor. If the controller is

activated, it supports RAID Level 0, 1, 10, 5 and 50. "MegaRaid PCI Express™

ROMB" can be activated with two different upgrading kits.

Additional accessible drives

One 5.25-inch bay and one 3,5-inch bay are available for accessible drives.

The 5.25-inch bay can be installed with a 3.5 inch x 0.5 inch floppy disk drive or

a LocalView module and the other bay can be installed with a 5.25-inch x 0,5

inch DVD-ROM drive.

Only for a 3.5“ HDD variant a tape drive can be installed optionally in the left

drive cage (see also the configurator under “Related publications” on

page 117). Two mounting locations are occupied as a result in the drive cage

which are then no longer available for HDD modules.
