1 Preface

The PRIMERGY RX800 S2/S3 server system offers unique performance

density by packing up to four Intel®Xeon™ MP dual-core processors into a 3-

height (3U) building block (node).

Each node offers 6 PCI-X 2.0 slots and is equipped with a CD/DVD drive and

up to 6x2,5" hot-plug SAS hard disks. Full redundancy for power supplies and

fans as well as phase redundancy for AC line input is supported. Hard disks,

memory cards, fans units, power supply units, and PCI adapters are hot-

pluggable. All hot-plug operations are described in the Operating Manual.

Each node is either a base unit or an extension unit. Both units can be

combined to form an 8-way (6U) configuration. By combining two 8-way config-

urations, a 16-way (12U) configuration with four nodes can be assembled. The

assembly procedure is described in the Operating Manual.

Generally speaking, base unit and extension unit upgrade and conversion is

done in the same way. However, there are exceptions to this rule which are

explained in the appropriate chapter(s).

1.1 Documentation overview

IPRIMERGY manuals are available in PDF format on the ServerBooks CD,

which is part of the PRIMERGY ServerView Suite provided with each

server system.

The PDF files for the manuals can also be downloaded free of charge

from the Internet. The overview page showing the online documentation

available on the Internet can be found via the URL:

http://manuals.fujitsu-siemens.com (choose: industry standard servers).

Concept and target groups

This Options Guide shows you how to expand and upgrade your server.

VCAUTION!

Preface Extensions and conversions

1.2 Extensions and conversions

Main memory

In the basic configuration (base/extension unit), two memory cards are supplied

with either 2 GB or 4 GB of memory installed in memory card A.

The system board offers four hot-plug memory cards (A to D) slots, each of

which can accommodate up to four DIMMs (in two memory banks each). The

slots are suitable for DDR RAM PC2-3200 ECC DIMMs with 2 GB or 4 GB

capacity, depending on the type of memory. Thus, each node supports up to 32

GB (64 GB) of system memory.

No mixing of DIMM types is allowed within one memory bank. Memory mirroring

is only possible if DIMM types are identical between mirrored memory banks.

Memory upgrade/exchange with the server switched off is described in chapter

“Main memory” on page 25.

IThe hot-plug memory card exchange and upgrade procedure is

described in the Operating Manual.

Processors

In the basic configuration (base/extension unit), the system comes with two

microprocessors. You can install up to four microprocessors to further enhance

performance and symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) capability.

You may only use processors of the same type on the system board. All

processors must have the same frequency and cache size.

Processor upgrade/exchange is described in chapter “Processors” on page 31.

Accessible drives

The basic configuration (base/extension unit) includes a CD/DVD drive.

However, this drive is disabled in the extension unit of an 8-way configuration.

IIn 16-way configuration, only one CD/DVD drive is operable.

No built-in accessible drives are available. Therefore, additional drives must be

plugged in via the USB port. This can be done while the system is up and

running.

Extensions and conversions Preface

Adapters in PCI slots

The server is equipped with six PCI-X 2.0 slots, all offering 64-bit support,

operating at 266 MHz, and supporting hot-plug functionality.

The following adapter types are available:

●PCI adapters for external SCSI storage system

If you want to connect additional external SCSI devices, up to two 1-channel

PCI SCSI adapters may optionally be installed per scalable partition.

●PCI adapters for external disk arrays

If you want to connect additional external disk arrays, up to four 2-channel

PCI RAID adapters may optionally be installed per scalable partition.

●PCI Fibre Channel adapters

Up to four 1-channel Fibre Channel PCI adapters for subsystems and SAN

(Storage Area Network) may optionally be installed per scalable partition.

●Single-port or dual-port PCI LAN adapters

The server comes with an integrated Broadcom dual-port LAN adapter.

Up to four single-port PCI LAN adapters may optionally be installed per

scalable partition

Up to three dual-port PCI LAN adapters may optionally be installed per

scalable partition.

PCI card upgrade with the server switched off is described in chapter “Adapters”

on page 41.

IInstallation of hot-plug adapters is described in the Operating Manual.

Preface Extensions and conversions

SAS/RAID adapters

In addition to the six standard PCI slots, a dedicated PCI slot is reserved for the

ServerRAID-8i RoMB adapter (controller).

By default, the base unit has a ServeRAID-8i adapter installed to handle up to

six hard disk drives. This adapter works in conjunction with the onboard SAS

controller.

In the extension unit, a ServeRAID-8i adapter is optionally available. However,

in a multi-node configuration, a maximum of two adapters is allowed to handle

up to 12 hard disk drives.

IIn a 16-way configuration, a ServeRAID-8i adapter is installed in both

base units. Consequently, no more optional adapters are allowed for any

of the two extension units.

ServeRAID-8i upgrade is described in chapter “Adapters” on page 41.

IAn BBU (Battery Backup Unit) is integrated in the ServeRAID-8-i adapter

to protect its memory contents in the event of a power failure. Lithium

battery exchange is described in the Service Supplement.
