If the server has a corresponding RAID configuration, defective HDD modules can also be exchanged online (hot-swap).

Onboard SAS controller with IME functionality

For operating internal hard disk drives the SAS controller with Integrated Mirroring Enhanced functionality is available. Integrated Mirroring Enhanced offers additionally RAID 0,1 functionality for the internal disk configuration (IME level 1).

I To configure Integrated Mirroring Enhanced the controller has its own RAID-Select Utility. For further information see “Integrated Mirroring User’s Guide“ on the ServerBooks DVD (choose Controllers from the menu).

Onboard RAID5 processor

The RAID functionality of the onboard SAS controller can be upgraded: The RX300 S3 comes with an onboard RAID5 processor which can be activitated via an optional upgrading kit (SAS MegaRAID PCI Express). RAID level 0, 1, 10, 5 and 50 are supported. You find further information in the Options Guide (see “Related Publications” on page 103).

Accessible drives / components

Various mounting locations are available:

– one location for a 3.5 inch slimline 1.44 MB floppy disk drive (optionally) or for a LocalView module (optionally)

– one location for a slimline DVD-/DVD-ROM drive (optionally)

The accessible drives integrated in this locations cannot be replaced online.

A USB tape drive can be installed optionally in the left drive cage (see also the configurator under “Related Publications” on page 103). As a result, two mounting locations are occupied in the drive cage:

I – In case of 3.5-inch HDD configurations these mounting locations are no longer available for HDD modules.

The magnetic tape drive cannot be replaced online.



USB interface

The two USB interfaces on the front of the server supports activities carried out by the service technician. The maximum length of the external cable are three meters.

Power supply

In its basic configuration, the server has a hot-plug multi-range power supply unit that adjusts automatically to any power voltage in the range from 100 V - 240 V. An additional power supply unit can be installed optionally in order to ensure redundancy of the power supply. If one power supply unit fails, the redundant configuration ensures operation can continue uninterrupted. The defective power supply unit can be replaced online (for further details see section “Hot-plug Power Supply Units” on page 75).

Ventilation

The server is cooled by one or two fan units (redundant configuration). One fan unit with three CPU fans and one system fan is integrated in the standard system fan configuration. If two fan units are installed, each of them form a redundant unit.

If one fan in one redundant unit fails, the other fan unit ensures operation can continue uninterrupted. The defective fan can be replaced online (for further details see section “Replacing a Hot-plug Fan” on page 88).

Every processor has a heatpipe. The processors are cooled additionally by the three and/or six CPU fans in the fan units.

High level of availability and reliability

When memory data is accessed, 1-bit errors in the main memory are recog-nized and automatically corrected with the ECC (Error Correcting Code) method. The patented memory scrubbing function regularly starts up the EDC mechanism and thus ensures continuous data integrity.

The memory modules used support SDDC technology (Chipkill™), which in addition increases the effectiveness of the monitoring and correction of memory errors.

Support is likewise provided for hot-spare memory technology, in which a memory bank is used like a replacement bank. If a memory module fails, the bank with the defective memory is automatically deactivated and the replacement bank is activated in its place (assuming it has been configured



appropriately in the BIOS; see BIOS Setup under “Related Publications” on page 103). The deactivated memory bank is no longer used and the faulty memory module can be replaced at the next opportunity. In order to be able to use the hot-spare memory function, all occupied memory banks must have an identical memory configuration.

ASR&R (Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart) restarts the system in the case of an error and automatically „hides“ the defective system components.

The PDA (Prefailure Detection and Analyzing) technology from Fujitsu Siemens Computers analyzes and monitors all components important for system reliability.

Optional RAID functionality of the onboard SAS controller supports RAID Levels 0, 1, 10, 5 and 50 and increase system availability.

The hot-plug HDD modules provide additional availability.

Server management

Server management is implemented with the aid of the supplied ServerView software and PDA (Prefailure Detection and Analyzing) technology from Fujitsu Siemens Computers. PDA reports the threat of a system error or overloading early on so that preventative measures can be taken.

ServerView enables the management of all PRIMERGY servers in the network via a central console. The following key features are supported among others by ServerView in this context.

● Remote power-on (Wake On LAN)

● Temperature monitoring of the CPU and the surrounding area

● Monitoring of the utilization of the PCI buses

● Detailed status and error reports for bus systems, processors and main memory

● Watchdog timer for Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart (ASR&R) in the event of failure of memory modules or processors

● Power monitoring

● Early detection of a defective fan

● Watchdog timer for operating system monitoring and application monitoring with ASR&R



Further information on ServerView server management is provided in the associated documentation (see “Related Publications” on page 103).



ServerStart

You can configure the PRIMERGY server quickly and purposefully with the ServerStart software provided. User-guided menus are available for installing the server operating system (for further details see section “Configuring the Server” on page 60).

Service and support

PRIMERGY servers are service-friendly and modular, thus enabling quick and simple maintenance.

The handles and locks (touch points) of the different hot-plug components are colored green to ensure simple and immediate recognition.

In order to avoid damage to components by incorrect handling when they are being installed and removed, green highlighting also identifies the component areas that can be touched without causing damage to the respective component.

PRIMERGY Diagnostic LEDs arranged on the system board identify the component (memory module, CPU) on the system board that is not functioning correctly.

The flash EPROM program supplied with the Fujitsu Siemens Computers utilities supports a fast BIOS update.

The integrated Remote Management Cotnroller (iRMC) as well as the optional remote test and diagnostics system allow the PRIMERGY RX300 S3 server to be maintained from remote locations. Remote diagnosis can be performed as a result for system analysis, remote configuration and remote restart should the operating system or hardware fail.

RemoteView

RemoteView is the remote management solution from Fujitsu Siemens Computers for Intel-based PRIMERGY systems. RemoteView and the relevant hardware components integrated on the system board allow remote monitoring and maintenance as well as fast restoration of operability in the event of errors.



Remote monitoring and maintenance avoids time-consuming and costly on-site repairs and reduces service costs. This leads to a reduction in the total cost of ownership and an excellent return on investment for the remote management solution.

RemoteView helps

● switch ON/OFF the system remotely

● monitor systems and analyze the cause of faults

● prepare error resolution or to have this process initiated independently if possible

● identify potential sources of error

● configure the system

● adjust system settings and initiate system restarts from a remote location

8 Hot-plug ComponentsThis chapter describes how to handle hot plug components and/or how to modify your server hardware.

The hot swap procedure (online replacement) increases the availability of the system operation and guarantees a high degree of data integrity and fail-safe performance.

I Upgrades or replacements of permanently installed components are described in the Options Guide and/or in the Service Supplement and may only be performed by Service staff.

V CAUTION!

Please observe the safety information in chapter “Important Notes” on page 23.

8.1 Hot-plug Power Supply Units

I A redundant power supply can be created by installing a second hot-plug power supply unit (optional). If one power supply unit fails, the other unit ensures operation can continue. The defective power supply unit can be replaced online (hot-swap).

8.1.1 Removing the Dummy Module

The slot for the second power supply unit is provided with a dummy module that must be removed before installing a second power supply unit.

Ê Release the fastening screw and remove the dummy module from the slot.

V CAUTION!

Keep the dummy module for future use. If the power supply unit is removed again and not replaced with a new unit, the dummy module must be reinstalled due to cooling, to comply with applicable EMC regulations (regulations on electromagnetic compatibility) and to protect against fire.


Hot-plug Power Supply Units Hot-plug Components

8.1.2 Adding a hot-plug Power Supply Unit

Ê Insert the second power supply unit, lock it in the free location (see section “Replacing a Hot-plug Power Supply Unit”) and connect it to the line voltage (see section “Connecting the Server to the Line Voltage” on page 45).

8.1.3 Replacing a Hot-plug Power Supply Unit

Figure 18: Unlocking and removing the power supply unit

This is the only way to avoid the power supply unit being shaken out of its mountings and damaged during transport.

Ê Connect up the power supply unit.


Hot-plug Components Hot-plug Hard Disk Drives

8.2 Hot-plug Hard Disk Drives

Up to six 3,5-Zoll SAS/SATA hard disk drives or twelf 2,5-Zoll SAS hard disk drivescan be installed in the PRIMERGY RX300 S3 server.

The hard disk drives are mounted on a carrier that allows defective drives to be replaced or new drives to be added online (hot-swap). The hard disk drive and the carrier constitute the hard disk drive module (HDD module).

The hot-swap function (online replacement) can only be performed if the RAID is configured appropriately. Further information about the RAID configuration or RAID level can be found in the RAID controller documentation.

When replacing a HDD module, refer to the hard disk drive indicators in the table on page 53 as well as section “Hot-swap for HDD Modules” on page 87.

8.2.1 Handling Hard Disk Drives/HDD Modules

Hard disk drives incorporated in the HDD modules are highly sensitive electro-magnetic devices and must be handled with great care. It is as likely as not that incorrect handling will lead to partial and/or total failure of the hard disk drives. These failures will result in data errors and to loss of data or to total corruption of the hard disk drive.

Please observe the following rules, which will help avoid such problems occurring:

● Store and transport HDD modules only within the limits stipulated in the specification.

● When transporting HDD modules (even over short distances), always use the original packaging (ESD labeling).

● Never expose a HDD module to a temperature shock. Avoid the formation of condensation inside and on the outside of the hard disk drive. The hard disk drives may only be exposed to defined temperature and climatic conditions.

● Always put the HDD module down carefully, with its largest surface facing downwards, to avoid the danger of tipping over.


Hot-plug Hard Disk Drives Hot-plug Components

8.2.2 Removing/installing the dummy module

8.2.3 Installing/Removing HDD Module

V CAUTION!

Under no circumstances should you remove a HDD module while the system is in operation if you are not sure that the hard disk drive is operated by a RAID controller and belongs to a disk array that is operating in RAID level 1,5 or 10.

V CAUTION!

The HDD module must be acclimatized in its operating environment for an acclimatization time (table 7).

V CAUTION!

The HDD modules (drives) must be marked clearly so that they can be put back into their original place after an upgrade. If this is not taken into account, existing data can be destroyed.

I So that the storage capacity of the hard disk can be recognized at a glance when the hard disk drive is replaced, several prefabricated stickers with the storage capacities are provided with the server. Each HDD module should bear a sticker indicating its capacity on the front (position 5 in figure 21 on page 81). Should no suitable sticker be available, blank stickers for labeling are also provided. The stickers are available in several colors to facilitate identification.
