Before reading this manual

For your safety

This manual contains important information for safely and correctly using this

product.

Carefully read the manual before using this product. Pay particular attention to

the accompanying manual "Safety Notes and Regulations" and ensure these

safety notes are understood before using the product. Keep this manual and the

manual "Safety Notes and Regulations" in a safe place for easy reference while

using this product.

Radio interference

This product is a "Class A" ITE (Information Technology Equipment). In a

domestic environment this product may cause radio interference, in which case

the user may be required to take appropriate measures. VCCI-A

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors

The aluminum electrolytic capacitors used in the product's printed circuit board

assemblies and in the mouse and keyboard are limited-life components. Use of

these components beyond their operating life may result in electrolyte leakage

or depletion, potentially causing emission of foul odor or smoke.

As a guideline, in a normal office environment (25°C) operating life is not

expected to be reached within the maintenance support period (5 years).

However, operating life may be reached more quickly if, for example, the

product is used in a hot environment. The customer shall bear the cost of

replacing replaceable components which have exceeded their operating life.

Note that these are only guidelines, and do not constitute a guarantee of

trouble-free operation during the maintenance support period.

High safety use

This product has been designed and manufactured for general uses such as

general office use, personal use, domestic use and normal industrial use. It has

not been designed or manufactured for uses which demand an extremely high

level of safety and carry a direct and serious risk to life or body if such safety

cannot be ensured.

Operating Manual CX270 S1

These uses include control of nuclear reactions in nuclear power plants,

automatic airplane flight control, air traffic control, traffic control in mass

transport systems, medical devices for life support, and missile guidance

control in weapons systems (hereafter, "high safety use"). Customers should

not use this product for high safety use unless measures are in place for

ensuring the level of safety demanded of such use. Please consult the sales

staff of Fujitsu if intending to use this product for high safety use.

Measures against momentary voltage drop

This product may be affected by a momentary voltage drop in the power supply

caused by lightning. To prevent a momentary voltage drop, use of an AC

uninterruptible power supply is recommended.

CX270 S1 Operating Manual 7

1 Introduction

Two PRIMERGY CX270 S1 server nodes, each in a half-wide, 2U form-factor,

are embedded as a set into a single 2U PRIMERGY CX400 multi-node server

enclosure, thus providing an aggregated scale-out performance of a total of 4

CPUs of the Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2600 product family. The dual socket

server nodes combine high performance and attractive purchase costs with

high energy efficiency while coming without any local fans or power supply

units. With up to 16 high bandwidth memory modules for up to 512 GB capacity

and two top-bin CPUs out of the Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2600 family,

CX270 S1 server nodes have a great versatility to match very ambitious server

profiles and workload scenarios. Two main usage scenarios are high

performance computing and virtual client computing, the latter utilizing e. g.

Citrix XenDesktop, VMware View Premier, or Microsoft Windows VDS as

enabling software bases.

Besides two onboard 1 GbE ports, three PCIe Gen3 I/O slots are provided, one

for an x16 GPGPU card and the other for two x8 low profile card. Diverse

interfaces from 1 to 10 Gb Ethernet, 10 Gb Fibre Channel over Ethernet, up to

56 Gb FDR Infiniband may be used with LP cards, while the mezzanine slot

either holds a 10 GbE or a RAID controller.

Access to local storage drives is granted by assignment of up to six HDDs or

SSDs that are physically located in the PRIMERGY CX400 server enclosure.

Four SATA drives can flexibly be accessed via onboard controller with software

RAID 0, 1 (six w/o RAID); more drives, SAS drives, or additional RAID 5, 50, 6

is realized via RAID card with cache and optional BBU. Local system boot for

VMware ESXi is possible via USB Flash Module.

The highly compact server node occupies two height units (HU) in the server

enclosure.
