TX300 S4 Operating manual 7

1 Preface

The PRIMERGY TX300 S4 server is an Intel-based server for mid-size and

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

application, information or Internet server. It is available as a floorstand or rack

model. The floorstand model can be converted to a rack model using an optional

conversion kit.

Thanks to its highly developed hardware and software components, the

PRIMERGY TX300 S4 server offers a high level of data security and availability.

These components include hot-plug HDD modules and hot-plug power supply

units, redundant system fans, and also the Server Management ServerView

Suite, Prefailure Detection and Analysis (PDA) and Automatic Server Reconfig-

uration 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

intrusion detection and the lockable drive cover on the floorstand model and the

lockable rack door.

The rack model occupies 4 height units 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 infor-

mation you need to put your PRIMERGY TX300 S4 server blade 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.

– Documentation for boards and drives

– Documentation for your operating system

– Information files on your operating system

1.3 Features

Customer Self Service (CSS)

The Fujitsu Siemens Computers 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

– Memory modules

– System fans

– Expansion cards

For information on replacing these components, see chapter “Hot-plug compo-

nents” on page 95 or the Options Guide for your PRIMERGY TX300 S4 on the

ServerBooks DVD.

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 “Controls and indicators” on page 71

and the "Customer Self Service (CSS)" manual on the ServerBooks DVD).

You can also fit your server with a ServerView Local Service Panel, which

enables you to identify the type of component affected by the error directly on

the server (for more information, see the "Customer Self Service (CSS)" manual

on the ServerBooks DVD).

In addition, CSS errors are displayed in ServerView S2, the server

management software from Fujitsu Siemens Computers.

In the event of errors, ServerView S2 refers you directly to the affected

component and its order information in the Illustrated Spares catalog of the

server in question.

10 Operating manual TX300 S4

Features Preface

System board

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

system board D2529 for the hardware and in the “BIOS Setup” for the firmware.

TPM (optional)

The system board is optional equipped with a TPM (Trusted Platform Module)

by the manufacturer. This module enables programs from third party manufac-

turers to store key information (e.g. drive encryption using Windows Bitlocker

Drive Encryption).

The TPM is activated via the BIOS system (for more information, refer to the

Fujitsu Siemens Computers BIOS manual).

VCAUTION!

– When using the TPM, note the program descriptions provided by the

third party manufacturers.

– You must also create a backup of the TPM content. To do this, follow

the third party manufacturer's instructions. Without this backup, if the

TPM or the system board is faulty you will not be able to access your

data.

– If a failure occurs, please inform your service about the TPM

activation before it takes any action, and be prepared to provide them

with your backup copies of the TPM content.

PCI slots

The server has one standard PCI slot and six PCI express slots. Of these six

PCI express slots, four are x4 slots and two potential x8 slots. The capacity of

the two x8 slots depends on how all the PCI express slots are filled (see System

Board manual D2529).
