Features  
System board  
The features of the system board are described in the technical manual for the  
system board D2550 for the hardware and in the “BIOS Setup” for the firmware  
Hard disk drives  
The server is equipped with a drive bay in which up to 2 SAS HDD modules can  
be inserted. Each HDD module can accommodate a SAS hard disk drive with a  
2.5 inch format. The module is connected to the SAS backplane without cables  
via the SAS interface. This allows hard disk drive modules to be easily plugged  
in or pulled out.  
The hard disk subsystem is designed for SAS, each with one channel for each  
hard disk drive.  
If the server has the corresponding RAID configuration, HDD modules can also  
be exchanged during operation.  
A hard disk drive extension box can be installed optionally (with a maximum of  
three HDD modules).  
Onboard SAS controller with Integrated Mirroring Enhanced functionality  
An onboard SAS controller with "Integrated Mirroring Enhanced" (IME) function-  
ality is fitted to operate the six hard drives. IME also provides RAID functionality  
for configuring the internal hard drives (RAID level 0, 1, 1E).  
I
A separate utility is available to the controller for IME configuration. For  
further information, refer to the “Integrated Mirroring User’s Guide” on the  
ServerBooks DVD (select “Controllers” from the menu).

Introduction  
Features  
HDD expansion box and accessible drives  
Two mounting locations are available:  
a 3.5-inch bay for an HDD expansion box or a backup drive.  
a 5.25 inch bay with a slimline CD/DVD drive.  
The accessible drives cannot be replaced during operation.  
USB ports  
The USB ports on the front of the device enable USB devices to be connected  
directly. The maximum length of the external cable are three meters.  
Power supply  
The server has a built-in power supply unit, which automatically sets itself to a  
mains voltage in the range 100 V - 127 V or 200 V - 240 V.  
High level of availability and data security  
When memory data is accessed, 1-bit errors in the main memory are identified  
and automatically corrected with the ECC (Error Correcting Code) method.  
ASR&R (Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart) restarts the system in  
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 that are critical for system  
reliability.  
The onboard SAS controller supports RAID levels 0 and 1, thereby increasing  
the availability of the system. The hot-plug HDD modules provide additional  
security.

Introduction  
iRMC with integrated service LAN port  
I
The features of the iRMC Advanced Video Redirection and Remote  
Storage are available as an option.  
The iRMC (integrated Remote Management Controller) is a BMC with  
integrated service LAN port and expanded functionality that was previously only  
available with additional plug-in cards. In this way, the iRMC enables complete  
control of PRIMERGY servers, regardless of system status, and thus particu-  
larly the control of PRIMERGY servers that are in the "out-of-band" system  
status.  
By default, the service LAN port is assigned to the iRMC. However, you can also  
configure the LAN port as the service LAN port in the BIOS setup. The LAN port  
then fulfills the tasks of a standard LAN port and those of a service LAN port at  
the same time (virtual LAN with 2 different IP addresses).  
Major functions supported by the iRMC include the following:  
Browser access via iRMC's own Web server  
Secure communication (SSH, SSL)  
Power Management for the managed server (depending on its system  
status)  
Text console bypass  
Command Line Interface (CLP)  
Simple, interactive or script-based iRMC configuration  
iRMC-s own user management  
Automatic network configuration via DNS / DHCP  
Power supply of the iRMC via the system standby supply  
Full-coverage alarm management  
System Error and Event Log (SEL) reading and processing  
More information about the iRMC can be found in the "PRIMERGY ServerView  
Suite - integrated Remote Management Controller (iRMC)" manual (see “Liter-

Introduction  
Features  
Server Management  
Server Management is implemented using theServerView software supplied  
combined with PDA (Prefailure Detection and Analyzing) technology from  
Fujitsu Siemens Computers. PDA reports the threat of a system error or  
overload at an early stage, allowing preventive measures to be taken.  
ServerView enables the management of all PRIMERGY servers in the network  
via a central console. The following key functions and others are supported by  
ServerView:  
Round-the-clock monitoring, regardless of server status  
High-performance, graphical console bypass (AVR) protected by  
HTTPS/SSL (128 bit)  
Remote storage via USB  
Remote power on (Wake On LAN)  
Automatic switch-off when the housing is opened (Housing monitoring)  
Temperature monitoring of the CPU and the surrounding area  
Watchdog timer for Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart (ASR&R)  
in the event of failure of memory modules or processors  
Power monitoring  
End-of-life monitoring of fans with prompt notification before failure  
Watchdog timer for operating system monitoring and application monitoring  
with ASR&R  
Further information about ServerView server management is provided in the  
associated documentation (see “Literature” on page 77).  
ServerStart  
You can configure the PRIMERGY server quickly and precisely with the Server-  
Start software provided. User-guided menus are available for installing the  
server operating system (for further details see section “Configuring the server”

Features  
Introduction  
Service and support  
PRIMERGY servers are service-friendly and modular, thus enabling quick and  
simple maintenance.  
The handles and locks (touch point) on the different hot pluggable 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 areas of all  
components that can be touched without causing damage to the respective  
component.  
The Flash EPROM program supplied with the Fujitsu Siemens Computers  
utilities supports a fast BIOS update.  
With the iRMC (integrated Remote Management Controller) on the system  
board and the optional remote testing and diagnostic system RemoteView, the  
PRIMERGY TX120 server can also be maintained and serviced remotely. This  
enables remote diagnosis 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 PRIMERGY servers. RemoteView and the relevant hardware  
components integrated on the system board allow remote monitoring and  
maintenance as well as fast restoration of operation 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.  
The administrator can access all system information and information from the  
sensors such as fan speeds or voltages via the iRMC's Web interface (see  
the text-based or graphic console bypass (Advanced Video Redirection, AVR)  
and get information about remote storage.

Upgrades, updates and replacement of non-hot-pluggable components  
are described in the “Options Guide” or in the service supplement and  
V may only be performed by authorized specialist personnel.  
CAUTION!  
Follow the safety instructions in the chapter “Important information” on  
Up to four hot-pluggable hard disk drives can be installed in the PRIMERGY  
TX120 server.  
The hard disk drives which can be ordered for the PRIMERGY TX120 are  
supplied already mounted in an installation frame so that defective hard disk  
drives can be replaced and new drives can be added during operation. The  
HDD drive and installation frame together make up the HDD module.  
This chapter provides you with details of how to handle the HDD modules (see  
page 62) and how to install and remove HDD modules on your server (see  
page 64).  
V
CAUTION!  
The HDD must not be removed from the installation frame by anyone  
except a service technician.  
The HDD modules (drives) must all be marked clearly so that they  
can be put back in their original places after an upgrade. If this is not  
done, existing data can be lost.  
The hot-plug function is only possible in conjunction with a corre-  
sponding RAID configuration.  
Further information about RAID configuration or the RAID level can  
be found in the RAID controller documentation (see “Literature” on  
page 77).

Handling hard disk drives and HDD modules  
Hot-plug hard disk drives  
8.1  
Handling hard disk drives and HDD  
modules  
Hard disk drives incorporated in the HDD modules are highly sensitive electro-  
magnetic devices and must be handled with great care. Incorrect handling can  
cause partial or total failure of the hard disk drives. These failures can result in  
data errors and to a loss of data or to total corruption of the hard disk drive.  
Observe the following rules to prevent such problems occurring:  
Only store and transport HDD modules within the limits stipulated in the  
specification.  
When transporting HDD modules (even over short distances), always use  
the original packaging (ESD label).  
Never expose HDD modules to a temperature shock. Avoid the formation of  
condensation inside and on the outside of the hard disk drive.  
V
CAUTION!  
The HDD module must be acclimatized in its operating environment  
for an acclimatization time before it is started up for the first time.

Always set the HDD module down carefully, with the large surface facing  
downwards to prevent it from tipping over.

Press both tabs on the dummy module together until the locking mechanism  
disengages (1).  
Ê
Pull the dummy module out of the slot (2).  
To install a dummy module, follow the same procedure in reverse order.  
V
CAUTION!  
Store the dummy module in a safe place. If you have removed an HDD  
module and do not install a new one in its place, put the dummy module  
back in its place for cooling, to comply with EMC regulations (regulations  
regarding electromagnetic compatibility), and for protection against fire.  
Ensure that the dummy module engages correctly in the slot.

CAUTION!  
Only remove a HDD module during operation if the drive is not  
currently being accessed. Observe the control LEDs for the corre-  
page 47).  
Under no circumstances should you remove an HDD module while  
the system is in operation if you are not sure whether the hard disk  
drive is operated by a RAID controller and belongs to a disk array  
which is operating at RAID level 1.  
An HDD module can only be replaced during operation in conjunction  
with a corresponding RAID configuration.  
All HDD modules (drives) must be uniquely identified so that they can  
be reinstalled in their original mounting locations later. If this is not  
done, existing data can be lost.  
If you want to remove an HDD module during operation, proceed as follows:  
Ê
If you want to remove a HDD module that is not defective, the drive must be  
first set to offline via the software (RAID controller configuration software).  
Ê
Unlock the HDD module as described in section “Unlocking the HDD  
Ê
Ê
Pull the HDD module out a few centimeters.  
Wait for at least 60 seconds.  
I
This period is necessary for the RAID controller to recognize that an  
HDD module has been removed and for the hard disk drive to come  
to a stop.  
Ê
Pull the HDD module out completely.
