1 Introduction

The PRIMERGY RX800 S2 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) which can be combined up to a 16-way configuration

consisting of four nodes. It is matchless in its approach to system scalability,

designed to enable enterprises to exactly match their current investments to

actual performance requirements and grow as requirements increase over time.

The PRIMERGY RX800 S2 satisfies highest performance requirements. It is

ideally suited for centralized enterprise class data center environments. Appli-

cation areas are especially large database server and system platforms for

server consolidation (for VMware ESX server). With its unique flexibility and

scalability, the PRIMERGY RX800 S2 is ideal where future-proof servers are

required to satisfy growing performance demands.

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,

PCI-X adapters, memory and fans are hot-pluggable. Local system monitoring

is supported by LEDs indicating all relevant system operation and failure states.

Security functions in BIOS-Setup and on the I/O Board protect the data on the

server against manipulation. The lockable door of the rack offers additional

security.

The PRIMERGY RX800 S2 is supplied as a rack-mounted model and occupies

three height units in the rack.

Overview of the Documentation Introduction

1.1 Overview of the Documentation

IPRIMERGY manuals are available in PDF format on the ServerBooks CD

which is part of the PRIMERGY ServerView Suite delivered 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 Group of this Manual

This operating manual describes how to install, commission and operate your

PRIMERGY RX800 S2 server system, and how to replace hot-plug modules.

It is intended for those responsible for installing the hardware and ensuring that

the system runs smoothly.

It is necessary to have a knowledge of hardware and data transmission, as well

as basic knowledge of the operating system used.

Additional Components of the System Documentation

The PRIMERGY RX800 S2 documentation comprises the following manuals:

– "Quick Start Hardware - PRIMERGY RX800 S2" (poster)

– "Quick Start Software - PRIMERGY ServerView Suite" (poster)

– "Warranty" manual (print version delivered together with the system, PDF

file available on the ServerBooks CD also delivered with the system)

– "Safety" manual (print version always delivered together with the system,

PDF file available on the ServerBooks CD)

– "Ergonomics" manual (PDF file available on the ServerBooks CD)

– "Helpdesk" (poster with worldwide helpdesk telephone numbers)

– "PRIMERGY RX800 S2 Server System Options Guide" (PDF file available

on the ServerBooks CD)

IIn the Options Guide, the server extension and modification possibil-

ities are described.

Features Introduction

1.2 Features

Performance

Impressive performance using the latest microprocessor technology. The basic

configuration is a 4-way building block (node), thus supporting up to four Intel®

Xeon™ MP dual-core microprocessors. In the basic configuration, the system

comes with two microprocessors. You can install up to four microprocessors to

further enhance performance and symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) capability.

Scalability

Scalability redefines performance and investment protection by giving you the

ability to expand and scale the system as needs change. Scalability capabilities

include SMP expansion of up to four microprocessors, and resource configura-

tions for optimum performance.

The system is scalable and can be connected to multiple nodes so that you can

share resources between them. Starting from the 4-way base unit, adding a 4-

way extension unit, an 8-way (2-node) configuration is formed. Two 8-way

configuration sets may be connected to form a 16-way (4-node) configuration.

Large system memory

In the basic configuration, either 2 GB or 4 GB of memory is installed,

depending on the type of memory installied. Each node supports up to 32 GB

(64 GB) of system memory. The memory controller supports error correcting

code (ECC) for up to 16 industry-standard PC2-3200, 333 megahertz (MHz),

1.8 V, 240-pin, registered, double-data-rate (DDR) II, synchronous dynamic

random access memory (SDRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs).

Additional features are Memory Scrubbing, Chipkill™, Redundant Bit Steering,

hot-plug Memory and Memory Mirroring.

Memory Scrubbing

Memory Scrubbing is an automatic regular test of all the system memory that

detects and reports memory errors that might be developing before they cause

a system outage.

When an error is detected, Memory Scrubbing determines if the error is recov-

erable or not. If it is recoverable, Redundant Bit Steering is enabled and the data

that was stored in the damaged locations is rewritten to a new location. The
