The Flash EPROM program supplied with the Fujitsu utilities supports a fast
BIOS update.
With the iRMC (integrated Remote Management Controller) on the system
board, the PRIMERGY RX2520 M4 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.
ServerView Remote Management
ServerView Remote Management is the remote management solution from
Fujitsu for PRIMERGY servers. ServerView Remote Management 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.

Connecting the server to the mains
In its basic configuration level the server has one PSU.
A second PSU can be added to ensure a redundant power supply. If one PSU
is defective, the other then guarantees unimpaired operation. Each PSU can be
replaced during operation (see the "FUJITSU Server PRIMERGY RX2520 M4
Server Upgrade and Maintenance Manual").
V
CAUTION!
The server is automatically set to a mains voltage in the range of:
–
–
100 V to 240 V, valid for Platinum 450 W and Platinum 800 W
200 V to 240 V, valid for Titanium 800 W
You may only operate the server if its rated voltage range corresponds to
the local mains voltage.
Ê
Ê
Connect the power cord to the PSU.
Connect the mains connector to an outlet on the rack's socket strip (see also
Technical Manual for the rack).
