Performance features  
Customer Self Service (CSS)  
The PRIMERGY 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 (only with an attached storage blade like SX940  
S1)  
Memory modules  
Expansion cards  
For information on replacing these components, see chapter "Replacing CSS  
components" on page 59.  
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 "Installation and operation" on  
page 41 and the "ServerView Suite Local Service Concept - LSC" manual on  
the ServerView Suite DVD 2).  
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 "ServerView Suite Local Service  
Concept - LSC" manual on the ServerView Suite DVD 2).  
In addition, CSS errors are displayed in the ServerView Operations Manager,  
the server management software from Fujitsu.

Working with CDs/DVDs/BDs and optical drives  
When working with devices with optical drives, these instructions must be  
followed.  
V
CAUTION!  
Only use CDs/DVDs/BDs that are in perfect condition, in order to  
prevent data loss, equipment damage and injury.  
Check each CD/DVD/BD for damage, cracks, breakages etc. before  
inserting it in the drive.  
Note that any additional labels applied may change the mechanical  
properties of a CD/DVD/BD and cause imbalance.  
Damaged and imbalanced CDs/DVDs/BDs can break at high drive  
speeds (data loss).  
Under certain circumstances, sharp CD/DVD/BD fragments can  
pierce the cover of the optical drive (equipment damage) and can fly  
out of the device (danger of injury, particularly to uncovered body  
parts such as the face or neck).  
High humidity and airborne dust levels are to be avoided. Electric  
shocks and/or server failures may be caused by liquids such as water,  
or metallic items, such as paper clips, entering a drive.  
Shocks and vibrations are also to be avoided.  
Do not insert any objects other than the specified CDs/DVDs/BDs.  
Do not pull on, press hard, or otherwise handle the CD/DVD/BD tray  
roughly.  
Do not disassemble the optical drive.  
Before use, clean the optical disk tray using a soft, dry cloth.  
As a precaution, remove disks from the optical drive when the drive  
is not to be used for a long time. Keep the optical disk tray closed to  
prevent foreign matter, such as dust, from entering the optical drive.

dust, etc. If dirty, clean with a soft, dry cloth, wiping from the center to  
the edge. Do not use benzene, thinners, water, record sprays,  
antistatic agents, or silicone-impregnated cloth.  
Be careful not to damage the CD/DVD/BD surface.  
Keep the CDs/DVDs/BDs away from heat sources.  
Do not bend or place heavy objects on CDs/DVDs/BDs.  
Do not write with ballpoint pen or pencil on the label (printed) side.  
Do not attach stickers or similar to the label side. Doing so may cause  
rotational eccentricity and abnormal vibrations.  
When a CD/DVD/BD is moved from a cold place to a warm place,  
moisture condensation on the CD/DVD/BD surface can cause data  
read errors. In this case, wipe the CD/DVD/BD with a soft, dry cloth  
then let it air dry. Do not dry the CD/DVD/BD using devices such as a  
hair dryer.  
To avoid dust, damage, and deformation, keep the CD/DVD/BD in its  
case whenever it is not in use.  
Do not store CDs/DVDs/BDs at high temperatures. Areas exposed to  
prolonged direct sunlight or near heating appliances are to be  
avoided.  
I
You can prevent damage from the optical drive and the CDs/DVDs/BDs,  
as well as premature wear of the disks, by observing the following  
suggestions:  
Only insert disks in the drive when needed and remove them after  
use.  
Store the disks in suitable sleeves.  
Protect the disks from exposure to heat and direct sunlight.  
Laser information  
The optical drive complies with IEC 60825-1 laser class 1.  
V
CAUTION!
