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 and solid state disks  
Hot-plug power supply units  
Hot-plug Memory modules  
Hot-plug System fans  
Expansion cards (as soon as released)  
For information on replacing these components, see chapter "CSS  
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 "Starting up and operation" on  
page 57 and the "ServerView Suite Local Service Concept - LSC" manual on  
the ServerView Suite DVD 2).  
Your server is equipped with a ServerView Local Service Display, 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.  
In the event of errors, the ServerView Operations Manager refers you directly  
to the affected component and its order information in the Illustrated Spares  
catalog of the server in question. (This feature is not available for the Japanese  
market.)

Preface  
System board  
The features of the system board are described in the "System Board D3141 for  
PRIMERGY RX600 S6 Technical Manual" for the hardware and in the "System  
Board D3141 BIOS Setup Utility for PRIMERGY RX600 S6" manual for the  
firmware.  
Hot-plug PCI slots  
The server has ten PCI-Express slots, where two of them are hot-plug slots.  
These hot-plug PCI-Express slots allow installation and removal of boards  
during operation when the operating system supports this function (for further  
Hard disk drives  
The server can be equipped with up to 8 HDD/SSD modules. Each HDD/SSD  
module can accommodate an HDD/SSD drive with a 2.5-inch format. The  
modules are connected to the SAS/SATA backplane wirelessly. This allows  
HDD/SSD modules to be plugged in or pulled out easily.  
The hard disk system is designed for SAS/SATA with one channel for each hard  
disk drive.  
If the server has the corresponding RAID configuration, HDD/SSD modules can  
also be replaced during operation.  
SAS/SATA controller card (optionally with RAID controller)  
The SAS/SATA controller card for operating up to eight SAS/SATA hard disk  
drives can be alternately without or with RAID functionality. In case of RAID  
functionality the levels 0, 1, 1E, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 are supported.  
Battery Backup Units  
Up to two intelligent Battery Backup Units (iBBUs) back up the memory contents  
of their corresponding RAID controllers in the event of power failure (option).  
Accessible drives/components  
A number of mounting locations are available:  
An installation slot for a ServerView Local Service Display (standard)  
An installation slot for a slimline DVD/BD drive (option)  
A 5.25-inch bay for a magnetic tape drive (option)

Preface  
The accessible drives/components integrated in these locations cannot be  
replaced during operation.  
Power supply  
The server has up to four hot-plug power supply units that automatically switch  
to a mains voltage of 100 - 127 V / 200 - 240 V. This ensures redundant power  
supply. If one power supply unit is defective, the other(s) then guarantee(s)  
unimpaired operation. The faulty power supply unit can be replaced during  
operation (for further details see "Hot-plug power supply units" on page 87).  
Cooling  
Each processor has a heat sink. Further cooling for the installed processors is  
provided by hot-plug fans (optionally in a redundant configuration).  
Temperature sensors variably adjust the fans. If a temperature sensor fails or is  
removed, the fans affected run at maximum speed so as to provide the greatest  
possible protection for the hardware.  
If a fan fails, unimpaired further operation is ensured. A defective fan module  
can be replaced during operation (for further details see "Hot-plug fans" on  
page 91).  
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. The  
patented memory scrubbing function regularly starts up the EDC mechanism  
(Error Detection Code) and thus ensures continuous data integrity.  
The memory modules used support SDDC technology (Chipkill™), which  
further increases the effectiveness of memory error monitoring and correction.  
Support is likewise provided for hot-spare memory technology, in which a  
memory module is used like a replacement module. If a memory module fails,  
the module with the defective memory is automatically deactivated and the  
replacement module is activated (provided it has been configured for  
appropriately in the BIOS). The deactivated memory module is no longer used  
and the faulty memory module can be replaced at the next opportunity. In order  
to be able to use the hot-spare memory function, all occupied DIMM slots must  
have an identical memory configuration.  
Memory modules can be protected against failure through mirroring (memory  
mirroring, requires two or four memory modules).

Preface  
ASR&R (Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart) restarts the system in  
the event of an error and automatically "hides" the defective system  
components.  
The PDA (Prefailure Detection and Analysis) technology from Fujitsu analyzes  
and monitors all components that are critical for system reliability.  
The SAS/SATA controller card supports the RAID levels 0, 1, 1E, 5, 6, 10, 50  
and 60 thus increasing system availability and reliability.  
Additional reliability is provided by the hot-plug HDD/SSD modules, fans and  
power supply units.

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.

4.4.1 Installation requirements  
The power subsystem consists of:  
Power supply modules (PSU)  
A power distribution board (PDB)  
The power supply subsystem can support up to 4 PSUs which all connect to the  
PDB. The total system is rated 100 - 127 V / 200 - 240 V, 50/60 Hz, 28/14 A.The  
minimum system configuration requires installation of at least two PSUs. The  
PSU is considered hot-swappable(see "Hot-plug power supply units" on  
page 87). The system can be configured to support *True AC redundancy or  
non-AC redundancy.  
I
*True AC redundancy is recommended for systems used for critical  
business applications. This will result in the system to continue operation  
during a power failure as the redundant part of the subsystem is plugged  
I into a separate AC source (e.g. uninterruptable power supply (UPS)).  
Refer to tables below for maximum DC loading for both AC redundant  
and AC non redundant configurations.  
Installation requirements for AC redundant configurations

or a *RESTRICTED ACCESS LOCATION.  
* Definition of RESTRICTED ACCESS LOCATION is a location for  
equipment where both of the following apply:  
Access can only be gained by SERVICE PERSONS or by USERS who  
have been instructed about the reasons for the restrictions applied to the  
location and about any precautions that shall be taken; and  
Access is through the use of a TOOL or lock and key, or other means of  
security, and is controlled by the authority responsible for the location.  
2. The building installation shall provide means for connection to protective  
earth as follows: Connection to protective earth can be provided by the  
socket-outlet that provides power to the PSU. A service person requires  
checking the socket-outlet to make sure it has a protective earth. If the  
socket-outlet does not have a protective earth, then the service person  
requires arranging:

Hot-plug components  
This section describes how to handle hot-plug components and how to modify  
your server hardware (e.g. adding/replacing hot-plug power supply units).  
The hot-plug procedure increases the availability of system operation and  
guarantees a high degree of data integrity and failsafe performance.  
8.1.1 Hot-plug power supply units  
The server must have at least two hot-plug power supply units (PSUs) to ensure  
redundant power supply. If one power supply unit fails, the other unit ensures  
that the operation can continue uninterrupted. The defective power supply unit  
can be replaced during operation (hot-plug).  
V
CAUTION!  
Areas around the power supply unit may remain extremely hot after  
shutdown. Wait for a while after shutdown before removing the power  
supply unit.  
When installing the power supply unit, be sure to confirm that the  
connector of the PSU is not damaged or bent.  
Do not insert your hands in the power supply unit slot when removing  
the power supply unit. Doing so may cause electric shock.  
If the power supply unit is hard to remove, do not pull out it by force.  
The power supply unit is heavy, so handle it carefully. If you drop it by  
mistake, injuries may result.

8.1.3 Hot-plug HDD/SSD modules  
The hard disk drives or solid state disks which can be ordered for the  
PRIMERGY RX600 S6 are supplied already mounted in an installation frame so  
that defective hard disk drives or solid state disks can be replaced and new  
hard disk drives or solid state disks can be added during operation. The hard  
disk drive or solid state disk and the installation frame together make up the  
HDD/SSD module.  
V
CAUTION!  
The hard disk drive or solid state disk must not be removed from the  
installation frame by anyone except a service technician.  
The HDD/SSD 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  
corresponding RAID configuration.  
Further information about the RAID configuration or RAID level can  
be found in the RAID controller documentation.  
Do not touch the circuitry on boards or soldered parts. Hold the  
metallic areas or the edges of the circuit boards.  
Before removing the unit, wait for about 30 seconds until the disk  
stops spinning completely.  
When the hard disk unit is starting up, you may hear a resonant noise  
for a while, but this does not mean a failure.  
Depending on the OS, you can configure the write cache settings for  
the hard disk drives or solid state disks. If a power failure should occur  
while the write cache is enabled, cached data may be lost.  
When disposing of, transferring, or returning a hard disk unit, wipe out  
the data on the drive for your own security.  
Rough handling of hard disk units can damage the stored data. To  
cope with any unexpected problems, always back up important data.  
When backing up data to another hard disk drive, you should make  
backups on a file or partition basis.  
Be careful not to hit the hard disk unit or bring it into contact with  
metallic objects.

CSS components  
Use the device on a shock and vibration free surface.  
Do not use the unit in extremely hot or cold locations, or locations with  
extreme temperature changes.  
Never attempt to disassemble the hard disk unit.  
Handling drives and HDD/SSD modules  
Drives incorporated in the HDD/SSD modules are highly sensitive  
electromagnetic devices and must be handled with great care. Incorrect  
handling can cause partial or total failure of the drives. These failures can result  
in data errors and to a loss of data or to total corruption of the drive.  
Observe the following rules to prevent such problems occurring:  
Only store and transport HDD/SSD modules within the limits stipulated in the  
specification.  
When transporting HDD/SSD modules (even over short distances), always  
use the original packaging (ESD label).  
Never expose HDD/SSD modules to a temperature shock. Avoid the  
formation of condensation inside and on the outside of the drive.  
V
CAUTION!  
The HDD/SSD module must be acclimatized in its operating  
environment for an acclimatization time before it is started up for the  
first time.
