Features Introduction
Server Management
Server management is implemented with the aid of the supplied ServerView software and PDA (Prefailure Detection and Analyzing) technology from Fujitsu Siemens Computers. PDA reports early the threat of a system error or overloading so that preventative measures can be taken.
ServerView enables the management of all PRIMERGY servers in the network via a central console. Here ServerView supports the following functions:
● Remote startup (Wakeup On LAN)
● Temperature monitoring of the CPU and the surrounding area
● Power monitoring
● End-of-life monitoring of the fans with timely notification before a failure
● Watchdog timer for operating system monitoring and application monitoring with ASR&R
Further information on the ServerView server management is provided in the associated documentation (see “Related publications” on page 63).
Server Management LAN (SM LAN)
The Server Management LAN is a direct communication interface between a remote system and the local BMC. It is used for “Console Redirection” (text and grafical) and for transferring e. g. power management commands from the remote system to the BMC via LAN.
The LAN connection (only LAN port 1) (see section “Connecting Devices to the Server” on page 36) can be exclusive for management or be shared with the standard OS.
ServerStart

Installing/Removing the Server into/from the Rack Hardware Installation
4.3.1 Requirements of the Rack
The rack systems of the Fujitsu Siemens Computers (PRIMECENTER Rack, DataCenter Rack) support fully the installation of the PRIMERGY RX100 S3 server system. The installation into the at present usual rack systems of different foreign manufacturers (3rd-Party Rack) is supported to large part.
To accommodate the ventilation concept and ensure proper ventilation of the components in the rack, any unused areas must be closed using dummy covers.
The power is supplied via the socket strips available in the rack.
The main features of the rack systems of the Fujitsu Siemens Computers are:
PRIMECENTER Rack
– Frontally bolted telescopic rails (in the rear left area a support bracket is used).
The rails are provided with a linear alignment possibility to ensure also an adjustment to different rack depths.
DataCenter Rack
– Frontally or laterally bolted telescopic rails (in the rear left area a support bracket is used).
The rails are provided with a linear alignment possibility to ensure also an adjustment to different rack depths.

8 Hot-plug Hard Disk DrivesUp to two SATA hard disk drives can be installed in the PRIMERGY RX100 S3 server. There is a “hot-plug” and a “non hot-plug” variant of the server.
I If your server is a non hot-plug variant, this chapter does not apply to you.
Upgrading or replacing non hot-plug components is described in the “Options Guide” or in the Service Supplement and may only be performed by autorized, qualified staff.
The hot-plug hard disk drives are built on a carrier which allows defective drives to be replaced or new drives to be added during operation. The hard disk drive and the carrier constitute the hard disk drive module (called “HDD module” in the following sections).
This chapter describes how to handle hot-plug HDD modules (see page 58) and how to remove and install HDD modules (see page 59).
V CAUTION!
Only a service technician may remove a hard disk drive from the HDD module.
V CAUTION!
The HDD modules must be marked clearly so that they can be put back into their original place after an upgrade. If this is not taken into account, existing data can be destroyed.
V CAUTION!
The hot-plug function can only be performed together with a corre-sponding SATA RAID configuration.
Further information about SATA RAID configurations or RAID levels can be found in the SATA RAID controller documentation (see “Related publi-cations” on page 63).

Handling HDD Modules Hot-plug Hard Disk Drives
8.1 Handling HDD Modules
The hard disk drives incorporated in the HDD modules are highly sensitive electromagnetic devices and must be handled with great care. It is extremely likely that an incorrect handling will lead to a partially and/or total failure of the hard disk drives.
These failures will result in data errors and to loss of data or to total destruction of the hard disk drive.
Please observe the following rules, which will help to avoid the occurrence of this type of problems:
● Store and transport HDD modules only within the limits stipulated in the specification.
● When transporting HDD modules (even over short distances), always use the original packaging (ESD labeling).
● Never expose a HDD module to a temperature shock. Avoid the formation of condensation inside and on the outside of the hard disk drives.
V CAUTION!
The HDD module must be acclimatized in its operating environment for an acclimatization time.
● Always put the HDD module down carefully, with its largest surface facing downwards, to avoid the danger of tipping over.

Hot-plug Hard Disk Drives Installing/Removing a HDD/Dummy Module
8.2 Installing/Removing a HDD/Dummy Module
Removing the dummy module
Free slots are provided with a dummy module (an empty carrier) which must be removed before installing an additional HDD module.
Figure 11: Removing the dummy module (hot-plug variant only)
Ê Press both tabs on the dummy module together (see figure 11) until the locking mechanism disengages, and remove the dummy module from the slot.
Installation of the dummy module occurs in reverse order.
V CAUTION!
Keep the dummy module for future use. If the HDD module is removed again and is not replaced with a new module, then the dummy module must be reinstalled due to cooling, the applicable EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) regulations and fire protection.

Figure 12: Unlocking the hot-plug HDD module
Ê Release the locking mechanism by pressing the locking button (1).
I If the HDD modules are provided with a transport lock (1 in figure 13), remove it before you release the locking mechanism.
Ê Push the handle of the HDD module fully in the direction of the arrow.

Installing/Removing a HDD/Dummy Module Hot-plug Hard Disk Drives
Swapping the HDD module
If you want to replace a hot-plug HDD module during operation, proceed as follows:
Ê Pull out the HDD module by a few centimeters.
V CAUTION!
Under no circumstances should you remove a HDD module while the system is in operation, if you are not sure that the hard disk drive is operated by a SATA RAID controller and belongs to a disk array which is operating in RAID level 1.
Only pull out a HDD module if the drive is not being accessed. Observe the control LEDs for the corresponding HDD module (see “Hard disk drive control indicators” on page 41).
Ê Wait for at least 60 seconds.
I This period is necessary for the SATA RAID controller to recognize that a HDD module has been pulled out and for the hard disk drive to come to a stop.
Ê Pull out the HDD module completely.
Ê Insert the new HDD module, as described in “Unlocking the HDD module” on page 60 and in “Installing the HDD module” on page 61.
V CAUTION!
If the HDD module is removed and not replaced with a new module, then the dummy module must be reinstalled due to cooling, the applicable EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) regulations and fire protection. Make sure that the retaining clips of the dummy unit engage correctly in the location.
