General information
Ventilation
The system is kept cool by three fans in each power supply unit and four single
fans, with two of them mounted one after the other in a housing in the rear
chassis. This configuration is redundant and hot-swappable.
Server management
With ServerView and PDA technology, Fujitsu Siemens Computers offers a
complete server management solution. ServerView allows the management of all
PRIMERGY servers in the network using a single central console, normally a
standard PC running the Microsoft Windows operating system.
The following functions are supported:
– Temperature monitoring of the CPU and housing
– Power monitoring
– Timer-controlled switch-on
– Watchdog timer for ASR&R (Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart)
in the event of failure of memory modules or processors
– Watchdog timer for operating system monitoring and application monitoring
– Detailed status and error reports for bus systems, processors and main
memory
– Error message logging in non-volatile NVRAM
By controlling both server components and operational status, a substantial
increase in reliability is achieved. In addition to server management,
version management offers a variety of powerful maintenance tools:
Inventory View
Export Manager
Download Manager (contained in ServerView Web Extension as of V2.0)
Global Flash Tool
Archive Manager
