Introduction; Features - Fujitsu PRIMERGY 400 Operating Manual

Introduction

The PRIMERGY400 and 200 are Intel-based servers for small and medium-sized networks and can
be used as tower or rack servers. Conversion to the respective other version is possible with an
optional conversion kit.
The PRIMERGY 400 and 200 servers offer a high level of failure safety and availability through
highly developed hardware and software components. Hardware components include hot-replace
carriers, the ServerView server management , PDA (Prefailure Detection and Analyzing) and ASR&R
(Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart).
Security functions in the BIOS Setup and on the system board protect the data on the server against
manipulation. As a tower server, the lockable door and an anti-theft protection device on the back of
the unit offer additional protection. As a rack server, the lockable door of the rack offers additional
safety.
This Operating Manual tells you how to put your server into operation, how to operate it in daily use
and how to expand your server. Work steps which are identical for the tower and rack version are
only described for the tower version.

Features

System board
System boards with various features are available for the PRIMERGY 400 and 200 server systems
to suit a wide range of requirements. For a description of the features of the system board integrated
in your server, please see the manuals System Board for the hardware and BIOS Setup for the
software.
Hard disk subsystem
The hard disk subsystem comprises four or six 3 ½-inch hard disk carriers and the SCSI platter.
Each hard disk carrier can accommodate an SCSI hard disk drive with an SCA (Single Connector
Attachment) interface and a maximum height of 1.6 inches or 1 inch. The module is connected to
the SCSI disk without cables via the SCA interface. This allows the hard disk drive to be simply
plugged in or pulled out.
The hard disk subsystem is designed for 80 MHz SCSI. The version with four 3 ½-inch hard disk
carriers is a 1-channel, the version with six 3 ½-inch hard disk carriers can be configured as 2-
channel with two hard disks or as 1-channel with six hard disks. The hard disk subsystem can be
controlled by a standard controller or by a disk array controller (DAC). If the server is equipped with
a DAC, defective hard disk drives can also be replaced during operation (hot replace).
