Features Preface – For up to eight 2.5-inch SAS/SATA hard disk drives: Up to eight SAS HDD modules can be used in the drive cage. Each HDD module can accommodate an SAS hard disk drive with a 2.5-inch format. The modules are connected to the SAS backplane wirelessly. This allows HDD modules to be plugged in or pulled out easily.

ASR&R (Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart) restarts the system in the event of an error and automatically "hides" the defective system compo- nents. The PDA (Prefailure Detection and Analysis) technology from Fujitsu Siemens Computers analyzes and monitors all components that are critical for system reliability.
Page 15
Server management Server management is implemented using the ServerView software supplied combined with PDA (Prefailure Detection and Analysis) technology from Fujitsu Siemens Computers. PDA reports the threat of a system error or overload at an early stage, allowing preventive measures to be taken.
Page 16
With the iRMC (integrated Remote Management Controller) on the system board and the optional remote testing and diagnostic system RemoteView, the PRIMERGY TX150 S6 server can also be maintained and serviced remotely. This enables remote diagnosis for system analysis, remote configuration and remote restart should the operating system or hardware fail.
