Introduction
The PRIMERGY TX300 server is an Intel-based server for mid-size networks
and large companies. The server is suitable for use as a file server and also as
an application, information or Internet server. It is available as a floorstand or
rack model. The floorstand model can be converted to a rack model using an
optional conversion kit.
The PRIMERGY TX300 server offers a high level of reliability and availability
through highly developed hardware and software components. These include
hot-swap hard disk drive modules, redundant system fans and power supply
units, and hot-plug PCI slots, the ServerView server management software,
„Prefailure Detection and Analysing" (PDA) and „Automatic Server Reconfigu-
ration and Restart" (ASR&R).
The term hot-swap refers to the online replacement of a component (e.g. a
failed hard disk drive, which is configured as a member of a disk array (RAID)).
The term hot-plug refers to the replacement of components while the power is
switched on. In the special case of hot-plug PCI boards it is ensured that the
corresponding PCI slot is powered off before removing the board.
Security functions in the BIOS Setup and on the system board protect the data
on the server against manipulation. Additional security is provided by the
intrusion detection and the lockable drive cover on the floorstand model and/or
the lockable rack door.
The rack model occupies 4 height units (HU) in the rack.
