Introduction

The FUJITSU Server PRIMERGY RX2540 M1 sets the standard for next-
generation 2U dual-socket rack servers. With best-in-class energy efficiency,
serviceability, customer-inspired design and unmatched performance, the
RX2540 M1 is ideal for today's demanding data centers. The modular design of
the server offers excellent expandability with 24 memory slots, 8 PCIe Gen 3
expansion cards, and two hot-plug power supplies with up to 96% efficiency.
The modular power supplies are common units for the PRIMERGY mono- and
dual-socket servers allowing to "right-size" the energy demands for specific
requirements. In line with the Cool-safe Advanced Thermal Design (ATD) they
provide highest level of power efficiency in the IT industry. Additionally the new
generation of server provides DynamicLoM technology so that users can now
choose the type of network adapter they want. This new DynamicLoM provides
the ability to customize server's networking of today and the ability to change to
meet future needs without overhauling server infrastructure. With the possible
usage of up to 24 disk drives the system is ideally suited for serverized storage
topics in order to build distributed storage architectures across multiple servers.

The use of the latest Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3 product family along with new
DDR4 memory technology offers increased application performance, improved
security and efficiency to be able to cope with data growth. User-inspired design
features such as quick release levers for tool less fixing in a rack as well as
cable management solutions for tool less mounting to rails improve
serviceability.
The combination of increased processing power and memory capacity as well
as enhanced management options turns the PRIMERGY RX2540 M1 into the
ideal platform for running traditional databases, enterprise applications as well
as collaboration and messaging workloads. Plus, it substantially simplifies
carrying out infrastructure-related tasks like server virtualization and
consolidation.
