1.3 Performance features

Customer Self Service (CSS)

The PRIMERGY Customer Self Service (CSS) concept enables you to identify and replace the affected component yourself in the case of certain error scenarios.

In the CSS concept, you can replace the following components yourself in the event of an error:

– Hot-plug hard disk drives

– Hot-plug power supply units

– Memory modules

– System fans

– Expansion cards

For information on replacing these components, see chapter "Replacing CSS components" on page 91.

CSS indicators on the control panel and on the back of the PRIMERGY server provide you with information if a CSS event arises (for more information on the behavior of these indicators, see chapter "Installation and operation" on page 43 and the "PRIMERGY ServerView Suite Local Service Concept - LSC" manual on the PRIMERGY ServerView Suite DVD 2).

You can also fit your server with a ServerView Local Service Panel, which enables you to identify the type of component affected by the error directly on the server (for more information, see the "PRIMERGY ServerView Suite Local Service Concept - LSC" manual on the PRIMERGY ServerView Suite DVD 2).

In addition, CSS errors are displayed in the ServerView Operations Manager, the server management software from Fujitsu.

In the event of errors, the ServerView Operations Manager refers you directly to the affected component and its order information in the Illustrated Spares catalog of the server in question. (This feature is not available for the Japanese market.)

System board

The features of the system board are described in the technical manual for the system board D2861 for the hardware and in the BIOS Setup manual for the firmware.

Trusted Platform Module (TPM)

A Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for safer storage of keys can be implemented as an option. This module enables programs from third party manufacturers to store key information (e.g. drive encryption using Windows Bitlocker Drive Encryption).

The TPM is activated via the BIOS system (for more information, refer to the “D2861 BIOS Setup Utility for BX922 S2" manual).

V CAUTION!

– When using the TPM, note the program descriptions provided by the third party manufacturers.

– You must also create a backup of the TPM content. To do this, follow the third party manufacturer's instructions. Without this backup, if the TPM or the system board is faulty you will not be able to access your data.

– If a failure occurs, please inform your service about the TPM activation before it takes any action, and be prepared to provide them with your backup copies of the TPM content.

Slots for expansion cards

The server blade supports two optional mezzanine cards. This enables Fibre Channel connections, Infiniband connections and/or additional Ethernet connections to be implemented.

The following mezzanine cards are available for the server blade:

– 1 Gbit/s Ethernet mezzanine card with 4 ports (2x Intel 82575 controllers, each with two 1 Gbit/s channels)

– 8 Gbit/s fiber-channel card with 2 ports (compatible with Emulex LPe12002)

– 40-Gbit/s Infiniband mezzanine card with 2 ports

I If a server blade is configured with one or two mezzanine cards, this does not exclude other configurations for any of the other server blades in a BX900 system unit.

BX922 S2 Operating Manual 15

Introduction Performance features

If you want to install mezzanine cards in server blades, the system unit must be fitted with the corresponding Fibre Channel, Infiniband and/or Ethernet connection blades. You can find detailed information about the equipping rules for connection blades in the operating manual for the BX900 system unit.

Mezzanine cards may only be installed and removed by authorized, qualified personnel. The procedure is described in the service supplement.

SSD drives

Two SSD drives (Solid State Disk drives) can be installed in the server blade. The connection to the onboard controller is established through ports on the system board.

A UFM (USB flash module) can also be configured.

SATA-RAID support

RAID levels 0 and 1 are supported for operation of the SSD drives.

For more information on configuring the controller, see section "onboard SATA controller, configuring" on page 50.

Graphics controller

The server blade has an onboard graphics controller (integrated in the iRMC S2 controller). A monitor can be connected via the Y cable on the front of the server blade.

External ports

The server blade has a port for a special Y cable on the front, with 4 USB ports, one serial port and one VGA port.

High level of availability and data security

When memory data is accessed, 1-bit errors are identified in the main memory and automatically corrected with the error correcting code (ECC) method.

ASR&R (Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart) restarts the system in the event of an error and automatically "hides" the defective system components.

5.3 Configuring the Server Blade

This section contains information about configuring the server blade and installing the operating system.

The operating system can be installed in various ways:

– Local installation with or without the ServerView Installation Manager

You can find information on local installation in the following sections.

– Remote installation using console redirection via the user interface of the ServerView Management Blade

You can find information on console redirection in the manual "PRIMERGY BX900 Blade Server Systems ServerView Management Blade S1 User Interface Description". Apart from this, the operating system installation is carried out in the same way as a local installation.

– Importing the clone images from an image repository to the desired server blades.

For more information about this procedure, see the "ServerView Deployment Manager 5.0" manual (on PRIMERGY ServerView Suite DVD 2 under Industry Standard Servers - Software - ServerView Suite - Server Installation and Deployment).

5.3.1 Preparing for local installation

Connect the monitor, mouse, keyboard and a DVD drive to the port on the server blade control panel with the aid of the special Y cable. See "Connecting devices" on page 40.

I Make sure that the energy saving functions are disabled in the Power menu of the BIOS Setup during operation, and that the DVD drive has been activated as a boot medium.

5.3.2 Configuring the onboard SATA controller

A 6-port SATA controller is integrated on the system board. You can configure the onboard SATA controller either before or during installation with the ServerView Installation Manager. Using the ServerView Installation Manager is recommended.

BX922 S2 Operating Manual 49

Installation and operation Configuring the Server Blade

I The controller has its own configuration utility. For further information, refer to the “Embedded MegaRAID Software User’s Guide” (on the PRIMERGY ServerView Suite DVD 2 under Industry Standard Servers - Expansion Cards - Storage Adapters - LSI RAID / SCSI Controllers).

I Descriptions of operating systems not covered in the controller manual are provided in the corresponding readme files on the driver CDs.

5.3.3 Configuring the server and installing the operating system with the ServerView Installation Manager

Using the ServerView Installation Manager on the PRIMERGY ServerView Suite DVD 1 provided, you can conveniently configure the server and install the operating system. This includes configuring the server-specific settings using the ServerView Configuration Manager and configuring the RAID controller using the ServerView RAID Manager.

Advantages of the ServerView Installation Manager

– Wizard assisted configuration of your server hardware and disk arrays

– Wizard assisted installation of all leading server operating systems

– Wizard-assisted creation of configuration files for unattended installation of several PRIMERGY servers with identical hardware configurations.

– Installation of drivers and additional software.

I The software that can be installed depends on your server’s hardware configuration. This configuration is detected automatically.

I Descriptions of operating systems not covered in the RAID controller manual are provided in the corresponding readme files on the driver CDs.

To find out how to operate the ServerView Installation Manager and for further information, refer to the associated manual.

If you are using the ServerView Installation Manager, you can skip the following section on how to configure the server and install the operating system. Continue from section "Cleaning the Server Blade" on page 51.

Ê Set the brightness control on the monitor to light. For detailed information, refer to the operating manual supplied with your monitor.

Power cable or monitor cable not connected

Ê Switch off the monitor and the server.

Ê Check whether the power cable is properly connected to the monitor and to the grounded socket.

Ê Check whether the monitor cable is properly connected to the server and monitor (if it is plugged in with a connector). If a separate graphics card is installed in the server, then the monitor cable must be connected to the graphics card.

Ê Switch on the monitor and the server.

8.3 Flickering stripes on monitor screen1

V CAUTION!

Switch off the server immediately. Risk of damaging the server.

Monitor does not support the set horizontal frequency

Ê Find out which horizontal frequency your monitor screen supports. You will find the horizontal frequency (also known as line frequency or horizontal deflection frequency) in the documentation for your monitor.

Ê Refer to the documentation for your operating system or the software for the screen controller for details of how to set the correct horizontal frequency for your monitor, and follow the procedure accordingly.

1 In the case of a monitor connected locally via the Y cable, see "Connecting devices" on page 40.

BX922 S2 Operating Manual 87

Troubleshooting and tips No screen display or display drifts

8.4 No screen display or display drifts1

The wrong horizontal frequency or resolution has been selected for the monitor or for the application program.
