– You must also create a backup of the TPM content. To do this, follow
the third party manufacturer 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.
22 Operating Manual TX2550 M5
Product description
Power supply unit (PSU)
The server can be equipped with:
– with up to two AC PSUs
In its basic configuration, the server has one PSU that adjusts automatically
to any power voltage in the range from 100 V to 240 V (Platinum) or 200 V
to 240 V (Titanium). Besides the PSU, a second PSU can be installed
optionally to serve as a redundant power supply. If one PSU fails, the second
PSU in the redundant configuration ensures operation can continue
uninterrupted and the defective PSU can be replaced during operation (hot-
plug).
Advanced Thermal Design (ATD)
The ATD option allows you to operate the system with a wider temperature
range either of 5 °C to 40 °C or 5 °C to 45 °C, depending on your system and
configuration.
VCAUTION
In a system that is configured with ATD, only certain components which
support the respectively increased higher operating temperature range
may be installed and used. For applicable restrictions, see the official
configurator tool.
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.
Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart (ASR&R) restarts the system in
the event of an error and automatically "hides" the defective system
components.
The Prefailure Detection and Analysis (PDA) technology from Fujitsu analyzes
and monitors all components that are critical for system reliability.
This option can only be ordered from the
manufacturer and is indicated by the respective
logo on the identification rating plate.
TX2550 M5 Operating Manual 23

Product description
ServerView Installation Manager
You can configure the PRIMERGY server quickly and precisely with the
ServerView Installation Manager software provided. User-guided menus are
available for installing the server operating system (for more information, see
section "Notes on configuring controllers" on page 75).
Service and support
PRIMERGY servers are easy to maintain and modular, thus enables quick and
simple maintenance.
The handles and locks (touch points) used to exchange components are
colored green to ensure simple and immediate recognition.
In order to prevent the components from being damaged by incorrect handling
when they are being installed and removed, the areas of all components that
can be touched without damaging them are also marked green.
PRIMERGY diagnostic LEDs fitted on the system board indicate which
component (memory module, CPU, fan or expansion card) is not functioning
properly.
The Flash EPROM program supplied with the Fujitsu utilities supports a fast
BIOS update.
With the iRMC on the system board, the 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.
ServerView Remote Management
ServerView Remote Management is the remote management solution from
Fujitsu for PRIMERGY servers. ServerView Remote Management and the
relevant hardware components integrated on the system board allow remote
monitoring and maintenance as well as fast restoration of operation in the event
of errors.
Remote monitoring and maintenance avoids time-consuming and costly on-site
repairs and reduces service costs. This leads to a reduction in the total cost of
ownership and an excellent return on investment for the remote management
solution.
26 Operating Manual TX2550 M5
Product description
The administrator can access all system information and information from the
