RX600 S5 Operating Manual 11
1 Preface
The scalable PRIMERGY RX600 S5 server is an Intel-based rack server for
critical company scenarios, e.g. as database management system for medium
or large-sized databases or as a consolidation basis to run an immensely large
number of different applications using virtualization technologies.
Thanks to its highly developed hardware and software components, the server
offers a high level of data security and availability. These include hot-plug HDD
modules, hot-plug system fans, and also hot-plug power supply units, the
Server Management ServerView Suite, Prefailure Detection and Analysis (PDA)
and Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart (ASR&R).
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
lockable rack door.
The server occupies 4 height units (HU) in the rack.
