RX600 S6 Operating Manual 15
Preface
System board
The features of the system board are described in the "System Board D3141 for
PRIMERGY RX600 S6 Technical Manual" for the hardware and in the "System
Board D3141 BIOS Setup Utility for PRIMERGY RX600 S6" manual for the
firmware.
Hot-plug PCI slots
The server has ten PCI-Express slots, where two of them are hot-plug slots.
These hot-plug PCI-Express slots allow installation and removal of boards
during operation when the operating system supports this function (for further
details see section "Hot-plug expansion cards" on page 101).
Hard disk drives
The server can be equipped with up to 8 HDD/SSD modules. Each HDD/SSD
module can accommodate an HDD/SSD drive with a 2.5-inch format. The
modules are connected to the SAS/SATA backplane wirelessly. This allows
HDD/SSD modules to be plugged in or pulled out easily.
The hard disk system is designed for SAS/SATA with one channel for each hard
disk drive.
If the server has the corresponding RAID configuration, HDD/SSD modules can
also be replaced during operation.
SAS/SATA controller card (optionally with RAID controller)
The SAS/SATA controller card for operating up to eight SAS/SATA hard disk
drives can be alternately without or with RAID functionality. In case of RAID
functionality the levels 0, 1, 1E, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 are supported.
Battery Backup Units
Up to two intelligent Battery Backup Units (iBBUs) back up the memory contents
of their corresponding RAID controllers in the event of power failure (option).
Accessible drives/components
A number of mounting locations are available:
– An installation slot for a ServerView Local Service Display (standard)
– An installation slot for a slimline DVD/BD drive (option)
– A 5.25-inch bay for a magnetic tape drive (option)
