Chapter1 Overview
1.1 RX300 S2
This server has the following features.
■ High Reliability
● Advanced Memory Protection Function
The server supports the Chipkill function using PC2-3200-compliant memory (DDR2 SDRAM) and the
spare memory function (depending on the memory configuration) to enable data recovery in the event of
a memory error.
● Disk Array System Configuration
A disk array system (RAID0/1/5/10) can be configured using the onboard SCSI array controller
(installed as standard).
● Redundant Function
The hard disk units, power supply units, and system fans support the redundant function.
When the onboard SCSI array controller is used, a failed hard disk unit can be replaced or repaired
without turning off the server and peripheral devices (a hot plug is supported in configurations other than
RAID0).
Adding an optional power supply unit enables the redundant function.
● PHP (PCI Host Plug) Function Support
An expansion card can be replaced without turning off the server and peripheral devices when the
expansion card fails (PCI slots 4 and 5 only in Windows Server 2003).
● Hardware and Software Designed for Data Security
The locks on the rack and security (password) setting in the BIOS Setup Utility protect hardware and
data assets in the server against theft, ensuring data security with high reliability.
● Proactive Fan Function
When a fan fails or the ambient temperature rises, the system fan speed is increased automatically to
avoid increase in temperature in the server, ensuring stable server operation.
● High Reliability Tools
High reliability tools offer stable system operation. For information about high reliability tools, refer to
"1.2.2 High Reliability Tools" (
pg.19).
