  • Page 10 Features Introduction The server can optionally be upgraded with a SATA backplane. The SATA hard disk drive modules then have a wireless connection via the SATA interface. This allows hard disk drive modules to be easily plugged in or removed. If the server has a corresponding RAID configuration, defective HDD modules can also be replaced during operation.
  • Page 11 Server management is implemented using the ServerView software supplied combined with PDA (Prefailure Detection and Analyzing) technology from Fujitsu Siemens. PDA reports the threat of a system error or overload at an early stage, allowing preventive measures to be taken.
  • Page 12 With the iRMC (integrated Remote Management Controller) on the system board and the optional remote testing and diagnostic system RemoteView, the PRIMERGY RX100 S4 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.
