TX300 S5 Operating manual 7
1 Preface
With top dual processor performance, the PRIMERGY TX300 S5 tower server
is an all-purpose server for medium sized companies and branches of large
enterprises. The system is ideal for use as a versatile business server for
business critical applications and dedicated tasks. Thanks to internal SAS/SATA
hard disk capacity of up to 6 or 8 TB, the PRIMERGY TX300 S5 is also suitable
for use as a platform for highly data intensive solutions. Furthermore, it is the
ideal solution for smaller mySAP installations and directory or cache services in
medium sized and large companies.
The PRIMERGY TX300 S5 offers a balanced architecture that incorporates
next generation main memory (DDR3) and I/O technologies (PCIe Gen2). The
HDD backplane is already provided for SAS 2.0 and 6 Gbit/s SAS and the
chipset prepared for the next generation of 6-core processors. High perfor-
mance, scalability, impressive reliability and excellent extension options are
combined in a powerful design.
The Cool-safe™ cooling concept with improved air flow cooling technology
(comb design) ensures the highest possible performance of the processors at
work; at the same time, the system is extremely reliable thanks to the reduced
heat dissipation.
The new PRIMERGY TX300 S5 can also be converted quickly and easily into a
space-saving rack system that only takes up 4 height units (HU).
