Safety instructions Before starting up CAUTION! During installation and before operating the device, observe the instructions on environmental conditions for your device. If the device is brought in from a cold environment, condensation may form both inside and on the outside of the device. Wait until the device has acclimatized to room temperature and is absolutely dry before starting it up.
Page 19
Safety instructions CAUTION! Ensure that the power sockets on the device and the properly grounded power outlets are freely accessible. The On/Off button or the main power switch (if present) does not isolate the device from the mains power supply. To disconnect it completely from the mains power supply, unplug all network power plugs from the properly grounded power outlets.
Page 20
Safety instructions CAUTION! Proper operation of the system (in accordance with IEC 60950-1/2 resp. EN 60950-1/2) is only ensured if the casing is completely assembled and the rear covers for the installation slots have been fitted (electric shock, cooling, fire protection, interference suppression).
Page 21
Safety instructions CAUTION! Install the screw removed during installation/detaching Internal Options in former device/position. To use a screw of the different kind causes a breakdown of equipment. The installation indicated on this note is sometimes changed to the kind of possible options without notice. Batteries CAUTION! Incorrect replacement of batteries may result in a risk of explosion.
Page 22
Safety instructions Working with CDs/DVDs/BDs and optical drives When working with devices with optical drives, these instructions must be followed. CAUTION! Only use CDs/DVDs/BDs that are in perfect condition, in order to prevent data loss, equipment damage and injury. Check each CD/DVD/BD for damage, cracks, breakages etc. before inserting it in the drive.
Page 23
Safety instructions Do not contaminate the CD/DVD/BD surface with fingerprints, oil, dust, etc. If dirty, clean with a soft, dry cloth, wiping from the center to the edge. Do not use benzene, thinners, water, record sprays, antistatic agents, or silicone-impregnated cloth. Be careful not to damage the CD/DVD/BD surface.

Main memory CAUTION! Before installing/removing memory to/from the server, turn off the server, all peripheral devices, and any other connected devices. Also unplug all power cords from the power outlet. Failure to do so can cause electric shock. A memory module consists of parts that are very vulnerable to damage by static electricity, and can easily be damaged by static electricity in the human body .
The types of memory modules and the modes of operati o n are described in the Technical Manual or in the configurator of the server. The current configurator can be found under: http://ts.fujitsu.com/products/standard_servers/rack/primergy_rx200s6.html (for the EMEA market) (for the Japanese http://primeserver.fujitsu.com/primergy/system.html...
Main memory – In the case of same number of ranks install the memory module with the highest capacity into the slot with lowest number (e.g. 8GB 2Rx4 modules (DIMM-1A) before 4GB 2Rx4 modules (DIMM-2A)). – In Mirrored Channel Mode and in Spare Channel Mode, memory modules of different capacities may be mixed on a bank by bank basis.

Processors CAUTION! Before installing/removing processors to/from the server, turn off the server, all peripheral devices, and any other connected devices. Also unplug all power cords from the power outlet. Failure to do so can cause electric shock. Do not touch the circuitry on boards and soldered parts. Hold the metallic areas or the edge of the circuit boards.
Processors Installing a second processor The system board can be upgraded with a second processor. The upgrade kit consists of a processor and a heat sink. CAUTION! Only processors of the same type may be used on the system board. That means the number of the internal processor cores as well as the primary clock and the FSB frequency have to be the same.
Page 37
Processors Figure 9: Inserting and locking the processor Ê Hold the processor between your thumb and index finger and align it at the socket coding (see circle). CAUTION! The processor can only be installed in one particular direction. Ê Place the processor in the socket with great care (1). CAUTION! Do not bend the spring contacts of the processor socket.
