Preface
The PRIMERGY TX300 S4 server is an Intel-based server for mid-size and
large companies. The server is suitable for use as a file server and also as an
application, information or Internet server. It is available as a floorstand or rack
model. The floorstand model can be converted to a rack model using an optional
conversion kit.
Thanks to its highly developed hardware and software components, the
PRIMERGY TX300 S4 server offers a high level of data security and availability.
These components include hot-plug HDD modules and hot-plug power supply
units, redundant system fans, and also the Server Management ServerView
Suite, Prefailure Detection and Analysis (PDA) and Automatic Server Reconfig-
uration and Restart (ASR&R).
Security functions in the BIOS-Setup and on the system board protect the data
on the server against manipulation. Additional security is provided by the
intrusion detection and the lockable drive cover on the floorstand model and the
lockable rack door.
The rack model occupies 4 height units in the rack.
