5 Basic software procedures
5.1 Validation
Depending on your server and the installed features some information isnot valid for your server.
5.2 Starting the maintenance task
5.2.1 Suspending BitLocker functionality
BitLocker Drive Encryption provides protection for OS and data drives byencrypting the contents and requiring users to authenticate their credentials toaccess the information. In the scenario described here, BitLocker uses thecompatible Trusted Platform Module (TPM) to detect if the computer's startupprocess has been modified from its original state.
For more information on how to use BitLocker on a computer without acompatible TPM, see the "BitLocker Drive Encryption" documentationpage at:https://technet.microsoft.com/library/cc731549.aspx
Suspending BitLocker Drive Encryption is a temporary method for removingBitLocker protection without decrypting the drive Windows is installed on.Suspend BitLocker before modifying the server’s hardware configuration orstartup files. Resume BitLocker again after the maintenance procedure iscomplete.
RX2540 M6 Upgrade and Maintenance Manual 87
CAUTION● With BitLocker features enabled, modifying the system configuration
(hardware or firmware settings) may render the system inaccessible.The system may enter Recovery Mode and require a 48-digitsrecovery password to return to normal operation. Ensure that yoususpend BitLocker drive encryption before maintaining the server.
● When suspended, BitLocker uses a plain text key instead of theTrusted Platform Module (TPM) to read encrypted files. Keep in mindthat information on this drive is not secure until BitLocker has beenre-enabled.
▶ Ask the system administrator to suspend BitLocker-protection on the systemvolume, using the BitLocker Drive Encryption control panel item.
This will temporarily disable BitLocker for maintenance purposes. Thevolume will not be decrypted and no keys will be discarded.
▶ Click Start - Control Panel - System and Security - BitLocker DriveEncryption to open the BitLocker Drive Encryption.
▶ Select the system volume, and click Suspend Protection.
▶ Click Yes to confirm that your data will not be protected while BitLocker issuspended.
In order to determine which features are accessible through theBitLocker setup wizard, it may be necessary to modify the BitLockerGroup Policy settings.

8.1 Safety notes
CAUTION▶ Do not damage or modify internal cables or devices. Doing so may
cause a device failure, fire, or electric shock.▶ Devices and components inside the server remain hot after
shutdown. After shutting down the server, wait for hot componentsto cool down before installing or removing internal options.
▶ Circuit boards and soldered parts of internal options are exposedand can be damaged by static electricity. Always discharge staticbuild-up (e.g. by touching a grounded object) before handlingelectrostatic-sensitive devices (ESDs).
▶ Do not touch the circuitry on boards or soldered parts. Hold circuitboards by their metallic areas or edges.
▶ If devices are installed or disassembled using methods other thanthose outlined in this chapter, the warranty will be invalidated.
▶ The procedure of installation on this notes might change dependingon a configuration of options.
▶ For more information, see "Important information" on page 35.
8.2 Basic information
Base units are supplied with three hot-plug fan modules (1 CPU configuration)or six hot-plug fan modules (2 CPU configuration).Base units with three fan modules operate in a 1 of 3 redundancy, base unitswith six fan modules operate in a 1 of 6 redundancy. In other words, if one ofthe three or six fan modules fails, the system will operate without any problem.The failed fan module can be exchanged without shutting down the server (hot-plug).There are dual rotor fan types installed.
RX2540 M6 Upgrade and Maintenance Manual 227
Fan type (FJ P/N: CA05950-2152) is a dual rotor fan. In the systeminformation (Chassis ID EPROM) the term "Dual Fan" is used in systemnames.
CAUTIONDepending on the configuration, different fan types are necessary!▶ Please check, if you ordered the correct fans.

For system relevant information, see the hardware configurator of yourserver available online at the following address:http://ts.fujitsu.com/products/standard_servers/index.htmFor Japan:http://www.fujitsu.com/jp/products/computing/servers/primergy/
Optane PMem module features
– The Optane PMem modules are displayed as “NVM / LRDIMM”, accordingto the JEDEC specification. This occurs for example with the iRMC webinterface, when SPD data are retrieved.
– Supports Optane PMem module sizes of 128 GB, 256 GB, and 512 GB
– Supports Double Device Data Correction (DDDC)
– Supports DDR4 speeds of 2400/2666/2933/3200 MT/s
Main memory
RX2540 M6 Upgrade and Maintenance Manual 331
For Optane PMem modules, the following two modes are available:
● App Direct mode
● DDR4 DIMM operates as main memory
● Optane PMem module operates as non-volatile memory or storagedevice
● Memory mode
● DDR4 DIMM operates as cache
● Optane PMem module operates as main memory
App Direct mode and Memory mode can be used simultaneously.
10.2.2 General memory population rules
– Non-ECC DIMMs are not supported on this platform.
– All DIMMs must be either all DDR4 DIMMs and/or DDR4 DIMMs andOptane PMem modules.
– Mixing of LRDIMM with RDIMM type is not allowed per platform (i.e. thesame channel, across different channels, and across different sockets).
– Mixing of non-3DS and 3DS RDIMMs is not allowed in platform.
– Mixing of Optane PMem modules with RDIMMs or with LRDIMMs issupported.
– DIMMs with different frequencies can be mixed in the system, but lowestfrequency determines the system memory speed.
– There should be at least one DDR4 DIMM per CPU socket.
– If only one DIMM is populated in a channel, then populate it in the slotfurthest away from CPU (i.e. the black slot).
– Mixing Optane PMem capacities or generations or DDR4 capacities andtypes within a socket or across sockets is not supported for Optane PMemconfigurations.
– When different rank DIMMs are populated for 2DPC, always populate thehigher number rank DIMM first (starting from the black slot), for example,first octal rank, then quad rank, then dual rank, and last single rank DIMM.
Main memory
332 Upgrade and Maintenance Manual RX2540 M6
10.2.3 DDR4 only - memory population rules
– Unbalanced configurations can lead to significantly reduced bandwidthbecause the system will fracture the memory space into multiple regions.
– If two DIMM with different capacity are installed in one channel, the one withhigher capacity has to be placed in slot 1 of a channel. E.g. 1A, 1B, ….
– Rank sparing mode is not supported.

CAUTIONCPUs are extremely sensitive to electrostatic discharge and thereforemust always be handled with care.▶ After a CPU has been removed from its protective sleeve or from its
socket, place it upside down on a nonconducting, antistatic surface.▶ Never push a CPU over a surface.

Applying the thermal paste to the heat sink surface
For Japan, the service engineer must follow the instruction providedseparately.
If the CPU upgrade or replacement kit contains a new heat sink, a thinlayer of thermal compound has already been pre-applied to its lowersurface. In this case, it isn’t necessary to apply thermal paste to the heatsink lower surface.
Figure 235: Thermal paste syringe
One thermal compound syringe (FSP:P304000004) contains thermal paste forthree CPUs.In order to determine the correct amount of thermal paste (equal to 1.0 gram),divide the grey area of the syringe up into three equal segments.
Add graduation marks to the syringe using a permanent marker to helpyou apply the thermal paste.

14.1 Safety notes
CAUTION▶ When inserting the COP (Common Operation Panel) into the
server, ensure not to pinch or strain any connected cables.▶ Circuit boards and soldered parts of internal options are exposed
and can be damaged by static electricity. Always discharge staticbuild-up (e.g. by touching a grounded object) before handlingelectrostatic-sensitive devices (ESDs).
▶ Do not touch the circuitry on boards or soldered parts. Hold circuitboards by their metallic areas or edges.
▶ For more information, see "Important information" on page 35.
14.2 Basic information
In case of a defective ambient temperature sensor, please replace CommonOperation panel (COP).
COP
The COP is mounted on the right side ear. A flat cable is used for connection tothe system board.
Front VGA (option)
A front VGA connector can be installed at the front panel of someconfigurations.

Field Replaceable Unit(FRU)
Hardware: 10 minutesSoftware: 5 minutes
Tools: – Phillips PH2 / (+) No. 2 screw driver (for cover 2)
– Phillips PH1 / (+) No. 1 screw driver (for COP)
Note on system information backup/restoreThe COP contains the Chassis ID EPROM that contains system informationlike server name and model, housing type, serial number and manufacturingdata. To avoid the loss of non-default settings when replacing the systemboard, a backup copy of important system configuration data is automaticallystored from the system board NVRAM to the Chassis ID EPROM.
CAUTIONFor that reason the COP and the system board must not be replacedsimultaneously! In this case, restoring the system configuration data onthe system board would fail.▶ Reconfigure the BIOS/iRMC and restore the system information like
server name, server model, housing type, serial number andmanufacturing data manually by Chassis ID Prom Tool.

Note on BIOS or iRMC S5 firmware restore feature
BIOS or iRMC S5 firmware restore feature is executed at the same timeas the power cord is connected after the system board replacement.Depending on the configuration of your server the firmware restorerequires different time, see "States of power-on indicator and time duration during firmware restore" on page 552:9 - 23 minutes (systems without PFR feature),18 - 38 minutes (systems with PFR feature).Do not perform the following operations after connecting the power cord.Please wait for the above time to elapse.
– Remove and reinsert the power cord
– Power button on/off
– Connecting and disconnecting other cables, etc.
For more information, see "Concluding steps" on page 529.
Note on MicroSD card
The MicroSD card on the system board contains the BIOS/iRMCfirmware that is running.After replacing the system board, the operating version number will berestored based on this information. Do not replace the system board andthe MicroSD card at the same time.
Note on TPM
The system board can be equipped with an optional TPM. This moduleenables third party programs to store key information (e. g. driveencryption using Windows Bitlocker Drive Encryption).If the customer is using TPM functionality, the TPM has to be removedfrom the defective system board and connected to the new systemboard. For more information, see "Replacing the TPM" on page 488.The TPM has to be enabled in the system BIOS.
System board and components
RX2540 M6 Upgrade and Maintenance Manual 521
CAUTION▶ Before replacing the system board, ask the customer whether TPM
functionality is used.▶ If the customer is using TPM functionality, remove the TPM from
the old system board and install it on the new system board.▶ Advise your contact persons that they must provide you with all
recovery keys which belong to the system to restore them in theTPM later.
Note on system information backup/restore
The front panel (front panel module, front panel board or front panel on QRL)contains the Chassis ID EPROM that contains system information like servername and model, housing type, serial number and manufacturing data. Toavoid the loss of non-default settings when replacing the system board, abackup copy of important system configuration data is automatically storedfrom the system board NVRAM to the Chassis ID EPROM.
CAUTIONFor that reason the front panel and system board must not be replacedsimultaneously! In this case, restoring the system configuration data onthe system board would fail.
After replacing the system board the backup data is restored from the ChassisID board to the new system board.
Note on configurations with Optane PMem modules (displayed as NVM/LRDIMM)
After replacing the system board, it is necessary to set the memoryoperation mode in the BIOS in the same way as before. However, thisstep is not required if Optane PMems are installed to the same slots asthe previous slots. Ensure to note down your current BIOS settingsbefore replacing the system board in case Optane PMems are installedto the different slot.
