Product Description
The FUJITSU Server PRIMERGY RX2540 M1
sets higher standards for usability, scalability
and cost-efficiency. It is a 2U dual-socket rack
server ideal for running enterprise applications,
collaboration and messaging workloads as well
as traditional databases. Plus, it substantially
simplifies carrying out infrastructure-related tasks
like server virtualization and consolidation. As one
of the key innovations, versatile performance is
guaranteed by a new generation of processors.
The PRIMERGY RX2540 M1 can be equipped
with two of the latest Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 v3
processors with up to 36 cores. Along with new
DDR4 memory technology it boosts application
performance to be able to cope with the increasing
data growth and shortens time to business results.
The modular design of the server offers high storage
density, DynamicLoM technology, up to 8 PCIe Gen 3 I/O expansion
slots. The new DynamicLoM technology offers
users the ability to individually adapt the current
server network as well as the ability to change
and thus meet future requirements without giving
the server infrastructure a general overhaul. The
PRIMERGY RX2540 M1 comes with 2 redundant
hot-plug power supply units, offering up to 96%
energy efficiency. The Cool-safe® Advanced
Thermal Design allows for operation in ambient
temperatures of up to 40 °C/104 °F. Both these
features in line help to reduce operational
expenses.

Config Notes
- Kdump: the crash kernel reserved memory parameters were changed based on the content in the following knowledge-base article: http://www.novell.com/support/kb/doc.php?id=3374462.
- Power management: The System/Processor dynamic CPU frequency scaling functionality in SLES is not supported on POWER9 with PowerVM as this functionality is provided by the POWER9 with PowerVM hardware its-self.
- Headless configuration - no graphics adapter. System configured using IBM remote Hardware Management Console (HMC) for graphics, keyboard and mouse.
- Install: The SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server install was performed using a network install method.
- Latest maintenance kernel 4.4.114-94.14-default.ppc64le is installed for basic POWER9 support from https://download.suse.com/Download?buildid=MiaxOdQDFSA~
