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

VMware Cloud 1.2 was used to perform this system testing.
System cerification testing was performed with a SLES 12 SP3 64-bit virtual machine installed on UEFI firmware with Secure Boot enabled and configured with up to 128 CPUs and 6128 GB of memory.
VMware guest OS installation information can be found at: http://partnerweb.vmware.com/GOSIG/SLE_12.html.
VMware recommends using the Open VM Tools redistributed by operating system vendors. For additional information, see knowledge base article 2073803 at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2073803.
VMware recommends using the paravirtual drivers contributed upstream and redistributed by operating system vendors . For additional information, see knowledge base article 2073804 at https://kb.vmware.com/kb/2073804.
The VMware Memory Ballooning driver included in SLES 12 SP3 is auto loaded to improve the virtual machine memory performance.
