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
- Install: System installed using an external USB DVD drive; the OS was installed from DVD using the UEFI boot loader and elilo system configuration.
- SUSE SolidDriver Compliant: The be2net network driver used during testing was installed from a kmp rpm contained on the following driver update disk (DUD): elx-be2net_10.0.727.54-be2iscsi_10.0.727.62-lpfc_10.0.727.20-sles11sp3-1.iso, kmp rpm file name: elx-be2net-kmp-xen-10.0.727.54_3.0.76_0.11-1.1.x86_64.rpm. This kmp rpm should be downloaded and installed after the SLES Xen install. To obtain the driver go to: http://drivers.suse.com/driver-process/pub/update/Emulex/sle11sp3/common/DUD/dud_lpfc_10.0.727.20_be2net_10.0.727.54_be2iscsi_10.0.727.62/ and extract from the iso image.
- Kdump: Crash kernel dump and capture does not function properly on this system due to the Emulex network adapter, and is therefore not supported.
- VM Driver Pack: All FV guests were tested with PV drivers installed. The SLES 11 SP3 drivers are included with the OS. The Windows 2012 R2 drivers are available from http://download.novell.com (VMDP-WIN-2.1.exe).
- Xen Hypervisor: the hypervisor was booted with following additional parameters: dom0_mem=10G dom0_max_vcpus=10.
- Maintenance update: SLES 11 SP3 Xen maintenance update 8588 and kernel update 8827 (x86-64) are required and were installed during certification testing.
