Do not touch any connectors or conduction paths on an ESD. Place all the components on a pad which is free of electrostatic charge. For a detailed description of how to handle ESD components, see the relevant European or international standards (EN 61340-5-1, ANSI/ESD S20.20). Technical Manual D2870 (RX600 S5)
The board complies with the requirements of the EC directives 2004/108/EC regarding “Electromagnetic Compatibility” and 2006/95/EC “Low Voltage Directive”. This is indicated by the CE marking (CE = Communauté Européenne). Compliance was tested in a typical PRIMERGY configuration. Technical Manual D2870 (RX600 S5)
Environmental protection Environmental protection Environmentally-friendly product design and development This product has been designed in accordance with the Fujitsu standard for "environmentally friendly product design and development". This means that key factors such as durability, selection and labeling of materials, emissions, packaging, ease of dismantling and recycling have been taken into account.

Features Overview – If a failure occurs, please inform your service about the TPM activation before it takes any action, and be prepared to provide them with your backup copies of the TPM content. Technical Manual D2870 (RX600 S5)
The following figure shows the DIMM slot assignment of the memory riser board. Figure 2: DIMM slot assignment of memory riser board Installing and removing memory boards and DIMMs is described in the operating manual for your server. Technical Manual D2870 (RX600 S5)
Page 23
Each BOB controls two memory channels (e.g. A, B or C,D). For performance reasons two channels of different BOBs are used in parallel to access the DIMMs. The DIMMS that are locked together this way as pairs are called ’lockstep pairs’. Technical Manual D2870 (RX600 S5)
3. Continue with DIMM slots 2B and 2D. 4. Finally fill DIMM slots 2A and 2C. The fitting rules are also illustrated on the sticker on every memory board: Figure 4: Sticker with graphical fitting instructions on every memory board Technical Manual D2870 (RX600 S5)
– Mirroring mode – Hemisphere mode After installing the DIMMs the necessary specific settings have to be done within the BIOS of the server. See the "D2870 BIOS Setup Utility for PRIMERGY RX600 S5" manual for detailed information. Spare mode In spare mode, one pair of DIMMs will be spare for the other pairs.

This type is only possible with 4 CPUs and requires 2 memory boards per CPU. The data are distributed over the Mboxes of four CPUs (see figure 11 on page 31). Therefore, this type is called "Inter Socket Interleaving". Technical Manual D2870 (RX600 S5)
