No compromise tower server The new PRIMERGY TX300 S5 offers maximum levels of availability and expandability. It has powerful performance features as supplied by the leading Intel® Dual, Quad or Turbo Quad-Core Xeon® CPUs in the 5500 series which are integrated in a powerful set up with an 8-port SAS controller as well as fast PCIe Gen2 connections in the new PRIMERGY design. Continuity is ensured as a result of the modular RAID, redundant Dual LAN features and optional redundant hot-plug power supply and fans. The "Cool-safe™" design methodology ensures maximum performance together with highest reliability and efficiency. Innovative features such as the new honeycomb design ensures optimal temperatures despite peak workloads and thus ensures long-life. Optimal performance and high energy efficiency is ensured in connection with EPA-compliant power supply (89% energy efficiency), a nearly ‘cable-less’ motherboard and new power management features. The PRIMERGY TX300 S5 is exactly the right platform for business-critical remote sites.
