The Fujitsu ETERNUS DX JX40 is a Direct Attached Storage (DAS) subsystem designed for Fujitsu PRIMERGY servers, offering a significant expansion of storage capacity up to 144 TB. It is ideal for small to medium businesses or branch offices needing reliable, easy-to-manage storage for non-critical data like file services. While it provides robust connectivity and hot-swappable components for reliability, its direct-attached nature means it's primarily suited for environments with a limited number of servers.

Direct Attached Storage (DAS) is storage that is directly connected to a single server, unlike network-attached storage (NAS) or storage area networks (SAN) which are accessible by multiple devices over a network.
The ETERNUS JX40 supports a mix of 2.5-inch SAS and SATA hard disk drives, allowing you to combine high performance with high capacity.
Yes, the ETERNUS JX40 features hot-swappable drive bays, meaning you can replace drives and power supply modules without shutting down the server or the storage subsystem.
The ETERNUS JX40 can expand storage capacity by up to 144 Terabytes (TB).
Drive extension and management are handled by the connected PRIMERGY server, typically through its SAS RAID controller and can be integrated with Fujitsu's ServerView Suite management software.
The noise level is rated at 43.5 dB.
The ETERNUS JX40 supports RAID levels 0, 1, 1+0, 5, 5+0, 6, 6+0, and 1E, managed by the server's RAID controller.
Ensure the drive is properly seated in the hot-swap bay. Check SAS cable connections to both the server and the drive backplane. Verify the drive is compatible and functional using another system if possible. Check server's RAID controller utility for drive status.
Consult the ETERNUS JX40 documentation for the specific LED code or alert message. Identify the affected component (e.g., power supply, fan, drive) and follow hot-swap procedures if applicable for replacement. Check ServerView Suite for detailed error logs.
Verify that the SAS connection is running at its full 6 Gbit/s speed. Check the server's RAID configuration; ensure the RAID level is appropriate for the workload. Monitor server and JX40 resource utilization. Ensure the connected server is not a bottleneck.
The subsystem supports redundant power supplies. If one fails, the other will take over. Follow the hot-swap procedure to safely remove and replace the failed module while the system remains operational.
Setup: The ETERNUS JX40 is designed for direct attachment to certified Fujitsu PRIMERGY servers. Installation involves physically connecting the JX40 to the server using SAS cables and ensuring it is powered on. Drive installation is straightforward due to the 2.5-inch form factor and hot-swap bays. The storage is then managed and configured through the PRIMERGY server's operating system and its integrated SAS RAID controller, potentially via the Fujitsu ServerView Suite.
Compatibility: This storage subsystem is specifically optimized for Intel-based Fujitsu PRIMERGY servers. It uses standardized 2.5-inch SAS and SATA drives, ensuring compatibility with drives commonly used in PRIMERGY systems. Ensure your PRIMERGY server has the necessary SAS host bus adapter (HBA) or RAID controller with external ports to connect to the JX40.
Care: As the drives and power supply modules are hot-swappable, regular maintenance can be performed without downtime. Regularly check the LED indicators for any warnings or errors. Keep the operating environment within the specified temperature range (0-40 °C) and relative humidity (0-80%). Ensure proper ventilation around the unit and the connected server. When replacing a drive or power supply, follow the system's documented procedure to avoid data loss or system instability.
