Introduction

The connection blades aresupport hot-swapping. By installing two connection
blades in two adjacent slots (not possible with Infiniband connection blades),
you can provide redundant network connections for the server blades (for
details, see section "Connection blades" on page 92).

Management blade

The system unit has slots for two redundant, hot-swap management blades with
an integrated management solution for complete remote administration of the
system. The base configuration of the system unit contains one management
blade (for details, see section "Management blades" on page 131).

Power supply

The system unit has four installation bays for hot-plug power supply units which
automatically set themselves to a voltage in the range of 100 - 120 V / 200 - 240
V. The base configuration includes one power supply unit. As an option, you can
set up a redundant power supply with up to three additional power supply units.
If a power supply unit fails, the redundant configuration assures continued
operation. The defective power supply unit can be replaced during operation
(for further details see section "Hot-plug power supply units" on page 132).

Cooling

Cooling of the system is ensured by two fans in each power supply unit and by
the fan modules. Each of the fan units contains 2 fans. The fan modules have
the same aspect ratio as the power supply units. Empty power supply
installation bays must be fitted with fan modules. The configuration is redundant
and offers hot-swap functionality (for more information, see "Hot-plug power

supply units" on page 132).

High level of availability and failure protection

ASR&R (Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart) restarts the system in
the event of an error and automatically "hides" the defective system
components.

The PDA (Prefailure Detection and Analyzing) technology from Fujitsu
Technology Solutions analyzes and monitors all components that are critical for
system reliability.

The hot-swap components provide additional failure protection. Failure
protection for the entire system is ensured by four redundant hot-swap power
supply units as well as redundant hot-swap fans.

BX400 S1 Operating Manual 21

Introduction

Server management

Server management is implemented using the ServerView Operations Manager
supplied and the PDA (Prefailure Detection and Analysis) technology from
Fujitsu. PDA reports the threat of a system error or overload at an early stage,
allowing preventive measures to be taken.

The ServerView Operations Manager enables the management of all
PRIMERGY servers in the network via a central console. The ServerView
Operations Manager supports the following functions:

● Round-the-clock monitoring, regardless of server status

● High-performance, graphical console bypass (AVR) protected by

HTTPS/SSL (128 bit)

● Remote storage via USB

● Remote power on

Service and support

PRIMERGY servers are easy to maintain and modular, thus enabling quick and
simple maintenance.

The handles and locks (touch points) on the various hot pluggable components
are colored green to ensure simple and immediate recognition.

In order to prevent the components from being damaged by incorrect handling
when they are being installed and removed, the areas of all components that
can be touched without damaging them are also marked green.
