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

4.5.1 Cable routing
The cables are routed along the support uprights of the rack.
4.6 Connecting the system unit to the mains
The system unit has four bays for hot-swap power supply units. In the base
configuration, it is fitted with one power supply unit.
V CAUTION!
● Read the information on determining how many power supply units
are required (see "Hot-plug power supply units" on page 132).
● The power supply units automatically adjust to a mains voltage
between 100 - 120 V / 200 - 240 V. The system unit may only be
used if the local mains voltage is within the voltage range of the
system.
● The 1600 W power supply units may only be connected to 16 A
power outlets, a UPS, a 32 A power distribution unit, or CEE sockets.
When ordering the system unit, you must specify which socket type
is available at the installation location, so that the cables with the
appropriate C19 connectors can be supplied.
– For the Japanese market:
The 1600W power supply units may only be connected to NEMA
L6-15, IEC 60320-C20, or NEMA 5-15 sockets.
● Always connect the cable first to the power supply unit and then to the
mains.
Ê First connect the insulated C19 connector of the power cable to the power
supply units of the system unit, and then plug the connector into the UPS,
power distribution unit or an external socket. The system can be configured
to support *True AC redundancy or non-AC redundancy.
I True AC redundancy is recommended for systems used for critical
business applications. This will result in the system to continue operation
during a power failure as the redundant part of the subsystem is plugged
into a separate AC source [e.g. uninterruptable power supply (UPS)).
I Refer to tables below for maximum DC loading for both AC redundant
and AC non redundant configurations.

V CAUTION!
● Make sure you observe the safety notes and the information on
handling electrostatic-sensitive devices in the section "Modules with
Electrostatic-Sensitive Devices" on page 38.
● Beware of the energy hazard at the midplane contacts. A short circuit
on these contacts may damage the system.
● The server blade boots automatically after installation in the
system unit.
When you install a server blade in an active system unit, the server
blade automatically performs a Power-On Self-Test (POST) and then
switches itself off.
If the system unit is switched off when you install the server blade, the
automatic POST is performed immediately after you switch on the
system unit.
● Any unused server blade slots must be fitted with dummy modules to
comply with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) regulations and to
ensure sufficient cooling of the system components.

8.2.2.1 Connection blade stacking
Up to 4 Connection Blades GbE Switch/IBP 36/8+2 can be operated together
to form a so-called stack. One of the connection blades takes on the role of the
master. This connection blade is used to administer all modules of the stack. All
modules of a stack act as one connection blade. In this way, connection blade
stacking offers a large number of ports with minimum administrative effort.
The connections within a stack are established through the stacking ports of the
connection blades. The internal stacking ports to the midplane of the system
unit are each used to connect two connection blades that are installed in the
same fabric, i.e. in two adjacent slots. Connection blades in different fabrics are
connected through the external ports using CX4 cables.
Figure 26: CX4 cable
The stacking connections within a stack must form a circuit. Connection blade
stacks can be formed within a system unit, across several system units of a rack
or across several system units in different racks.
Further information
You determine which connection blade takes on the master role through the
sequence and the intervals at which the connection blades are booted and
connected with each other. For more detailed information and additional
possible configurations, see the manuals "PRIMERGY BX900 Blade Server
Systems – Ethernet Connection Blade Module IBP Version – User’s Guide",
"PRIMERGY BX900 Blade Server Systems – Ethernet Connection Blade
Module Switch Version – User’s Guide" and " スイッチブレード（10Gbps 18/8）
