the PRIMERGY BX400 has to be the IT infrastructure
of choice. Up to eight server and storage blades
are all packed into a surprisingly small enclosure
that is as easy to install and manage as it is to
use. The modular design makes this blade server
infrastructure ideal for use in both the ofce and
data center environments. The system combines
leading-edge technology, such as a fully integrated
virtual storage appliance, with impressive
I/O exibility and bandwidth known from the
PRIMERGY BX900. The PRIMERGY BX400 chassis
is available in two different versions. The 6U rack
version can be easily integrated into industry
standard 19-inch Fujitsu and third-party racks. The
oorstand version easily ts underneath a desk in
an ofce and its noise level of 45 dB make it one
of the quietest blade servers on the market. Both
models can be equipped with the same PRIMERGY

Features and Benefits
Main Features Benefits
Simplicity itself – The Fujitsu PRIMERGY BX400
The Base Conguration Wizard provides support during the
conguration of the system unit and guides the user step-by-step
through the menu to start the blade server.
The ServerView Dashboard is an intuitive user interface, provides
information about the system status and an opportunity to execute
basic administrative tasks.
The local service panel supplies status information directly via the
system LCD display, and provides support during administration,
conguration, diagnostics and monitoring.
Kind to the environment and to your energy bill
Power supply modules with high efciency levels combined with
large fans and airow channels sharply reduce power consumption
and cool the system directly.
End-to-end power management helps companies to understand
thermal effects more easily and to use energy more efciently as a
result of its intelligent monitoring and controls. With its “Low Noise”
Mode, the system reduces power consumption and fan operation so
that the unit does not emit more than 45 dB(A) noise.
The “Dynamic Power Mode” maximizes the efciency of power
supply units as the required power is automatically modied to
system requirements.
The PRIMERGY BX400 is extremely user-friendly - from start to
nish. Easy installation processes and intuitive user interfaces
slash the time taken up by daily operating activities and various IT
maintenance tasks to a minimum.
Energy efciency is taken into account in every aspect of the
PRIMERGY BX400. It reduces electricity bills, eases the burden on
air-conditioning systems and even shrinks your IT-related carbon
footprint.
Smart, exible and modular
The system offers an optimized combination of up to eight server
and storage blades as well as connection blades in a compact
housing (available as rack and oor version).
Both versions can be equipped with the latest blade technology and
offer a high level of I/O exibility and a bandwidth as known with
the PRIMERGY BX900.
PRIMERGY VSX960 offers a fully integrated virtual storage solution
for the blade system in order to convert this to a small data center
in a box.
Attractively priced and low on running costs
Modular upgrade options to protect investments by integrating new
technologies in existing environments.
A footprint smaller than conventional tower or rack servers reduces
space requirements by up to 50%.
A user-friendly design reduces the effort and costs involved in
setting up network connections, installation and management.
The integrated energy management enables better understanding
of the power consumption and thermal effects so that tasks can be
claried before they affect system costs and performance.
The module infrastructure offers investment protection for
exible growth scenarios for use in data center and normal ofce
environments.
The consolidated design of the PRIMERGY BX400 is more cost-
efcient with lower operating costs compared with conventional
server, storage and network solutions.
