Operating Manual

BX900 S1

Technical data

Management blade

The PRIMERGY BX900 S1 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 125).

Power supply

The system unit has six installation bays for hot-plug power supply units which automatically set themselves to a voltage in the range of 100 - 240 V. The base configuration includes three power supply units. As an option, you can set up a redundant power supply with 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 126).

Cooling

Cooling of the system is ensured by two fan units in each power supply unit and by the fan modules. Each of the fan units contains 2x2 fans. The fan modules have the same aspect ratio as the power supply units. Depending on the number of installed server blades and storage blades in the system unit, 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 126).

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.

●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

●Temperature monitoring of the CPU and the surrounding area

●Detailed status and error reports for processors and main memory

●Watchdog timer for Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart (ASR&R) in the event that memory modules or processors fail

●Power monitoring

●End-of-life monitoring of fans with prompt notification before failure

●Watchdog timer for monitoring the operating system with ASR&R

Further information on the ServerView Operations Manager is provided in the associated documentation.

Technical data

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.

The redundant management blades and the optional remote test and diagnostics system ServerView Remote Management allows the PRIMERGY BX900 S1 blade servers to be serviced from a remote system. This enables remote diagnosis for system analysis, remote configuration and remote restart should the operating system or hardware fail.

Important notes

VCAUTION!

●Make sure that the power sockets on the device or the grounded mains outlets are freely accessible.

●The On/Off button or the main power switch (if there is one) does not disconnect the device from the mains voltage. To completely disconnect it, you must remove all the power plugs from the power outlets.

●Always connect the device and the attached peripherals to the same power circuit. Otherwise you run the risk of losing data if, for example, a power outage occurs and the server is still running but the peripheral device (e.g. a storage subsystem) has failed.

●Data cables must be adequately shielded to avoid interference.

●For the LAN wiring, the requirements according to standards

EN 50173 and EN 50174-1/2 apply. The minimum requirement is the use of a protected LAN cable of category 5 for 10/100-Mbit/s Ethernet, and/or of category 5e for Gigabit Ethernet. The requirements of the specification ISO/IEC 11801 must also be taken into account.

●Route the cables in such a way that they do not form a potential hazard (tripping) and cannot be damaged. When connecting the device, refer to the relevant notes in the operating manual.

●Do not connect or disconnect any data transmission cables during a thunderstorm (lightning hazard).

●Make sure that no objects (such as bracelets or paper clips) or liquids get inside the device (risk of electric shock or short circuit.

●In emergencies (e.g. damaged casing, control elements or power cable, penetration of liquids or foreign bodies), switch off the device immediately, unplug it from the grounded power outlets, and contact your customer service center.
