Introduction

Information

For the latest information on optional products provided for the BX900 S1 system unit see the configurator of the system unit:

https://sp.ts.fujitsu.com/dmsp/docs/cnfgbx900-systemunits.pdf

(for the EMEA market)

http://primeserver.fujitsu.com/primergy/system/ (for the Japanese market)

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 126).

Power supply

The system unit has six installation bays for hot-plug power supply units. There are two types of power supply units, standard PSU and High Efficiency PSU (in the following HE PSU for short), see "Technical data" on page 21. Both types 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 127).

I A combination of standard PSUs and HE PSUs in one BX900 S1 system

unit is not allowed.

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 127).

BX900 S1 Operating Manual 17

Introduction

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.

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

● 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.

Introduction

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.

3 Important notes

This chapter provides safety instructions which you must observe when handling your system.

3.1 Safety instructions

I The following safety instructions are also provided in the manual "Safety

Notes and Regulations" or " 安全上のご注意 ".

This device meets the relevant safety regulations for IT equipment. If you have any questions about whether you can install the server in the intended environment, please contact your sales outlet or our customer service team.

V CAUTION!

● The actions described in this manual shall be performed by technical

specialists. A technical specialist is a person who is trained to install the server including hardware and software.

● Repairs to the device that do not relate to CSS failures shall be

performed by service personnel. Please note that unauthorized interference with the system will void the warranty and exempt the manufacturer from all liability.

● Any failure to observe the guidelines in this manual, and any improper

repairs could expose the user to risks (electric shock, energy hazards, fire hazards) or damage the equipment.

● Before installing/removing internal options to/from the server, turn off

the server, all peripheral devices, and any other connected devices. Also unplug all power cords from the power outlet. Failure to do so can cause electric shock.

BX900 S1 Operating Manual 27

Important notes

Before starting up

V CAUTION!

● During installation and before operating the device, observe the

instructions on environmental conditions for your device (see

"Ambient conditions" on page 23).

● If the server has been moved from a cold environment, condensation

may form both inside and on the outside of the machine.

Wait until the server has acclimatized to room temperature and is absolutely dry before starting it up. Material damage may be caused to the server if this requirement is not met.

● Only transport the server in the original packaging or in packaging

that protects it from impacts and jolts. For the Japanese market, transporting the device in its original packaging does not apply.

Installation and operation

V CAUTION!

● The device may only be operated in a maximum ambient temperature

of 35 °C.

● If the device is integrated in an installation that receives power from

an industrial (public) power supply network with the IEC309 connector, the (public) power supply protection must comply with the requirements for the non-industrial (public) power supply networks for the type B connector.

● The device automatically adjusts to a mains voltage in the range of

100 - 240 V. Make sure that the local mains voltage is neither above nor below these limits.

● This device must only be connected to properly grounded power

outlets or to the insulated sockets of the rack's internal power supply using safety-tested power cables.

● Make sure that the device is connected to a protective contact socket

that is close by the device.

28 Operating Manual BX900 S1

Important notes

V CAUTION!

● 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.
