Fujitsu BX400 S1 manual Introduction Cooling, High level of availability and failure protection

Introduction

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 119).

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
