Introduction

2 Introduction

The PRIMERGY BX600 Blade Server system is a modular server system that can integrates up to 10 server modules, four IBP Modules (one IBP will be included in the base enclosure, the other three are optional) and two Management Modules (MMB). The IBP Module provides networking connectivity to PRIMERGY BX600 Blade Server. The Management Modules provides a single point of control for the PRIMERGY BX600 Blade Server.

The PRIMERGY BX600 Intellignent Blade Panel (IBP) Modules are 42-port devices that are connected to servers through the mid-plane connectors located on PRIMERGY BX600 Blade Server middle plane. The device has 42 ports. The ports numeration starts from the internal ports g1-g30 connected to server blades, and ports g31-g42 are the external ports connecting the IBP Module to the network through the internal ports.

12 external RJ-45 connectors for 10/100/1000 Base-T copper ports (uplinks).

30 internal ports connected to servers through PRIMERGY BX600 Blade Server mid-plane connector of a VHDM type.

The terminal connection to the device is provided through the MMB board only. No access point is provided on the IBP Module front panel. For debugging and management purposes, a UART bus of each IBP Module is connected to the MMB board. The MMB board can select for management only one IBP at a time.

The IBP Module receives a power supply (12 V dc) through the mid-plane connector. A four system LED indicates the IBP Module status (Power module,MMB-selected or not).

The following figure illustrates the PRIMERGY BX600:
