Features Introduction

KVM-Blade

For administering the server blades, the PRIMERGY BX600 S2 basic unit offers a KVM blade, which allows the individual server blades to be connected to a console.

–The standard KVM blade allows a monitor, PS2 keyboard and PS2 mouse to be connected for local administration of the server blades.

–The adv. KVM blade offers the same functionality as the standard version of the KVM blade plus a LAN port for connecting a Web-based console.

–The digital KVM blade offers the same functionality as the standard version of the KVM blade plus a LAN port for connecting a Web-based console.

Power Supply

Up to four hot-swappable power supply units which adjust automatically to any power voltage in the range 200 - 240 V in a 2+2 redundant power supply config- uration ensure enough power for the system. If one of these units fails, the others ensure that operation continues unimpaired. The defective power supply unit can be replaced during operation (hot-swap).

Ventilation

The system is kept cool by three fans in each power supply unit and four single fans, with two of them mounted one after the other in a housing in the rear chassis. This configuration is redundant and hot-swappable.

High Level of Availability and Failure Protection

When memory data is accessed, 1-bit errors in the main memory are recog- nized and automatically corrected with the ECC (Error Correcting Code) method.

ASR&R (Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart) restarts the system in the case of an error and automatically “hides” the defective system components.

The PDA (Prefailure Detection and Analyzing) technology from Fujitsu Siemens Computers analyzes and monitors all components relevant for system reliability.

The hot-swappable components provide additional failure protection. Failure protection on a complete blade system is ensured by up to four redundant, hot- swap power supply units (PSU), as well as hot-swap, redundant fans.
