Fujitsu BX600 S3 Power Supply, Ventilation, High Level of Availability and Failure Protection

Preface Features

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 Technology Solutions 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.

Server Management

Server management is implemented via the supplied ServerView software and PDA (Prefailure Detection and Analyzing) technology from Fujitsu Technology Solutions. PDA warns of system errors or overloading before they occur so that preventive measures can be taken.

ServerView allows the management of all PRIMERGY servers in the network via a central console. Here ServerView supports the following functions:

●Remote startup (Wake On LAN)

●Temperature monitoring of the CPU and the surrounding area
