1 Introduction

The PRIMERGY BX900 S1 blade server is a highly compact, energy-saving and scalable server system for installation in a 19-inch rack. The BX900 S1 system unit has 18 installation slots for dual-socket server blades in two rows on top of each other. Six server blade slots can be fitted with storage blades which provide additional storage capacity for the neighboring server blades.

With its advanced infrastructure modules, the BX900 S1 system unit offers the server blades a high level of connectivity and availability. These include hot-plug connection blades, redundant management blades and power supply units, the server management of the ServerView suite, Prefailure Detection and Analyzing (PDA), and Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart (ASR&R).

Security functions in the BIOS-setup of the server blades and on the system boards protect the data on the blade server from manipulation. Additional security is provided by the lockable rack door.

The BX900 S1 system unit takes up 10 height units (U) in the rack.
