Management blade

The PRIMERGY BX900 S1 system unit has slots for two redundant, hot-swap management blades with an integrated management solution for complete remote administration of the system. The base configuration of the system unit contains one management blade (for details, see section "Management blades" on page 125).

Power supply

The system unit has six installation bays for hot-plug power supply units which automatically set themselves to a voltage in the range of 100 - 240 V. The base configuration includes three power supply units. As an option, you can set up a redundant power supply with three additional power supply units. If a power supply unit fails, the redundant configuration assures continued operation. The defective power supply unit can be replaced during operation (for further details see section "Hot-plug power supply units" on page 126).

Cooling

Cooling of the system is ensured by two fan units in each power supply unit and by the fan modules. Each of the fan units contains 2x2 fans. The fan modules have the same aspect ratio as the power supply units. Depending on the number of installed server blades and storage blades in the system unit, 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 126).

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.
