1 Introduction
With the FUJITSU Server BS2000 SE Series (SE servers), FUJITSU offers a server infrastructure which consists of
two server lines.
Depending on requirements, an SE server contains all the system components needed for operation as an overall
application:
/390-based BS2000 Server Unit
x86-based Server Units with BS2000 guest systems, SU300 also with Linux or Windows guest systems as an
option
x86-based Application Units for operating Native or hypervisor systems (e.g. Linux, Windows, VMware, OVM,
etc.)
Shareable tape and disk periphery
A high-speed, server-internal infrastructure to connect the components with each other and with the customer
LAN or SAN.
Information on the hardware lifecycle of the FUJITSU Server BS2000 SE Series (Changes
since the last edition of the manual)
With the hardware lifecycle of the SE Series, the hardware basis for the Server Unit x86, the Management Unit and
the HNC has been renewed several times. If the following generations are not identified by their own designations
(e.g. SU300 -> SU300B -> SU310), the generations are identified by a subsequent Mx with x = 1,2,3,…: MU M2,
MU M3, HNC M2, HNC M3 etc. The generation M2 is supported as of SE V6.2A, the generation M3 as of version
6.3A04.
The changes in the manuals are mainly due to these new hardware lifecycle generation models. Any differences to
the previous models regarding structure and operation are described in detail.
Information on using the manual
The Operating Manual consists of a number of modules and describes the features and hardware components of
the FUJITSU BS2000 servers of the SE series. Users should read the operating manuals carefully in order to obtain
optimal performance from the SE server.
This manual describes the hardware component Server Unit x86 and complements the Basic Operating Manual [ ].1
You will find a comprehensive introductory chapter in the Basic Operating Manual. The chapters "Important notes"
on SE server operation and "Environmental protection and service" are contained only in the Basic Operating
Manual.
In the following, abbreviations are used to describe the SE server models and their components. These are
explained in the introduction to the Basic Operating Manual [ ] in the section "Models, Names, Abbreviations".1

2 Server Unit SU x86
This section describes the Server Units SU300 and SU310. SE300(B) is equipped with an SU300 as the first Server
Unit. SE300, SE500 and SE700 can optionally be equipped with one or two additional Server Units SU300. SE310
is equipped with an SU310 as Server Unit.
In the SU x86 the base system X2000 enables BS2000 to execute (in Native mode or on BS2000 VMs). Optionally
X2000 enables Linux/Windows systems to operate in parallel on XenVMs.
An SU300 occupies four height units (HUs) in the rack, an SU310 occupies two HUs.
Features
For SU300 16 models are available with up to 16 BS2000 processors. For SU310 there are 3 models with 4
processors (16 cores) each. Capacity on Demand permits temporary processor attachment.
Depending on the model, the size of the main memory (for BS2000 and for the base system X2000) is 32 to 128
GB in the basic configuration. These models can be enhanced to up to 512 GB (SU310) resp. 1504 GB (SU300)
or 2912 GB (SU300B).
For the input/output system the Server Unit contains two 2.5'' SAS (on SU310) resp. SATA (on SU300) hard
disks, each with a capacity of 600 GB in size in the basic configuration, which are mirrored.
The Server Unit contains a DVD-RW drive.
Fibre Channels operating at 8 or 16 Gbps are available for connecting peripherals.
At least one 4-port LAN card is connected on the Server Unit. The first two ports are used for the connection to
the Net Unit, and the other two can, if required, be used for BS2000 applications. Optionally LAN controllers
operating at 10 Gbps can also be used.
Each Server Unit is equipped with 4 power supply units. 2 + 2 redundancy in 2 phases is thus guaranteed. If one
phase fails completely, the Server Unit will continue to operate.
Components and ports which are not used are not described below.

2.1 Switching the Server Unit on/off
Information on switching on and starting the SE server and on switching it off and shutting it down is provided in the
" " [ ], "Switching the server on and off".Basic Operating Manual 1
Switching the Server Unit on
Before the Server Unit is switched on, the status indicator lights up green (item 5 in ).figure 2
>As the administrator, BS2000 administrator or a privileged operator, switch on the Server Unit using the SE
Manager (menu , tab, symbol for the Server Unit), see the “Operation and Hardware -> Units Units Switch on
Administration” manual [ ].5
The power-on indicator lights up green. The Server Unit switches on, conducts a system test and starts X2000.
If automatic IPL is configured for BS2000, the BS2000 system (Native or as a VM2000 monitor system) is also
started with the configured settings.
If automatic startup is configured for XenVMs, these systems are also started.
Switching the Server Unit off
Before the Server Unit is switched off, the On/Off switch / status indicator lights up green, and after the Server Unit
has been switched off it no longer lights up (item 4 in ).figure 2
>As the administrator, BS2000 administrator or a privileged operator, switch off the Server Unit using the SE
Manager (menu , tab, symbol for the Server Unit), see the “Operation and Hardware -> Units Units Switch off
Administration” manual [ ].5
When the Server Unit is switched off, the BS2000 system is shut down properly taking into account the remaining
runtime specified.
The "Power cable connected" status indicator (item 5 in ) lights up green when the server is switched off butfigure 2
connected to the power supply (power cable connected).
This status indicator does not light up in the following situations:
The Server Unit is switched off and not connected to the power source.
The Server Unit is switched on and operating normally.

Assignment of the PCIe slots
Figure 10: Principle of PCIe slot assignment at the rear of the device (SU300)
The figure shows the PCIe slots of an SU300 (SU300 M2):
S1 is equipped with a 4-port LAN controller.
In the figure, slots S2 through S10 are not equipped.
Depending on the customer's wishes, the slots can be equipped with FibreChannel, LAN or (RAID) SAS
controllers.

20
On models with mono processors (10A to 10F), only the PCIe-Slots S1 to S4 are available. The slots S5 through
S10 can only be used with larger configuration.
They can optionally be upgraded with two further processor chips without changing the BS2000 performance so
that additional Linux/Windows guest systems can be operated on XenVM and the full number of PCIe slots is also
available.
