1 Introduction
The Fujitsu Server BS2000 SE series with its innovative HW and SW features forms the proven mainframe line
from Fujitsu. Designed as hybrid systems, the SE servers create a new quality of openness and integration
capability of different server and peripheral systems with simultaneous comprehensive and cross-system
manageability.
Under the umbrella of the SE infrastructure, multiple application scenarios are possible in various combinations for
both mainframe applications and applications of the open world. The server architecture offers comprehensive
performance scalability (scale-up and scale-out), and ensures that users can manage their application workloads
securely, quickly and efficiently across technological boundaries with maximum availability.
One major aim of the SE servers is to provide a uniform management strategy which offers customers significant
added value through maximum integration, and guarantees extremely cost-effective operation of their IT.
The heart of the SE series is formed by the /390-based Server Units, the x86-based Server Units, the Net Unit (NU)
and the Management Unit (MU).
All components are integrated into a standard 19" rack and are supplied to customers ready to use.
In addition to their high system performance, the servers of the SE series offer enhanced configuration options,
maximum availability and, not least of all, significantly reduced power consumption compared with predecessors.
Depending on requirements, the SE server contains all the system components needed for operation as an overall
application:
Server Unit /390 for BS2000 guest systems
Server Unit x86 for BS2000 guest systems
Application Units x86 for operating Native or hypervisor systems (e.g. Linux, Windows, VMware, etc.)
Net Unit as a high-speed, server-internal infrastructure to connect the components with each other and with the
customer's IP networks.
Shareable tape and disk periphery
Infrastructure to connect the components with the customer's FC networks
Information on using the manual
The Operating Manual consists of a number of modules and describes the features and hardware components of
the Fujitsu Server BS2000 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 [ ].

2 Server Unit SU x86
This section describes the Server Units SU310 in an SE server SE310, SU320 in an SE server SE320 and SU330
in an SE server SE330. SU330 can optionally also be present in an SE730.
In the SU x86 the base system X2000 enables BS2000 to execute (in Native mode or on BS2000 VMs).
An SU310 occupies two height units (HUs) in the rack, an SU320 as well as an SU330 occupies three HUs.
Features
For SU310 there are three models with four processors (16 cores) each, for SU320 one model with also four
processors. Capacity on Demand permits temporary processor attachment. For SU330 11 models are available
with up to 16 BS2000 processors.
The size of the main memory (for BS2000 and for the base system X2000) is 128 GB in the basic configuration.
These models can be enhanced to up to 512 GB.
For the input/output system the Server Unit contains two 2.5'' SAS hard disks with a capacity of 600 GB each (on
SU310 and SU320) resp. two SATA hard disks with a capacity of 960 GB each (on SU330) 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 SU x86 is equipped with two power supply units.
Components and ports which are not used are not described below.
