BX630 S2 Operating Manual 5
1 Preface
The PRIMERGY BX630 S2 server blade is a scalable AMD-based dual-socket
server blade. It offers several new forward-looking technologies such as quad-
core processors, 2.5-inch SAS or SATA-II hard disk drives, four 1-Gbit/s
onboard Ethernet LAN channels and an optional dual-channel 4-Gbit/s Fibre
Channel (FC) connection. Two BX630 S2 dual-socket server blades can be
connected to form a quad-socket server blade with 16 processor cores.
Figure 1: PRIMERGY BX630 S2 configurations
The PRIMERGY BX630 S2 scalable server blade is designed for the BX600 S3
basic unit, but it can also be installed in slots 1-3 and 5-9 of the BX600 S2 basic
unit.
IIn the latter case, however, only 2 of the 4 onboard Ethernet channels of
the BX630 S2 server blade can be used.
Security functions in the BIOS Setup protect the data on the server blade from
unauthorized manipulation.

basic unit.
1.1 Concept and target group of this manual
This operating manual is intended for those responsible for installing the
hardware and ensuring that the system runs smoothly. It contains all the infor-
mation you need to put your PRIMERGY BX630 S2 server blade into operation.
The information in this manual refers to the BX630 S2 dual-socket server blade.
How to connect two BX630 S2 dual-socket server blades to form a quad-socket
server blade is described in the Options Guide.
For a brief overview of the installation steps see chapter 2 on page 15ff.
To understand the various expansion options, you will need to be familiar with
the fields of hardware and data transmission and you will require a basic
knowledge of the underlying operating system.

1.3 Features
Processors
In the BX630 S2 dual-socket server blade, one (basic configuration) or two
AMD Opteron quad-core processors of the 23xx DP and 83xx MP series ensure
extremely high data throughput and system performance.
All processors have a 2-MB second-level cache (SLC).
IIt is not possible to use CPUs with different clock rates or cache capacity
in a server blade.
In the BX630 S2 quad-socket server blade, only processors of the
Opteron 83xx MP series are allowed.
For upgrading processors see the Options Guide; for exchanging processors
see the Service Supplement.
Memory
The BX630 S2 dual-socket server blade has eight memory slots. Each
processor is assigned four memory slots. Two memory slots make up one
memory bank. The memory slots must be fitted by bank, i.e. with pairs of
memory modules. The server blade supports memory modules of the type
DDR2 667 with 512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB or 4 GB capacity, so the maximum config-
uration is 32 GB (64 GB in a quad-socket server blade). ECC with memory
scrubbing and ChipKill™ are supported. Only memory modules of the same
capacity can be installed in the same memory bank.
How to install memory modules is described in the Options Guide.
LAN availability
The BX630 S2 dual-socket server blade has two onboard Ethernet LAN
controllers with two 1-Gbit/s Ethernet channels each. The Ethernet LAN
connection can be implemented via switch blades or via pass-thru blades on the
back of the basic unit. For more information see the operating manual for the
basic unit.
IYou can only use the two 1-Gbit/s Ethernet channels of the second
onboard LAN controller in connection with the BX600 S3 basic unit and
the Gbit Ethernet LAN switch blade (SB9f) 12 x 1 Gbit.

BX630 S2 Operating Manual 9
Preface Features
Graphics controller
The PRIMERGY BX630 S2 scalable server blade has an onboard graphics
controller (Matrox MGA-200) which is integrated in the iRMC controller. You can
connect a monitor via the VGA interface (via breakout cable) on the front of the
server blade or via the KVM blade on the back of the basic unit.
Optional Fibre Channel or Ethernet I/O module (daughter card)
You can fit the BX630 S2 dual-socket server blade with an I/O daughter card to
connect to a SAN or for additional Ethernet connections. The BX630 S2 quad-
socket server blade allows two I/O daughter cards to be installed.
To be able to use the additional I/O functionality, at least one FC pass-thru blade
or switch blade, or Ethernet pass-thru blade or switch blade must be installed in
slot NET3 of the basic unit.
The following I/O daughter cards are available:
– 4-Gbit/s Fibre Channel I/O module (PCIe), allows transfer rates of 1, 2 or 4
Gbit/s and supports multiple Fibre Channel storage subsystems with the
corresponding versions.
IYou can operate the 4-Gbit/s Fibre Channel I/O module only with a
BX600 S3 basic unit and only in combination with a Brocade SW-
4016 D4 Fibre Channel switch blade or with a 4 Gbit FC pass-thru
blade. For more information see the operating manual for the
BX600 S3 basic unit.
– Gigabit Ethernet I/O module (PCIe), also supports TOE (TCP/IP offload
engine) and iSCSI
– 10-Gbit Ethernet I/O module (PCIe)
IThe 10-Gbit Ethernet I/O module (PCIe) can only be used in combi-
nation with a 10-Gbit switch blade 10/2. For more information see the
operating manual for the basic unit.
IYou must not install server blades with different I/O modules in the same
BX600 S2 or BX600 S3 basic unit.
How to install I/O modules later is described in the Options Guide.

High availability and reliability
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 event of an error and automatically "hides" the defective system compo-
nents.
The PDA (Prefailure Detection and Analyzing) technology from Fujitsu
Technology Solutions analyzes and monitors all components that are important
for system reliability.
The onboard SAS RAID controller supports RAID levels 0 and 1 by default, thus
increasing the system's availability. If you are using SATA-II hard disk drives, you
can implement RAID levels 0 and 1 using Promise 20319 to increase the
system's availability.
Server management
Server management is implemented using the supplied ServerView software and
PDA technology. PDA reports the threat of a system error or overloading to the
system administrator in good time, so that preventive measures can be taken.
ServerView allows the management of all PRIMERGY servers in the network via
a central console. ServerView supports the following functions:
●Monitoring of the ambient and CPU temperatures
●Watchdog timer for Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart (ASR&R)
if memory modules or processors fail
●Power monitoring
●End-of-life monitoring of the fans with prefailure notification
●Watchdog timer for monitoring the operating system and applications with
ASR&R
The supplied deployment software simplifies and speeds up the installation of
multiple servers. For further information see the relevant documentation.
For further information on the ServerView server management software see the
relevant documentation.
