Before reading this manual
For your safety
This manual contains important information for safely and correctly using this
product.
Carefully read the manual before using this product. Pay particular attention to
the accompanying manual "Safety Notes and Regulations" and ensure these
safety notes are understood before using the product. Keep this manual and the
manual "Safety Notes and Regulations" in a safe place for easy reference while
using this product.
Radio interference
This product is a "Class A" ITE (Information Technology Equipment). In a
domestic environment this product may cause radio interference, in which case
the user may be required to take appropriate measures. VCCI-A
Aluminum electrolytic capacitors
The aluminum electrolytic capacitors used in the product's printed circuit board
assemblies and in the mouse and keyboard are limited-life components. Use of
these components beyond their operating life may result in electrolyte leakage
or depletion, potentially causing emission of foul odor or smoke.
As a guideline, in a normal office environment (25°C) operating life is not
expected to be reached within the maintenance support period (5 years).
However, operating life may be reached more quickly if, for example, the
product is used in a hot environment. The customer shall bear the cost of
replacing replaceable components which have exceeded their operating life.
Note that these are only guidelines, and do not constitute a guarantee of
trouble-free operation during the maintenance support period.
High safety use
This product has been designed and manufactured to be used in commercial
and/or industrial areas as a server.
When used as visual display workplace, it must not be placed in the direct field
of view to avoid incommoding reflections (applies only to TX server systems).
The device has not been designed or manufactured for uses which demand an
extremely high level of safety and carry a direct and serious risk of life or body
if such safety cannot be assured.

These uses include control of nuclear reactions in nuclear power plants,
automatic airplane flight control, air traffic control, traffic control in mass
transport systems, medical devices for life support, and missile guidance
control in weapons systems (hereafter, "high safety use"). Customers should
not use this product for high safety use unless measures are in place for
ensuring the level of safety demanded of such use. Please consult the sales
staff of Fujitsu if intending to use this product for high safety use.
Measures against momentary voltage drop
This product may be affected by a momentary voltage drop in the power supply
caused by lightning. To prevent a momentary voltage drop, use of an AC
uninterruptible power supply is recommended.
(This notice follows the guidelines of Voltage Dip Immunity of Personal
Computer issued by JEITA, the Japan Electronics and Information Technology
Industries Association.)

BX400 S1 Operating Manual 11
1 Introduction
The PRIMERGY BX400 S1 blade server is a highly compact, energy-saving
and scalable server system for installation in a 19-inch rack or as a floorstand
model. The BX400 S1 system unit offers 8 slots for a mixture of server blades
and storage blades (therein a maximum of 4 single-slot storage-blades
respectively 2 double-slot storage blades).
With its advanced infrastructure modules, the BX400 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 PRIMERGY 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 BX400 S1 system unit occupies 6 height units (HU) in the rack.

Introduction
Further sources of information
Further information is provided:
– The Deployment Manager manual (only relevant for cloning server blades)
– Documentation on the server blades and storage blades
– The manual "PRIMERGY BX400 Blade Server Systems ServerView
Management Blade S1 User Interface Description"
1.3 Performance features
Customer Self Service (CSS)
The Fujitsu Technology Solutions Customer Self Service (CSS) concept
enables you to identify and replace the affected component yourself in the case
of certain error scenarios.
In the CSS concept, you can replace the following components yourself in the
event of an error:
– Hot-plug hard disk drives
– Hot-plug power supply units
– Memory modules
– System fan
– Expansion cards
For information on replacing these components, see chapter "Hot-plug
components" on page 85.
CSS indicators on the control panel and on the back of the PRIMERGY server
provide you with information if a CSS event arises (for more information on the
behavior of these indicators, see chapter "Installation and operation" on
page 59 and the "ServerView Suite Local Service Concept - LSC" manual on
the ServerView Suite DVD 2).
Your system unit can fitted with a ServerView Local Service Display for Blade,
which enables you to identify the type of component affected by the error
directly on the server (for more information, see the "PRIMERGY
ServerView Suite Local Service Concept - LSC" manual on the PRIMERGY
ServerView Suite DVD 2).
In addition, CSS errors are displayed in the ServerView Operations Manager -
the server management software from Fujitsu Technology Solutions.

In the event of errors, the ServerView Operations Manager refers you directly
to the affected component and its order information in the Illustrated Spares
catalog of the server in question. (This feature is not available for the Japanese
market.)
Server performance
The system unit has 8 slots for server blades. Four server blade slots can be
fitted with single-slot storage blades (or two slots with double-slot storage
blades) which provide additional storage capacity for the neighboring server
blades. For information on installing and removing server blades and storage
blades, see section "Server blades and storage blades" on page 86. For further
information on the server blades and storage blades, see the relevant operating
manuals.
Connection blades
The PRIMERGY BX400 S1 system unit has four slots for connection blades on
the back. These provide the installed server blades with connections to the
Ethernet LAN as well as to SAN environments and Infiniband environments.
