redundant management blades with an integrated management solution for
complete remote administration of the system.
KVM Blade
For administering the server blades, the PRIMERGY BX600 S3 basic unit offers
a KVM blade, which allows the individual server blades to be connected to a
console.
– The standard KVM blade allows a monitor, PS2 keyboard and PS2 mouse
to be connected for local administration of the server blades.
– The adv. KVM blade offers the same functionality as the standard version
of the KVM blade plus a LAN port for connecting a Web-based console.
– The digital KVM blade offers the same functionality as the standard version
of the KVM blade plus a LAN port for connecting a Web-based console.

BX600 S3 Operating Manual 13
Preface Features
Power Supply
Up to four hot-swappable power supply units which adjust automatically to any
power voltage in the range 200 - 240 V in a 2+2 redundant power supply config-
uration ensure enough power for the system. If one of these units fails, the
others ensure that operation continues unimpaired. The defective power supply
unit can be replaced during operation (hot-swap).
Ventilation
The system is kept cool by three fans in each power supply unit and four single
fans, with two of them mounted one after the other in a housing in the rear
chassis. This configuration is redundant and hot-swappable.
High Level of Availability and Failure Protection
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 case 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 relevant for
system reliability.
The hot-swappable components provide additional failure protection. Failure
protection on a complete blade system is ensured by up to four redundant, hot-
swap power supply units (PSU), as well as hot-swap, redundant fans.
Server Management
Server management is implemented via the supplied ServerView software and
PDA (Prefailure Detection and Analyzing) technology from Fujitsu Technology
Solutions. PDA warns of system errors or overloading before they occur so that
preventive measures can be taken.
ServerView allows the management of all PRIMERGY servers in the network via
a central console. Here ServerView supports the following functions:
●Remote startup (Wake On LAN)
●Temperature monitoring of the CPU and the surrounding area

●Watchdog timer for Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart (ASR&R)
in the event of memory modules or processors failing
●Power monitoring
●End-of-life monitoring of the fans with timely notification before a failure
●Watchdog timer for operating system monitoring and application monitoring
with ASR&R
Deployment software makes installing multiple servers fast and easy. For further
information, see the corresponding documentation (see “Related Publications”
on page 157).
Information on server management with ServerView is provided in the associated
documentation (see also “Related Publications” on page 157).
ServerView Installation Manager
You can configure the server quickly and precisely with the ServerView
Installation Manager software provided. User-guided menus are available for
installing the server operating systems.
Service and Support
PRIMERGY servers are service-friendly and modular, thus allowing quick and
easy maintenance.
IFor easy and immediate recognition, the levers or handles and locking
buttons (touch points) of the locking mechanisms for the different compo-
nents have the color green.
The flash EPROM program supplied with the Fujitsu Technology Solutions
utilities supports fast BIOS update. The two redundant and hot-swappable
management blades with independent management LAN and COM ports
ensure complete remote control. Together they facilitate remote diagnosis for
system analysis, remote configuration and remote restart, should the operating
system or hardware fail.

–Remote installation with ServerView Installation Manager
This installation method is recommended if a LAN connection and a
DHCP server are available but the requirements for cloning are not satis-
fied.
–Local installation with or without ServerView Installation Manager
Since the local installation is the least convenient installation method, it
is only recommended if the requirements for remote installation or
cloning are not satisfied.
If you wish to install an operating system that is not supported by Server-
View Installation Manager, you can perform the installation directly
without using ServerView Installation Manager.
IFor further information on remote or local installation of server blades,
please see the ServerView Installation Manager manual, which
contains a “Quick Step Guide” as well as a detailed description of the
different installation options and installation wizards. A print version
of the ServerView Installation Manager manual is included in the
PRIMERGY ServerView Suite, which comes with the BX600 S3 basic
unit. A PDF version of the manual is contained on the PRIMERGY
ServerBooks DVD.
Cloning of server blades is described in the RemoteDeploy manual
(print version delivered with RemoteDeploy, PDF version contained
on the PRIMERGY ServerBooks DVD).
