General information
The Blade Server Concept
The Blade Server System concept is a modular concept which separates the
I/O functionality (switch blade, SCSI blade, FC pass-thru blade) from the CPU
(server blade). Two management blades with an integrated management
solution for complete redundant remote administration of the system are also
implemented. Fault tolerance on a complete blade system level is also
maintained by using 3+1 redundant, hot-swap power supply units (PSU), as well
as hot-swap, redundant fans.
A fully redundant, hot-swap design of the server blade ensures that blades can
be added or exchanged without interruption of service. The compact design
allows up to 10 server blades to be installed in a chassis of only 7 HU (height
units) in a 19-inch rack.
The figure below shows the front of the BX600 system unit and the numbering
of the server blade slots.

02–BX600–6 March 2006 U41057-J21-Z146-1-76
The Blade Server Concept General information
The server blade combines all the core components of a traditional server. It
contains one or two CPUs, the main memory and one or two Ultra320 SCSI
hard disk drives on which the operating system and application programs are
installed. The server blade comes with extensive I/O capabilities, as there are
two Gigabit Ethernet ports, two optional 2-Gigabit Fibre Channel ports and one
optional PCI expansion slot. The VGA and USB connectors at the front of each
server blade can be used for local, on-site maintenance.
The PRIMERGY BX600 chassis provides redundant and hot-pluggable infra-
structure modules that are connected to the server blades by means of a
passive midplane. The management blades provide the remote management
interface. The Gigabit Ethernet switch blades connect the Gigabit Ethernet
ports of the server blades to the LAN. The Fibre Channel pass-thru blades are
responsible for connection to a SAN, using the optional FC module for each
server blade. The infrastructure is rounded off by a KVM switch and an SCSI
module for connecting external backup devices.
The two management blades have separate LAN connections for maintaining
accessibility to the system even when the standard traffic network connections
are down.
Application areas
As economical, ultra-compact systems, the mono or dual CPU server blades
are ideal for use by company data centers and Internet service providers. They
are perfectly suited for large application servers, terminal servers for CPU-
intensive applications, and DBMS servers.
Other common application areas:
– Internet and caching services (Microsoft IIS and Linux Apache)
– Web cache (Inktomi traffic server, Microsoft ISA server or Volera)
– Streaming media
– DNS server, VPN gateway, SSL/LB, firewall intrusion protection
– IP load balancing, clustering (F5 BIG-IP, Microsoft NLBS, Linux LVS)
– Terminal server (Citrix)
– Communications or front-end applications

High level of availability and failure protection
The PRIMERGY BX600 blade server system offers a high level of reliability and
availability through highly developed hardware and software components:
– 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
Siemens Computers analyzes and monitors all components relevant for
system reliability.
– The on-board SCSI-RAID controllers with HostRAID support (RAID-Levels
0, 1 and 10) increase system availability.
– 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.
Features

blade. These can be populated with 512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB or
4 memory each with two DDR SDRAM modules. The
maximum memory expansion is 12 GB. ECC with memory
scrubbing function and hot-spare memory bank is standard.
Peripheral
interfaces
Special connector for 2xUSB and VGA port
LAN avail-
ability
Each server blade has four Gigabit LAN channels. Usually two
channels are connected with the switch blades. Each switch
blade has ten 1-Gigabit downlink ports to connect and three
uplink ports for 10/100/1000 Base TX.
Fibre Channel Each server blade can be equipped with two 2 Gbit/sec Fibre
Channel I/O ports. For this purpose an FC daughter board
must be installed in the server blade. To use Fibre Channel
functionality at least one Fibre Channel pass-thru blade is also
required in the system.
PCI
expansion
module
A server blade can be optionally provided with a proprietary
expansion module for a standard full height half length PCI
card via a PCI riser card. This PCI module will occupy the
space of the internal SCSI hard disk module on the left side of
the server blade.

Switch Blade Features
All incoming and outgoing data traffic is transmitted via LAN (TCP/IP protocol,
Gigabit Ethernet). Up to two redundant switch blades provide high-speed LAN
access via multiple Gigabit interfaces. Each switch blade offers ten downlink
ports to the server blades and three RJ45 uplink ports to level-3 switches. These
LAN connections provide the I/O functionality for the server blade besides the
optional Fibre Channel connections (see page 02-BX600-43).
Management Blade Features
Two redundant management blades allow the complete remote administration of
the whole server system. Separate LAN connections are provided to maintain
accessibility to the system even if the standard traffic network connections are
down (see page 02-BX600-50).

Power supply
Up to four hot-swappable power supply units which adjust automatically to any
power voltage in the range 100 V - 127V or 200 V - 240 V in a 3+1 redundant
power supply configuration 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).
KVM blade The rear KVM blade provides the VGA, PS2 keyboard and
mouse interface in the KVM connector for local administration
of the server blades. To connect these devices a special cable
is required, see page 02-BX600-27.
To provide information as to which server blade is connected
to the KVM blade, the KVM blade also has an identify button
and an LED (see page 02-BX600-31).
Front control
board
The front control board is included in the server front and
contains front indicators and controls. It also contains an
identify button and LED on the server front that indicates if the
system has been selected for identification or remote adminis-
tration (see page 02-BX600-31).
Power distri-
bution board
(PDB)
The power distribution board is the bridge that provides inter-
connection between the redundant power supply units and the
midplane. It divides up the 12 V output into 10 branches for
server blades and 6 branches for management blades and switch
blades and FC pass-thru blades.
Midplane
board
The midplane board provides internal interconnection between
all BX600 blade boards.
Docking
board
The docking board connects the front control board (containing
indicators and controls on the front bezel) to the midplane (see
page 02-BX600-131).

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.
Server management
With ServerView and PDA technology, Fujitsu Siemens Computers offers a
complete server management solution. ServerView allows the management of all
PRIMERGY servers in the network using a single central console, normally a
standard PC running the Microsoft Windows operating system.
The following functions are supported:
– Temperature monitoring of the CPU and housing
– Power monitoring
– Timer-controlled switch-on
– Watchdog timer for ASR&R (Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart)
in the event of failure of memory modules or processors
– Watchdog timer for operating system monitoring and application monitoring
– Detailed status and error reports for bus systems, processors and main
memory
– Error message logging in non-volatile NVRAM
By controlling both server components and operational status, a substantial
increase in reliability is achieved. In addition to server management,
version management offers a variety of powerful maintenance tools:
Inventory View Provides information on the hardware configuration of a
server and its system-related software components.
Export Manager The inventory files of several servers can be exported into
Excel, Access, or an SQL database.
Download Manager (contained in ServerView Web Extension as of V2.0)
Enables the download of system-related software compo-
nents (firmware, drivers) from the internet (FSC server) or
from the support CD-ROM.
Global Flash Tool Enables the updating of firmware components.
Archive Manager Provides an overview of archive data.
For more information on the ServerView server management, see the
associated documentation on the ServerBooks CD-ROM.
