1 Preface
The PRIMERGY BX620 S4 2-way Server Blade is an Intel-based server blade
with outstanding network qualities. Combined with Gbit Ethernet LAN SB9F
switch blades, it offers LAN connections via 6 onboard Ethernet channels in the
BX600 S3 basic unit. The server blade can also be operated in the BX600 S2
basic unit, in which case, however, only 2 of the 6 onboard Ethernet channels
of the server blade can be used.
The PRIMERGY BX620 S4 server blade offers several new forward-looking
technologies such as dual-core processors, FBD memory modules with
extended mirroring, modular hard disk controller configuration and 2.5-inch SAS
or SATA hard disks.

Preface Extensions and Conversions
1.2 Extensions and Conversions
Second Processor
If only one processor is installed in your server blade, you can upgrade it to
include a second one. You may only use processors of the same type in the
server blade. The second processor must have the same clock frequency as the
first.
Extension of the Main Memory
The main memory sockets are suitable for "Fully Buffered DIMM" (FBD) 533-
MHz memory modules. Memory modules must be installed in pairs. The two
memory modules of one bank must always have the same capacity.
Optional I/O Modules
The server blade has one slot for an extension board (daughter card) which can
be used to provide two Fibre Channel (FC) connections or two additional
Ethernet connections. The following I/O modules are available:
– 2 Gbit Fibre Channel daughter card (PCI-X)
– 4 Gbit Fibre Channel daughter card (PCIe)
– 1 Gbit Ethernet daughter card (PCIe)
– 10 Gbit Ethernet daughter card (PCIe)
To be able to use the additional I/O functionality, at least one Fibre Channel or
Ethernet I/O blade must be installed in the NET3 and/or NET4 slots of the
BX600 basic unit. For further information on I/O blades, see the operating
manual for your BX600 basic unit (see “Related publications” on page 59).
Storage Modules
The hard disks are controlled by a storage module (controller) that can be
plugged into the motherboard and which may also have additional functions.
SATA only offers one storage module variant, while SAS offers a total of four
different variants: SAS, SAS/RAID, SAS/PCI-X and SAS/PCIe. The two PCI
variants allow the installation of low-profile PCI modules.
Storage modules can be installed/replaced via the front of the server blade
without having to take off the housing cover. However, they cannot be replaced
while the system is running (non-hot-plug) - the server blade must be switched
off.

Installation and Operation
VCAUTION!
●Read the notes on installation and operation in the operating manual
for your BX600 basic unit (see “Related publications” on page 59).
●When installing the server blade in the basic unit, beware of the
energy hazard at the midplane conctacts. A short-circuit on these
contacts may damage the system.
●Data cables must be adequately shielded to avoid interference.
●For the LAN wiring, the requirements according to standards EN
50173 and EN 50174-1/2 apply. The minimum requirement is the use
of a protected LAN line of category 5 for 10/100 Mbps Ethernet,
and/or category 5e for Gigabit Ethernet. The requirements of the
specification ISO/IEC 11801 must also be taken into account.
●Route the cables in such a way that they do not form a potential
hazard (tripping) and cannot be damaged. When connecting the
device, refer to the relevant notes in the Operating Manual.
●Do not connect or disconnect any data transmission cables during a
thunderstorm (lightning hazard).
●Be careful to ensure that no objects (e.g. jewelry, paper clips etc.) or
liquids get inside the device (electric shock, short circuit).
●In emergencies (e.g. damaged casing, control elements or cables,
penetration of liquids or foreign bodies), switch off the device immedi-
ately, unplug it from the grounded power outlets, and contact your
customer service center.
●Proper operation of the device (in accordance with IEC60950/EN
60950) is only ensured if the casing is completely assembled and the
rear covers for the installation openings are in place (electric shock,
cooling, fire protection, interference suppression).
●Install only system extensions that satisfy the requirements and rules
governing safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and telecommunica-
tions terminal equipment.
If you install other extensions, you may damage the system or violate
these safety regulations.
Information on which system extensions are suitable can be obtained
from the customer service center or your sales outlet.

BX620 S4 Options Guide 15
Notes on Safety
VCAUTION!
●The components marked with a warning label (e.g. lightning symbol)
may only be opened, removed, or exchanged by authorized, qualified
personnel, with the exception of the hot-plug/hot-swap components.
●If you cause a defect on the device by installing or exchanging system
extensions, the warranty will be invalidated.
●Only set the resolutions and refresh rates specified in the operating
manual for your monitor.
Otherwise, you may damage the monitor. If you are in any doubt,
contact your sales outlet or customer service center.
Batteries
VCAUTION!
●Incorrect replacement of batteries may lead to a risk of explosion. The
batteries may only be replaced with identical batteries or with a type
recommended by the manufacturer.
●Do not throw batteries into the trash can. They must be disposed of
in accordance with local regulations concerning special waste.
●The battery must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations
concerning special waste.
●Replace the lithium battery on the system board in accordance with
the instructions in the service supplement for the server blade.
●All batteries containing pollutants are marked with a symbol (a
crossed-out garbage can). In addition, the marking is provided with
the chemical symbol of the heavy metal decisive for the classification
as a pollutant:
Cd Cadmium
Hg Mercury
Pb Lead

Modules with Electrostatic-Sensitive Devices
Modules with electrostatic-sensitive devices are identified by the following
sticker:
Figure 2: ESD label
When you handle components fitted with ESDs, you must always observe the
following points:
●Switch off the system and remove the power plugs from the power outlets
before installing or removing components with ESDs.
●You must always discharge static build-up (e.g. by touching a grounded
object) before working with such components.
●Any devices or tools that are used must be free of electrostatic charge.
●Wear a suitable grounding cable that connects you to the external chassis of
the system unit.
●Always hold components with ESDs at the edges or at the points marked
green (touch points).
●Do not touch any connectors or conduction paths on an ESD.
●Place all the components on a pad which is free of electrostatic charge.
IFor a detailed description of how to handle ESD components, see the
relevant European or international standards (EN 61340-5-1,
