BX620 S5 Operating Manual 5
1 Preface
The PRIMERGYBX620 S5 dual-socket server blade constitutes the fifth gener-
ation of extremely compact and powerful BX620 server blades. It provides a
range of current technologies such as the latest generation dual-core and quad-
core processors, DDR3 memory modules with powerful 3-channel architecture
per CPU, modular hard disk controller configuration, and 2.5-inch SAS, SATA or
SSD hard disk drives.
Figure 1: PRIMERGY BX620 S5 Server Blade
The modular disk controller concept with three storage module variants allows
you to create different configurations with SAS and SATA hard disks for different
deployment scenarios. The configuration options range from the low-cost
platform with SATA disks to the high-end platform with SAS disks and a SAS
storage module with RAID5 and Cache/iTBBU.
Six onboard Ethernet channels with iSCSI support are available as communi-
cation interfaces and as an option there are two Fibre Channel or two additional
Ethernet channels.
Security functions in the BIOS Setup protect the data on the server blade from
unauthorized changes.
The BX620 S5 server blade occupies one slot in the basic unit PRIMERGY
BX600 S3. It can be installed together with other server blade modules.

1.1 Concept and target groups for this manual
This operating manual shows you how to install the server blade in the basic
unit, how to start up the server blade and how to operate it.
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 PRIMERGYBX620 S5 into operation.
You will find all information on the installation, startup and operation of server
blades relating to all server blade models in the "PRIMERGY BX600 S3 Basic
Unit" manual.
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.
1.2 Documentation overview

1.3 Performance features
Processors
In the BX620 S5 Server Blade, one (basic configuration) or two dual-core or
quad-core processors of the Intel®XEON®type ensure fast data flow and high
system performance.
The addition of processors is described in the Options Guide and the
replacement of processors in the Service Supplement.
VCAUTION!
You are only permitted to combine CPUs with the same clock frequency
and cache capacity in one BX620 S4 Server Blade.
Memory
6 DIMM slots for DDR3 memory modules are available per CPU on the
PRIMERGY BX620 S5 server blade (organized in 2 banks and 3 channels).
These 12 slots for the main memory are suitable both for RDIMM (registered
DIMM) and for UDIMM (unbuffered DIMM) memory modules. You must use
modules of the same size within a memory bank.
The maximum memory configuration when equipped with UDIMM memory
modules is 24 GB (capacities: 1024 and 2048 MB) and 96 GB when equipped
with RDIMM memory modules (capacities: 2048, 4096 and 8192 MB).
IYou are not permitted to mix UDIMM and RDIMM memory modules.
Memory scrubbing and ChipKill™are standard.
The installation of memory modules is described in the Options Guide.
Hard disk drives
The BX620 S4 Server Blade can accommodate up to two 2.5-inch HDD
modules (alternatively with SAS or SATA interface).
SATA HDD modules with a capacity of 120 GB are available. The maximum
hard disk capacity is thus 240 GB (2x120 GB).
SAS HDD modules are available with capacities of 36 GB, 73 GB or 146 GB.
The maximum hard disk capacity is thus 292 GB (2x146 GB).

BX620 S5 Operating Manual 9
Preface Performance features
You can replace or add HDD modules during operation (hot-plug) without
having to remove the server blade cover. The installation/replacement of HDD
modules is described in the chapter “CSS components” on page 79.
Storage modules
The hard disks are controlled by a storage module (controller) that can be
plugged into the system board. The storage module can also have other
functions. Altogether, there are three different variants to choose from: SAS,
SAS/MegaRAID and SAS/PCIe. The PCIe variant allows the installation of low-
profile PCIe boards.
You install/replace storage modules via the front of the server blade without
having to remove the housing cover. However, you cannot do this during
operation (no hot-plug). To do this, you must switch the server blade off instead.
The installation/replacement of storage modules is described in the Options
Guide.
LAN availability
The BX620 S4 Server Blade has three onboard LAN controllers with TOE and
iSCSI functionality, which each provide two 1Gbit/s Ethernet channels. The
connection to the Ethernet LAN is via switch blades or pass-thru blades on the
rear of the basic unit. You will find more details in the operating manual for the
basic unit.
Graphics controller
The BX620 S4 Server Blade has an onboard graphics controller. A monitor can
be connected via the VGA interface (via breakout cable) to the front of the server
blade or via the KVM blade to the rear of the basic unit.
Optional Fibre Channel or Ethernet I/O module (daughter card)
The BX620 S4 Server Blade can be equipped with an I/O daughter card for
connection to a SAN or for additional Ethernet connections.
The following I/O daughter cards are available:
– 4 Gbit/s Fibre Channel I/O module (PCIe), which enables transfer rates of 1,
2 or 4 Gbit/s and supports multiple FC storage subsystems with corre-
sponding versions.

Performance features Preface
© cognitas. Gesellschft für Technik-Dokumentation mbH 2009 Pfad: W:\Anwendungsdaten\FCT\tim_local\work\PICHOL\OBJ_DOKU-4480-003.fm
IThis I/O module can only be used in a BX600 S3 basic unit and only
with a 4/4 Gbit/s FC switch blade. You will find more information on
this in the operating manual for the BX600 S3 basic unit.
– 1 Gbit Ethernet I/O module (PCIe), which also supports TOE (TCP/IP
Offload Engine) and iSCSI.
– 10 Gbit Ethernet I/O module (PCIe)
IThis I/O module can only be used in a BX600 S3 basic unit and only
with a 10 Gbit switch blade 10/2. You will find more information on this
in the operating manual for the BX600 S3 basic unit.
To allow use of 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 the NET3 slot of the basic unit.
IIt is not possible to mix different I/O modules in one basic unit.
The installation of I/O modules at a later time is described in the Options Guide.
Accessible Drives
Accessible drives (e.g. floppy disk or DVD drives) can be connected via the two
USB ports (via breakout cable) on the front of the server blade while the system
is running.
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 may replace the following components yourself for a
server blade in the event of an error:
– Hot-plug hard disk drives
– Memory modules
The CSS indicator on the control panel of the server blade informs you if a CSS
event arises. For more information on the behavior of this indicator, see the
chapter “Installation and operation” on page 39 and the "PRIMERGY
ServerView Suite Local Service Concept - LSC" manual on the PRIMERGY
ServerView Suite DVD 2.
