Chapter 1 Overview
1.1 BX600 Blade Server
This blade server has the following features.
■High Performance / High Integration
PRIMERGY BX600 is a blade server that consists of a chassis and multiple blades.
It is a sophisticated high-performance blade server that enables you to efficiently install a server blade,
monitoring device, LAN switching hub, power supply unit, fan, fibre channels, and so on in a 7U
(height: approx. 31 cm) chassis due to its high-performance and highly-integrated design.
The blade server consists of the following components:
●Chassis (or Case)
The following blades can be installed on the 7U-size chassis:
• Server blades (BX620 S3 Server Blade: Max.10)
• Network blade (external connection device) (Max.4. Fibre Channel switch blade and FC Pass-Thru
Blade: Max.2)
• Management Blade (Monitoring device) (2 installed as standard)
●BX620 S3 Server Blade
This server blade contains a CPU, memory, and a hard disk in the unit (42 ×476 ×286mm).
●Network Blade
This is an option that can be connected to LAN port and Fibre Channel devices.
Refer to the manual provided with each network blade for details about network blades that are not
described in this manual.
• Switch Blade
This is a LAN switching hub that supports a Gigabit LAN.
• Fibre Channel Switch Blade
This is a switch blade that enables fibre channel connection. The switch blade supports a Brocade
Fabric Operating System (Fabric OS) and is compatible with all SilkWorm products.
• GbE Pass-Thru Blade
The GbE Pass-Thru Blade is used to connect the internal LAN ports (including a LAN Expansion
Board) in a server blade to the external LAN ports at a ratio of 1:1.
• FC Pass-Thru Blade
This blade supports fibre channel output, which is used to connect the fibre channel equipment, on a
server blade basis through the Fibre Channel Expansion Board installed in the server blade.

Overview
●Management Blade (Monitoring Device)
This blade is used to monitor the power supply, fan, and temperature in each blade and the chassis.
It is equipped with a dedicated CPU, LAN, and serial ports. This blade is independent of the server
blade, ensuring stable system operation.
The Management Blade also enables you to remotely control and monitor each blade from a
management terminal via a LAN or serial port.
■High Reliability
●Redundant Function
This server enables a redundant configuration for fan, power supply unit (optional), and Management
Blade.
The Management Blade supports the standard redundant configuration in which one unit manages the
entire system in the master mode and another one is on standby in the slave mode. In this configuration,
if the master Management Blade causes a failure, the slave blade takes over management without
interrupting system operations.

Chapter 1 Overview
●Monitoring and Remote Operations Using the Management Blade
The Management Blade enables you to monitor blades and the power supply unit, fan, and temperature
in the chassis.
You can also turn on the chassis and server blades remotely from the management terminal via the
Management Blade.
■Compact Design and Scalability
●Space-saving Design
The server, display device, keyboard, and external SCSI options fit in a 19-inch rack, which saves the
installation space.
■BX620 S3 Server Blade
●High Performance and Space Saving Features
The BX620 S3 Server Blade supports up to two Dual Core Intel®Xeon®processors as well as a SAS
(Serial Attached SCSI) interface and fibre channel interface (optional).
Up to 10 server blades can be installed in the PRIMERGY BX600 S2 Blade Server System Unit (19-
inch rack width, 7U) depending on system configurations.
●High-speed Processing
• Dual Core Intel® Xeon® Processors
The server supports up to two Dual Core Intel®Xeon®processors for high-speed data processing.
A Dual Core processor functions as two physical CPUs.
The server supports the Hyper-Threading function that uses one physical CPU as two logical CPUs,
providing high-efficiency and high-speed processing.
• PCI-Express (×8) Expansion board slot is used.
• A PCI-Express/PCI-X Expansion card slot is used.
When the Expansion card slot module (PGBCS104) is installed, PCI-Express (×4) buses with a
maximum data transfer speed of 2.5Gbps per one lane/one direction can be used. When the
Expansion card slot module (PGBCS103) is installed, PCI-X buses with a maximum data transfer
speed of 1.06GBps can be used.
•SAS
The onboard SCSI supports SAS that provides a maximum data transfer speed of 3Gbps, ensuring
high-speed data transfer.
• Server blade and Switch Blade are connected through the LAN that has a high-speed data transfer
capability (1Gbps).

Overview
●High Scalability
This server blade has high-density functions, ensuring the configuration of a large-capacity and
extensible system.
• Up to 16 GB of memory can be installed for each server blade.
• Up to two 2.5-inch internal hard disk units can be installed in each server blade.
• Each server blade can be connected to the backup device via an external SCSI (can be connected via
the SCSI card when the expansion card slot module (PGBCS103) is installed).
• Using the Fibre Channel Expansion Board (optional), a fibre channel system (SAN) can be
configured.
• When the expansion card slot module (PGBCS103 or PGBCS104) is installed, network extension
from an expansion card and connection to the backup device are enabled.
●High Reliability
• You can specify a password so that only a specific person can use the server blade.
• The server supports the Chipkill function using PC2-4200-compliant memory (DDR2 533 SDRAM)
and the spare memory function (depending on the memory configuration) to enable data recovery in
the event of a memory error.
• A disk array system (RAID1) can be configured using an onboard SAS array controller.
• The ServerView's Automatic Server Reconfiguration & Restart (ASR& R: automatic restart) function
enables you to quickly recover a server error.
• The ServerView action function enables you to view system event log (SEL) during OS operation.
• High reliability tools offer stable system operation. For information about high reliability tools, refer
to "1.2.2 High Reliability Tools" (pg.22).
