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

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.
I
For 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.

Figure 12: Connecting the basic unit to the mains
Ê
First connect the C19 connector of the power cables to the power supply
units of the basic unit (1), and then plug the power plug (2) into the USV,
power distribution unit (PDU) or into an external socket.
V
CAUTION!
Always connect the power cable to the power supply units first, and then
I to the mains.
Please make sure that each of the power supply units is connected to a
different phase. This will provide you with additional phase redundancy
for high availability configurations. If one phase has failed, the power
supply units connected to the other phases keep active. You can get full
phase redundancy with up to three power supply units. With four power
supply units, two of them are to be connected to one phase (see also
“Related Publications” on page 157).
Phase redundancy is possible in regions, where a single phase provides
200 - 240V; in other regions with lower single phase voltage, two phases
must be coupled and complete phase redundancy thus is not possible.

Server Blades
This chapter describes how to install and uninstall server blades and server
blade dummy modules in the PRIMERGY BX600 S3 basic unit, and what you
need to be aware of when doing this.
The information necessary for installing and operating the various server blade
models can be found in separate manuals (see “Related Publications” on

Port Assignment of the LAN Switch Blades
For each of the ten server blade slots, connections to a maximum of 6 ports of
the onboard LAN controller and to 2 ports of the optional Gigabit Ethernet
daughter card are available in the BX600 S3 basic unit. With 4-way
server blades, the number of connections increases accordingly.
The LAN I/O blade in the NET1 slot is connected to port A of the onboard LAN
controller of the installed server blades. The LAN I/O blade in slot NET2 is
connected to port B of the onboard LAN controller. In the same way, the LAN
I/O blades in slots NET3 and NET4 are connected to port A and B of the gigabit
Ethernet daughter cards.

12 Power Supply Concept
In the basic configuration, the PRIMERGY BX600 S3 basic unit contains two
hot swap power supply units (PSU1 and PSU2 in figure 69). The power supply
units adapt automatically to any voltage within the range 200 V - 240 V.
PSU4
PSU3
PSU2
PSU1
Figure 69: PRIMERGY BX600 S3 basic unit: power supply units

If one of the four power units fails, the other two/three units will ensure the unit
continues to operate normally. The defective power supply unit can be replaced
while the unit is still running (hot swap).
I
Please make sure that each of the power supply units is connected to a
different phase. This will provide you with additional phase redundancy
for high availability configurations. If one phase has failed, the power
supply units connected to the other phases keep active. You can get full
phase redundancy with up to three power supply units. With four power
supply units, two of them are to be connected to one phase (see also
“Related Publications” on page 157).

Notes on power cabling
Power Supply Concept
Phase redundancy is possible in regions, where a single phase provides
200 - 240V; in other regions with lower single phase voltage, two phases
must be coupled and complete phase redundancy thus is not possible.
The unoccupied PSU slots are fitted with dummy modules to ensure that the
electromagnetic emission properties of the system are observed and that the
system components are properly cooled.
12.1 Notes on power cabling
Due to the high power requirements of the BX600 S3 blade server, you must be
careful when arranging the power cabling. Be sure to take into account local
conditions such as mains voltage and UPS solution.
The configuration examples below illustrate different power cabling options for
a BX600 S3 basic unit fitted with four power supply units.
Single basic unit with a single phase input
Phase 1
Figure 70: Basic unit with a single phase input
This is the simplest of the configuration options. All 4 power supply units are
connected to the same phase. This would require a single phase providing suffi-
cient power.
This power cabling option does not provide phase redundancy and therefore is
not recommended.

Phase 3
Figure 71: Single basic unit with a 3-phase input
This power cabling option provides you with additional phase redundancy for
high-availability configurations. If one phase fails, the power supply units
connected to the other phases remain active. You can get full phase redundancy
with up to three power supply units. You should therefore connect the redundant
power supply units PSU3 and PSU4 to one phase.
This power cabling option is recommended if high availability is required and a
connection via UPS is not possible.

12.2 Power Supply Units
The power supply units (PSU) are directly accessible at the rear of the system
(figure 69 on page 125):
The power supply unit can communicate with the system service processor via
an internal management interface (IIC bus). The PSU part number, FRU data,
barcode number, manufacturer ID, and fault data are stored in a VPD EEPROM
module and can be recalled via the IIC bus. The PSU status can be displayed
in the server management software ServerView.
Each power supply unit has a large fan on the front (A) and two smaller fans on
the rear (B) that provide air cooling for the system (see figure 75 below).

When a fan in a fan or power supply unit/PSU dummy module fails, the amber
front identify LED (see figure 14 on page 50) on the front panel blinks. You can
find out which unit is defective by checking the fan status via the server mana-
gement software ServerView.
I
Even though the system can continue operating with a defective fan, the
defective fan or power supply unit/PSU dummy module should be
replaced as soon as possible.
For how to replace a power supply unit/PSU dummy module, see section
“Replacing a Power Supply Unit” on page 133.
Due to the hot-swap architecture, replacement is also possible during operation.
