KVM-Blade
For administering the server blades, the PRIMERGY BX600 S2 basic unit offers
a KVM blade, which allows the individual server blades to be connected to a
console.
– The standard KVM blade allows a monitor, PS2 keyboard and PS2 mouse
to be connected for local administration of the server blades.
– The adv. KVM blade offers the same functionality as the standard version
of the KVM blade plus a LAN port for connecting a Web-based console.
– The digital KVM blade offers the same functionality as the standard version
of the KVM blade plus a LAN port for connecting a Web-based console.
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 Siemens
Computers 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.
