Technical data
1 Introduction
The PRIMERGY BX900 S1 blade server is a highly compact, energy-saving
and scalable server system for installation in a 19-inch rack. The BX900 S1
system unit has 18 installation slots for dual-socket server blades in two rows
on top of each other. Six server blade slots can be fitted with storage blades
which provide additional storage capacity for the neighboring server blades.
With its advanced infrastructure modules, the BX900 S1 system unit offers the
server blades a high level of connectivity and availability. These include hot-plug
connection blades, redundant management blades and power supply units, the
server management of the ServerView suite, Prefailure Detection and
Analyzing (PDA), and Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart (ASR&R).
Security functions in the BIOS-setup of the server blades and on the system
boards protect the data on the blade server from manipulation. Additional
security is provided by the lockable rack door.
The BX900 S1 system unit takes up 10 height units (U) in the rack.
