PRIMERGY BX600 S2 Basic Unit 7

Introduction

1 Introduction

The PRIMERGY BX600 S2 Blade Server System represents a highly compact,

power-saving and scalable servers for integration in 19-inch rack systems.

Figure 1: PRIMERGY BX600 S2 Basic Unit

The PRIMERGY BX600 S2 basic unit occupies seven height units in the rack

and can accommodate up to ten server blades of different models and configu-

rations.

As economical, ultra-compact systems, the server blades with up to eight CPUs

are ideal for use by company data centers and Internet service providers. They

are perfectly suited for large application servers, terminal servers for CPU-

intensive applications, and DBMS servers.

The PRIMERGY BX600 S2 Blade Server System offers a high level of reliability

and availability through highly developed hardware and software components.

This includes hot-swappable server blades, switch blades, Fibre Channel (FC)

and Ethernet pass-thru blades, management blades, hot-swappable power

supply units and fan modules, the server management software ServerView, and

Remote-Deploy, Prefailure Detection and Analyzing (PDA), and Automatic Server

Reconfiguration and Restart (ASR&R).
