Introduction
Cooling
Cooling of the system is ensured by two fans in each power supply unit and by
the fan modules. Each of the fan units contains 2 fans. The fan modules have
the same aspect ratio as the power supply units. Empty power supply
installation bays must be fitted with fan modules. The configuration is redundant
and offers hot-swap functionality (for more information, see "Hot-plug power
supply units" on page 119).
High level of availability and failure protection
ASR&R (Automatic Server Reconfiguration and Restart) restarts the system in
the event 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 that are critical for
system reliability.
The hot-swap components provide additional failure protection. Failure
protection for the entire system is ensured by four redundant hot-swap power
supply units as well as redundant hot-swap fans.
Server management
Server management is implemented using the ServerView Operations Manager
supplied and the PDA (Prefailure Detection and Analysis) technology from
Fujitsu. PDA reports the threat of a system error or overload at an early stage,
allowing preventive measures to be taken.
The ServerView Operations Manager enables the management of all
PRIMERGY servers in the network via a central console. The ServerView
Operations Manager supports the following functions:
●
●
Round-the-clock monitoring, regardless of server status
High-performance, graphical console bypass (AVR) protected by
HTTPS/SSL (128 bit)
●
●
●
●
Remote storage via USB

Service and support
PRIMERGY servers are easy to maintain and modular, thus enabling quick and
simple maintenance.
The handles and locks (touch points) on the various hot pluggable components
are colored green to ensure simple and immediate recognition.
In order to prevent the components from being damaged by incorrect handling
when they are being installed and removed, the areas of all components that
can be touched without damaging them are also marked green.
The redundant management blades and the optional remote test and
diagnostics system ServerView Remote Management allows the PRIMERGY
BX400 S1 blade servers to be serviced from a remote system. This enables
remote diagnosis for system analysis, remote configuration and remote restart
should the operating system or hardware fail.

Connecting the system unit to the mains
The system unit has four bays for hot-swap power supply units. In the base
configuration, it is fitted with one power supply unit.
V
CAUTION!
●
●
Read the information on determining how many power supply units
are required (see "Hot-plug power supply units" on page 119).
The power supply units automatically adjust to a mains voltage
between 100 - 240 V. The system unit may only be used if the local
mains voltage is within the voltage range of the system.
●
The 1600 W power supply units may only be connected to 16 A
power outlets, a UPS, a 32 A power distribution unit, or CEE sockets.
When ordering the system unit, you must specify which socket type
is available at the installation location, so that the cables with the
appropriate C19 connectors can be supplied.
–
For the Japanese market:
The 1600W power supply units may only be connected to NEMA
L6-15, IEC 60320-C20, or NEMA 5-15 sockets.
●
Always connect the cable first to the power supply unit and then to the
mains.
Ê
First connect the insulated C19 connector of the power cable to the power
supply units of the system unit, and then plug the connector into the UPS,
power distribution unit or an external socket. The system can be configured
to support *True AC redundancy or non-AC redundancy.
I
True AC redundancy is recommended for systems used for critical
business applications. This will result in the system to continue operation
during a power failure as the redundant part of the subsystem is plugged
I into a separate AC source [e.g. uninterruptable power supply (UPS)).
Refer to tables below for maximum DC loading for both AC redundant
and AC non redundant configurations.

●
Make sure you observe the safety notes and the information on
handling electrostatic-sensitive devices in the section "Modules with
Electrostatic-Sensitive Devices" on page 32.
●
●
Beware of the energy hazard at the midplane contacts. A short circuit
on these contacts may damage the system.
The server blade boots automatically after installation in the
system unit.
When you install a server blade in an active system unit, the server
blade automatically performs a Power-On Self-Test (POST) and then
switches itself off.
If the system unit is switched off when you install the server blade, the
automatic POST is performed immediately after you switch on the
system unit.
●
Any unused server blade slots must be fitted with dummy modules to
comply with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) regulations and to
ensure sufficient cooling of the system components.

8.2.2.1 Connection blade stacking
Up to 4 Connection Blades GbE Switch/IBP 36/8+2 can be switched together to
form a so-called stack. One of the connection blades takes on the role of the
master. This connection blade is used to administer all modules of the stack. All
modules of a stack act as one connection blade. In this way, connection blade
stacking offers a large number of ports with minimum administrative effort.
The connections within a stack are established through the stacking ports of the
connection blades. The internal stacking ports to the midplane of the system
unit are each used to connect two connection blades that are installed in the
same fabric, i.e. in two adjacent slots. Connection blades in different fabrics are
connected through the external ports using CX4 cables.
Figure 27: CX4 cable
The stacking connections within a stack must form a circuit. Connection blade
stacks can be formed within a system unit, across several system units of a rack
or across several system units in different racks.
Further information
You determine which connection blade takes on the master role through the
sequence and the intervals at which the connection blades are booted and
connected with each other. For more detailed information and additional
possible configurations, see the manuals "PRIMERGY BX900 Blade Server
Systems – Ethernet Connection Blade Module IBP Version – User’s Guide",
"PRIMERGY BX900 Blade Server Systems – Ethernet Connection Blade
Module Switch Version – User’s Guide" and " スイッチブレード（10Gbps 18/8）

Management blades
Figure 41: management blade
The PRIMERGY BX400 S1 system unit has slots for two redundant, hot-swap
management blades with an integrated management solution for complete
remote administration of the system. The basic configuration of the BX400 S1
system unit contains one management blade.
The management blades offer user-friendly user interfaces: a Web interface
and a console menu interface via Telnet protocol. For a detailed description, see
the manual "PRIMERGY BX400 Blade Server Systems ServerView
Management Blade S1 User Interface Description".
The slots for the management blades are located on the back of the system unit
(see figure 8 on page 49).
A management blade is installed and removed in the same way as a connection
blade (see "Installing a connection blade" on page 112).
V
CAUTION!
After installing the management blade, it is necessary to update the
management blade firmware. Use for the update the management blade
web interface, see "PRIMERGY BX400 Blade Server Systems
ServerView Management Blade S1 User Interface Description".
When two management blades are installed, make sure that both
management blades (master/slave) have the same firmware version.

Hot-plug power supply units
The BX400 S1 system unit has 4 bays for hot-plug power supply units (PSU
1-4). The power supply units adapt automatically to any voltage within the range
100 V - 127 V / 200 V - 240 V.
All bays for power supply units are fitted with flaps which close automatically.
This ensures sufficient cooling of the system components when you replace a
power supply unit or fan module during operation.
The PSU bays must be fitted according to their numbering. Unoccupied PSU
bays must be fitted with fan modules to ensure that the system components are
properly cooled, see "Hot-plug fan modules" on page 123.
PSU 1
PSU 2
PSU 3
PSU 4
Figure 42: Numbering of the power supply unit bays
In the minimum configuration, the BX400 S1 system unit contains one hot swap
power supply unit (PSU1). This enables a fully populated BX400 S1 system unit
to run in low power mode. Full power mode requires at least two PSUs in 200
V environments or three PSUs in 100 V environments.
To provide a redundant power supply, a third or fourth power supply unit can be
installed (PSU3 and PSU4) in 200 V environments. In 100 V environments a
fourth power supply unit (PSU4) is required to provide a redundant power
supply. If one of the four power supply units fails, the other two/three units will
ensure the system unit continues to operate normally. The defective power
supply unit can be replaced while the system unit is still running (hot swap).

CAUTION!
If a power supply unit fails in a non-redundant configuration of power
supply units, and the remaining power supply units do not provide
I sufficient power, the system unit is shut down immediately.
Make sure that the individual power supply units are connected to
different AC sources. This ensures additional AC source redundancy for
high-availability configurations. If only one AC source fails, the power
supply units connected to the other AC sources remain operational.
