BX620 S4 Operating Manual 5

Introduction

1 Introduction

The PRIMERGY BX620 S4 Dual-Socket Server Blade is another model of the

highly compact and powerful BX6xx server blades. It is designed for the

PRIMERGY BX600 S3 basic unit but can also be operated in the BX600 S2

basic unit.

Figure 1: PRIMERGY BX620 S4 Server Blade

The PRIMERGY BX620 S4 server blade offers several new forward-looking

technologies such as dual-core processors, FBD memory modules with

extended mirroring, modular hard disk controller configuration and 2.5-inch SAS

or SATA hard disks.

The new modular hard disk controller concept with four storage module variants

allows you to create different configurations with SAS and SATA hard disks for

different scenarios. The configuration options range from the low-cost-platform

with SATA hard disks up to the high-end platform with SAS hard disks and an

SAS storage module with RAID 5 and cache/iTBBU.

Six onboard Ethernet channels with iSCSI support are available as communica-

tions interfaces; optionally, two Fibre Channel (FC) channels or two additional

Ethernet channels are available.

6 Operating Manual BX620 S4

Overview of the Documentation Introduction

IIn the BX600 S2 basic unit, only two of the six onboard Ethernet

channels of the BX620 S4 server blade can be used.

Security functions in the BIOS setup protect the data on the server blade from

unauthorized manipulation.

The BX620 S4 server blade occupies one slot in the PRIMERGY BX600 S2 or

BX600 S3 basic unit. It can be installed in combination with other server blade

models.

1.1 Overview of the Documentation

IPRIMERGY manuals are available in PDF format on the ServerBooks

DVD. The ServerBooks DVD is part of the ServerView Suite supplied with

every server.

The PDF files of the manuals can also be downloaded free of charge

from the Internet. The overview page showing the online documentation

available on the Internet can be found using the URL:

http://manuals.fujitsu-siemens.com. The PRIMERGY server documentation

can be accessed using the Industry standard servers navigation option.

If you need a replacement copy of the ServerBooks DVD, send the

details of your server to the following e-mail address: Reklamat-PC-

[email protected]

Concept and Target Groups

This operating manual shows you how to install the server blade in the basic

unit, how to start up the server blade and how to operate it.

This manual is intended for those responsible for installing the hardware and

ensuring that the system runs smoothly. It explains all you need to know to get

your BX620 S4 server blade up and running.

For all information on installing and operating server blades that applies to all

server blade models, see the basic unit operating manual (see “Related Publi-

cations” on page 75).

To understand the various expansion options, you will need to be familiar with

the fields of hardware and data transmission and you will require a basic

knowledge of the underlying operating system.

8 Operating Manual BX620 S4

Features Introduction

1.2 Features

CPU

In the BX620 S4 Server Blade, one (basic configuration) or two dual-core

processors of type Intel®XEON®DC ensure extremely high data throughput

and system performance.

For how to upgrade processors, see the Options Guide; for how to replace

processors, see the Service Supplement.

VCAUTION!

It is not possible to use CPUs with different clock rates or cache capac-

ities in the BX620 S4 Server Blade.

Memory

The BX620 S4 Server Blade has two memory banks (branches) with four slots

each. These can be fitted with 512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB or 4 GB fully buffered DIMM

533-MHz or 667-MHz memory modules. This allows a maximum memory

configuration of 32 GB if 4-GB modules are used. Memory Mirroring Mode and

ChipKill™ are standard.

The standard base configuration has two memory modules so that the server

has, depending on the DIMM size, 1, 2, 4 or 8 GB on board. As there is a total

of eight slots available, up to six additional memory modules can therefore be

added. Only memory modules of the same capacity can be installed in the same

memory bank.

How to install memory modules is described in the Options Guide.

Hard Disk Drives

The BX620 S4 Server Blade can accommodate up to two 2.5-inch hard disk

modules (either SAS or SATA).

SATA offers 60-GB disks. This allows a maximum hard disk capacity of the

BX620 S4 Server Blade of 120 (2x60) GB.

SAS offers 36-GB, 73-GB or 146 GB disks. This allows a maximum hard disk

capacity of 292 GB (2x146) GB.

BX620 S4 Operating Manual 9

Introduction Features

The hard disk modules can be replaced or added while the system is running

(hot-plug), without having to take off the server blade cover. How to

install/replace hard disk modules is described in chapter “Hot-Plug Compo-

nents” on page 65.

Storage Modules

The hard disks are controlled by a storage module (controller) that can be

plugged into the motherboard and which may also have additional functions.

SATA only offers one storage module variant, while SAS offers a total of four

different variants: SAS, SAS/MegaRAID, SAS/PCI-X and SAS/PCIe. The two

PCI variants allow the installation of low-profile PCI modules.

Storage modules can be installed/replaced via the front of the server blade,

without having to take off the housing cover. However, they cannot be replaced

while the system is running (non-hot-plug) - the server blade must be switched

off.

How to install/replace storage modules is described in the Options Guide.

LAN Availability

The BX620 S4 Server Blade has three onboard LAN controllers with TOE and

iSCSI functionality each with two 1-Gbit/s Ethernet channels. The Ethernet LAN

connection can be implemented via switch blades or via pass-thru blades on the

back of the PRIMERGY BX600 S2 or BX600 S3 basic unit. For more information

see the Operating Manual for the basic unit.

Optional Fibre Channel or Ethernet I/O Module (daughter card)

The BX620 S4 Server Blade can be equipped with an I/O daughter card for the

connection to a SAN or for additional Ethernet connections.

The following I/O daughter cards are available:

– 2-Gbit/s Fibre Channel I/O module with an onboard QLogic ISP2312 chip,

compatible with Qlogic QLA2342; supports several FC storage subsystems

with the corresponding versions.

10 Operating Manual BX620 S4

Features Introduction

– 4 Gbit/s Fibre Channel I/O module (PCIe), enables transfer rates of 1, 2 or 4

Gbit/s and supports multiple FC storage subsystems with the corresponding

versions.

IThis I/O module can only be operated in a BX600 S3 basic unit with

an FC Switch Blade Brocade SW-4016 D4. For more information, see

the operating manual for the BX600 S3 basic unit.

– Gigabit Ethernet I/O module (PCI-X)

– Gigabit Ethernet I/O module (PCIe), additionally supports TOE (TCP/IP

Offload Engine) and iSCSI

– 10 Gbit Ethernet I/O module (PCIe)

IThis I/O module can only be operated in a 10-Gbit Switch Blade 10/2.

For more information, see the operating manual for your basic unit.

To use the additional I/O functionality, at least one Fibre Channel pass-thru

blade or switch blade, or an Ethernet pass-thru or switch blade, must be

installed in slot NET3 of the basic unit.

IYou cannot mix different I/O modules in a PRIMERGY BX600 S2 or

BX600 S3 basic unit.

How to install I/O modules later is described in the Options Guide.

Graphics Controller

The BX620 S4 Server Blade has a 16 MB onboard ATI ES1000 graphics

controller. A monitor can be connected via the VGA port (via breakout cable) on

the front of the server blade or via the KVM blade at the back of the basic unit.

Accessible Drives

Accessible drives (e.g. floppy disk or DVD drives) can be connected via the two

USB ports (via breakout cable) on the front of the server blade while the system

is running.

High Availability and Data Security

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.
