Before reading this manual

For your safety

This manual contains important information for safely and correctly using this product.

Aluminum electrolytic capacitors

The aluminum electrolytic capacitors used in the product's printed circuit board assemblies and in the mouse and keyboard are limited-life components. Use of these components beyond their operating life may result in electrolyte leakage or depletion, potentially causing emission of foul odor or smoke.

As a guideline, in a normal office environment (25°C) operating life is not expected to be reached within the maintenance support period (5 years). However, operating life may be reached more quickly if, for example, the product is used in a hot environment. The customer shall bear the cost of replacing replaceable components which have exceeded their operating life. Note that these are only guidelines, and do not constitute a guarantee of trouble-free operation during the maintenance support period.

High safety use

This product has been designed and manufactured to be used in commercial and/or industrial areas as a server.

When used as visual display workplace, it must not be placed in the direct field of view to avoid incommoding reflections (applies only to TX server systems).

The device has not been designed or manufactured for uses which demand an extremely high level of safety and carry a direct and serious risk of life or body if such safety cannot be assured.

30 Upgrade and Maintenance Manual BX900 S2

Important information

● Always connect the server and the attached peripherals to the same power circuit. Otherwise you run the risk of losing data if, for example, the server is still running but a peripheral device (e.g. memory subsystem) fails during a power outage.

● Data cables must be adequately shielded.

● Ethernet cabling has to comply with EN 50173 and EN 50174-1/2 standards or ISO/IEC 11801 standard respectively. The minimum requirement is a Category 5 shielded cable for 10/100 Ethernet, or a Category 5e cable for Gigabit Ethernet.

● Route the cables in such a way that they do not create a potential hazard (make sure no-one can trip over them) and that they cannot be damaged. When connecting the server, refer to the relevant instructions in this manual.

● Never connect or disconnect data transmission lines during a storm (risk of lightning hazard).

● Make sure that no objects (e.g. jewelry, paperclips etc.) or liquids can get inside the server (risk of electric shock, short circuit).

● In emergencies (e.g. damaged casing, controls or cables, penetration of liquids or foreign bodies), contact the system administrator or your customer service team. Only disconnect the system from the mains power supply if there is no risk of harming yourself.

● Proper operation of the system (in accordance with IEC 60950-1 resp. EN 60950-1) is only ensured if the casing is completely assembled and the rear covers for the installation slots have been fitted (electric shock, cooling, fire protection, interference suppression).

● Only install system expansions that satisfy the requirements and rules governing safety and electromagnetic compatibility and those relating to telecommunication terminals. If you install other expansions, they may damage the system or violate the safety regulations. Information on which system expansions are approved for installation can be obtained from our customer service center or your sales outlet.

● The components marked with a warning notice (e.g. lightning symbol) may only be opened, removed or exchanged by authorized, qualified personnel. Exception: CSS components can be replaced.

● The warranty is void if the server is damaged during installation or replacement of system expansions.

The BX900 S2 system unit has 6 bays for hot-plug PSUs (PSU 1-6). There are two types of PSUs available, standard PSU and High Efficiency PSU (hereinafter referred to as HE PSU), see the "PRIMERGY BX900 S2 Blade Server System Unit Operating Manual".

I The information in this section applies to both standard PSUs and high efficiency PSUs.

6.1.1 Power supply redundancy

Figure 13: Numbering of the PSU bays

In the minimum configuration, bays PSU 2, PSU 3 and PSU 6 are fitted with PSUs. The remaining bays are free.

Depending on the system unit configuration, the remaining bays must be fitted with further PSUs or with fan modules. Make sure you observe the following order: PSU 5 – PSU 1 – PSU 4. The required number of PSUs and fan modules

PSU 1 PSU 2 PSU 3

PSU 4 PSU 5 PSU 6

V CAUTION!

If a PSU fails in a non-redundant configuration of PSUs, and the remaining PSUs do not provide sufficient power, the system unit is shut down immediately.

I Make sure that the individual PSUs are connected to different phases. This ensures additional phase redundancy for high availability configurations. If only one phase fails, the PSUs connected to the other phases remain operational. You can achieve full phase redundancy with three PSUs. If more PSUs are installed, up to two PSUs must be connected to each individual phase (for information on the electrical connections, see the technical manual for the PRIMECENTER rack).

Phase redundancy is possible in regions where the single phase provides 200 - 240V; in other regions with lower single-phase voltage, two phases have to be coupled, which means that full phase redundancy is not possible.

6.1.2 Cooling requirements

The BX900 S2 system unit is divided into 6 cooling zones. To achieve optimum cooling of all components, the 6 cooling zones on the front and back of the system unit must be fitted equally.

The following examples show how the various configurations of slots for PSUs and fan modules as well as for server blades and/or storage blades should be fitted.

V CAUTION!

Any unused server blade slots must be fitted with dummy modules, see "Installing a dummy server blade module" on page 59.

8.4.2 Connection blade stacking

Up to 8 Connection Blades GbE Switch/IBP 36/8+2 (SB11) can be operated 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 BX900 S2 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 39: CX4 cable

The stacking connections within a stack must form a circuit. Connection blade stacks can be formed within a BX900 S2 system unit, across several system units of a rack or across several system units in different racks.

The possible cabling scenarios are shown in the following diagrams, with the connections identified as follows:

Internal connection within a fabric via the midplaneCX4 cable, 0.5 mCX4 cable, 3 m

9 Management Blades

9.1 Basic information

The PRIMERGY BX900 S2 system unit has slots for two management blades for complete remote administration of the system, MMB 1 and MMB 2 in figure "PRIMERGY BX900 S2 system unit rear" on page 176. The basic configuration of the BX900 S2 system unit contains one management blade.

If two management blades are installed in the system unit, one will take over the role of the master, who is in charge of the server management, while the other one will take over the slave role and remain in a standby status as a redundant component. As soon as the master fails to work properly, for instance, when unplugged by the system administrator, the standby component will take over control of the server management.

For a detailed description, see the manual "PRIMERGY BX900 Blade Server Systems ServerView Management Blade S1 User Interface Description".

V CAUTION!

When installing or replacing a management blade, make sure that the new management blade has the required firmware version.

– If two management blades are installed in the system unit, the firmware version of the slave management blade must match the firmware version of the master.

– If one management blade is installed in the system unit, the firmware version of the new management blade must be at least equal to the firmware version of the old one.

If the firmware version of the old management blade is unknown, you must update the firmware to the latest version.
