General information
The Blade Server Concept
The Blade Server System concept is a modular concept which separates the
I/O functionality (switch blade, SCSI blade, FC pass-thru blade) from the CPU
(server blade). Two management blades with an integrated management
solution for complete redundant remote administration of the system are also
implemented. Fault tolerance on a complete blade system level is also
maintained by using 3+1 redundant, hot-swap power supply units (PSU), as well
as hot-swap, redundant fans.
A fully redundant, hot-swap design of the server blade ensures that blades can
be added or exchanged without interruption of service. The compact design
allows up to 10 server blades to be installed in a chassis of only 7 HU (height
units) in a 19-inch rack.
The figure below shows the front of the BX600 system unit and the numbering
of the server blade slots.
