English Fujitsu Server BS2000 SE Series Basic Operating Manual Valid for: SE700(B) / SE500(B) / SE300(B) (basic software V6.2A and higher) SE710 / SE310 (basic software V6.3A and higher) Edition December 2019...
1 Introduction With the FUJITSU Server BS2000 SE Series (SE servers), FUJITSU offers a server infrastructure which consists of two server lines. Depending on requirements, an SE server contains all the system components needed for operation as an overall application:...
The above server models are combined into two server lines: SE /390 for FUJITSU Server BS2000 SE700 / SE700B / SE710 / SE500, i.e. for SE servers with an SU /390 SE x86 for FUJITSU Server BS2000 SE300 / SE300B / SE310, i.e. for SE servers with SU x86 only resp.
Page 10
HNC (High-speed Net Connect) The HNC connects the Server Unit /390 to the LAN and as a net client enables the BS2000 systems on the SU /390 to access the Net-Storage. HNC refers to both the Linux-based basic software and the hardware unit itself on which this basic software runs. NU (Net Unit) The NU enables the connection of an SE server to the customer network (LAN/SAN).
Further literature is listed in Related publications. Detailed information on the various hardware components and interfaces of the SE servers is provided in the data sheet "FUJITSU Server BS2000 SE Series". See the product site for the relevant server at https://www.fujitsu.com/emeia/products/computing/servers/mainframe...
The Operating Manual for the servers of the SE Series consists of a number of modules and describes the features and hardware components of the FUJITSU Servers BS2000 of the SE Series. Users should read this manual carefully in order to obtain optimal performance from the SE server.
1.4 Summary of contents This operating manual deals with the hardware-related display and operating functions of the FUJITSU BS2000 servers of the SE Series. The chapter "Important notes" contains important information on the installation and safe operation of the SE server and the components.

Figure 6: System components SE710 (basic configuration on the left, with optional components on the right)
3.1.2 Expanded maintenance and operational functions The equipment maintenance feature of the SE server is designed to prevent fault events occurring. The Management Unit monitors the hardware status of the Management Unit, Server Unit(s) and Application Unit(s). Detected faults are displayed in the SE Manager and reported to the vendor's Support Center via remote service. At every Management Unit, the SE Manager shows the hardware status of all Management Units, Server Units and Application Units of the respective SE server configuration.
4.1 Basic rack The components of the SE server are integrated into the basic rack, a 19-inch standard rack. In the case of the SE700/SE710 and SE500 the control panel is located on the front (see section "Control panel (on the SE /390)" ).
4.2 Extension rack The extension rack is a 19-inch standard rack which accommodates additional components for which there is no more space in the basic rack. Figure 9: SE server with an extension rack (e.g. SE700 and SE700B)
Page 35
Figure 10: SE710 with two extension racks In all an SE server can comprise at most four extension racks.
4.3 Power supply The devices in the racks are supplied with power over power distribution units (PDUs). SE /390 By default a basic rack contains four PDUs, each with 8 or 11 x C13 outlets. Each PDU is connected to the in-house power grid with CEE connectors 32A resp. 16A (SE710) blue. For redundancy reasons, two phases are required.
Page 37
The power cables must be connected in such a manner that the power consumption of the rack components does not exceed the maximum rated current of the circuit’s fuse and the maximum permissible current of the fuses in the power distribution unit in the rack. Free sockets in the power distribution unit may not be used to connect other devices.

5.2 Console switch The monitor, keyboard and mouse port of the integrated rack console are connected to the corresponding ports on the integrated units (Management Unit, Server Unit x86, HNC, and Application Unit) and thus attached to one of them. By default, the rack console is attached to the first Management Unit.
5.3 Control panel (on the SE /390) At the front of the basic rack on the SE /390, a control panel is located on the outside. The control panel is connected to the service processor (SVP) of the SU700/SU710 resp. SU500 of the SE server. Further information on the SU700/SU710 and SU500 is provided in the "Server Unit /390"...
