Both 10 GbE ports are routed to the I/O bay 2 of the BladeCenter S chassis and operate at 1 Gbps speed. The only CFFh adapter that is supported in servers that are installed in the BladeCenter S is the 2/4 Port Ethernet Expansion Card (CFFh) for BladeCenter, 44W4479. The BladeCenter S chassis supports internal disk storage with the addition of one or two Disk Storage Modules (DSMs). Two DSMs are available as shown in the following table - a 6-drive DSM supporting 3.5-inch hot-swap disk drives and a 12-drive DSM supporting 2.5-inch hot-swap disk drives. Shows the BladeCenter S with the 6-drive DSMs installed. The following figure shows the 12-drive DSM.Figure 5. BladeCenter S with two BladeCenter S 12-Disk Storage ModulesThe DSM is fundamentally a collection of disk drives that are made accessible to blade servers through a SAS switch module in the chassis and a SAS expansion card in each blade.

You can install a maximum of two DSMs in the BladeCenter S chassis. The following table shows the ordering information. It is not supported to have one 12-drive DSM and one 6-drive DSM installed in the same chassis.Table 6. Ordering part number and feature code. Part numberFeaturecodeDescriptionMaximumsupported3BladeCenter S 6-Disk Storage Module249Y3234A3KSBladeCenter S 12-Disk Storage Module2Drives are assigned directly to blades by using built-in predefined configurations or through user-defined custom configurations. Both storage modules are accessible to all blades via a one or two SAS switch module.

The SAS switch module is responsible for both the provisioning of physical disk drives through zoning and for failover redundancy when two SAS switch modules are present.The use of the second SAS switch module provides higher levels of availability. When two SAS switch modules are installed, the modules provide redundant functionality because each module is able to access all hard disks in both storage modules.

This enterprise-class redundant architecture allows the transparent data protection of all storage that is contained within the storage modules. With this enterprise-class redundant architecture, you can conduct the online replacement of either module.The SAS Connectivity Card that is installed in each blade server connects the RAID controller in the blade server to the SAS switch in the chassis.The following table lists the drives that are supported in the 6-drive and 12-drive DSMs. The table also lists which drives are supported in by the two SAS modules. The 12-drive DSM only supports the SAS RAID Controller Module so no 2.5-inch drives are supported with the SAS Connectivity Module.Note: These supported 6 Gbps drives will operate at 3 Gbps when installed in the DSMs.Table 7.

The battery modules are installed in bays in the front of the chassis as shown in.Figure 7. The SAS Connectivity Module is a SAS expander and provides the connectivity and access between the blades and the disks in the DSMs. It also provides four external SAS ports for further connectivity.

The following data paths are controlled by predefined or user-defined zone configurations:. Internal paths in the chassis from the blades to the disks. Internal paths in the chassis from the blades to the external ports of the SAS Connectivity ModuleEach blade must have the SAS Connectivity Card (or other supported SAS card) installed in the CIOv slot to allow it to connect to the storage by using the SAS Connectivity Module. The SAS Connectivity Module only provides the connectivity between the SAS devices that are installed in the BladeCenter S; the RAID controller on the blade server provides fault tolerance.You can install up to two SAS Connectivity Modules in the BladeCenter S in I/O module bays 3 and 4. If you install only one SAS Connectivity Module, you must install it in I/O module bay 3. The following table shows the ordering part number and feature code.Table 9.

BladeCenter SAS Connectivity ModuleThe SAS Connectivity Module has the following characteristics:. SAS expander. Four external x4 links for storage servers with mini-SAS connector type (SFF-8088). 14 internal x1 links to blade servers. Serial SCSI Protocol (SSP). Serial Management Protocol (SMP) as defined in the SAS specification.

Link error detection. Power-on diagnostics and status reportingFor information about supported external SAS devices, see Chapter 4 of the BladeCenter Interoperability Guide, which is available from. The media tray for the BladeCenter S is a hot-swappable module that consists of the system LED panel, optical drive, two USB 2.0 ports, and two battery backup module bays. The system LED panel provides light path diagnostic LEDs, as well as power and location indicators.

The media tray is accessible from the front of the chassis and is shown in.The optical drive and USB ports are available to any one blade server in the chassis. The drive and USB ports cannot be shared among multiple servers. The drive and USB ports can be used to install operating systems, to update drivers, or to copy data to recordable media.For blade servers to access the drive and USB ports, they first must be assigned to a specific blade bay. This assignment is done either by physically pressing the media tray assignment button on the front of the blade server that you want or via the AMM web interface. After the drive and USB ports are assigned to a blade, they are not available to any other server in the chassis.

If the devices are reassigned to another blade server, access is immediately dropped from the first server.The following table lists the supported optical drives.Table 10. Supported optical drives.

The Serial Pass-thru Module provides six serial port connectors that can be used to attach directly to each blade server in the BladeCenter S chassis via a four-wire serial RJ-45 connector. Port connector links bypass the AMM and provide a dedicated link directly to each blade. The Serial Pass-thru Module is installed in the dedicated bay at the rear of the chassis.The following figure shows the Serial Pass-thru Module.Figure 9. Serial Pass-thru ModuleThe following table lists the ordering information.Table 11.

Serial Pass-thru Module part number and feature code. The Advanced Management Module (AMM) is a hot-swappable module that can be used to configure and manage any installed BladeCenter components. It provides system management functions and keyboard/video/mouse (KVM) multiplexing for all blade servers in the BladeCenter S unit that support KVM.

The management module communicates with all components in the BladeCenter unit, detecting their presence or absence, reporting their status, and sending alerts for error conditions when required. The chassis supports one AMM.The following figure shows the Advanced Management Module. See Figure 3 for the location of the AMM in the chassis.Figure 10. Advanced Management ModuleBladeCenter components are configured by using the AMM web-based user interface. The BladeCenter S supports up to four auto-sensing power modules, which can support either 110 V or 220 V ac power.

Two power modules are standard, and a maximum of four power modules are supported.The power modules are hot-swappable components and can be replaced easily during normal BladeCenter operation, assuming that a redundant power policy was selected in the AMM. If a power supply fails, the cooling fans inside the power supply continue to operate normally, because the power supply fans are powered from the “common” voltage from the midplane. This function is important, because the power supply fans cool the airflow to the storage modules. The following table shows the ordering information.Table 12.

Ordering part numbers and feature codes. The BladeCenter S has a three-year on-site warranty with 9x5 next-business-day terms. IBM offers the warranty service upgrades through IBM ServicePac®.
