Proof-Points Advantages

See how we do it!

PRIMERGY BX400: Green

Reduce your electric bill by up to 30 percent, put less strain on the air conditioning, and reduce the IT related CO2 emissions.


Use up to 30% less power and push less hot air into the data center

Reduced risk associated with heat failures and double the lifetime of electronically components

PSU dynamic mode automatically shifts power load to maximize the efficiency of each power supply needed to power the system

See and understand power usage and thermal impact and resolve issues before they impact cost or performance.

Operate at the most efficient levels without compromising reliability

Improved efficiency through consolidation and Cool-safe™ design

Highly efficient PSUs with “Dynamic power Mode” to maximize efficiency

Intelligent Power Management

Low noise (45dB) mode

Selectable power consumption modes (e.g. adaptive mode)

59


Air inlet area for all blades in a chassis

Cool-safe™ airflow What it is and why it is good for you?

BCS: 14% C3000: 14% BX400: 26%

Cool-safe™ Technology

The Cool-safe™ technology provides you with best-in-class cooling concept for increased lifetime, stable performance and reduced energy consumption.


The PSUs includes big fans to cool CPUs and memory directly and more quietly

The airflow design assures that cold air is available for the server blades as well as for the switch area

The switch area will get cold air via a bypass on the left and right side of the BX400 System

Benefits:

Cool-safe™ design cuts temperature by 10°C and doubles lifetime!

Prevent from overheating by keep cool air coming into the system, and moving the hot air out of the system

Control of chassis power consumption

Easy power management features reduce your electric bill, but to also helps to operate smoothly in rooms not designed for big computing and storage solutions.

Chassis Power Consumption Control


Minimum Mode (default): Sets power consumption to the lowest possible value

Low Noise Mode

Ensure that the system unit fans make not more noise than 45 dB

If necessary, the server blades are forced to work with lowest performance

Enforced Mode: Chassis power consumption will not exceed the power consumption defined by the user during the whole activation time of this mode

Limitation Mode:

MMB provides information about when it has reached a certain value

If "PSU Dynamic Mode" is enabled, MMB try to keep power consumption within configured values

Scheduled Mode: Possibility to activate chassis power consumption control modes in a define time

62


Server blade power consumption

Additional to the chassis power consumption control, the PRIMERGY BX400 provides the possibility to control the server blade power consumption.

Server Blade Power Consumption


Adaptive Mode (default)

Distribute power budget for each server blade to ensure a high performance operating environment

Dynamic mode (default): Blade with the most power demand will get the highest priority

Static mode: Use priority table to determine the importance of the server blade

Enforced Mode

Power consumption will not exceed the power consumption defined by the user during the whole activation time of this mode

Minimum Mode

All possible power consumption savings will be initiated to ensure the lowest possible power consumption operating mode

Power consumption for the enclosure always overrides the power consumption of individual server blades!

63


Overview

Easy power management features reduce your electric bill, but to also helps to operate smoothly in rooms not designed for big computing and storage solutions.

PSU Redundancy Concept


No Redundancy

All available PSUs will be considered as active PSU

PSU Redundancy

3+1, 2+1, 1+1 and 2+2 redundancy based on number PSUs

Phase Redundancy

Make sure that PSU cables are configured to support phase redundancy

Define maximal current value for each phase, and to which phase the power supply module should be connected

PSU Dynamic Mode

Based on actual power consumption only enough PSU will activate

Unused PSUs will put to STANDBY

In redundancy mode: provide enough redundancy to support the active PSUs

64


What to monitor?

Power consumption monitoring improves efficiency by managing power and cooling as a resource and helps to understand power usage and the thermal impact.

Power Consumption Monitoring


Actual Power Consumption: power consumption values of the system unit displayed in a table

Input power details: bar chart and a history chart are available for the system unit and for each server blade

Bar chart of each component shows the minimum, average, peak, limit (if set), and maximum values as numeric values and as line marks in the bar chart.
