Hitachi Compute Blade 520X B3 (CB520XB3)

Up to eight server blades and four switch modules can fit inside the 6U server chassis. The 6U server chassis requires less room, uses fewer wires, and weighs less than a 1U server chassis with an external rack mount network switch and FC switch. The internal backplane in the server chassis serves as the connection between each module. Therefore, a convoluted cable connection is not required. The simplest way to add a server blade to a chassis is to place it in an available slot. The system is made to combine current rack-mount server platforms, consolidate servers, and run in a data centre. Switch modules can be chosen based on your requirements. It is possible to create redundant configurations for management modules, switch modules, power supply modules, and fan modules, allowing the system to function even if one of the modules fails. A server chassis houses the power supplies needed for server blades. So, a relatively tiny area can supply stable electric power. To save space, the external interface is shared by several server blades utilising a switching function. The CB 520 X B3 server chassis has the following salient characteristics: • Up to 8 half-width multi-core 2-socket processor blades • Up to 4 full-width multi-core, four-socket processor blades • Up to 4 modular, high-throughput IO switch modules • Backplane with a high-density laminate for upcoming IO interfaces • Power capping and 80 PLUS Platinum power supply with energy-saving technologies • High levels of reliability, availability, and maintenance (RAS), including customer serviceability and numerous redundant configurations
