Overview of these bladecenter s chassis, which houses those storage modules (FRU: 43W3581)

Lenovo BladeCenter® remains an innovative solution to running business solutions. BladeCenter builds on the Lenovo  commitment to integrating server, storage, and networking functionality with technology exchange and heterogeneous management. BladeCenter offers the ease, density, availability, affordability, and scalability that are central to the blade technology promise.

BladeCenter S combines the power of blade servers with integrated storage, all in an easy-to-use package that is designed specifically for the office and distributed enterprise environment. The BladeCenter S chassis can hold up to six blade servers, and up to 12 hot-swap 3.5-inch SAS or SATA disk drives in just 7U of rack space.

The BladeCenter S chassis, fully populated, is shown in Figure 1.

Did you know?

Unlike the BladeCenter E and BladeCenter H chassis, the BladeCenter S is designed to operate on either 110 V or 220 V power. It is also designed to run in an office environment with the BladeCenter S Office Enablement Kit. The combination of these features means that the BladeCenter S is ideal for customers with a distributed IT infrastructure where there is no dedicated computer room.

The BladeCenter S chassis offers numerous features to boost performance and reduce costs:

  • Support for the latest generation of BladeCenter blades, helping to provide performance and investment protection.
  • Blade servers communicate directly to switch modules inside the BladeCenter chassis via redundant midplane links to help increase the speed and efficiency of data transfers across blade servers and networks.
  • A blade server that is installed in a BladeCenter S has access to as many as four internal switches, which means that up to eight I/O ports can be enabled from each server that is installed in the chassis.

Flexibility and scalability

The BladeCenter S chassis can grow with your application requirements with these features:

  • BladeCenter Virtual Fabric delivers a flexible, open, and connected infrastructure to help optimize application performance. BladeCenter supports many fabrics, including Ethernet, Fibre Channel, InfiniBand, iSCSI, and SAS.
  • Support for both x86 servers and Power Systems™ servers in a single chassis.
  • BladeCenter S can be used in either 220 V or 110 V power environments. Couple this flexibility with the office-friendly Office Enablement Kit and BladeCenter S fits well in a standard back-office environment, as well as in a data center.
  • The two Disk Storage Modules support up to 24 TB of share storage that is integrated into the chassis, providing flexibility and convenience in your application design and data placement.
  • The Disk Storage Modules are available either with 3.5-inch drive bays or with 2.5-inch drive bays
  • A complete integrated offering is provided with space for servers, networking, and shared storage - all in one 7U modular design enclosure.
  • Available Serial Pass-thru Module provides a dedicated serial port to every blade server in the chassis for the applications that need it.
  • The BladeCenter server form factor has remained the same since 2002, which means that most servers that are designed for BladeCenter are supported in all BladeCenter chassis. This continuity maximizes flexibility and manageability.
