These modules are designed to link the server blades to user ports without cables for better configuration connectivity. Unlike conventional rack-mount servers, the SIGMABLADE requires much fewer LAN and FC cables and frees administrators from cabling hassles. 2 3 NEC Express5800/SIGMABLADE Server Management Blade Enclosure Management Utility The EM card allows users to monitor the status and change settings of the blade enclosure unit. By simple remote settings Hardware and software utilities for efficient management from a web console, administrators can control power allocation and reduce management costs. By limiting the amount of power that can be used by a blade enclosure unit and the entire cabinet (setting a maximum power value) and controlling the fan rotation speed to match the operating status of each CPU blade, unnecessary power consumption is reduced. NEC Express5800/SIGMABLADE series include Enclosure Management (EM) Cards in the blade enclosure and an EXPRESSSCOPE Engine on CPU blades. Utilization of NEC Power allocation between CPU Blades in an enclosure SigmaSystemCenter (SSC) platform management software delivers centralized administration, In case the maximum power limit for the enclosure is set to 2,000 watts: policy-based autonomy, and reduced total operating costs and system administrator workload. Low priority blades are automatically switched to power-saving mode. Total power use after adding a server: 2,200 watts (200 watts over) Add 4 7 # 4 7 # Power-1 4 7 # 4 7 # Power-2 4 7 # 4 7 # Power-3 4 7 # 4 7 # 4 7 # Power-4 4 7 # Power-1 4 7 # 4 7 # 4 7 # Power-2 4 7 # Power-3 4 7 # 4 7 # Power-4 Fan speed control function Fan speeds are controlled from minimum to maximum based on the server load. Control EM Card Power allocation between enclosures in a cabinet CPU Blade Management Utility The NEC EXPRESSSCOPE Engine, a chipset on the CPU blade integrating a Baseboard Management Controller, and DianaScope remote management utility allow remote control and monitoring of a managed server even when its OS is not functioning (when the power is off, during BIOS startup, or if the OS stalls). They also enable proactive alerting, automatic operation of the managed server, and error logging and viewing of server settings from a remote web browser, thus creating a highly reliable operating environment. The NEC EXPRESSSCOPE Engine’s function untangles the complexity of your remote server management. Platform Management Software The EM Cards interact with each other across the enclosures for optimal power allocation and keep overall power consumption below the maximum. <Example> Power limit setting for the entire rack: 9.0kW Power allocated to Unit 1 : 1.5kW Actual power : 1.5kW Powering on will exceed maximum. Additionally required: 0.5kW Power allocated to Unit 2 : 1.5kW Actual power : 1.5kW Power allocated to Unit 3 : 3.0kW Actual power : 2.5kW Surplus of power allocated to Unit 3 supplements Unit 2. Power on The SSC is an all-in-one platform management solution designed for centralized management and policy-based autonomy. It monitors CPU usage rates and dynamically allocates server resources based on changing operational loads.This single tool offers all of the functionality necessary for platform management without the need to Unit 2 Power allocated to Unit 4 : 3.0kW Actual power : 2.8kW Allocated power : 2kW Actual power : 2kW distinguish between physical and virtual resources. Users can check the operational status of each resource, perform everyday operations such as patch distribution, autonomous failure recovery, and expansion or reorganization of servers based on workloads. 4 5 NEC Express5800/SIGMABLADE Specifications CPU Blades Storage and I/O Blade B120a B120b B120a-d Processor number E5502 (1.86 GHz) E5504 (2 GHz) L5520 (2.26 GHz LV) X5550 (2.66 GHz) MAX.
