Important notes Notes on mounting the basic unit in the rack Before connecting or disconnecting cables, read the notes in the chapter “Important Notes” in the Technical Manual for the relevant rack. The Technical Manual for the rack is supplied with the rack. The rack must be connected to the mains by an authorized specialist (electrician).
Notes on power cabling Important notes Notes on power cabling Due to the high power requirements of the BX600 S3 blade server, you must be careful when arranging the power cabling. Be sure to take into account local conditions such as mains voltage and UPS solution. The BX600 S3 basic unit can be fitted with up to four 2100 W power supply units.

Important notes Notes on power cabling Single basic unit with a single phase input Phase 1 Figure 3: Basic unit with a single phase input This is the simplest of the configuration options. All 4 power supply units are connected to the same phase. This would require a single phase providing suffi- cient power.
Page 20
Notes on power cabling Important notes Single basic unit with a 3-phase input Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3 Figure 4: Single basic unit with a 3-phase input This power cabling option provides you with additional phase redundancy for high-availability configurations. If one phase fails, the power supply units connected to the other phases remain active.

Important notes Notes on power cabling Single basic unit with a single UPS Single-phase 3-phase input Figure 5: Single basic unit with a single UPS A fully equipped BX600 S3 basic unit populated with four power supply units requires approximately 5120 Watts (power factor 0.96). Therefore you need a UPS with sufficient output to power a BX600 S3 basic unit.
Page 22
Notes on power cabling Important notes Single basic unit with two UPSs Single-phase 3-phase input Figure 6: Single basic unit with two UPSs If you need higher availibility, you can connect a single BX600 S3 basic unit to two UPS devices. In this case you must take into account that each UPS must provide approximately 5120 Watts to power the basic unit, even if the mains supply and one UPS were to fail.
Page 23
Important notes Notes on power cabling Two basic units with two UPSs Single-phase 3-phase input Figure 7: Two basic units with two UPSs You can connect two basic units to two UPS devices as shown in figure 7. In this case you must take into account that each UPS must provide approximately 10240 Watts to power both basic units, if required.
