    165. Communication interfaces The PRIMERGY BX600 S2 basic unit has four slots on the back for installing different types of communication blades which allow the installed server blades to be connected to the Ethernet LAN or to SAN environments. The connections can be implemented via switch blades and/or pass-thru blades.
  • Page 11 The Ethernet LAN Pass-Thru-Blade has ten RJ45 connectors. Fibre Channel pass-thru blade The PRIMERGY BX600 S2 basic unit can have one or two Fibre Channel pass-thru blades to provide Fibre Channel functionality for the installed server blades. A Fibre Channel (FC) pass-thru blade offers 10 ports for bypass connections between FC daughter cards installed in the server blades and the optical transceivers for serial FC I/O and general I/O signals.
  • Page 12 Features KVM-Blade For administering the server blades, the PRIMERGY BX600 S2 basic unit offers a KVM blade, which allows the individual server blades to be connected to a console. – The standard KVM blade allows a monitor, PS2 keyboard and PS2 mouse to be connected for local administration of the server blades.
