Introduction

The PRIMERGY CX420 S1 Dual Node Cluster Server represents the first
generation of multi-node systems for large data centers as well as for small and
medium size environments. It is the 2U rack optimized enclosure to be filled with
standard infrastructure, components and applications. Due to its conventional
front-to-back cooling and rear side external connectivity it enables for cost-
effectiveness through installation and operation in existing rack infrastructures
and air conditioning. A low level of complexity is granted by avoiding sharing of
fabrics, I/O or management components. The main ingredients like server
nodes, power supply units (PSUs) and disk drives are hot-plug enabled for
enhanced availability and lowered servicing effort. The approach to minimized
energy consumption is underlined by up to two redundant, highly efficient (94%)
80Plus Platinum PSUs, providing power for all built-in parts.
Efficient cooling is guaranteed by the four centrally installed fan units.
depending on the specific applications' characteristics. All server nodes are
half-wide, thus two of them may be positioned besides each other, and up to two
2U nodes are the maximum number per PRIMERGY CX420 S1 Dual Node
Cluster Server, thus density may be doubled compared to standard rack
servers. Great flexibility is given through the different types of local disk drives,
being installed at the enclosure front side. Up to twelve 2.5 or 3.5 storage drives
are usable, be it HDDs or SSDs, both with either SATA or SAS interfaces. The
drives are assigned to the installed server nodes group wise, adaptable to any
demand and wallet.
The highly compact Dual Node Cluster Server occupies two height units (HU)
in the rack.
