1 Product Overview Product Overview The FusionServer X6000 V6 server (X6000 V6) is a next-generation 2U high-density server designed for ISPs, Internet, high-performance computing (HPC), cloud computing, and data center applications. Built on an architecture optimized for software-defined storage (SDS), big data, and software-defined infrastructure (SDI), it is ideal for large-scale server deployment.
2U rack server in the same cabinet space, which greatly improves space utilization in equipment rooms. ⚫ The X6000 V6 server is 2U high and supports a maximum of four server nodes in two configurations: −...

X6000 V6 servers use Dynamic Energy Management Technology (DEMT) to minimize system energy consumption. ⚫ X6000 V6 servers do not have drive backplanes or system backplanes. This allows ideal system ventilation for processors with the highest specifications. Redundancy and Reliability X6000 V6 servers use reliable system architecture that ensures stable and long-term service running.

35° C (95° F) for a long time. 3.2 Power Supply System The X6000 V6 server supports two or four hot-swappable PSUs. Based on the relationship between the rated power of the PSUs and that of the server, there are different redundancy modes to ensure that the system performance is not affected and the system does not break down when a power supply or PSU fault occurs.
Page 12
"+N" redundancy of power supply indicates that the server performance is not affected when N power supplies fail. ⚫ In typical configuration, the power of an X6000 V6 PSU is 2000 W. The total rated server power is rarely greater than the total rated power of three PSUs. Power Capping Mode The X6000 V6 server supports the following power capping modes: ⚫...
Page 13
Before using the MSPP or user-defined power capping mode, enable EIST on the BIOS. For details, see FusionServer X6000 Server iBMC User Guide. ⚫ For details about how to configure the power capping mode, see FusionServer X6000 Server iBMC User Guide. When different number of PSUs are configured, the system automatically enables the MSPP or user-defined power capping mode based on the rated power of the server and that of the PSUs.
Page 14
After a PSU enters the hot standby state, the output current decreases and the power indicator is steady green, which is the same as the normal state. You can query the PSU status by running the ipmcget -d psuinfo command on the iBMC CLI. For details, see the FusionServer X6000 Server iBMC User Guide. In active/standby mode: −...
Note: For details about the MSPP triggering conditions, see Table 3-2. 3.3 Management System The X6000 V6 server management system uses the iBMC collaborative management architecture. Customers can manage server nodes and the chassis through the management network port of any server node.
Page 16
The iBMC of each X6000 V6 server node provides an independent IP address for external access. You can access the iBMC of any server node to manage an X6000 V6 server. You can access the iBMC of a server node in the following ways: ⚫...
