Preface

The PRIMERGY BX630 S2 server blade is a scalable AMD-based dual-socket
server blade. It offers several new forward-looking technologies such as quad-
core processors, 2.5-inch SAS or SATA-II hard disk drives, four 1-Gbit/s
onboard Ethernet LAN channels and an optional dual-channel 4-Gbit/s Fibre
Channel (FC) connection. Two BX630 S2 dual-socket server blades can be
connected to form a quad-socket server blade with 16 processor cores.

The PRIMERGY BX630 S2 scalable server blade is designed for the BX600 S3
basic unit, but it can also be installed in slots 1-3 and 5-9 of the BX600 S2 basic
unit.

In the latter case, however, only 2 of the 4 onboard Ethernet channels of
the BX630 S2 server blade can be used.
Security functions in the BIOS Setup protect the data on the server blade from
unauthorized manipulation.
