3 Overview
The PRIMECENTER M1 19-inch Rack is a universal rack system for the
creation of integrated data center infrastructure solutions from server, storage,
network, management and UPS components.
In addition to Fujitsu servers, storage subsystems, UPSs, modems, etc. are also
available for installation. Additional options especially developed for rack
installation include a console drawer (1U) with foldaway TFT monitor, touchpad
and keyboard as well as diverse analog and digital console switches and
various rack accessories. Competitors' products or products from third-party
vendors, such as electric door locks, rack management and power supply
components can also be installed.
Thanks to new cable conduits and an expanded cable management concept all
cables are routed in an orderly and service-friendly manner. This in conjunction
with the telescopic rails means that all servers can be removed from the rack
during operation. This permits maintenance and repair to be carried out as part
of the high-availability functions of the servers (e.g. hot-plug hard disks, hot-plug
fans).
The rack anti-tilt protection required in case of maintenance must be mounted
under the rack and pulled out in case of service. Several rack servers can be
operated simultaneously via an electronic switch (console switch) using just one
monitor and one keyboard. Improved access control based on lockable doors or
optional electronic security ensures complete protection of the installed
modules against tampering.
Expansion concept
The PRIMECENTER M1 racks are available in the gradations 16, 24 and 42
height units with a rack depth of 1050 mm and can be placed horizontally in a
row. The side panels remain on the rack to permit uniform ventilation, and
internal cabling of the cabinets with each other is ensured. The side panels are
lockable and remain accessible even when the racks are fully equipped.
PRIMERGY/ SPARC Enterprise rack server slide-in modules
Many of the proven Fujitsu PRIMERGY and SPARC Enterprise servers are
available as rack versions. These rack servers combine high computing power
with minimal space requirements, since larger memory capacities can be
addressed by using additional storage devices.
