System overview
The Hitachi Compute Blade 500 series system can contain up to eight server
blades and four switch modules. Compared with a 1U server chassis that
contains a rack mount network switch and a FC switch, the 6U height Hitachi
Compute Blade 500 server chassis offers improved features such as less
space, fewer cables, and decreased weight. The system has the ability for
replacing existing PC server systems, consolidating servers, and for operating
servers in a data center. Suitable switch modules can be selected from the
available interfaces according to the customer demands. The management
modules, switch modules, power supply modules, and cooling fan modules
provide a redundant configuration. The system can continue to operate
because of the redundant configuration even if one of the modules
experiences a failure.
