Information on the hardware lifecycle of the FUJITSU Server BS2000 SE Series (Changes since the last edition of the manual)
With the hardware lifecycle of the SE Series, the hardware basis for the Server Unit x86, the Management Unit and the HNC has been renewed. These new generation versions are called SU300 M2, MU M2 and HNC M2. They are supported from basic software V6.2A onwards.
The FUJITSU BS2000 servers of the SE Series that are equipped with this hardware generation are called SE300B, SE500B and SE700B.
The changes in the manuals are mainly due to these new hardware lifecycle generation models. Any differences to the previous models regarding structure and operation are described in detail.
