The FUJITSU Server BS2000 SE Series unites the existing server lines S servers and SQ servers in the server line SE servers.
Depending on requirements, the SE server contains all the system components needed for operation as an overall application:
/390-based BS2000 Server Unit
x86-based Server Units with BS2000, Linux or Windows guest systems
x86-based Application Units for operation under Linux, Windows or VMware
Shareable tape and disk periphery
A high-speed, server-internal infrastructure to connect the components with each other and with the customer LAN or SAN.
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.
The changes to this manual are due to the new generation of the Server Unit x86, which has been defined with the hardware lifecycle of the SE series. It is called SU300 M2 and supported from basic software V6.2A onwards.
