2.1 Architecture Design
The X6800 uses the new-generation Huawei-proprietary system architecture. The architecture
design has the following features:
lThe 4 U chassis can hold different models of server nodes.
lAll server nodes in an X6800 share the PSUs in 1 + 1 or 2 + 2 redundancy.
lAll fan modules in an X6800 share the fan modules in N + 1 redundancy.
lThe X6800 supports network controller sideband interface (NC-SI) and provides service
and management ports from the front and service ports from the rear of the server.

2.2 Heat Dissipation
lThe system draws in air from the front of the chassis, delivers the cool air to the server
nodes, hard disks, processors, dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs), backplane, and
fan modules, and then discharges warm air through the rear of the chassis.
lTwo PSUs are installed in each side of the server chassis. Separated ventilation channels
are reserved to deliver the return air from the PSU fans for cooling.
lThe system fans implement cooling of the management boards and I/O boards on the fan
modules.
lThe high-pressure counter-rotating fans offer 10% higher air volume than common fans.
The refined air channels implement concentrated cooling of heat-sensitive devices. The
optimal distribution of temperature sensors covers all areas of high heat concentration
(server hotspots), facilitating accurate fan speed adjustment. The cellular design on the
panel offers a porosity of 66%, which is 10% higher than that of square holes. The fans
use the PID algorithm to adjust the fan speed smoothly and efficiently. All these heat
dissipation designs ensure long-term stable running of the server at 40ºC.
Figure 2-2 shows the X6800 ventilation channels.
Figure 2-2 Ventilation channels
2.3 Management and Monitoring
lThe iBMC and HMM implement management and monitoring of the X6800. The iBMC
on each node implements node management through the Intelligent Platform
Management Interface (IPMI), KVM, or virtual DVD-ROM drive. The HMM
implements chassis management, which includes fan management, PSU management,
and chassis asset management.
lThe HMM and iBMC implement aggregation management through LAN switches
(LSWs). The LSWs provide external GE port, through which users can access the HMM
and iBMC to manage the chassis and server nodes.

lThe HMM works with the fan switch boards to implements fan management. The fan
switch board provides five independent pulse-width modulation (PWM) control signals
to control the fan speed and ten tachometer (TACH) signals to detect the fan speed.
Based on the ambient temperature and temperature of the temperature-sensitive
components on the boards, the HMM uses Huawei speed adjustment algorithms to
determine a proper rotation speed, and then sends it to the fan switch board. The fan
switch board receives fan speed signals from the fan modules and reports the fan module
status to the HMM.
lPSU monitoring and management: The HMM provides one inter-integrated circuit (I2C)
for managing the PSUs and general purpose input/output (GPIO) pins for detecting the
PSU installation status and PwrOk state. The HMM supports queries on PSU output
power, PSU installation status, and PSU alarms.
Figure 2-3 shows the X6800 management and monitoring design.
Figure 2-3 X6800 monitoring and management design
2.4 Advantages
lThe X6800 uses Huawei proprietary system architecture with front maintenance and
front and rear access cabling, providing easy maintenance of the cool wind area.
lThe X6800 provides eight slots for installing 4U4 and 4U8 server nodes. This unified
architecture allows flexible configuration of computing and storage resources and easy
upgrades and maintenance.
lThe X6800 uses a modular design and supports hot-swappable server nodes, hard disks,
PSUs, fan module, and I/O module, which increases maintenance efficiency.
lThe X6800 uses the iBMC and HMM to implement management. The iBMC manages
server nodes, and the MMC manages the fan modules, PSUs, and chassis.
lAll server nodes share the PSUs and heat dissipation, improving PSU conversion
efficiency and reducing system power consumption.

4.1 Compute Node
Compute nodes support security solutions based on the Trusted Platform Module (TPM).
The TPM is a security chip that complies with the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) TPM
specification. The hardware-based TPM provides data encryption, password protection,
authentication, and internal resource protection. The TPM V1.2 is available.
The TPM is installed on a compute node and connects to the compute node through a port.
You can access a compute node with the TPM only after authorization, which ensures data
security based on hardware.
4.2 MM
The MM security involves hierarchical command protection, remote Secure Shell (SSH)
login, and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) encrypted authentication.
Hierarchical Command Protection
To ensure operation security, only the user who has passed the authentication can access the
MM through an Ethernet port.
The MM provides hierarchical protection for command lines. The commands are classified
into commands of the monitoring level, configuration level, and management level in
ascending order. Login users are classified into common user, operator, and administrator.
After logging in to the MM, a user can run only the commands corresponding to or lower than
the specified level.
Remote SSH Login
The MMs support Secure Shell (SSH), which provides security protection and verification
functions. SSH defends against various attacks on an insecure network. The MMs also
support Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) to provide encryption protection for file
transfer.
SNMP Encrypted Authentication
The MMs support the SNMPv3 and SNMP Trap v3 encrypted authentication functions. If the
MMs are managed by the network management site using SNMP, the user-based security
mode (USM) encryption authentication is used to ensure security of the MMs.
The MMs support MD5 or SHA SNMP V3 and SNMP Trap V3 authentication, and DES or
AES encryption. The default authentication type is MD5, which is easy to crack. You are
advised to set the authentication type to SHA.
NOTE
The MMs support SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, FTP, and Telnet protocol, which are disabled by default for
security purposes. If you need to enable SNMPv1 or SNMPv2c, contact Huawei technical support.

Intelligent power
management
Uses the power capping technology to increase deployment
density and dynamic energy saving technology to lower
operating costs.
Out-of-band aggregation
management
Integrates the out-of-band management of all server nodes in
the chassis, reduces the cabling of the management network,
and shortens maintenance time.
5.3 Management Principles
Management principles of the X6800 are as follows:
lThe Integrated Baseboard Management Controller (iBMC) and the Hyper Management
Module (HMM) implement management and monitoring of the X6800. The iBMC on
each node implements node management through the Intelligent Platform Management
Interface (IPMI), KVM, or virtual DVD-ROM drive. The HMM implements chassis
management, which includes management of fan modules, PSUs, and chassis assets.
lThe HMM and iBMC implement converged management over the LAN switch (LSM)
chip in the chassis. The LSM provides an external GE port. You can log in to the HMM
and iBMC over the external GE port to manage the chassis and server nodes.
lThe HMM works with the fan switch boards to implements fan management. The fan
switch board provides five independent pulse-width modulation (PWM) control signals
to control the fan speed and ten tachometer (TACH) signals to detect the fan speed.
Based on the ambient temperature and temperature of the temperature-sensitive
components on server blades, HMM uses Huawei speed adjustment algorithms to
determine a proper rotation speed, and then sends it to the fan switch board. The fan
switch board receives fan speed signals from the fan modules and reports the fan module
status to the HMM.
lPSU monitoring and management: The HMM provides one inter-integrated circuit (I2C)
for managing the PSUs and general purpose input/output (GPIO) pins for detecting the
PSU installation status and PwrOk state. The HMM supports queries on PSU output
power, PSU installation status, and PSU alarms.
The following shows the X6800 management plane.

Access Modes
The X6800 server nodes and Hyper Management Module (HMM) are configured with
independent IP addresses. You can access the Intelligent Baseboard Management Controller
(iBMC) of a server node or the HMM to manage the X6800.
lOn a server node, you can:
–Directly access the iBMC through the iBMC management network port on the
server node.
–Access the iBMC through a service network port on a network interface card (NIC)
over a network controller sideband interface (NC-SI).
–Access the HMM in transparent transmission mode through the iBMC management
network port. For details, see Configuring Transparent Transmission.
lThrough the converged management network port on the chassis mounting ear or on the
HMM, you can:
–Directly access the HMM.
–Access the iBMC in converged management node. For details, see Configuring
Network Port Aggregation.
Networking
The X6800 provides flexible networking of the management network:
lPoint-to-point networking
The server nodes are directly connected to the switch outside the X6800 chassis to form an
out-of-band management network plane. You must set LAN Port Configuration to Dedicated
on the BIOS.You also can connect Data plane network and transfer management message
through NC-SI. Figure 1 shows the cable connections.

lCabling from the mounting ear for converged management
The X6800 is connected to the switch outside the X6800 chassis through a cable led out from
the front mounting ear on the X6800 chassis. The out-of-band management network
communicates with the X6800 server nodes through the LAN switch (LSW) chip in the
X6800 chassis. You need to change LAN Port Configuration (Dedicated by default) to Shared
on the BIOS. Figure 2 shows the cable connections.

NOTICE
lThe active/standby switchover feature of the X6800 HMMs is not available at present.
Therefore, the X6800 comes with only one HMM.
lThe converged management network port on the HMM provides an external interface for
the LSW. The HMM is different from the management module (MM) of blade servers.
The MM integrates a management plane switching chip, while the HMM only provides an
external port for the management plane switch.
lEnhancement has been made on the management network ports on the mounting ear and
on the HMM to prevent self-loop between the LSW and management switches in the
equipment room. If both of the ports are connected to the management network, the port
on the mounting ear has higher priority and the port on the HMM will be disabled by
software.
