BMS SERVER (BMSS) (Admin Building Contractor Scope of Works)

A. General
1. All hardware, software, firmware, and/or operating system requirements given are the
minimum requirements. The Contractor's product shall meet or exceed these
requirements. Additionally, and due to the rapid advancement and antiquation of
hardware technology, the supplied hardware shall be the “contemporary technical and
operational equivalent” of the specified hardware. The following requirements shall
be met:
a. Contemporary technical and operational equivalent shall be based on a
comparison of technology at the time of Contract to the technology at the time
of ordering the equipment for each phase.
b. Hardware shall be ordered as close to the actual installation date for a given
phase as possible. Final hardware approval and scheduled order date shall be at
the sole discretion of the Employer.
c. Hardware equivalence shall be based on both technical equivalence and
operational equivalence.
d. Contemporary technical equivalence shall be based on device performance and
class specifications.
e. Contemporary operational equivalence shall be based on industry standards
and function.
2. Environmental Rating: Equipment shall be rated for continuous operation under the
ambient environmental temperature, humidity, and vibration conditions encountered
at the installed location.
3. To ensure compatibility among devices, all hardware equipment shall be supplied by
a single manufacturer. Solutions which are based on sourcing equipment from
different manufacturers, are not acceptable.
B. Hardware specification
1. Hot redundant fault tolerant servers shall be installed at the control rooms.
2. Redundant servers shall be located in a dedicated servers rack in the Data Center.
3. At all levels of the architecture, data redundancy shall be ensured. The detailed design
of the Contractor shall highlight the actions adopted to implement this redundancy.
4. The Contractor shall design servers that are able to cope with the foreseen workload;
the Contractor shall indicate the workload’s increase percentage that the servers will
be able to cope with.
5. Contractor shall deliver Rack servers or Blade servers and shall configure them
accordingly.
6. Processor:
a. Contractor shall provide an Intel Xeon processor - family E5. Latest available
family’s version at the time of ordering shall be provided; if E5 v4 family is
launched, processors from E5 v3 family are not accepted.
b. Bus type: QPI.
c. Instruction set: 64-bit.
d. Instruction Set Extensions: AVX 2.0
e. Memory specifications:
1) Memory type: DDR4. All latest versions by Intel (E3 v5, E5 v4 and E7
v3 families) support DDR4 memory type.
2) Maximum Memory Bandwidth: 59.7 GB/s or higher. Max Memory
bandwidth is the maximum rate at which data can be read from or stored
into a semiconductor memory by the processor (in GB/s).
3) Maximum Memory size: 1536 GB or better.
f. Supported Intel Data Protection Technology:
1) Intel AES New Instructions.
2) Secure Key.
g. Supported Intel Platform Protection Technology:
1) OS guard.
2) Trusted Execution Technology.
3) Execute Disable Bit.
7. Expansion slots’ technology: PCIe 3.0
8. Hot-swappable cooling fans shall be provided.
9. Calculation:
a. Based on the BMS manufacturer’s recommendations and the physical total
number of I/O points, Contractor shall provide by justified calculations - for
each of the servers - the choice of the:
1) Processor’s number of cores.
Contractor shall not use the Hyper-Threading technology in
order to meet the required number of cores; Contractor shall
provide a physical number of cores equal or greater than the
required number.
2) CPU frequency.
3) RAM.
4) Storage capacity (calculated at maximum frequency).
b. The total average CPU load shall not exceed 40%. Contractor shall increase the
CPU number of cores and RAM in order to maintain the required average CPU
load. The server storage hardware shall be calculated for 5 years, configured
using hardware RAID 5 and designed to use less than 60% of the available
space. Calculation shall clearly state the analog tags’, the discrete tags’, and the
string tags’ number in addition to the update’s rate.
10. Hard drives: SSD: SAS Server RAID System shall have integrated RAID 5 with on
board RAID controllers.
Software RAID instead of a dedicated RAID controller chip is not acceptable.
Enclosure:
a. Servers shall be rack mounted in a standard 19” racks complying with
EIA/ECA-310-E and IEC 60297 Mechanical structures for electronic
equipment - Dimensions of mechanical structures of the 482.6 mm (19 in)
series:
1) IEC 60297-3-100 Part 3-100: Basic dimensions of front panels,
subracks, chassis, racks and cabinets
2) IEC 60297-3-101 Part 3-101: Subracks and associated plug-in units
3) IEC 60297-3-102 Part 3-102: Injector/extractor handle
4) IEC 60297-3-103 Part 3-103: Keying and alignment pin
5) IEC 60297-3-104 Part 3-104: Connector dependent interface dimensions
of subracks and plug-in units
6) IEC 60297-3-105 Part 3-105: Dimensions and design aspects for 1U
chassis
b. Enclosure Accessories: Contractor shall be responsible for providing fans,
shelves, drawers, special power wiring, ground connections, cables,
connectors, appurtenances, and adapters of any kind necessary to accommodate
the system installation, operation, testing, or maintenance.
