Specifications

Chapter 1. General description 7
򐂰 One hot-plug, slim-line, SATA media bay per enclosure (optional)
򐂰 Redundant hot-swap AC power supplies in each enclosure
򐂰 Choice of Integrated Multifunction Card options; maximum one per enclosure:
– Dual 10 Gb Copper and Dual 1 Gb Ethernet (#1768)
– Dual 10 Gb Optical and Dual 1 Gb Ethernet (#1769)
򐂰 One serial port included on each Integrated Multifunction Card
򐂰 Two USB ports included on each Integrated Multifunction Card, plus another USB port on
each enclosure (maximum nine usable per system)
򐂰 Two HMC ports per enclosure (maximum four per system)
򐂰 Eight I/O expansion slots per enclosure (maximum 32 per system)
– Six Gen2 PCIe 8x slots plus two GX++ slots per enclosure
򐂰 Dynamic LPAR support, Processor and Memory CUoD
򐂰 PowerVM (optional)
– Micro-Partitioning®
– Virtual I/O Server (VIOS)
– Automated CPU and memory reconfiguration support for dedicated and shared
processor logical partition groups (dynamic LPAR)
– Support for manual provisioning of resources, namely PowerVM Live Partition
Migration (PowerVM Enterprise Edition)
򐂰 Optional PowerHA® for AIX, IBM i, and Linux
򐂰 12X I/O drawer with PCI slots
– Up to 16 PCIe I/O drawers (#5802 or #5877)
– Up to 32 PCI-X DDR I/O drawers (7314-G30 or #5796)
Additional considerations: Note the following considerations:
򐂰 The Ethernet port of the Integrated Multifunction Card cannot be used for an IBM i
console. Use separate Ethernet adapters that can be directly controlled by IBM i
without the Virtual I/O server for IBM i LAN consoles if desired. Alternatively, an
HMC can also be used for an IBM i console.
򐂰 The first and second CEC enclosure must contain one Integrated Multifunction Card
(#1768 or #1769). The Integrated Multifunction Card is optional for the third or fourth
CEC enclosure.
򐂰 Each Integrated Multifunction Card has four Ethernet ports, two USB ports, and one
serial port. Usage of the serial port by AIX/Linux is supported for MODEM call home,
TTY console, and snooping even if an HMC/SDMC is attached to the server. Usage
by the serial port to communicate with a UPS is not supported.
򐂰 The first and second CEC enclosures each have two HMC/SDMC ports on the
service processor (#EU05). If there are two CEC enclosures, the HMC must be
connected to both service processor cards.
