Introducing the System
Chapter 1. Introducing the System
This system is a high performance entry server in a a deskside system unit. It provides a
64–bit symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) with true multithreaded application support in a
double–wide deskside box.
System Features
Bus Architecture
Ten PCI slots are available:
• Six of the slots are 64–bit PCI full–size slots at 66 MHz, 3.3 volts
• Four of the slots are 64–bit PCI full–size slots at 33 MHz, 5 volts
Microprocessor
The Models T610 and PL 600T can have one to six processors, of either of two processor
types, in various configurations:
• Minimum configuration is one 450 MHz processor, which has 2MB of L2 cache (PL 600T
only)
• Two or four 450MHz processors, each with 4MB of L2 cache.
• Six 500MHz processors, each with 4MB of L2 cache (T610 only).
OR
• Minimum configuration is one 600MHz processor, which has 2MB of L2 cache (PL 600T
only).
• Two or four 600MHz processors, each with 8MB of L2 cache.
• Six 668MHz processors, each with 8MB of L2 cache.
The Model PL 400T can have one to four processors, of either of two processor types, in
various configurations:
• Minimum configuration is one 450 MHz processor, which has 2MB of L2 cache.
• Two or four 450MHz processors, each with 4MB of L2 cache.
OR
• Minimum configuration is one 600MHz processor, which has 2MB of L2 cache.
• Two or four 600MHz processors, each with 4MB of L2 cache.
Memory
• 256MB (minimum) to 32GB (maximum)
• One or two memory riser cards; each riser card has 16 sockets. 128MB, 256MB, 512MB
and 1GB dual inline memory–modules (DIMMs) are available.
• Certain 32MB DIMMs from older systems can also be used when upgrading the system
memory.
Media Drives
Three media bays are available:
• Optional media bay (D17) that can accommodate 5.25–inch drives such as CD–ROM
drives, tape drives or other removable media drives
