1. A 64-bit adapter installed into a 32-bit slot will transfer data at 32-bit rates. Adapters rated at 66MHz will operate at 33MHz when installed in a 33MHz slot. 33MHz adapters will reduce
66MHz buses to 33MHz.
2. To avoid damage to internal cables, do not route cabling under a full-length PCI adapter.
3. xSeries 342 includes a dual-port, dual-channel Ultra160 SCSI controller for internal use only. No standard external port is available. See “Internal SCSI Cabling” for cabling alternatives.
Due to xSeries 342 low profile, some adapters with connectors on the top edge may not have sufficient clearance to attach a cable. Cabling interferences are identified in the footnotes.
4. ServeRAID-4L Ultra160 SCSI Controller is powered by a 100MHz Intel i960 processor and provides a single channel, 16MB of ECC cache and either one internal or one external Ultra160
connection. External connector is 0.8mm VHDCI.
5. ServeRAID-4M Ultra160 SCSI Controller is powered by a 100MHz Intel i960 processor and provides two channels, 64MB of battery-backed ECC cache and two external
0.8mm VHDCI Ultra160 connectors.
6. ServeRAID-4H Ultra160 SCSI Controller is powered by a 266MHz PowerPC 750 processor and provides 128MB of battery-backed ECC cache. The internal connectors are not accessible
due to cabling interference. Four external Ultra160 0.8mm VHDCI connectors are available.
7. ServeRAID-4Mx Ultra160 SCSI Controller is powered by a 100MHz Intel Zion GC80303 processor that provides 64MB of battery-backed ECC cache and two internal and two external
Ultra160 connections (only two connectors may be used). External connections are 0.8mm VHDCI.
8. ServeRAID-4Lx Ultra160 SCSI Controller is powered by a 100MHz Intel Zion GC80303 processor and provides a single channel, 32MB of ECC cache and either one internal or one
external Ultra160 connection. External connector is 0.8mm VHDCI.
9. PCI Wide Ultra160 SCSI Adapter (P/N 19K4646) provides a single channel with one internal connector, a five-drop multi-mode terminated LVD SCSI cable and one external 0.8mm VHDCI
connector. Only one of the two connectors may be utilized.
10. PCI Fast/Wide Ultra SCSI Adapter provides one external 68-pin high density connector. The internal connectors are not accessible due to a cabling interference.
11. See Fibre Channel Solutions Overview section for additional configuration information.
12. The 2108R3L SAN Data Gateway Router Ultra SCSI LVD port provides one integrated short-wave optical port and two SCSI ports for tape storage connections (LVD, HVD and single-
ended).
13. xSeries 342 includes a full-duplex, 10/100Mbps Ethernet PCI controller.
14. In a fault-tolerant networking environment, using the fault-tolerant software delivered with the Ethernet adapters of a single manufacturer is recommended. Installing fault-tolerant
solutions provided by multiple manufacturers may cause failures if the intermediate drivers provided with the adapters are not compatible. The onboard Ethernet is Intel-based, which is
compatible with the three Intel-based optional Ethernet adapters (P/N 06P3601, 06P3701, 22P 49 01).
15. This server supports Wake on LAN or Alert-on-LAN functions through the integrated Ethernet controller only. These functions are not supported for optional PCI adapters.
16. xSeries 342 includes two USB ports and two serial ports.
17. Due to homologation variances, modem availability may differ by country.
18. See Appendix E for details on Serial I/O options and configuration limitations.
19. Provides an ESCON MIC and a DB9 Serial Port. Cables are not included but are available through S/390 channels. Contact your IBM representative for additional information.
20. A maximum of two 9086001 adapters (installed in nonadjacent slots) are supported in a single server.
Slot 1 - Bus A - 33MHz, 32-bit, Universal or 5V
Slot 2 - Bus B - 33MHz, 64-bit, Universal or 5V Slot 3 - Bus B - 33MHz, 64-bit, Universal or 5V Slot 4 - Bus C - 66MHz, 64-bit, Universal or 3.3V Slot 5 - Bus C - 66MHz, 64-bit, Universal or 3.3V
