IBM XSERIES 370
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 370 does not include an onboard network 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 three Intel-based optional Ethernet adapters
(P/N 06P3601, 06P3601, 22P4901) provide compatible intermediate drivers for failover support.
15. The Wake on LAN function of this option is not supported by this server.
16. xSeries 370 includes two USB ports, two high-speed serial/asynchronous ports (NS 16550A compatible), and one high-speed (up to 2MBps data transfer speed)
bidirectional parallel port supporting devices using ECP/EPP/SSP protocols adhering to the IEEE 1284 standard.
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. A maximum of four Serial I/O adapters (any com bination of P/N 37 L 1414, 37 L1415, 37L 1416, 37L142 3 ) m ay
be installed.
19. xSeries 370 ships standard with a Netfinity Advanced System Management PCI Adapter installed in a separate PCI slot connected through a dedicated PCI bus, leaving all 12 standard
PCI slots available for PCI adapters.
20. Required for all xSeries servers containing a standard Advanced System Management Processor that are to be interconnected for system management support through a LAN or
modem connection. Up to 12 service processors may be interconnected (including standard and optional processors) with an aggregate connection length of no more than 91.4m (300ft). A
customer-supplied Ethernet cable is required for each interconnection.
21. Although the xSeries 370 integrated Netfinity System Management PCI Adapter is powered continuously through the redundant power supply subsystem, an even higher level of
availability is offered with the addition of UltraSlim 56W AC Adapter by allowing an independent power source or connection to a separate optional UPS.
22. Provides an ESCON MIC and DB9 Serial Port. Cables are not included but are available through S/390 channels. Contact your IBM representative for additional information.
23. A maximum of two 9086001 adapters (installed in nonadjacent slots) are supported in a single server. Where possible, install in a minimally loaded bus.
24. PCI Fast/Wide Ultra SCSI Adapter (P/N 02K3454) provides one external 68-pin high density connector that supports external SCSI devices such as tape enclosures.

1. xSeries 370 systems contain three 750W (at 220V), hot-swap power supplies which handle robust configurations while providing full
redundancy. When operating at 110V, redundancy is limited to configurations not exceeding six processors, 24 memory RDIMMs, or
eight PCI adapters. Each system ships with nine power cords: 3 x 220V, 3 x 110V, 3 x intra-rack 220V. Even though multiple UPSs may
provide redundant power sources, systems management software does not currently take advantage of its power outage alerts.
2. For runtimes and UPS attributes see Appendix C: UPS Runtime Estimates.
3. Height is 3U. See Rack Cabinets and Options section for supported IBM racks.
4. Height is 5U. See Rack Cabinets and Options section for supported IBM racks.
5. xSeries 370 uses an SVGA controller (S3 Trio 3D chipset) with 4MB of video memory.
6. Installation within a rack requires optional Monitor Compartment (P/N 94G7444).
7. Installation within a rack requires optional Netfinity Flat Panel Monitor Rack Mount Kit II (P/N 37L6888) and Netfinity Rack Keyboard
Tray (P/N 28L4707). A space saver keyboard may coexist within the same 28L4707 keyboard tray.
