1. Housed in a 19in rack-mountable drawer and ships standard without a keyboard or mouse. See Rack Cabinets and Options section for supported IBM racks.
2. Intel Pentium III processor with advanced transfer L2 cache and 133MHz FSB.
3. High-speed, 133MHz SDRAM.
4. Power supply redundancy requires removal of the standard 385W power supply and the addition of either two or three 250W Hot-Swap Redundant Power Supply (P/N
33L3760) and an IBM eServer xSeries Hot-Swap Power Conversion Kit (P/N 24P3513). See xSeries 232 Power, Monitor & Accessories for additional information.
5. xSeries 232 includes two available removable media bays that can be converted to three slim-line (SL) hot-swap bays with the addition of optional 3-Pack Ultra160 Hot-
Swap Expansion Kit (P/N 33L5050).
6. Assumes installation of optional 3-Pack Ultra160 Hot-Swap Expansion Kit (P/N 33L5050), which converts the two available removable media bays into three slim-line (SL)
hot-swap bays.
7. Variable read rate. Actual playback speed will vary and is often less than the maximum possible.
8. The total number of bays can be increased to 11 by installing an optional 3-Pack Ultra160 Hot-Swap Expansion Kit (P/N 33L5050), which converts the two available
removable media bays to three SL hot-swap HDD bays.
