or IBM Marketing Representative for assistance with your specific configuration requirements.
High Availability Application Server
1. Four HDDs are used for RAID 5 protection. Effective capacity is three HDDs or 54.6GB.
This tower server is configured to act as the foundation for business critical applications your business cannot afford to be without. Configured with enough HDD
storage to mirror the operating system and provide a standard RAID 5 environment for data, optional hot-swap redundant power and UPS for power even during a
blackout, this server represents the leading edge in high availability. An internal tape drive is included to back up that all important asset--data. A modem could be
included to allow out-of-band (non-LAN) system management utilizing the integrated Netfinity Advanced System Management Processor.

Note: xSeries 240 includes a wide two-drop single-ended terminated cable which can be used for attachment of internal tape drives to the onboard Ultra2 controller when the hot-swap
backplane is attached to a RAID controller. If LVD support is required, an optional LVD cable must be ordered. An external Ultra2 SCSI port is available with a 0.8mm VHDCI connector.
External tape enclosures are supported by the standard external SCSI port or PCI Wide Ultra160 SCSI Adapter (P/N 19K4646) which has an external 0.8mm VHDCI connector.
1. Requires PCI Wide Ultra160 SCSI Adapter (P/N 19K4646), which contains a five-drop multi-mode terminated LVD SCSI cable, when the onboard Ultra2 SCSI controller is connected to the
backplane.
2. If the backplane is connected to the onboard Ultra2 SCSI controller, PCI Wide Ultra160 SCSI Adapter (P/N 19K4646), which contains a five-drop multi-mode terminated LVD SCSI cable, is
required to support LVD mode. If the backplane is connected to an optional RAID controller, the two-drop multi-mode terminated LVD SCSI cable included in the Media Bay Tray and LVD
Cable Kit is required to support LVD mode. Connecting an LVD tape device to the single-ended terminated cable shipped with the server limits the tape device to single-ended SCSI rules.
3. If installed in a rack, a fixed shelf is required. Allow an additional 1U for the fixed shelf. One unit only per shelf is supported.
4. LVD support for LVD devices installed in a NetMEDIA Storage Expansion Unit EL (P/N 3551001) requires replacement of the standard single-ended internal cables with one or more
(depending on configuration) cables from Media Bay Tray and LVD Cable Kit (P/N 10K2340) which contains a single two-drop multi-mode terminated cable. If the standard cables are used
for attachment to LVD devices, single-ended SCSI rules and bus speeds apply.
5. Requires 68-pin External Multimode LVD/SE SCSI terminator (P/N 00N7956).
6. Tape library attributes and prerequisites are located in Appendix B: Tape Library Attributes.
7. Install in second drive bay of 3600 Series LTO Tape Libraries or in either of the two bays of 3600 Series 2-Drive 20-Cartridge Expander Module to increase performance. Includes an LTO
(Ultrium) drive and a one-meter external LVD SCSI cable.
8. Provides a black desktop 133mm (5.25in) half-high (HH) tape enclosure. Connector is configurable as 50-pin Centronix or 68-pin high density. Requires either tape drive self termination
or 68-pin External Multimode LVD/SE SCSI Terminator (P/N 00N7956).
9. NetMEDIA Storage Expansion Unit EL (P/N 3551001) is a black 3U, 19in rack mountable tape enclosure which includes two full-high (FH) or four half-high (HH) extended length 133mm
(5.25in) bays, two external 68-pin high density connectors and two internal four-drop single-ended terminated 16-bit SCSI cables for device attachment. Two power supplies and two power
cords are also included. Tip: The front rail clips will need to be reversed and screwed in from behind to secure the unit in a 930842x rack.
10. NetMEDIA Systems Management Adapter (P/N 10L7113) may be installed in a 3551001 to provide repeater function, LVDS interface, aggregate cable lengths up to 12m when attached to
an LVD SCSI controller, and auto-termination when the 3551001 is powered off. External connector is 0.8mm VHDCI.
Note: Additional tape attributes can be found in Appendix A: Tape Drive Attributes.
