It provides 42U of rack space and houses the nodes, selectable I/O assemblies, optional internal battery features, and power subsystem. The System Rack (#5793) must have door assemblies. Door kits containing front and rear doors are available in either slim line or acoustic styles. The Slim Line Door Kit provides a minimized footprint for use where conservation of space is desired. The Acoustic Door Kit provides additional acoustic dampening for use where a quieter environment is desired. The height and weight of the System Rack (#5793)(42U) may require special handling when shipping by air, when moving under a low doorway, or when using certain elevators. The Compact Handling Option (#7960), Shipping Depth Reduction Option (#7964), and Shipping Weight Reduction Option (#6850) are available if deemed required during the Systems Assurance Review. The System Rack (#5793) utilizes redundant power throughout its design. It implements redundant bulk power assemblies, Bulk Power Regulators, power controllers, Power Distribution Assemblies, and associated cabling. The power subsystem provides redundant 350 V dc power to the 575 nodes and I/O drawers. These bulk power assemblies are mounted in front and rear positions and occupy the top 8U of the rack. Power cable groups are used to connect the dc power converters to the bulk power assembly, and in the System Rack, these cable groups contain two UPICs (universal power input cables). Model 575 nodes require one UPIC feature. I/O drawers require two UPIC features (left and right, as viewed from the front of the rack). Included in this data is the rack plug sequence. A rack drawer is 4U high. There are eight rack drawers in the rack. A 575 node is 2U high and two 575 nodes can occupy a rack drawer. An I/O drawer is 4U high. The first rack drawer must contain a 575 node. Drawer 1 -- Feature number 3800 provides power for the 09U dc converter. -- Feature number 3810 provides power for the 11U dc converter. Drawer 2 -- Feature number 7846 provides power for the 05U (or 05U Left) dc converter. -- Feature number 7845 provides power for the 07U (or 05U Right) dc converter. Drawer 3 -- Feature number 7844 provides power for the 01U (or 01U Left) dc converter. -- Feature number 7843 provides power for the 03U (or 01U Right) dc converter. Drawer 4 -- Feature number 3803 provides power for the 19U (or 19U Left) dc converter. -- Feature number 3813 provides power for the 21U (or 19U Right) dc converter. Drawer 5 -- Feature number 3804 provides power for the 23U (or 23U Left) dc converter. -- Feature number 3814 provides power for the 25U (or 23U Right) dc converter. Drawer 6 -- Feature number 3805 provides power for the 27U (or 27U Left) dc converter. -- Feature number 3815 provides power for the 29U (or 27U Right) dc converter. Drawer 7 -- Feature number 3806 provides power for the 31U (or 31U Left) dc converter. -- Feature number 3816 provides power for the 33U (or 31U Right) dc converter. Drawer 8 -- Feature number 3807 provides power for the 13U (or 13U Left) dc converter. -- Feature number 3817 provides power for the 15U (or 13U Right) dc converter. Bulk Power Regulators (#6186) interface to the bulk power assemblies to ensure proper power is supplied to the system components. Bulk Power Regulators are always installed in pairs in the front and rear bulk power assemblies to provide redundancy. The number of Bulk Power Regulators required is configuration-dependent based on the number of 575 nodes and I/O drawers installed

6 The Power Distribution Jumper Assembly, High Current (#6267) is used to maintain the redundant power design of the Bulk Power Regulators and 350 V dc distribution within certain configurations. Bulk Power Regulator/Line cord/#6267 assignment table: Number of p5 575 nodes Number of (1) 6(2) 6 6 6(3) 6 6 #5791 plus (3) # (1) 6(2) (3) 5 6(2) 6 1 Configurations at or above this limit require the line cord with 100A plug (#8686 or #8687), line cord with no plug (#8677), or line cord with 30A plug (#8698 or #8697) to maintain the redundant input power source/line cord condition. Customers have the option of continuing with the 60 amp plug line cords (#8688 or #8689), running in nonredundant mode for input power source/line cords. Customers also have the option of ordering any line cord at any time, except for configuration limitations of note 3. 2 Configurations at or above this limit require the Power Distribution Jumper Assembly, High Current (#6267). Rack configurations with this feature run in N mode for input power source/line cords. 3 Configurations at or above this limit require the line cord with 100A plug (#8686 or #8687), line cord with no plug (#8677), or line cord with 30A plug (#8698 or #8697). These rack configurations with these features only run in nonredundant mode for input power source/line cords. Two line cords are required per System Rack (#5793), and these line cords must be identical features. The System Rack must have two Bulk Power Controller Assemblies (#7803), which provide power distribution and control to the first three rack drawers. The Bulk Power Controller Assembly provides six power connections to support the power converters contained in the model 575 CEC and the I/O drawers. Two optional Power Distribution Assemblies (#7837) are required for system racks having more than three rack drawers containing nodes or I/O drawers. The Power Distribution Assembly provides 10 power connections to support the power converters contained in the model 575 CEC and the I/O drawers. The optional Integrated Battery Backup is available, if desired. The battery backup features protect against power line disturbances and provide sufficient power to allow an orderly system shutdown in the event that the power sources fail. The battery backup features each require 2U of space in the System Rack (#5793). IBF locations within the rack are 13U front/rear, 15U front/rear, and 17U front/rear. If additional external communication and storage devices are required, 7014-T00 or -T42 racks should be ordered. There is no limit on the quantity of 7014 racks allowed. The 575 node contains a dc power converter to provide the required voltages within the node. Logical partitioning Logical partitioning (LPAR) allows the p5-575 node resources to be allocated and for multiple instances of the supported operating systems to be run simultaneously on a single node. LPAR allocation, monitoring, and control is provided by the Hardware Management Console. Each LPAR functions under its own instance of the operating system. A minimum of 128 MB of memory is required per LPAR. Advanced POWER Virtualization and Partition Load Manager The optional Advanced POWER Virtualization feature allows partitions to be created that are in units of less than one CPU (sub-cpu LPARs) and allows the same system I/O to be virtually allocated to these partitions. With Advanced POWER Virtualization, the processors on the system can be partitioned into as many as 10 LPARs per processor. Advanced POWER Virtualization includes Partition Load Manager, which provides cross-partition workload management across the system LPARs. An encryption key is supplied to the customer and installed on the system, authorizing the partitioning at the subprocessor level. Using Advanced POWER Visualization, the p5-575 can be divided into as many as 80 logical partitions. System resources can be dedicated to each LPAR. Advanced POWER Virtualization requires AIX 5L V5.3 or SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 for POWER. System control Each p5-575 node must be connected to a Hardware Management Console (HMC) for system control, LPAR, and service functions. The HMC is capable of supporting multiple POWER5 nodes. Each p5-575 node can be connected to two HMCs for redundancy, if desired. The p5-575 is connected to the HMC via Ethernet connections. Each 575 connects to the integrated Ethernet hubs within the System Rack (#5793). The hubs are connected to the HMC through two Ethernet Cable, HMC Attaches (#7801 or #7802). I/O drawers The p5-575 utilizes optional 4U-tall remote I/O drawers (#5791 or #5794) for additional directly attached PCI or PCI-X adapters and SCSI disk capabilities. Each I/O drawer is divided into halves. Each half contains 10 blind-swap PCI-X slots and one or two Ultra3 SCSI 4-pack backplanes for a total of 20 PCI slots and up to 16 hot-swap disk bays per drawer. Existing D I/O drawers may be attached to a p5-575 node, if available. Only D I/O drawers containing PCI-X planars (#6571) are supported. Any PCI planars (#6563) must be replaced with PCI-X planars before the drawer can be attached. Only adapters supported on the p5-575 feature I/O drawers are supported in D I/O drawers, if attached. Non-supported adapters must be removed before attaching the drawer to the p5-575 node

7 A maximum of one I/O drawer can be connected to a p5-575 node. One single-wide, blind-swap cassette (equivalent to those in #4599) is provided in each PCI-X slot of the I/O drawer. Cassettes not containing an adapter will be shipped with a dummy card installed to ensure proper environmental characteristics for the drawer. If additional single-wide, blind-swap cassettes are needed, feature number 4599 should be ordered. All 10 PCI-X slots on each I/O drawer planar are capable of supporting either 64-bit or 32-bit PCI or PCI-X adapters. Each I/O drawer planar provides 10 PCI-X slots capable of supporting 3.3 V signaling PCI or PCI-X adapters operating at speeds up to 133 MHz. Each I/O drawer planar incorporates two integrated Ultra3 SCSI adapters for direct attachment of the two 4-pack hot-swap backplanes in that half of the drawer. These adapters do not support external SCSI device attachments. Each half of the I/O drawer is powered separately. I/O drawer attachment A system I/O drawer is always connected to the model 575 CEC via the 575 I/O assembly (#7210). Drawer connections are always made in loops to help protect against a single point-of-failure resulting from an open, missing, or disconnected cable. Systems with non-looped configurations could experience degraded performance and serviceability. I/O drawers may be connected to the CEC in either single-loop or dual-loop mode. Dual-loop mode is recommended whenever possible as it provides the maximum bandwidth between the I/O drawer and the CEC. Single-loop mode connects an entire I/O drawer to the CEC via one RIO-2 loop (2 ports). The two I/O planars in the I/O drawer are connected together via a short RIO-2 cable (#7924). Single-loop connection requires one loop (2 ports) per I/O drawer. Dual-loop mode connects a single I/O planar in the drawer to the CEC. Only one non-system-connected I/O planar (right side, as viewed from the front of the system) will be allowed per multisystem order (per CFR). A non-system-connected I/O planar will be identified as a feature number 5791 or 5794 without feature number 7924, and only two RIO-2 cables. Disks, boot devices, and media devices A minimum of two identical internal SCSI hard disk drives are required per p5-575 node. It is highly recommended that these disks be used as mirrored boot devices. This configuration provides service personnel the maximum amount of diagnostic information if the system encounters errors in the boot sequence. The p5-575 incorporates an Early Power Off Warning (EPOW) capability that assists in performing an orderly system shutdown in the event of a sudden power loss. IBM recommends use of the Integrated Battery Backup features or an uninterruptible power system (UPS) to help ensure against loss of data due to power failures. PCI and PCI-X slots and adapters System maximum limits for adapters and devices may not provide optimal system performance. These limits are given for connectivity and functionality assurance. Configuration limitations have been established to help ensure appropriate PCI or PCI-X bus loading, adapter addressing, and system and adapter functional characteristics when ordering I/O drawers. These I/O drawer limitations are in addition to individual adapter limitations shown in the feature descriptions section. Keyboards and displays USB keyboards supporting various language groups can be ordered with the I/O drawer for use with native-attached displays on the p A three-button USB mouse connects to the USB keyboard. A variety of flat panel and CRT displays are available to support graphics adapters, if desired. Adapters Most PCI and PCI-X adapters for the p5-575 system are capable of being hot-plugged. Any PCI adapter supporting a boot device or system console should not be hot-plugged. The following adapters are not hot-plug-capable: POWER GXT135P Graphics Accelerator with Digital Support (#2849) 2-Port Multiprotocol PCI Adapter (#2962) The e-config user has control of the functional associations between p5-575 CECs and the I/O drawer features. The e-config and manufacturing procedures handle the physical placement of power modules, integrated battery features, drawers, and their power connections to comply with the technical attributes, RAS capabilities, and limitations of the p5-575 (#5793) rack. The e-config positions the rack content during system validation. The feature number 5793 rack is ordered on the first p5-575 node in the configuration. Stand-alone p5-575 nodes can be ordered without a feature number 5793 rack. Rack features will not be validated by e-config on stand-alone p5-575 orders that do not include an existing feature number 5793 rack during e-config MES sessions. Rules for racking p5-575 components: The p5-575 CECs will be placed first at the lower 2U of a 4U drawer, placed next at the upper 2U of a 4U drawer. Both EIA positions in a 4U drawer will be filled before a new CEC drawer position can be filled. At validation: 1. E-config will assign rack locations to all p5-575 nodes that include an I/O drawer (#5791 or #5794) with feature number E-config will: Assign rack locations to a p5-575 node that includes an I/O drawer (#5791 or #5794) with four RIO-2 cables and without feature number Assign rack position features to a p5-575 node that does not include an I/O drawer (#5791 or #5794), but is connected to the second I/O planar within an I/O drawer. Iterate until all nodes in this category are placed. 3. E-config will assign rack position features to p5-575 systems that include an I/O drawer (#5791 or #5794)

8 with two RIO-2 cables and without feature number E-config will assign rack position features to p5-575 systems that do not include an I/O drawer (#5791 or #5794), and are not connected to the second I/O planar within an I/O drawer via RIO-2 cables. Notes When ordered, the IBFs have a fixed position in Rack EIA 13, second IBF in EIA 15, and third IBF in EIA 17. Only one non-system-connected I/O planar (the right side of the I/O drawer as viewed from the front of the rack) will be allowed per multisystem order (per CFR).

IBM Electronic Services IBM Global Services has transformed its delivery of hardware and software support services to put you on the road to higher systems availability. IBM Electronic Services is a Web-enabled solution that provides you with an exclusive, no-additional-charge enhancement to the service and support on the IBM eserver. You should benefit from greater system availability due to faster problem resolution and preemptive monitoring. IBM Electronic Services is comprised of two separate but complementary elements: IBM Electronic Services news page and IBM Electronic Service Agent. IBM Electronic Services news page provides you with a single Internet entry point that replaces the multiple entry points traditionally used by customers to access IBM Internet services and support. By using the news page, it enables you to gain easier access to IBM resources for assistance in resolving technical problems. The IBM Electronic Service Agent is no-additional-charge software that resides on your IBM eserver system that is designed to proactively monitor events and transmit system inventory information to IBM on a periodic customer-defined timetable. The IBM Electronic Service Agent tracks system inventory, hardware error logs, and performance information. If the server is under a current IBM maintenance service agreement or within the IBM warranty period, the Service Agent automatically reports hardware problems to IBM. Early knowledge about potential problems enables IBM to provide proactive service that maintains higher system availability and performance. In addition, information collected through the Service Agent will be made available to IBM service support representatives when they are helping answer your questions or diagnosing problems.
