1 Hardware Announcement October 15, 2004 IBM i5 520, 550, and 570 servers now even more functional, flexible, and affordable Overview The IBM i5 server line, introduced in May 2004, is enhanced. Support for the new PCI-X Ultra4 RAID disk controllers is extended to earlier iseries servers. Lower software tier for the model more upgrade paths The model 520 software tier is reduced from P30 to P20. This reduces the cost of the 2-way 520, and makes it more attractive when comparing it to the larger 1/4-way model 550, which also uses a P20 software tier. Also, it s now easier to move to the POWER5 capability of the 520 with more upgrade paths from models 810, 820, and 830 directly into the 2-way 520. Integrated xseries server features Integrated xseries server (IXS) features can help you reduce the cost and complexity of deploying and managing Intel servers supporting Microsoft Windows or Linux operating systems. The new IXS features offer: 2.0 GHz Intel Pentium M processor 1 GB base server memory Built-in dual 1 Gbps Ethernet adapters Enabled for Windows and Linux operating systems Storage features The 5790 PCI-X Expansion Unit is a very granular offering of six PCI-X slots in a compact rack-mounted package. Twelve PCI-X slots are held in just four EIA units in a 19-inch rack. The 2780 PCI-X Ultra4 RAID Disk Controller is now also supported on iseries models 270, 800, 810, 820, 825, 830, 840, 870, and 890 using either i5/os V5R3 or OS/400 V5R2. The 2780 provides a RAID disk controller with a concurrent maintenance battery for greater availability and a large read and write cache for higher performance. Racking enhancements Model 520 can be converted from deskside to rack-mount. OEM rack-mounted options are deeper rail options for models 520 and 550. A 2-meter rack is available in addition to the current 1.8-meter rack.

With integrated xseries server features, i5 servers can manage and extend storage resources to the Integrated xseries Server. Integrating Intel servers supporting Windows and Linux with your i5 server through the Integrated xseries Server or xseries servers attached with Integrated xseries Adapters enables you to leverage your i5 server for: Centralized virtual storage Operations Management of your i5/os, Windows, and Linux server infrastructure The new Integrated xseries Server feature for i5 servers has a 2.0 GHz Intel Pentium M processor with 2 MB of L2 cache. It ships with a base of 1 GB of server memory and integrated dual 1 Gbps Ethernet adapters, and is enabled for Windows and Linux operating systems. It can be used to replace older Intel servers with more performance and reliability. It can be a stable and affordable foundation for you to deploy new Windows or Linux applications on an Intel server integrated physically within an IBM i5 server. Benefits of integrated xseries servers: Consolidated backup of xseries servers and i5 servers Integration of user management and passwords between i5/os and Windows Ability for iseries operators to monitor and control the Integrated xseries Servers Ability to communicate between Windows applications and i5/os partitions via 1Gb virtual Ethernet connections Ability to integrate Intel architecture servers to the i5 server 5790 PCI-X Expansion Unit The #5790 PCI-X Expansion Unit gives you six full-length, 64-bit PCI-X adapter slots requiring only four units of vertical space in an IBM 19-inch rack such as the #0551. Two 5790 units can fit side by side within a #7311 enclosure providing a total of 12 PCI-X slots in four units of space. Each #5790 has HSL-2 connections and uses blind swap cassettes to enclose and insert each PCI adapter. Hot-plug PCI adapter slots, redundant hot-plug power and cooling and dual line cords are standard. Feature Matrix A indicates features available for ordering on the specified models.

Product positioning Innovative integration to simplify managing Intel servers Enables support for up to 8-way Intel Xeon processors Provides greater expansion options for additional memory and PCI cards If you have an i5 server, consider the new Pentium M-based Integrated xseries Server to support applications you are deploying on Intel servers. Consider external xseries servers attached to your i5 system if you require a larger number of Intel servers to integrate or if you need a 2-way, 4-way, or 8-way Intel server to support your Windows and/or Linux applications. If you have Linux applications running on Intel servers, you can leverage i5/os storage and operations by deploying on Integrated xseries Servers or xseries attached via Integrated xseries Adapters PCI-X Expansion Unit The 5790 PCI-X Expansion Unit is most comparable to the #0588 PCI-X Expansion Unit. Both units are installed in a 19-inch rack and provide PCI-X slots and no space inside the expansion unit for disk drives or removable media devices. The older #0588 provides 14 slots, attaches at HSL-1 speed, and uses eight EIA units in the rack. The new 5790 provides six slots, attaches at HSL-2 speed, and uses four EIA units (half-width) in the rack. The #0588 is supported on models 520, 550, 570, 595, 800, 810, 820, 825, 830, 840, 870, and 890. #5790 is supported on models 520, 550, and 570. Many companies with iseries servers have deployed stand-alone Intel servers to meet specific application or infrastructure requirements. These servers and the Windows or Linux applications or functions they support have grown more crucial over time and now require: Enhanced application integration Higher levels of security Improved availability Better control of escalating administration costs You have three outstanding options for Intel server integration with i5 servers: Integrated xseries Server for i5 servers Plugs into the system unit or I/O expansion unit of i5 servers 2.0 GHz Intel Pentium M processor with 2 MB L2 cache Built-in dual 1 Gbps Ethernet adapters Integrated xseries Server for iseries servers Plugs into the system unit or I/O expansion unit of iseries Supported in I/O expansion towers that migrate to i5 servers 2.0 GHz Low Voltage Intel Xeon processor with 512K L2 cache Built-in 100/10Mbps Ethernet Adapter Integrated xseries Adapters for the iseries family of servers (external) Plugs into selected n-way xseries servers, directly attaching them to i5 or iseries servers Enables identical iseries integration features as Integrated xseries Server Trademarks iseries, POWER5, and EIA are trademarks of International Business Machines Corporation in the United States or other countries or both.
