1.1 Supported hardware for AIX 5L

AIX 5L Version 5.1 runs on most IBM IntelliStation POWER series, IBM RS/6000, and IBM Sserver pSeries systems. These include the IntelliStation POWER 265 and 275; the pSeries

620, p640, p670, p680, p690; and all models of p610, p615, p630, and p660. The support for AIX 5L Version 5.1 includes RS/6000 Models 150, 170, 260, 270, F50, F80, H50, H70, H80, M80, S70, S7A, S80, and selected older models.

To find out more about supported and unsupported systems, see the Release Notes for

AIX 5L Version 5.1 or 5.2. The latest version can be obtained from the IBM Sserver pSeries Information Center at:

http://publib16.boulder.ibm.com/pseries/en_US/infocenter/base/

The Information Center is an information portal for AIX and pSeries customers. From this site, information can be accessed, such as AIX documentation, hardware documentation, messages database for 7-digit error codes, links to Redbooks, and much more.

AIX 5L Version 5.1 supports various RS/6000 and pSeries models in a 32-bit and 64-bit environment. Three unique hardware architectures are supported:

￿Micro Channel Architecture (MCA)

￿Power Reference Platform (PreP)

￿Common Hardware Reference Platform (CHRP)

As the root user, use the bootinfo -pcommand to determine the architecture of the system.

Table 1-1lists the possible results of the bootinfo - p command depending on the various RS/6000 or pSeries models.

The 64-bit kernel requires 64-bit hardware. At the time of writing, the following RS/6000 and pSeries models support a 64-bit kernel:

￿IntelliStation POWER Model 265

￿IntelliStation POWER Model 275

￿RS/6000 7013 Models S70 or S7A

￿RS/6000 7015 Models S70 or S7A

￿RS/6000 7017 Models S70, S7A or S80

￿RS/6000 7025 Models F80

￿RS/6000 7026 Models H70, H80 or M80

￿RS/6000 7043 Models 260, 270

￿RS/6000 7044 Models 170, 270

￿Sserver pSeries 610 Models 6C1 or 6E1

￿Sserver pSeries 615 Models 6C3 or 6E3
