IBM manual Summary of System i 525 configurations, Way

•One half-high slot for removable media

•Two slimline slots for DVD drives

•Two 1 Gbps/100 Mbps/10 Mbps Ethernet LAN ports

•Two SPCN ports

•Two serial ports

•Two HMC ports

•Two USB ports

•Disk/DVD/tape controller

i5/OS V5R4 supports the use of all of the preceding hardware elements except one slimline slot, two serial ports, and two USB ports. These components are reserved for other operating systems running on the model 525.

Neither the integrated controller nor the integrated Ethernet adapter, which drives the two Ethernet LAN ports, uses any of the six PCI-X slots. You can add 40 MB write cache to the integrated disk controller for a disk performance boost and to enable RAID-5 capability and still require no PCI-X slot. An IOP or ECS WAN adapter can be included as part of the edition definition. Each uses one of the six PCI-X slots.

The model 525 system unit supports hot-plug disk slots, hot-plug PCI-X slots, and redundant hot-plug cooling fans. An optional redundant hot-plug power supply is available.

Order the model 525 as a 9406-525. It comes with a one-year hardware warranty with 24 x 7 and same-business-day service.

The model 525 system unit can be greatly expanded using I/O expansion towers/drawers that include additional PCI slots and disk slots. Up to six I/O towers/drawers can be attached via a high speed link (HSL) loop. In addition, Integrated xSeries Adapters can be located on the HSL loop, providing IBM System x integration.
