The integrated system ports are supported for modem and async terminal connections. Any other application using serial ports requires a serial port adapter

to be installed in a PCI slot. The integrated system ports do not support HACMPTM configurations.

Hardware management console (HMC) machine code

If attaching an HMC to a new server or adding function to an existing server that requires a firmware update, the HMC machine code may need to be updated.

To determine the HMC machine code level required for the firmware level on any server, go to the following Web page to access the Fix Level Recommendation Tool (FLRT) on or after the planned availability date for this product. FLRT will identify the correct HMC machine code for the selected system firmware level

http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/flrt/home

If a single HMC is attached to multiple servers, the HMC machine code level must be updated to the server with the most recent firmware level. All prior levels of server firmware are supported with the latest HMC machine code level.

Boot requirements

Selection of feature 0837 will indicate boot from SAN.

If IBM i (#2145) is selected as the primary operating system and SAN boot is not selected (#0837), one of the following Load/Source specify codes must be specified:

#0835 -- #4327 (70.56 GB 15K RPM HDD) Load Source Specify

#0836 -- #4328 (141.12 GB 15K RPM HDD) Load Source Specify

#0838 -- #3676 (69.7 GB 15K RPM HDD) Load Source Specify

#0839 -- #3677 (139.5 GB 15K RPM HDD) Load Source Specify

#0840 -- #3678 (283.7 GB 15K RPM HDD) Load Source Specify

#0841 -- #4329 (282.25 GB 15K RPM HDD) Load Source Specify

#0844 -- #3658 (428 GB 15K RPM HDD) Load Source Specify

#0851 -- #1884 (69.7 GB 15K RPM SFF HDD) Load Source Specify

#0853 -- #1888 (138 GB 15K RPM SFF HDD) Load Source Specify

#0854 -- #1890 (69 GB SFF SSD) Load Source Specify

#0855 -- #3586 (69 GB SSD) Load Source Specify

If IBM i (#2145) is selected and the load source disk unit is not in the CEC (system unit), one of the following specify codes must also be selected:

#0725 -- Remote Load Source in #5786 or #5787 TotalStorage EXP24 Expansion Drawer/Tower

#0726 -- Remote Load Source in #5802 12X I/O Drawer PCIe, SFF Disk

#0727 -- Remote Load Source in #5886 EXP 12S Expansion Drawer

#0837 -- SAN Load Source Specify (Boot from SAN)

If IBM i (#2145) is selected, one of the following system console specify codes must be selected:

#5550 -- System Console on HMC

#5553 -- System Console - Internal LAN

Processor cards

A minimum of one processor card is required on an order with a maximum of 32 processor cores on four processor cards.

One, two, three, or four 6-core 3.3 GHz (#8335), or 8-core 3.0 GHz (#8332)/3.3 GHz (#8334) processor cards may be installed in a system. Four 8-core 3.55 GHz (#8336) processor cards may be installed in a system.
