Note 1 Commercial Processing Workload (CPW) is used to measure the performance of all iSe ries and AS/400e processors 
announced from September 1996 onward. The CPW value is measured on maximum configurations. The type and number 
of disk devices, the number of workstation controllers, the amount of memory, the system model, other factors, and the 
application running determine what performance is achievable. 
Note 1a Simple Mail Users (SMU) is a performance measurement introduction with the Dedicated Servers for Domino. 
Note 2 Processor performance represents the re lative performance (maximum capacity) of a processor feature running CPW in a 
client/server environment. Processor capacity is achievable when the commercial workload is not constrained by main 
storage and direct access storage device (DASD). Interactive performance represents the relative performance available to 
perform host-centric workloads. The amount of interactive capacity consumed reduces the available processor capacity by 
the same amount. 
On the Dedicated Servers for Domino, the Processor CPW is an approximate value reflecting the maximum amount of 
non-Domino workload (10 to 15% of CPU) that is supported.
Note 2a Mail and Calendar Users (MCU) is a relative performance measurement derived by performing mail and calendar functions 
using Domino and Notes clients. The MCU workload represents users on a Notes client who are reading, updating or deleting 
documents in an e-mail database. It also represents users who are performing lookups in the Domino directory and 
scheduling calendar appointments and invitations. Reported values reflect 70% processor utilization to allow for growth and 
peak loads in excess of client workload estimates.
Note 3 The total number of tape drives does not increase.
Note 4 One line is used if #5544 System Console on Operations Console is used. One line might be used if #5546 System Console 
on token-ring or #5548 System Console on 100 Mbps Ethernet is selected and the #0367 Operations Console PCI Cable is 
connected.
