1.3 Minimum and optional features

The p5-570 full configuration system is made of four p5-570 building blocks. It features:

￿Up to eight processor books using the POWER5 chip, for a total of 16 processors

￿From 2 GB to 512 GB of total system memory capacity using DDR1 DIMM technology, or from 2 GB to 64 GB total memory with DDR2 DIMM technology in a four-drawer system

￿24 SCSI disk drives for an internal storage capacity of 3.5 TB using 146.8 GB drives

￿24 PCI-X slots

￿Eight slim-line media bays for optional optical storage devices

The combined system (made of more than one p5-570 building block) requires the proper Processor interconnect cable and the system SP Flex cable. (See 2.2.1, “Processor drawer interconnect cables” on page 24, and 2.4.2, “SP bus” on page 28.)

The p5-570 building block includes the service processor (SP), which is described in 2.10, “Service processor” on page 41, and the following native ports:

￿Two 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports

￿Two serial ports

￿Two USB 2.0 ports

–Optional external USB diskette drive 1.44 (FC 2591) can be used.

￿Two HMC ports

￿Two remote I/O (RIO-2) ports
