1.5 Model type conversion

Customers who own an IBM pSeries 650 system may convert their system to an

IBM Sserver p5 570 system. System hardware for the new model will consist of one or more drawers to replace the old system chassis. Supported features from the old model will be transferred to the new system.

Model conversions allow any valid number of processors in the new model, regardless of the number of processors in the old model. The valid processor quantities are 2, 4, 8, 12, and 16. Any supported memory and disk drive features that are transferred from the previous system can be counted toward the requirements for no additional charge processor activations, using the same Value Pak rules that apply to new system orders. The p5-570 primary building block retains the serial number of the older IBM pSeries 650. Upon completion, the previous IBM pSeries 650 system will be returned to IBM. Parts that are removed or replaced become the property of IBM. Supported features cannot be ordered on the converted model, but they can be left on or removed from the converted model.

1.6 System racks

The Enterprise Rack Models T00 and T42, which are 19 inches wide, are general-use racks with IBM Sserver p5, pSeries, and RS/6000 rack-based or rack drawer–based systems.

The racks provide increased capacity, greater flexibility, and improved floor space utilization.

The p5-570 uses a 4U rack-mounted server drawer as its basic building block. If a rack is ordered without a door, an enhanced front trim kit (FC 6246 for the T00, or FC 6247 for the T42) provides the additional clearance that is required for the p5-570 bezel.

If an IBM Sserver p5 system is to be installed in a non-IBM rack or cabinet, you should ensure that the rack conforms to the EIA3 standard EIA-310-D. (See 1.6.6, “OEM rack” on page 16.)
