1. xSeries 445 architecture optimizes memory and bus performance using an XA-32 core chipset with up to two CPU/memory cards and two PCI-X host-bridge controllers. Up to eight
Pentium Xeon MP processors are supported. The recommended order of processor installation is shown in the accompanying diagrams (not applicable for models 3RY and 4RY, which
support two processors only in each SMP Expansion Module installed in the two sockets located adjacent to the memory ports). In models 1RX and 2RX, two processors are standard
with additional support for either two optional processors (total of four) or six optional processors (total of eight). In model 4RX, four processors are standard and four additional
processors and an SMP module are required when upgrading. Eight processors require an SMP Expansion Module. Models 2RY and 3RY are limited to two Xeon DP processors in each
SMP Expansion Module, but can be upgraded by replacing the standard processors with Xeon MP processors.
2. A maximum of eight processors may be installed. All processors must be identical in type, speed and cache size. The fifth through eighth processors require an SMP Expansion
Module prepopulated with four processors (second SMP Expansion Module supported only when fully populated).
3. Requires removal of standard processors. A maximum of eight processors may be installed. Installation of greater than four processors requires the addition of an SMP Expansion
Module. All processors must be identical in type, speed and cache size. Upgrades may require a BIOS update.To obtain the latest Flash BIOS, access www.pc.ibm.com/support and
enter machine "Type-Model" in Quick Path. Select "Downloadable files" then "BIOS."
4. The fifth through eighth processors for models 1 ... 4RX require this option, which installs directly above the standard CPU/memory board. Two 250mm/10in scalability cables (P/N
24P1243) are included with the option. See SMP Expansion Module cabling diagrams below for scalability cabling configuration. Four CPUs are required with the optional SMP
Expansion Module. A minimum of four RDIMMs installed in each SMP Expansion Module are required (not included). Memory mirroring requires a minimum of eight RDIMMs in each
SMP Expansion Module.
5. Required to upgrade 3RY from two to the maximum of four Xeon processors. Memory options are not included. Both models 3RY and 4RY can be upgraded by replacing the standard
processors with Xeon MP processors. The same SMP Expansion Module is used, which supports up to four Xeon MP processors.
6 IBM offers configure-to-order (CTO) capability for selected products through Easy Access. Although similar to machine type models (MTM), CTO systems utilize different part numbers
called Sales Building Blocks (SBB). The contents of an option may not entirely correspond to an SBB because only a certain component within an option package may be required to
configure a specific system. Additional or different configuration rules or limitations may apply to the SBB. When a difference occurs, the rules will be documented in the tables,
diagrams or footnotes.
