IBM IntelliStation - ps-2

1. HDD bays in both the primary and secondary servers in 16-way configurations support boot disks.
2. Removable media bays in the secondary server in 16-way configurations are disabled.
3. Installed standard in bay three. Not compatible with bay four.
4. Install in either bay three or four, requiring removal of standard devices. If only one optical drive is installed, it must be installed in bay four. If a second optical drive is installed, use bay three
configured as slave.
5. Installed standard in bay four.
6. Not supported by the onboard external SCSI port, which supports external tape enclosures only. External SCSI HDD storage requires a RAID controller. Fibre Channel HDD storage requires
a Fibre Channel controller. For HDD expansion unit options, see the specific expansion unit section. For Fibre Channel storage devices, refer to the Fibre Channel Solutions Overview section.
7. EXP300 includes a single 2m Ultra2 SCSI cable and dual hot-swap 500w redundant power supplies, each with its own power cord.
8. FAStT EXP700 Storage Expansion Unit (P/N 17401RU) includes dual hot-swap 400w power supplies, each with its own power cord.
9. FAStT EXP500 Storage Expansion Unit (P/N 35601RU) includes dual hot-swap 350w power supplies, each with its own power cord.
10. The FAStT200 includes two hot-swap, 350w auto-ranging redundant power supplies, each with its own power cord.
11. Can be upgraded to FAStT200 HA Storage Server through the addition of a FAStT200 Redundant RAID Controller (P/N 19K1121)
12. 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.
