1. Housed in a 19in rack-mountable drawer. See Rack Cabinets and Options section for supported IBM
racks. Ships with one 3.5m Remote I/O Cable Kit (P/N 31P6102) and one 3.5m Interconnect
Management Cable Kit (P/N 31P6087). Eight-meter cables are available as options (P/N 31P6103,
31P6088).
2. N+1 power supply redundancy is provided standard.Two 370w Hot-Swap Redundant Power
Supplies (P/N 31P6108) ship installed in the RXE-100.
3. RXE-100 management controller interfaces with Remote Supervisor Adapter standard in xSeries 360
using the standard 3.5m Interconnect Management Cable Kit (P/N 31P6087) or the 8m option (P/N
31P6088).
4. RXE-100 ships with six full-length, 64-bit PCI-X slots supporting three 133MHz adapters or six
100MHz adapters. Adapters rated at 33 or 66MHz restrict PCI buses in which they are installed to the
frequency of the slowest adapter.
5. Support for additional six 64-bit slots available through installation of the optional Remote I/O PCI-X
6-slot Expansion Kit (P/N 31P5998). Remote I/O connection is cabled internally within the RXE-100
enclosure using the secondary connector on each PCI-X 6-slot Expansion Kit, i.e., only one connection
between the server and RXE-100 is required. Although the six slots are hot-swap, the expansion kit
itself is not hot-swap.
