1. Adapters rated at a lower frequency than the slots in which they are installed will reduce the bus to the frequency of the slowest adapter. 133MHz PCI-X adapters are backward compatible
with 33/66MHz, 64-bit PCI-based servers.
2. Hot-plug feature only supported in systems with Active PCI slots. For network operating system support, point your browser to www.pc.ibm.com/us/compat.
3. ServeRAID-4H Ultra160 SCSI Controller is powered by a 266MHz PowerPC 750 processor and provides 128MB of battery-backed ECC cache with two internal and four external Ultra160
connectors (a combination of four connectors may be utilized). External connectors are 0.8mm VHDCI.
4. ServeRAID-4Mx Ultra160 SCSI Controller is powered by a 100MHz Intel Zion GC80303 processor that provides 64MB of battery-backed ECC cache and two internal and two external
Ultra160 connections (only two connectors may be used simultaneously). External connectors are 0.8mm VHDCI.
5. ServeRAID-4Lx Ultra160 SCSI Controller is powered by a 100MHz Intel Zion GC80303 processor and provides a single channel, 32MB of ECC cache and either one internal or one external
Ultra160 connection. External connector is 0.8mm VHDCI.
6. ServeRAID-5i Controller (P/N 25P3492) supports both Ultra320 and Ultra160 HDDs in a dedicated or mixed environment, allowing each HDD to perform at rated capacity. The adapter
installs into limited PCI slots and converts both channels of the integrated SCSI controller to RAID in conjunction with the LSI 1020/30 chipset. Both standard and the optional SCSI HDD
backplanes as well as internal tape drives and external SCSI devices cable directly to the onboard controller connectors. Supports up to 528MB/s data transfers across the PCI bus with
128MB ECC SDRAM write-back cache with battery backup. Supports RAID levels 0, 1, 10, 5, 50 and 1E. The option includes brackets for installation in both low-profile and standard PCI slots.
Internal and external tape drives are supported by ServeRAID-5i only when a second channel on the integrated controller is available and the RAID configuration designates the second
channel as a conventional SCSI bus. See system sections for supported tape drives.
7. ATA133 RAID Controller (P/N 71P8592) supports RAID levels 0, 1 and 10 on up to four ATA66, 100 or 133 EIDE HDDs. The dual channel IDE controller includes two internal 40-pin connectors,
two 18-inch single-drop IDE cables (P/N 02R0719) and two 23-inch two-drop IDE cables (P/N 02R0721).
8. PCI Wide Ultra160 SCSI Adapter (P/N 19K4646) provides a single channel with one internal connector, a five-drop multi-mode terminated LVD SCSI cable and one external 0.8mm VHDCI
connector. Only one of the two connectors may be utilized. Hardware is included in the option to support either low-profile or full-size installations.
9. Single Channel Ultra320 SCSI Controller (P/N 71P8594) provides a single channel with one 68-pin internal connector, a four-drop multimode terminated LVD SCSI cable and one external
0.8mm VHDCI connector. Only one of the two connectors may be utilized. Hardware is included in the option to support either low-profile (2U) or full-size (3U) installations.
10. See Fibre Channel Solutions Overview section for additional configuration information.
11. In a fault-tolerant networking environment, using the fault-tolerant software delivered with the Ethernet adapters of a single manufacturer is recommended. Installing fault-tolerant solutions
provided by multiple manufacturers may cause failures if the intermediate drivers provided with the adapters are not compatible. See individual system I/O Options sections for additional
information on adapter driver compatibility.
12. For use of the Alert on LAN 2 features in the Desktop adapter, the system must be enabled with IBM-compatible Alert on LAN 2 hardware and software components. Use of the Wake on
LAN function requires a PCI 2.2 compatible system that supports Wake on LAN and provides auxiliary 3.3v power through the PCI bus.
13. Use of the Wake on LAN function requires a PCI 2.2 compatible system that supports Wake on LAN and provides auxiliary power through the PCI bus.
14. Use of the Wake on LAN function requires a PCI 2.1 or 2.2-compatible system that supports Wake on LAN and provides auxiliary power through the 5v Wake on LAN cable provided with
the adapter via a 3-pin header in the system planar.
15. Up to 24 Integrated System Management Processors or Remote Supervisors Adapters may be interconnected with an aggregate connection length of no more than 91.4m (300ft). This
interconnect network of 24 devices may also include a maximum of 12 Advanced System Management Processors or advanced System Management PCI Adapters. A customer-supplied
Cat5 cable is required for each interconnection.
16. When a standard Remote Supervisor Adapter or ASM PCI Adapter is installed in a dedicated PCI slot with an external connector, support for connection to other servers in an ASM
interconnect network requires an optional Advanced System Management Interconnect Cable Kit
(P/N 03K9309). Where applicable, direct connection to the RXE drawer management controller in an RXE-100 Remote Expansion Enclosure is supported through a standard Interconnect
Management Cable Kit with 3.5m cable (8m optional cable is available). Support is provided through a single LAN or modem connection.
17. Remote Supervisor Adapter (P/N 09N7585) includes an adapter card, 20-pin ribbon cable, AC power adapter, power cable, power cable for UPS attachment, single pigtail cable, two
RS-485 terminators and 1ft Cat5 cable.
18. Remote Supervisor Adapter II (P/N 59P2984) includes an internal 20-pin ribbon cable for connection to the system planar, an interconnect cable, a 56w AC power adapter, an intrarack
power cable and a country-specific wall power cord. External connectors include an RS230 (9-pin) serial port, 10/100 base T Ethernet port (RJ-45), interconnect port (RJ-11) and power
connector. The interconnect cable includes a single RJ-11 connector and dual RJ-48 ports. Supports an interconnect network of up to 24 RSAs or ISMPs with aggregate cable connection
length of 300ft (91.4m) or less. No more than 12 ASMPs are supported in an interconnect network. RJ-45 bus is self-terminating, i.e., terminators are not required for the interconnect bus.
19. Due to homologation variances, modem availability differs by country. 19K4162 is supported by Windows operating systems only.
20. Some xSeries servers support the IXA Adapter (P/N 1519100) for connection to iSeries models. Refer to system sections for PCI slot restrictions.
21. RXE-100 Remote Expansion Enclosure supports up to 12 additional PCI-X slots. Cable required for connection included with expansion unit, which attaches to a standard integrated RIO
port located on the back of the system chassis. An optional longer cable is available. Refer to RXE-100 section for diagrams and supported options.
22. Required to connect ServeRAID-4H, -4Mx or -4Lx in xSeries 235 and ServeRAID-4Mx or -4Lx in xSeries 345 to the hot-swap backplane.
23. Required to enable external 0.8mm VHDCI connectors on some systems..
24. Required to enable external 68-pin high-density SCSI connector on some IntelliStation systems.
25. When supported, this option can be used for certain external device connections when only USB ports rather than serial or parallel ports are present on a system chassis.
26. Available only in the US.
27. The option includes brackets for installation in both low-profile and full-size PCI slots.
28. This adapter is designed using PCI-X technology.
29. Although the voltage key of this adapter is universal (compatible with 3.3 or 5v slots), the BIOS of each system limits installation to a specific PCI slot.
