8. 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.
9. ServeRAID-5i (P/N 25P3492) supports both Ultra320 and Ultra160 HDDs in a dedicated or mixed environment. The adapter installs into PCI slot four and converts both channels of the
onboard SCSI controller to RAID in conjunction with the LSI 1020/30 chipset. Both the standard and the optional SCSI HDD backplanes cable directly to the onboard controller connectors.
Some tape drives can be supported either internally or externally on the second channel of an integrated controller managed by ServeRAID-5i if the bus is designated as SCSI during RAID
setup. 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.
10. See Fibre Channel Solutions Overview section for additional configuration information.
11. xSeries 235 includes a copper integrated 10/100/1000Mbps Broadcom (BCM5703) single-port Ethernet controller.
12. 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.Two optional Ethernet adapters are copper and Intel-based
(P/N 06P3601, 22P6801). Two are Broadcom-based (P/N 22P7801, 31P6301).
13. The Wake on LAN (WoL) function provided by this Ethernet PCI adapter is supported in this system.
14. xSeries 235 provided three USB ports (two on the rear of the chassis and one on the front), one serial port, two RS-485 ports for system management and one parallel port.
15. Due to homologation variances, modem availability may differ by country.
16. When installed in xSeries 235, Remote Supervisor Adapter (RSA) shares functionality with the integrated service processor and serves as interface for both. RSA provides full system
management functionality through a customer-supplied Ethernet cable or modem connection or as part of an interconnected system management bus (option includes all interconnect
hardware). An external Cat5 connection between RSA and the integrated service processor using the pigtail cable and short Cat5 cable supplied with RSA is not required. The 20-pin ribbon
cable connecting RSA to the planar meets all powering and signaling requirements. Connection of the external AC power supply provided with RSA is not required.
17. 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.
18. Models 4xX with 400MHz FSB support most PCI adapters also in slot one.
