This paper is organized into chapters on IBM eServer iSeries and AS/400e processors and
associated towers. The chapters about processors include summary charts that show the
capacity and schematics of each model. Feature descriptions and rules for the processors
are in a chapter common to the supporting model. Features for the Models 820, 830, and 840
are in a stand-alone chapter.
Within each model chapter, the feature section is divided into these categories: power and
packaging, main storage, Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) input/output processor
(IOP) controllers, workstation controllers, communications, local area network (LAN) and
asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) adapters, disk units, internal tape and CD-ROM units,
and magnetic media controllers. Features are listed in numerical sequence within each
category.
External storage components (storage devices and VXA-2 formats), CCIN and feature tables,
software, and cables are organized in stand-alone chapters. They serve to complement the
hardware content described in the mainstay of this paper.

Note 1Commercial Processing Workload (CPW) is used to measure the performance of all iSeries and AS/400e processors
announced from September 1996 onward. The CPW value is measured on maximum configurations. The type and number
of disk devices, the number of workstation controllers, the amount of memory, the system model, other factors, and the
application being run determine what performance is achievable. With the introduction of the Dedicated Servers for Domino,
Simple Mail Users has been added as a performance measurement.
The constrained figures are for the 9406 Model 170 with its maximum configuration. The unconstrained figures show what
the performance would be if the processor was not limited by the maximum main storage and direct access storage device
(DASD) of the Model 170.
Note 2Processor performance represents the relative performance (maximum capacity) of a processor feature running CPW in a
client/server environment. Processor capacity is achievable when the commercial workload is not constrained by main
storage and DASD. Interactive performance represents the relative performance available to perform host-centric
workloads. The amount of interactive capacity consumed reduces the available processor capacity by the same amount.
Note 3The Integrated Server is mutually exclusive with the high-speed slot C03 for LAN, ATM or communications in the base
system unit.
Note 4One line is used by the Operations Console or Client Access Console if selected. The total is reduced by one if a Twinaxial
Console is selected. To reach the maximum of 18 communication lines using the #2745/#9745 in slot C03, remove the base
LAN adapter.
Note 5Base system totals are the maximum for the #2289 processor. The #2289 processor does not support attachment of the
#7101 or #7102 System Expansion Unit.
Note 6Integrated Server can refer to either Integrated PC Server (IPCS) or #2790 PCI Integrated Netfinity Server.

integrated into the IOA and supports multiple analog modem ports (eight phone lines). The #4761 supports the following
protocols without the need for an external modem:
SLIP/PPP (uses V.90, so the maximum line speed is 56 Kbps)
SDLC (uses V.34, so the maximum line speed is 33.6 Kbps)
Fax (uses V.17 to achieve a 14.4 Kbps maximum line speed)
An ASYNC line description is required for Fax and can only be used for Fax. The ECS line is not supported. To the iSeries
or AS/400e server, the #4761 appears like a single IOA with eight individual line resources available. Eight 30-ft (8 m)
phone cables are shipped with each #4761. For configuration purposes, each #4761 counts as eight communications lines
toward the system communication maximums.

#0208#0208 No Alternate Install Device Use Required
The #0208 No Alternate Install Device Use Required specify feature instructs manufacturing to place the external tape
adapter on the Multi-adapter Bridge of the system unit. With this configuration, a client is not required to select or use the
Alternative Installation Device option in conjunction with a D-mode IPL (using Boot Manager in DST). A higher cost system
configuration can result due to the need of additional PCI controller cards. If placement on the first Multi-adapter Bridge is
not possible due to other system constraints, the IBM marketing configurator flags the order as invalid.
Adding the #0208 specify feature on an order forces manufacturing to place the external tape adapter on the first system
bus. Having the external tape adapter on the first system bus does not require a client to use the Alternative Installation
Device option of DST in conjunction with a D-mode IPL.
Forcing the external tape adapter on the first system bus can result in a higher cost system configuration due to the need
of additional PCI IOPs. When selected in the IBM marketing configurator, the external alternate IPL tape controller must
be placed on the first system bus. If due to other system constraints such placement of the alternate IPL tape controller is
not possible, then the order is not valid and flagged as such.

Note 1Commercial Processing Workload (CPW) is used to measure the performance of all iSeries and AS/400e processors
announced from September 1996 onward. The CPW value is measured on maximum configurations. The type and number
of disk devices, the number of workstation controllers, the amount of memory, the system model, other factors, and the
application being run determine what performance is achievable.
Note 2Processor performance represents the relative performance (maximum capacity) of a processor feature running CPW in a
client/server environment. Processor capacity is achievable when the commercial workload is not constrained by main
storage and direct access storage device (DASD). Interactive performance represents the relative performance available
to perform host-centric workloads. The amount of interactive capacity consumed reduces the available processor capacity
by the same amount.
Note 3The Integrated Server is mutually exclusive with the high-speed slot C03 for LAN, ATM, or communication in the base
system unit.
Note 4One line is used by the Operations Console if selected.
Note 5The total number of external tape drives does not increase.

compression, the #2748 works as a high-performance controller for disks protected by system mirroring or disks with no
protection.
The #2748 supports a maximum of 10 disk units. A minimum of four disk units of the same capacity is needed for a valid
RAID-5 configuration. A maximum of two arrays is allowed per controller, with a maximum of 10 disk units per array. All
disk units in an array must be of the same capacity. Parity is spread across four disk units for arrays of four to seven disk
units. For systems started with eight disk units in an array, the parity for that array is spread across eight disk units. For
systems started with less than eight disk units in an array and later upgraded to eight, nine or 10 disk units, the RAID
function must be stopped and then started before the parity is spread across eight disk units.
The #2748 supports one CD-ROM and one internal tape unit, and concurrent DASD add/maintenance.
The #2748 also supports the #6831 1.6 GB Read Cache Device, which is mutually exclusive with DASD compression.
Required: Disk controller PCI card slot C07
Maximum: One
#2763#2763 PCI RAID Disk Unit Controller — 10 MB Cache (RAID/Mirrored/Unprotected)
The #2763 is an Ultra2 SCSI controller with a 10 MB write-cache that provides RAID-5 protection for internal disk units
and supports up to two removable media devices (internal tape units and CD-ROM units). The #2763 is designed to
control Ultra, Fast Wide, and Fast Narrow SCSI disk and tape units that are installed in the base system unit and the
#7102 System Expansion Unit. In addition to providing RAID-5 protection for disks, the #2763 is also designed to work
as a high performance controller for disks protected by system mirroring or disks with no protection. In a RAID-5
configuration, disk unit protection is provided at less cost than mirroring, and with better performance than system
checksum.
The #2763 controller supports a maximum of 10 drives. A minimum of four drives of the same capacity are needed for a
valid RAID-5 configuration. A maximum of two arrays is allowed with a maximum of a 10 drives allowed per array. All
drives in an array must be of the same capacity. Parity is spread across four drives for arrays of four to seven drives. Parity
can be spread across either four or eight drives for arrays of eight to 10 drives. For systems started with eight to 10 drives
in an array, the parity for that array is spread across eight drives. For systems that are started with less than eight drives
in an array and are later upgraded to eight, nine, or 10 drives, the RAID function must be stopped and then re-started
before the parity is spread across all eight drives.
Parts are included with the #2763 that are installed in the base system unit to support Concurrent DASD
Add/Maintenance. The #2763 does not support integrated hardware disk compression. It does not support the #6831 1.6
GB Read Cache Device.
The #2763 is selected automatically as the default PCI Disk Unit Controller when five or more DASD files are ordered.
Required: Disk controller PCI card slot C07
Minimum operating system level: OS/400 V4R5
The #2763 is a Customer Install Feature.
The #2763 was withdrawn from marketing on 21 November 2003 for new orders. Conversions to feature #2763 remain
available. The #5703 PCI-X RAID Disk Unit Controller is the recommended replacement.

Note 1Commercial Processing Workload (CPW) is used to measure the performance of all iSeries and AS/400e processors
announced from September 1996 onward. The CPW value is measured on maximum configurations. The type and number
of disk devices, the number of workstation controllers, the amount of memory, the system model, other factors, and the
application running determine what performance is achievable.
Note 1aSimple Mail Users (SMU) is a performance measurement introduction with the Dedicated Servers for Domino.
Note 2Processor performance represents the relative performance (maximum capacity) of a processor feature running CPW in a
client/server environment. Processor capacity is achievable when the commercial workload is not constrained by main
storage and direct access storage device (DASD). Interactive performance represents the relative performance available to
perform host-centric workloads. The amount of interactive capacity consumed reduces the available processor capacity by
the same amount.
On the Dedicated Servers for Domino, the Processor CPW is an approximate value reflecting the maximum amount of
non-Domino workload (10 to 15% of CPU) that is supported.
Note 2aMail and Calendar Users (MCU) is a relative performance measurement derived by performing mail and calendar functions
using Domino and Notes clients. The MCU workload represents users on a Notes client who are reading, updating or deleting
documents in an e-mail database. It also represents users who are performing lookups in the Domino directory and
scheduling calendar appointments and invitations. Reported values reflect 70% processor utilization to allow for growth and
peak loads in excess of client workload estimates.
Note 3The total number of tape drives does not increase.
Note 4One line is used if #5544 System Console on Operations Console is used. One line might be used if #5546 System Console
on token-ring or #5548 System Console on 100 Mbps Ethernet is selected and the #0367 Operations Console PCI Cable is
connected.

Note 55250 CPW (Interactive) is an approximate value that reflects the amount of Processor CPW that can be used for workloads
performing 5250-based tasks.
Task that use a 5250 data stream are considered 5250 online transaction processing (OLTP) work and require some
amount of 5250 CPW to process regardless of how the task was started.
Tasks submitted through a 5250 session (5250 device, 5250 emulation) that do display or printer I/O require 5250 CPW.
Tasks submitted through a 5250 session (5250 device or 5250 emulation) as a “batch” jobs are not considered 5250
OLTP work and do not require any 5250 CPW unless the task does display or printer I/O.
Limited 5250 CPW is available when 5250 Interactive CPW = 0, for a system administrator who wants to use 5250
display device I/O to manage various aspects of the server. Multiple administrative jobs exceed this capability.
Note 5aThere is no Interactive Feature Code card for the base interactive #1516. Interactive performance is included in the base.
Note 6There must be one CD-ROM, DVD-RAM, or DVD-ROM per system.
Note 7Refers to #289x PCI Integrated Netfinity Servers and Integrated xSeries Servers.
Note 8Software group is determined by the combination of processor feature and edition feature. Display the QPRCFEAT system
value or DSPHDWRSC TYPE(*AHW) to display the processor feature code value. This value is also shown for the Capacity
Card CCIN value when using SST to perform a Capacity Upgrade on Demand.
