xxvi IBM Eserver i5 and iSeries System Handbook

Draft Document for Review October 18, 2004 5486pref.fm

Preface

The new IBM® Eserver i5 servers extend the IBM Eserver iSeries™ family. They are the first servers in the industry based on the IBM leading-edge POWER5™ 64-bit microprocessor. Today’s Eserver i5 servers give the flexibility to move from one generation of technology to another without disrupting a company’s business. IBM i5/OS™ Version 5 Release 3, the next generation of OS/400®, features support for multiple operating systems and application environments on a single, simplified platform. Eserver i5 servers do more with less.

This twenty-sixth edition of the IBM Eserver i5 and iSeries System Handbook, distributed and respected worldwide, supports these latest IBM Eserver iSeries announcements. It provides a product and feature overview of the newest Eserver i5 Models 520, 550, 570, and 595, and describes the newest release of operating system software, i5/OS V5R3. It also describes iSeries Models 800, 810, 825, 870, and 890. Information is featured to describe all aspects of today’s Eserver i5 servers, from the architectural foundation to performance considerations.

This Handbook is written for IBM System Specialists, Marketing Representatives, Business Partners, and Clients to answer first-level questions. It offers a comprehensive guide to the IBM Eserver iSeries models, associated hardware, and OS/400-related software currently marketed by IBM representatives.

This IBM Redbook is one of several books produced by the ITSO to highlight the iSeries product line. Use this handbook as a reference for the options that are available. Then, refer to the companion manual IBM Eserver iSeries and AS/400e System Builder, SG24-2155, for more detailed information and configuration rules. You may also refer to IBM Eserver iSeries Migration: System Migration and Upgrades at V5R1 and V5R2, SG24-6055, for details about upgrading to the IBM Eserver iSeries 800, 810, 820, 825, 830, 840, 870, and 890 servers. The Hardware Service Manager is described in Logical

Partitions on IBM PowerPC: A Guide to Working with LPAR on POWER5 for IBM i5 Servers, SG24-8000.

Refer to IBM online publications and systems, such as ViewBlue and PartnerInfo (or their equivalent outside of the United States), and your IBM marketing and support representative for final confirmation.
