Data Integrity and Verification
IBM computer systems contain mechanisms designed to reduce the possibility of
undetected data corruption or loss. This risk, however, cannot be eliminated. Users who
experience unplanned outages, system failures, power fluctuations or outages, or
component failures must verify the accuracy of operations performed and data saved or
transmitted by the system at or near the time of the outage or failure. In addition, users
must establish procedures to ensure that there is independent data verification before
relying on such data in sensitive or critical operations. Users should periodically check
the IBM support websites for updated information and fixes applicable to the system and
related software.

Chapter 1. System Introduction
The Enterprise Server S80 and p Series 680 Model S85 systems are 64-bit, symmetric
multiprocessing (SMP) enterprise servers. The systems provide the power, capacity and
expandability to support evolution of your business into the 64-bit computing
environment while still supporting the existing 32-bit applications. The I/O subsystem
supports both 32-bit and 64-bit standard PCI adapters.
The systems are multi-processor, multi-bus systems packaged in two different rack
types. The processor and memory are packaged in the System Rack. A separate I/O
rack contains the DASD and I/O devices in drawers. The basic system consists of one
System Rack and one I/O Drawer in a separate rack. The systems are expandable to
one System Rack and four I/O Drawers. See the following figure for an example of the
basic system.
System Rack
I/O Rack
1
System Rack
The System Rack supports a minimum of one processor card and a maximum of four
processor cards. Each processor card has six 64-bit processors. A maximum of 24
processors may be installed in the system, which shares a common system memory.
The system memory is controlled through a multi-port controller, which supports up to
16 memory slots. The total memory available to users is dependent on the memory
feature card installed and the number of memory cards. All system memory is contained
in the system rack.
Also contained in the System Rack is the operator panel, which provides diagnostic
support in addition to controlling system power. The following figure shows the operator
panel. The System Rack is powered by 200 - 240 V ac.
2 S80 and S85 User’s Guide
Chapter 1. System Introduction 3
I/O Rack
Each I/O rack holds up to two I/O Drawers. Each I/O Drawer provides up to 14 PCI
adapters per drawer. The primary I/O Drawer (Drawer 0) reserves slots for support of
system media, service processor and hot-pluggable DASD bays resident in the drawer.
For information about PCI adapter slot placement, see
PCI Adapter Placement
Reference
, (SA38-0538). These slots are available in subsequent I/O Drawers 1
through 3 for any supported PCI adapter use. A fully configured system consisting of
four I/O Drawers (with a maximum of two I/O Drawers per I/O rack) and one System
Rack provides support for up to 55 33-Mhz PCI adapters, 48 hot-pluggable SCSI disk
bays and up to 8 media bays. The PCI bus supported is 33-Mhz with both 32 and 64-bit
adapters supported on a per-slot basis. Slots 1, 5, 9, 10 and 14 support either 32 or
64-bit PCI adapters. The remaining slots are 32-bits.
The Service Processor, resident in slot 8 of the primary I/O Drawer, provides extended
service support. The service processor provides facilities for system management, error
data collection, remote call-in, remote call-out including surveillance, and numerous
other features, including password support. The Input/output Rack is powered by 200 240 V ac.
10 EIA Unit I/O Drawer
4 S80 and S85 User’s Guide
I/O Drawers
Your system has a 10 EIA Unit I/O Drawer as described below.
10 EIA Unit I/O Drawer
The 10 EIA Unit I/O Drawer features hot-pluggable disk drive banks shown in the
following figure. Disk drive banks allow system users to insert and remove disk drives
without performing a power down of the system which increases the availability of the
server. The 10 EIA Unit I/O Drawer is powered by 200 - 240 V ac.
The disk drive banks are each able to hold up to six one-inch by 3.5-inch form factor
drives, or three 1.6-inch drives.
When the drawer has the maximum configuration, it holds up to 12 one-inch by 3.5-inch
form factor 16-bit disk drives mounted on carriers and 2 media devices. If the drawer is
fully populated with 1.6-inch disk drives, it holds only 6 disk drives. The disk drives are
mounted in carriers that are auto docking, auto addressing, and hot swappable.
