IBM 7026 6H1 Server

IBM pSeries Model 6H1 Brings Enhanced Performance to 64-bit, Mid-Range Server

The IBM pSeries 6H1 ( 7026 6H1 ) is the latest member of the 64-bit family of symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) servers from IBM. It gives you tools for managing e-business, new application flexibility, and advanced technology, all designed to help you capitalize on the e-business revolution.

The pSeries 6H1 offers an innovative design that makes it ideal for mission-critical ERP/SCM, Data Warehouse/Data Mart, OLTP, and e-business applications. It blends copper silicon-on-insulator technology and larger memory capacity with a proven system architecture to give you reliability you can count on. Scalability is enhanced by increasing the amount of memory to 32 GB, by leveraging the enhancements of AIX� Version 5.1, and the options of server clustering or SP? attachment within your enterprise.

Combined with an outstanding array of industry software and services, the pSeries 6H1 is a cost-efficient growth path to the future. It provides 64-bit scalability via the 64-bit RS64 III and IV processors packaged in 1-, 2-, 4-, and 6-way processor configurations and incorporates an I/O subsystem supporting 32-bit and 64-bit standard PCI adapters. The Model 6H1 has 1-, 2-, and 4-way processors that operate at 450 MHz or 600 MHz while the 6-way processor operates at 668 MHz. The L2 cache per processor is 2 MB for the 1-way processors, 4 MB for the 2- and 4-way processors, and 8 MB for the 6-way processor.

The pSeries 6H1 is packaged as a rack-mounted Central Electronics Complex (CEC) drawer, cable-attached to rack-mounted Remote I/O (RIO) drawers. The CEC and I/O drawers offer redundant power options and redundant cooling. The CEC drawer incorporates the system processors, memory, and supporting systems logic.

System storage is provided via remotely attached SCSI, SSA, or Fibre Channel storage subsystems. A fully configured 7026 6H1 system includes:

• One 6-way processor card with 8 MB L2 cache per processor
• 32 GB of system memory
• Two I/O drawers incorporating:
• 28 available hot-plug PCI slots
• Three available media bays
• 7026 6H1 Minimum System Configuration: The 7026 6H1 is based on a flexible, modular design that can be configured up to:
• 6 processor
• 32 GB of system memory
• 28 PCI slots
• Multiple media devices, as desired

  This flexibility is available through the many optional features for the pSeries 660. Each pSeries 660 Model 6H1 system must include a minimum of the following items:
