7026-6M1 IBM eServer pSeries 660 Server
Model 6M1
The IBM pSeries 6M1 is a member of the 64-bit family
of symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) enterprise servers
from IBM that support a range of 32- and 64-bit applications
simultaneously. The Model 6M1 provides scalability
using the 64-bit RS64 IV processor packaged in 2-,
4-, 6-, and 8-way 750 MHz SMP configurations, from
2 GB to 64 GB of real memory and incorporates an I/O
subsystem supporting 32-bit and 64-bit standard PCI
adapters. A 2-way or 4-way 500 MHz RS64 III SMP configuration
is also available for initial orders. 2-way 500 MHz
systems may add a second 2-way 500 MHz processor card,
or replace the existing processor cards with any of
the 750 MHz processor features.
Processor Boards
The CEC drawer backplane in the IBM 7026-6M1consists
of the memory controller chip set and includes slots
for processor boards, power regulator, clock card,
memory cards, and an I/O card. The number of slots
available for the processor boards in the backplane
is two. There are three types of processor boards
that can be used independently, or in combination,
to build 2-, 4-, 6-, and 8-way SMP configurations
in the Model 6M1, which are explained as follows:
2- and 4-Way SMP. The IBM 7026-6M1
system can be configured as a 2-way SMPconfiguration
using a single 750 MHz RS64 IV (# 5210) or 500 MHz
RS64 III (# 5200) board. The Model 6M1 system can
be configured to a 4-way SMP by adding one more dual-processor
board on the otherprocessor board slot, available
on the CEC backplane.
4-Way SMP A single four-processor board can be used to configure
4-way SMPconfiguration in the Model 6M1 (# 5213). Adding the Capacity Upgradeon
Demand feature(# 8306 for zero additional processors active, or # 8307 for two
additional processors active) allows a 4-way board toextend the number of processors
from four up to eight. This feature requires a special licensing agreement to
be signed with IBM and an existing 4-way board (# 5213) to be in place. This
board is available only as a 750 MHz RS64 IV board. 6-Way SMP A
6-way SMP can be configured by using one dual processor board
(# 5210) and one four-processor board (# 5213). Both must be 750 MHz RS64 IV
boards.
8-Way SMP As discussed for a 4-way SMP, a single four-processor
board can be used to configure 4-way SMP configuration in the IBM pSeries 6M1.
By using an additional four-processor board (# 5213), the Model 6M1 can be configured
to an 8-way SMP using 750 MHz RS64 IV processors.

Model Highlights 7026-6M1
The 7026-6M1 delivers a cost-efficient growth path
to the future through such attributes as:
- 64-bit system scalability providing 2-, 4-, 6-,
and 8-way configurations with combinations of the
following processor options:
- 2-way 750 MHz RS64 IV with 8 MB L2 cache per
processor
- 4-way 750 MHz RS64 IV with 8 MB L2 cache per
processor
- 2-way 500 MHz RS64 III with 4 MB L2 cache per
processor
IBM 7026-6M1 Expandability and reliability:
- Optional processor Capacity Upgrade on Demand
- System memory expandable from 2 GB to 64 GB
- Rack-mounted CEC and I/O drawers; CEC drawer
utilizes 8U (EIA Units) rack-space; I/O drawers
utilize 5U rack space each
- Up to four I/O drawers per server
- Each I/O drawer supports 14 hot-plug PCI bus
slots
