IBM 7026-6M1 Server

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
