The pSeries 640 B80 offers:

• The IBM pSeries 640 outstanding value in a powerful, symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), e-business server optimized for high-density environments
• Rugged, space-saving rack-mount, slide-in chassis packaging designed for extreme levels of availability, maintainability, and ease-of-use with tool-less access
• Design optimized for ease-of-growth by providing internal upgrade paths and horizontal scaling options to meet rapidly changing capacity demands
• Up to four, state-of-the-art, IBM 64-bit POWER3-II processors that exploit unique copper-based technology for high performance and reliable service
• Up to 16 GB of memory and 145.6 GB of internal disk storage for the performance and capacity needed by demanding e-business applications
• Innovative systems management feature using hand-held devices like Palm Pilot
• Multiple power options including 110/220 V AC or -48 V DC NEBS level 3 compliant distribution

pSeries B80 Standard configuration

High-density, rack optimized
The pSeries 640 symmetric multi-processor (SMP) can have up to four state-of-the-art 64-bit, copper-based POWER3-II microprocessors. The base system consists of a 375MHz processor with 4MB of ECC (error checking and correcting) Level 2 (L2) cache. A two- or four-way 375 or 450MHz system is optionally available with 8MB of L2 cache per processor, offering still greater performance for many applications. The base 256MB of main memory can be expanded to 16GB for faster performance and exploitation of 64-bit addressing capability required by large database applications.

The pSeries 640 5 EIA units (5U) x 19-inch industry-standard rack drawer is 24 inches deep and contains five bays, one of which is used for a 5.25" SCSI CD-ROM, DVD-RAM or tape drive. The remaining four front-accessible, hot-swappable bays can accommodate up to 293.6GB of internal disk storage; an 18.2GB Ultra SCSI drive is included in the base configuration. Five PCI slots are provided, along with an integrated 10/100Mbps Ethernet controller with two ports, internal and external Ultra2 SCSI controllers and a service processor. Multiple pSeries 640 drawers may be installed in standard IBM racks, including the IBM 7014-T00 (36U). These racks may also house I/O disk storage such as the IBM 2104 Expandable Storage Plus (Ultra3 SCSI) and IBM 7133 Serial Disk System (SSA) to provide terabytes of highly reliable, high-performance, hot-swappable disk storage.
