IBM p510 server, 2way, 1.65, 73GB disk,
1GB memory
The IBM p510 comes in a 2U rack drawer package. It
is available in a 1-way or 2-way configuration using
the state-of-the-art, 64-bit, copper-based POWER5
microprocessors running at 1.5 GHz. The IBM p510 is
very similar to the IBM p510 Express server except
that the POWER5 microprocessor operates at 1.65 GHz.
To simplify, both products are referred to as IBM
p510 except where a distinction needs is needed between
the Express offering and the non-Express offering.
The POWER5 microprocessor provides many performance
and reliability advances over the POWER4 architecture.
Chief among the enhancements is Simultaneous Multi-Threading
(SMT), which is designed to significantly boost performance
by allowing two code streams to concurrently access
the several execution units on the processor.
The IBM p510 has a base of 512 MB of main memory
that can be expanded to 32 GB for faster performance
and exploitation of 64-bit addressing as used in large
database applications. The IBM p510 contains five
bays. Four of the five are four front-accessible,
hot-swap-capable DASD bays and can accommodate up
to 587.2 GB of disk storage. The fifth bay is used
for a slimline DVD-ROM or DVD-RAM.
