iSeries IBM 9406, #0578 PCI Expansion Unit in Rack
(#0578) PCI Expansion Unit in Rack
(Feature #0578 Only available as REFURBISHED as of October 1, 2004)
This feature is the equivalent of a #5078 PCI Expansion Unit, but the #0578 will be mounted in a #0550/#0551 rack. A #0578 is eight EIA units high. Conversions between a #0578 and a #5078 are not allowed.
The #0578 has 14 PCI slots, which allows up to 11 PCI IOAs to be added. Disk units and removable media devices are not supported and may not be installed in the #0578.
#0578 includes a bus adapter to provide the HSL interface to the system. The configurator will add one of the following to the order:
#9691 Base Bus Adapter:
To be specified when attaching to copper HSL ports
#9739 Base Optical Bus Adapter:
To be specified when attaching to optical HSL ports
Available only with Models 830 and 840
Space permitting, up to four #0578's may be mounted in a #0551, and one in a #0550. #0578 may be ordered on initial, upgrade, and MES orders.
A minimum of one PDU is required if one, two, or three #0578s are installed in the same #0551. A minimum of two PDUs are required if four #0578s are installed in the same #0551. One PDU is required for a #0578 in a #0550. Each #0578 comes with two integrated PDU compatible line cords. #1422 power cords cannot be used on the #0578 expansion unit.
Select two HSL cables if the #0578 is the first/only expansion tower/unit on an HSL loop. Select one HSL cable if the #5078 is attached with other expansion towers/units on an HSL loop.
For the Model 820, if this is the first/only expansion tower/unit on the HSL loop, select two HSL cables for this tower (one must be a #1460 or a #1461). If other towers/units are on the HSL loop, select one or two (two if one of the existing HSL cables will be too short) HSL cables per tower. Whenever a #0578, #5074, #5075, #5078, or #5079 is attached, the Model 820 must have at least one #1460/#1461.
#1460 - 3m HSL Cable
#1461 - 6m HSL Cable
#1462 - 15m HSL Cable
#1470 - 6m HSL Optical Cable (Models 830 and 840 only)
#1471 - 30m HSL Optical Cable (Models 830 and 840 only) (Only available as REFURBISHED)
#1472 - 100m HSL Optical Cable (Models 830 and 840 only)
#1473 - 250m HSL Optical Cable (Models 830 and 840 only)
Select one of the following SPCN cables per expansion unit:
#1463 - 2m SPCN Cable
#1464 - 6m SPCN Cable
#1465 - 15m SPCN Cable
#1466 - 30m SPCN Cable (Only available as REFURBISHED)
#0369 - 100m Optical SPCN Cable
#1468 - 250m Optical SPCN Cable
The PCI IOAs (up to 11 may be installed) are supported (driven) by feature #2843 PCI IOPs, feature #2790 PCI Integrated Netfinity Servers and/or feature #2791 PCI Integrated xSeries Servers.
Prerequisites:
#0550/#0551 on same order or an existing #0550/#0551 with available space
#5160, #5161, or #5162 on same order, or within the #0550/#0551 into which the #0578 is placed
Two #1422, 3m IEC 320 C13/C14 PDU Cords
A #0578 may be mounted in the same rack as a Model 270, but is not a supported feature on the Model 270.
Supported on the following systems: 810, 820, 825, 830, 840, 870, 890
