iSeries IBM 9406, #0588 PCI Expansion Unit in Rack
(#0588) PCI-X Expansion Unit in Rack
(Only available as REFURBISHED as of June 1, 2006)
#0588 is the equivalent of a #5088 PCI-X Expansion Unit, but the #0588 is mounted in a #0551 rack. An #0588 is eight EIA units high and has 14 PCI-X slots for PCI IOPs and IOAs. Disk units and removable media are not supported by the #0588. #0588 can be on initial, upgrade, or MES orders, but cannot be converted to a #5088.
PCI IOAs are supported by feature #2843/#2844 PCI IOPs, feature #2790, #2890 PCI Integrated Netfinity Servers and feature #2791, #2792, #2799, #2891, #2892, #2899 PCI Integrated xSeries Servers. A #9844/#9943 may be used in a #0588.
#0588 has two redundant 575W power supplies and two integrated PDU compatible line cords. The line cords may be connected to the same PDU or separate PDUs in the #0551 rack. When the line cords are connected to separate PDUs, and those PDUs are connected to two different power sources, the #0588 has dual line cord capability.
Up to four #0588s can be mounted in a #0551, and one #0588 may be mounted in a #0550. A PDU is required when one, two, or three #0588s are to be installed in the same #0551. A minimum of two PDUs are required if four #0588s are ordered for the same #0551. One PDU is required for a #0588 in a #0550.
A bus adapter to provide the HSL interface to the system is included. Select one of the following:
#9886 - Base Optical Bus Adapter, to specify two optical HSL ports
#9887 - Base HSL-2 Bus Adapter, to specify two copper HSL-2 ports
One or two cables must be ordered to attach to the HSL or HSL-2 ports.
When ordering cables to connect to the HSL interface, optical HSL, copper HSL, copper HSL-2, or copper HSL to HSL-2 cables are required. An HSL loop uses all optical or all copper ports/cables. A copper loop can intermix I/O towers/units with copper HSL and copper HSL-2 ports. Select the appropriate cable based on the type of HSL ports to which it is being attached, and the cable length required.
Copper HSL to HSL-2 (HSL on one end and HSL-2 on the other end)
#1474 - 6m HSL to HSL-2 Cable
#1475 - 10m HSL to HSL-2 Cable
Copper HSL-2 (HSL-2 on both ends of the cable)
#1482 - 3.5m HSL-2 Cable
#1483 - 10m HSL-2 Cable
#1485 - 15m HSL-2 Cable
#1470 - 6m HSL Optical Cable
#1471 - 30m HSL Optical Cable (Only available as REFURBISHED)
#1472 - 100m HSL Optical Cable
#1473 - 250m HSL Optical Cable
For each I/O tower/unit select one of the following SPCN cables:
#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
