iSeries IBM 9406, #2790 PCI INTEG NETFINITY SERVER
(#2790) PCI Integrated Netfinity Server
(Only available as REFURBISHED as of May 31, 2001)
The #2790, PCI Integrated Netfinity Server, is the next step in the evolution of IBM's file serving IOP family. It contains a 700MHz processor and four main storage slots.
#2790 is supported in the system unit of Models 820, 830, and 840, in the #5074 PCI Expansion Tower, in the #5075 PCI Expansion Tower when it is attached to the Model 820, in the #5078 PCI Expansion Unit, and in the #5079 1.8m I/O Tower.
Each main storage slot can contain either a 128MB main storage card, a 256MB main storage card, or a 1024MB main storage card, providing a main storage capacity from 128MB to 4196MB. When the maximum memory configuration is installed, only 3712MB is addressable. At least one main storage card is required. The feature numbers of the main storage cards are as follows:
#2795 - 128MB Server Memory
#2796 - 256MB Server Memory
#2797 - 1GB Server Memory (Only available as REFURBISHED as of June 1, 2006)
The #2790 can support the following LAN IOAs in any combination. At least one LAN IOA is required. The features for the LAN IOAs are as follows:
#2743 PCI 1Gbps Ethernet IOA (Only available as REFURBISHED)
#2744 PCI 100/16/4Mbps Token-Ring IOA (Only available as REFURBISHED as of June 1, 2006)
#2760 PCI 1Gbps Ethernet UTP IOA (requires V5R1)(Only available as REFURBISHED)
#4838 PCI 100/10Mbps Ethernet IOA (Only available as REFURBISHED)
When a LAN IOA is used in conjunction with a #2790 --
If #2743 or #2760 is selected, then one #0225, 1Gbps Ethernet Specify, is required for each #2743 or #2760 selected
If #2744 is selected, then one #0223, 100Mbps Token-Ring Specify, is required for each #2744 selected
If #4838 is selected, then one #0224, 100/10Mbps Ethernet Specify, is required for each #4838 selected
Up to three IOA LAN features can be supported by the #2790, depending on the system unit/tower position into which the #2790 is placed.
Native iSeries functions are not supported. The #2790 does not support the sharing of LAN adapters between the Integrated Netfinity Server and the iSeries. The #2790 requires three PCI card slots on the system/expansion tower backplane; two slots are used by the #2790 and the third slot is reduced to a short card slot (which will be used by the first LAN IOA card). The #2790 does not require a #2843, #9943, but placement is limited to specific slots within the system units and expansion towers. The #2790 includes a keyboard/mouse splitter cable.
The #2790 supports only the Window NT and Windows 2000 operating systems, where the following applies:
#0325 (IPCS Extension Cables for NT) default (but may be removed).
A minimum of 128MB server memory is required
#1700 (IPCS Keyboard/Mouse for NT) is default (in those countries offering it)
A display must be connected to the Integrated Netfinity Server to support Windows.

The #2790 does not support IBM Firewall for OS/400 (5769-FW1), or Integrated Services for FSIOP (a feature of 5769-SSI).
Supported on the following systems: 820, 825, 830, 840, 870, 890, SB2, SB3
