iSeries IBM 9406, #5088 PCI Expansion Unit, #5094 top hat
(#5088) - PCI-X Expansion Unit
(Only available as REFURBISHED as of June 1, 2006)
The #5088 is an eight-EIA-unit-high "top hat" with is installed on top of a #5074/#5094 expansion tower. Each #5088 has 14 PCI-X slots for PCI IOPs and IOAs. Disk units and removable media are not supported within a #5088.
Each #5088 has two redundant 575W power supplies and two internal power connectors that attach to the AC distribution box in the #5074/#5094. A #5074/#5094 may have one or two line cords, so the #5088 may or may not have dual line cord capability depending on the configuration of the #5074/#5094.
If a #5088 is ordered together with a #5094, the #5094 will ship with a #5088 installed on top. The #5088 may also be ordered for field install on an existing #5074/#5094. A #5088 may not be installed on a #5294 or #5079.
A bus adapter is required to provide the HSL interface to the system. Select one of the following:
#9877 - Base HSL-2 Bus Adapter, to specify two copper HSL-2 ports
#9876 - Base Optical Bus Adapter, to specify two optical HSL ports
One or two HSL cables must be ordered to attach the #5088 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.
