xSeries 3.66 GHz 667 MHz 1 MB L2 Cache Upgrade for 64-bit Xeon Processor MP (13N0695) supports internal processing speeds of 3.66 GHz and external processing operations to memory at 667 MHz. It contains an integrated, full-speed, 1 MB level-2 cache.

These processor options are supported up to four-way SMP applications in the IBM eServer xSeries 366 server A VRM, specifically designed to support this xSeries server, is included.

ServeRAID 8i SAS Controller (13N2227) performs with Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) RAID technology. The ServeRAID 8i is a Zero Channel RAID (ZCR) controller manages your internal data storage in selected xSeries servers. The ServeRAID 8i controller achieves higher performance and up to 10 times higher transfer rates at 3GB/second than its Ultra320 SCSI predecessors for a nominal increase in price.

The half-length adapter runs on a dedicated system's PCI-X 64-bit ZCR slot at speeds up to 133 MHz. With the onboard 256 Mb memory and 600 MHz Intel processor, the ServeRAID 8i takes RAID processing workload and offloads it directly to the controller. This allows your CPU ample bandwidth to perform the application processing required.

ServeRAID 8i SAS Controller offers:

• RAID levels 0, 1, 10, 5, 50, 60, and IBM exclusive 1E, and 5EE

• Performance up to 3 GB/seconds of throughput

• ServeRAID 8i supports independent and adjustable stripe sizes of 256k and 512k

• Additional ServeRAID features such as Logical Drive Migration, Global Hot Spare, Copyback, and FlashCopy to manage your storage drives

• Battery-backed memory for added protection for your valuable data

8 GB (2x4GB Kit) PC2-3200 CL3x4 ECC DDR2 SDRAM RDIMM (30R5145) contains two 4 GB DIMMs.

These high-speed, DDR2 registered DIMMs are synchronized to the processor so that once addressed, data can be transferred on both edges of the clock signal. This takes advantage of the improved performance of the 667 MHz dual front-side bus architecture of the XA-64e third- generation chipset and the 64-bit Xeon MP processor. The memory bus transfers data at up to 5.3 GB per second.

Active Memory** 4-slot Memory Expansion Card (13M7409) allows you to upgrade your x366 with four total memory expansion cards. System memory can be expanded to 64 GB by removing the two standard DIMMs and adding three additional memory expansion card options and a 4 GB PC2-3200 CL3x4 ECC DDR2 SDRAM RDIMM in each of the four DIMM sockets.

All measurements made in accordance with ISO 7779 and reported in conformance with ISO 9296. The IBM eServer xSeries 366 server, intended for use as a rack-drawer server, is tested and designed to operate in a horizontal position. Standards These systems support or comply with the following standards: Multi Processor Specification (MPS) 1.4. Hardware-enabled to meet the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9241, Part 3. In addition to the above standards, they are compatible with the PCI-X specification 2.0. Equipment approvals and safety FCC - Verified to comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules, Class A Canada ICES-003, issue 4, Class A IEC/UL 60950-1, 1st edition CAN/CSA - C22.2 No. 60950-1-03 NOM-019(7) Note: (7) This server is certified by the respective UL and NOM. Operating Environment Temperature: 10.0 to 35.0 degrees C (50 to 95 degrees F) at 0 to 914 m (0 to 3,000 ft) 10.0 to 32.0 degrees C (50 to 90 degrees F) at 914 to 2,133 m (3,000 to 7,000 ft) Relative humidity: 8% to 80% Maximum altitude: 2,133 m (7,000 ft) Limitations The IBM eServer xSeries 366 servers are shipped with 2 GB (2 x 1 GB) of memory. A maximum of up to 64 GB of system memory is supported (when 4 GB DIMMs become available) by adding three additional memory expansion card options and a 4 GB PC2-3200 CL3x4 ECC DDR2 SDRAM RDIMM in each of the four DIMM sockets. All supported system memory is addressable through direct memory access (DMA). This server supports 1 GB, 2 GB, and 4 GB 1.8V, 240-pin, 8-byte RDIMMs. Supported DIMMs can coexist in the same server; however, memory DIMMs of the same capacity must be installed in matched pairs. Refer to the xSeries server Web page memory options. The xSeries 366 server supports up to six HDDs, which limits the ServeRAID 8i SAS Controller to reach RAID configurations of RAID 0, 1, 5, 1E, 00, 10, 50, 1E0, and 5EE, but not RAID 60. Use the version of ServerGuide that is shipped with the system, or a later version, to load software and drivers. Earlier versions of ServerGuide may not be compatible with the server. Refer to the Software Requirements section for operating system limitations. Hot-swap limitations PCI hot-plug is not supported in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3. PCI hot-plug support is limited in SLES 9 and Novell NetWare 6.5. For Linux, multifunction adapters (those that use PCI bridges) are currently not supported. For NetWare, only hot-replace of adapters is supported. Note: Express models are not eligible to be sold as part of a special bid. Hardware Requirements For attended installation of an operating system, this server requires a compatible: Keyboard Mouse Display Unattended or remote installation may be performed without requiring some or all of these components. Review your unattended software installation program information for specific hardware configuration requirements. For service, the server requires a compatible: Keyboard Mouse Display When having the unit serviced, plan to have these components attached to your server either directly or indirectly via a console switch.
