This set of Datacenter offerings is based upon the xSeries 460 server
which is powered with Intel** Xeon** MP processors at up to 3.33 GHz(1) /
8 MB L3 cache.
The xSeries 460 server contains advanced technology that combines
32-way SMP-capable power, Peripheral Component Interconnect-X (PCI-X),
Enterprise X-Architecture(TM), high availability, scalability, and
substantial internal data storage capacity. With the power of
third-generation Enterprise X-Architecture, the x460 establishes a new
standard in the market for modular XpandOnDemand scalability from 4-way
to 32-way with increased performance, memory availability, systems
manageability, and simultaneous support for 32-bit and 64-bit
applications with x86-64-bit extensions.
Modular expansion is supported with the 3U MXE-460. The xSeries
MXE-460 server is functionally identical to the xSeries 460 server and
supports the same hardware configurations, however it is supported only
as an expansion module to a base series xSeries 460 and not in a
stand-alone configuration. It comes configured with two empty 4-slot
Memory Expansion Cards (13M7409) and two power supplies as standard, but
without any processors, memory, disks, or optical drive. A customer can
configure the MXE-460 with the necessary processors and memory and then
interconnect with the xSeries 460 server and create multinode
configurations that consist of two, four, or eight nodes for up to 32-way
operation.
In addition to processors and memory, the 6 disk bays and 6 PCI-X I/O
card slots in each chassis are accessible, allowing a customer to add up
to a total of 48 hard disks and 48 I/O slots into a 32-way configuration,
eliminating the need for an external I/O expansion enclosure. Datacenter
supports only Fibre Channel based storage subsystems for external data
storage. Priced lower than the xSeries 460 server, the MXE-460 allows
economical expansion of a base 460 from 2 chassis to 8 chassis for
scalability all the way to 32-way.
The MXE modular expansion enclosure powers easy upgrades to 32-way
configurations to support systems such as the Microsoft Windows Server
Datacenter edition. With these advanced mission-critical functions,
xSeries 460 servers help run your Datacenter-based business solutions
around the clock.
Note: (1) GHz and MHz denote the internal and/or external clock speed of
the microprocessor only, not application performance. Many factors
affect application performance.
Windows Datacenter offerings
IBM Datacenter solutions are ideal for enterprise and
high-availability applications. Single-node 4-way through 32-way server
configurations as well as multinode 4-way through 32-way Microsoft
Certified cluster solutions are supported. You have a choice of Windows
Datacenter solutions.
- The Datacenter High Availability Program Offering delivers a fully
configured, Datacenter-certified(2), preinstalled hardware and software
operating system solution on 4 way thru 32 way server configurations that
support up to 8 node Microsoft Cluster Certified solutions for a tightly
controlled, end-to-end supported environment for maximum availability.
- The Datacenter Scalable Offering delivers a Windows Datacenter
stand-alone server solution that scales from 4-way to 32-way, without the
need for a Datacenter-certified end-to-end solution. The Scalable
Datacenter offering is the ideal solution for customers requiring maximum
performance and scalability in a non-cluster environment.
- IBM xSeries Datacenter offerings are now available with Microsoft**
Windows Server** 2003, Datacenter x64 Edition, in addition to Microsoft
Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition (32 bit)
Windows Server 2003 Datacenter x64 Editions provide high performance
for both 32-bit and 64-bit applications on the same system. The
underlying architecture is based on 64-bit extensions to the
industry-standard x86 instruction set, allowing today's 32-bit
applications to run natively on x64 processors such as the Intel Xeon
with Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology (EM64T). At the same time, new
64-bit applications are executed in 64-bit mode, which processes more
data clock per cycle, allows greater access to memory, and speeds numeric
calculations. The end result is a platform that leverages the existing
wealth of 32-bit applications while also providing a smooth migration
path to 64-bit computing.

Export Limitations
US Law controls export of High Performance Computers (HPC) exceeding
190K Composite Theoretical Performance (CTP). CTP calculations are
performed using a modified formula and stated in Millions of Theoretical
Operations Per Second (MTOPS) resulting from CoCom negotiations on
December 21, 1993, and published in US Dept of Commerce Export
Administration Regulations 15 CFR 774 (Advisory Note 4 for Category 4).
Due to the extreme power of the xSeries 460 scalable server, all
scale-up high-performance SMP configurations composed of more than 4
combined chassis of x460 and MXE-460 (above 16-way) will exceed the US
Government mandated 190k CTP threshold and will require a U.S. export
license. The scalable system partition's setup menu will prevent such
configurations from being created.
If a high performance SMP configuration beyond a 16-way is desired,
the customer and the IBM salesperson or IBM Business partner will need to
work closely with the IBM Export Regulation Office (ERO) to initiate the
licensing process and acquire the documentation and approvals necessary
for IBM to be able to ship the system to the intended customer. Be aware
that this process can be quite lengthy, lasting up to 6 months, and
should be initiated very early in the procurement cycle. Once the
required approvals have been obtained, the customer will be provided with
additional code that will augment the scalable system partition setup
menu such that configurations beyond 16-way or 4 chassis will now be
allowed.
For attended installation of an operating system, this server requires
a compatible:
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:
When having the unit serviced, plan to have these components attached
to your server either directly or indirectly via a console switch.
