Overview
The IBM eserver p5 model 570 Rack-mount Server (9117-570) gives you a modular mid-range solution for managing e-business computing
requirements.
The p5-570 uses a 4U rack-mounted server drawer as its basic building block and can be configured with one to four drawers in a single rack.
With two processor card positions per drawer, the p5 model 570 is available in 2-, 4-, 8-, 12-, and 16-way configurations.
The symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) server uses 2-way processor cards with state-of-the-art, 64-bit, copper-based, POWER5(TM)
microprocessors running at either 1.5 GHz, 1.65 GHz, or 1.9 GHz. Each processor card has 36 MB of Level 3 cache and 8 slots for memory DIMMs. The base 2 GB of system memory can be expanded up to 512 GB in a four-drawer system.
Each drawer of a p5-570 system contains six disk drive bays and six 3.3-volt PCI-X slots. With up to 24 disk bays, the model 570 can accommodate up to 3,523.2 GB of internal disk storage. Each drawer can also hold two DVD-RAM or DVD-ROM drives.
Other integrated features include:
o Service processor
o Two 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports per drawer
o Two internal Ultra320 SCSI controllers per drawer
o Two serial ports per system
o Two USB 2.0 ports per drawer
o Two HMC ports per system
o Two remote I/O (RIO-2) ports per drawer
o Redundant hot-swap power and cooling
Dynamic logical partitioning (LPAR), with optional micropartitioning, and Capacity on Demand (CoD) are supported on the p5 model 570.
The p5-570 is supported with the IBM eServer® pSeries® Cluster 1600 running Cluster Systems Management (CSM) V1.4 (AIX® and
LINUX). For hardware control using CSM, an HMC is required.
