o 3.06 GHz Intel® Xeon processor with 512 KB advanced transfer (full-speed) L2 cache
o 533 MHz front-side bus processors
o 512 MB (2 x 256) of two-way interleaved, high-speed PC2100 266 MHz ECC DDR SDRAM memory
o Integrated Ultra320 SCSI controller
o Dual gigabit Ethernet controllers; high I/O capacity for demanding applications, plus failover capability
o Imbedded HDD mirroring (RAID 1) on SCSI models

High Availability for Around-the-Clock e-business
High availability, manageability, and serviceability features help diagnose problems quickly, even from remote locations:
o Includes integrated systems management processor
o Monitors and controls operating status and key server components; automatically sends alerts via alert standard format
(ASF) for critical errors or component failures
o Supports optional Remote Supervisor Adapter for full out-of-band systems management
o Features C2T Interconnect Cable Chaining Technology; simplifies cable management and control
o Designed to warn of problems before they occur: Predictive Failure Analysis® (PFA) on processors, voltage regulator module (VRM), memory, fans, power supply, and HDD options
o Provides fast and easy servicing: innovative Light Path Diagnostics, improved on-board diagnostics, and LED diagnostic panel

Service and Support Perfected for e-business
o ServerGuide(TM) and IBM Director
o Web support
o Three-year, on-site, limited warranty for model 8676

Key Prerequisites
o Monitor, keyboard, mouse, and rack
o One cable chain kit per chain of servers or a NetBAY C2T Conversion Option and one of the NetBAY Advanced Connectivity Technology switch offerings

Planned Availability Dates
o April 22, 2003: models 8676-22X and 8830-22X
o May 15, 2003: models 8676-21X and 8830-21X
