2 pSeries 610 Models 6C1 and 6E1 Technical Overview and Introduction
for keyboard, mouse, one parallel, and three serial. Only the rack-mounted Model 6C1 has
serial port one accessible from an RJ48 connection on front as well as the standard 9 pin port
on the rear of the system. When one port is used, the other is disabled. The serial port 1,
accessible on front, has a higher priority than serial port 1 on the rear.
One or two POWER3-II 64-bit processors are connected to an IBM designed high
performance memory and system control chip set. These processors may be ordered in one
of the following two configurations:
375 MHz processor, including 4 MB of Level 2 (L2) ECC cache.
450 MHz processor, including 8 MB of L2 ECC cache.
IBM has implemented copper technology in its SMP workstations and servers. Refer to
“Copper and CMOS technology” on page 11 for more information.
The memory can be expanded up to 8 GB for improved performance and exploitation of 64-bit
addressing, as used in large database applications.
The Models 6C1 and 6E1 contain ten media bays. The six front-accessible, hot-swappable
disk drive bays can accommodate up to 218.4 GB of disk storage using 36.4 GB disk drives.
Media bay 0 is occupied by the operator panel but has the default disk drive (non-hot swap)
mounted behind the operator panel.
Media bay 1 can be used for:
An additional IDE CD-ROM drive
A DVD-RAM drive
An optional non-hot-swap disk (requires the media bay disk drive mounting kit to install a
SCSI disk drive in the media bay)
An optional media device, such as a 4 mm or 8 mm tape drive
Media bay 2 holds the default IDE CD-ROM drive or can hold a DVD-RAM drive, instead of
the default CD-ROM.
Media bay 3 is occupied by a diskette drive.
A mouse or one of several national keyboards are used as input devices.
For the rack-mounted Model 6C1, we recommend that you use the 7316-TF1 Flat Panel
Console in combination with the appropriate console switch to manage several systems in a
rack.
To help ensure that strategic applications remain available 24 x 7, the Models 6C1 and 6E1
feature an integrated service processor that constantly monitors the systems' vital signs. In
the event of a malfunction, the service processor is capable of
calling home by automatically
dialing out to an IBM service center, often before any problem is apparent to users or system
administrators.
Note: If you want to attach a 25-pin serial cable, you need to order the Serial Port
Converter Cable, 9-Pin to 25-Pin (# 3925). This is not shipped with the system unit.
An RJ45 to 9-pin converter cable is shipped automatically with every Model 6C1, which
can be used for the RJ48 front serial port. The additional connections provided by the
RJ48 connector are currently not used.
