2 p5-570 Technical Overview and Introduction
combined system. Additional processor configurations are possible with the installation of
Capacity on Demand (CoD) features. Main memory starting at 2 GB can be expanded to
128 GB in a single drawer, based on the available DIMMs, for higher performance and
exploitation of 64-bit addressing, to meet the demands of enterprise computing, such as large
database applications.
One p5-570 building block includes six hot-plug PCI-X
1
slots with Enhanced Error Handling
(EEH) and an enhanced blind-swap mechanism, two Ultra320 SCSI controllers, one
10/100/1000 Mbps integrated dual-port Ethernet controller, two serial ports, two USB 2.0
ports, two HMC ports, two remote RIO-2 ports, and two System Power Control Network
(SPCN) ports.
The p5-570 includes two 3-pack front-accessible, hot-swap-capable disk bays. The six disk
bays of one IBM Sserver p5-570 building block can accommodate up to 880.8 GB of disk
storage using the 146.8 GB Ultra320 SCSI disk drives. Two additional media bays are used
to accept optional slim-line media devices, such as DVD-ROM or DVD-RAM drives. The
p5-570 also has I/O expansion capability using the RIO-2 bus, which allows attachment of the
7311 Model D10, 7311 Model D11, and 7311 Model D20 I/O drawers.
Additional reliability and availability features include redundant hot-plug cooling fans and
redundant power supplies. Along with these hot-plug components, the p5-570 is designed to
provide an extensive set of reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) features that
include improved fault isolation, recovery from errors without stopping the system, avoidance
of recurring failures, and predictive failure analysis.
