The Model S70 is packaged as a Central Electronics Complex and an I/O
rack. The Model S70 Central Electronics Complex base configuration starts
with a 4-way scalable symmetrical multiprocessing system (SMP) that utilizes
the new 64-bit 125MHz RS64* processor with 4MB of Level 2 (L2) cache per
processor. The standard 4-way SMP can be expanded to 12-way SMP; the system
memory can be expanded to 32GB. The I/O rack contains the base I/O drawer
with the service processor, a 4.5GB Ultra-SCSI-enabled, high-performance
disk drive, a 20X Max speed CD-ROM, a 1.44MB, 3.5-inch diskette drive,
and two SCSI Fast-Wide PCI adapters. Up to three additional Model S70
I/O drawers may be added to the I/O racks. Additional I/O racks may also
be ordered with the S70. Existing RS/6000 7015 Model R00 racks or the
new 7014 Model S00 rack may also be used for additional storage and communication
drawers. This helps to protect the customers existing investment in SSA
or SCSI DASD.
A fully configured system would be a 12-way processor with 32GB of system
memory, 55 33MHz PCI adapter slots, 48 hot-pluggable SCSI disk bays, and
up to 11 media bays. The remaining space in the I/O racks can be used
for various storage and communication subsystems.
The RS/6000 Enterprise Server Model S70 is shipped and delivered with
all the internal adapters and devices already installed and configured.
AIX* Version 4.3 software is included with every S70 and may be pre- installed,
if desired.
The RS/6000 Enterprise Server S70 provides outstanding performance and
supports the evolution of your enterprise to 64-bit computing. Its outstanding
benefits include:
- Unprecedented commercial performance in four-way to 12-way enterprise
servers that use the new RS64 Microprocessor Technology.
- Excellent reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) provided
by error checking and correcting (ECC) system memory and cache, I/O
link failure recovery, hot-swappable disk drives, environmental sensing,
N+1 Power, service processor for integrated system monitoring, and concurrent
diagnostics.
- AIX, rated the best UNIX operating system by noted industry consultant
D.H. Brown. Over 10,000 AIX applications are available that address
many commercial and technical needs.
- Preconfigured tailored solutions. Take advantage of the rack packaging
to custom-tailor your solution. Choose from multiple SCSI and SSA storage,
media, communication, and drawer options.
- Open industry standards, such as Open Firmware based on IEEE P1275
standard.
- Processor and memory growth beyond any previous Enterprise Server.
The base-configuration 4-way SMP processors can be expanded up to 12-way.
Memory can be expanded up to 32GB in 512MB, 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, or 8GB increments.
System power supplies are designed for maximum configurations.
- "Under the covers" I/O system scalability and expandability supporting
up to four system I/O drawers, each system providing up to 56 PCI slots,
up to 436.8 GB internal disks, and 12 media bays for tape and optical
devices.
- Robust industry standard PCI subsystem, supporting both 32-bit and
64-bit adapters. Greater application throughput is achieved by the four
independent PCI buses per drawer, providing up to 500MB per second aggregate
bandwidth per drawer.
- A high-performance ECC L2 cache of 4MB per RS64 processor. · RAID
support is provided for SCSI or SSA. The operating system provides RAID
0 and 1. The optional SCSI RAID or SSA RAID adapters provide RAID level
0, 1, and 5.
