The IBM eServer pSeries 620 Model 6F0 (7025-6F0) is a 64-bit deskside follow-on to the popular 7025 Model F80. It can be configured with 1-, 2-, or 4-way, RS64 III or RS64 IV, 64-bit processors. RS64 IV processors use the same copper-based technology introduced in the high- end pSeries 680. Systems configured with the maximum of four processors run at 750 MHz, 600 MHz, or 450 MHz. The L2 cache per processor is 8 MB for all 750 MHz processors, and 2 MB or 4 MB for all other processors. The Model 6F0 supports memory configurations up to 32 GB of SDRAM.

The pSeries 620 Model 6F0 is a powerful and expandable server combining the following attributes:

• Outstanding 64-bit commercial price/performance in the 1-to 4-way pSeries Enterprise Server class utilizing PowerPC technology.
• Excellent reliability, availability, and serviceability provided by:
  • Error checking and correcting (ECC) memory and cache
  • Service Processor for integrated system monitoring
  • Hot-swap disk drives o Concurrent diagnostics
  • Electronic Service Agent
• "Under-the-Covers" system scalability and expandability supporting:
  • Three media bays and two boot disk bays that can be configured for boot disk mirroring
  • Twelve hot-swap hard disk bays o One processor card slot holds a 1-, 2-, or 4-way card
  • Two memory cards with each containing up to eight DIMM pairs
  • Ten I/O slots for optional PCI expansion cards

The two standard power supplies included will accommodate all "Under-the-Covers" scalability and expansion without requiring any modification. An optional third power supply can be ordered to give you redundancy and enhanced system availability.

• A powerful, industry-standard, PCI-based I/O subsystem adds up to 1 GBps aggregate peak I/O bandwidth.
• Offers an integrated SCSI controller with one internal Fast/Wide port and one external Ultra2 port, an Ethernet 10/100 controller, four 9-pin serial ports, and one parallel port. These are standard on the system without utilizing any of the expansion slots provided. Each system is shipped with two 9-pin to 25-pin converter cables.
• Uses Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) memory with greater performance addressing up to 32 GB of ECC memory. The 32 GB of maximum memory can be installed via the addition of DIMM quads to the memory cards. The 1-way processor card also has slots for four DIMM pairs.
• A high-performance ECC L2 cache per processor of:
  • 2 MB on the 1-way 450 MHz and 600 MHz processors
  • 4 MB on the 2-and 4-way 450 MHz and 600 MHz processors
  • 8 MB on the 1-, 2-and 4-way 750 MHz processors It is 4-way set associative, which provides for a significant improvement in the cache hit rate efficiency.
• A highly-integrated memory controller and I/O interface designed for balanced system performance with memory bandwidth up to 2.4 GB per second.
• Supports Ultra3 SCSI hard disks "Under-the-Covers" and external Ultra3 SCSI subsystems.
• Supports Serial Storage Architecture (SSA) hard disks "Under-the-Covers" and external SSA subsystems.
• Includes two standard internal power supplies that combine to deliver ample power for any configuration. An optional third internal power supply with two fans can be ordered to provide redundant power and cooling, allowing the system to continue running in the event of a failed fan or power supply.
• Enhanced Ethernet communication via optional Gigabit adapter support.
