IBM model 7025-F80
The IBM 7025 RS/6000 Model F80 server includes a modular disk subsystem
that simplifies addition and replacement of drives. It has a hot-swap
storage maximum capacity of 218.4 GB and a flexible I/O subsystem of ten
64-bit PCI slots, which support hot-plug adapters. The F80 is shipped
with the internal adapters and devices configured and installed; software
can also be preinstalled if desired. The F80 provides enhanced reliability
when an optional third power supply is ordered to provide redundant power
and cooling. Many features, including most disk drives, PCI adapters,
power supplies, and fans, can be installed or removed while the system
continues to operate.
The F80 can be used as a stand-alone, multiuser, application or database
server, and has the connectivity to participate in most currently installed
UNIX** and PC networks. It can also be configured for use as an Ultra2
SCSI, or Serial Storage Architecture (SSA) RAID server by taking advantage
of the "Under-the-Covers" storage expansion capability, and its design
allows for future system growth.
The F80 integrates key reliability, availability, and serviceability
(RAS) attributes:
- ECC on system memory and L2 cache; single-bit error correction and
double-bit error detection
- Parity detection for the system bus, PCI address, and data busses
- Hot-swap disk drives
- Disk drive fault tracking and warning
- RAID 1 (via AIX disk mirroring function)
- RAID 0, 1, and 5 under the covers (optional via adapter)
- On-line (concurrent) and remote (LAN or modem) system diagnostics
- Vital Product Data (VPD) for most base-system, field replaceable units
(FRUs)
- Redundant power and cooling capability
