The pSeries 615 offers two different form factors to provide flexibility
in building a computing infrastructure. The pSeries 615 Model 6E3 features
a compact deskside design with a small footprint-23 inches (584mm) deep
and 7.9 inches (201mm) wide. The pSeries 615 Model 6C3 offers a four EIA
Unit (4U) drawer1 designed for "racking and stacking," so it can be easily
installed in an industry-standard 19-inch rack such as the IBM 7014 Model
T00 (36U) or Model T42 (42U).
High-performance 10/100 and 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet and two Ultra320
SCSI controllers are integrated into each pSeries 615. This integration
can eliminate the need for additional controllers, which saves space and
costs. Up to two internal RAID options are available, thereby improving
performance and data availability while avoiding the need for expensive
external storage devices.
The pSeries 615 offers excellent expandability with four standard and
four optionally available hot-swappable disk bays. The disk bays can accommodate
36.4GB, 73.4GB or 146.8GB disk drives, providing more than one terabyte
of available internal hot-swappable disk storage.
Six hot-plug PCI-X I/O slots support 64-bit adapters and offer compatibility
with most pSeries 32-bit expansion cards. Three media bays are available
for attachment of DVDROM, DVD-RAM, diskette or tape drive devices.
