Power3 Smp Nodes - IBM RS/6000 SP Handbook

Switch adapters for these nodes are not interchangeable with either the switch
adapters used on uniprocessor wide nodes or with the SP Switch MX adapter
(F/C 4022) used on 332 MHz SMP nodes.
I/O adapters
The 375 MHz POWER3 SMP Thin Nodes have two PCI (Peripheral Component
Interconnect) adapter slots. A full line of PCI adapters is offered for these nodes
including:
SCSI-2
Ethernet
Token Ring
FDDI
ATM
Async
Wide Area Network (WAN)
SSA RAID5
S/390 ESCON
Note: A 100BaseTX, 10BaseT, or 10Base2 adapter for the SP Ethernet is
integrated into the node and does not occupy a PCI slot.

2.6 POWER3 SMP nodes

The POWER3 SMP node is the first scalable processor node that utilizes the
POWER3 64-bit microprocessor. The floating-point performance of the POWER3
microprocessor makes this node an excellent platform for compute-intensive
analysis applications. The POWER3 microprocessor offers technical leadership
for floating-point applications by integrating two floating-point, three fixed-point,
and two load/store units in a single 64-bit PowerPC implementation. Since the
node conforms to the RS/6000 Platform Architecture, compatibility is maintained
for existing device drivers, other subsystems, and applications. The POWER3
SMP node supports AIX operating systems beginning with version 4.3.2.
