2.7.4 Processor requirements and options

222 MHz POWER3 SMP High Nodes require a minimum of two 222 MHz,
PowerPC processors mounted on one card. You can order up to three additional
two-processor cards (F/C 4849) to configure the node with a total of sixteen
CPUs. Table 2-9 shows the processor options for the POWER3 SMP High
Nodes.

4849 One processor card with two CPUs

2.7.5 Memory options

222 MHz POWER3 SMP High Nodes have one to four memory cards, require a
minimum of one GB of memory, and support a maximum of 16 GB. Memory is
supplied by 128 MB DIMMs which must be mounted in banks of eight DIMMs.
For the best memory-access bandwidth, memory DIMMs should be distributed
evenly across four memory cards. The following list illustrates this:
1 to 4 GB memory mounted on one card yields 16.8 - 24.3% of peak
bandwidth.
2 to 8 GB mounted on two cards yields 33.5 - 48.5% of peak.
4 to 16 GB mounted on four cards yields 67 - 97% of peak.
The configurator rules used for memory placement in these nodes are designed
to yield the best memory performance. Any plans to increase the amount of
memory in the future should always be taken into consideration when deciding
what quantity of memory cards to order. Table 2-10 shows the memory features
for the POWER3 SMP High Node.
