iSeries® server. A new Integrated System x Adapter (1519-200) attaches an
x3400 to connect to an i5 or iSeries server. You can connect the iSeries family
of servers to provide virtual storage, virtual Ethernet, and tape sharing to an
attached x3400 server. You can easily integrate security, backup, and operations of a
Microsoft Windows and OS/400® environment.
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)
This open industry specification defines a flexible and extensible hardware interface

determine which applications are active and handle all of the power management
resources for computer subsystems and peripherals.
