a. This column lists worldwide, generally available variant (GAV) model numbers. They are not orderable as listed and
must be modified by country. The US GAV model numbers use the following nomenclature: xxU. For example, the
US orderable part number for 7870-A2x is 7870-A2U. See the product-specific official IBM announcement letter for
other country-specific GAV model numbers.
b. Emulex Virtual Fabric Adapter Expansion Card (CFFh)
c. The HX5 has 16 DIMM sockets and can hold 128 GB using 8 GB memory DIMMs. The MAX5 has 24 DIMM sockets
and can hold 192 GB using 8 GB memory DIMMs. A 1-node HX5 + MAX5 supports 320 GB total using 8 GB DIMMs.
