Towers, racks, and

high-speed link

To house components beyond the capability of the system unit, towers are

added. Expansion towers are offered for new or migrated PCI features. Rack

mounting options are available for select systems and towers. Towers and

rack-mounted devices are connected to each other using high-speed links (HSL)

(HSL or HSL-2/RIO-G).

For information about the software required to support towers and input/output

(I/O) on iSeries servers, refer to Informational APAR II13440 on the Web at:

http://www.ibm.com/support/us/

For information about planning for iSeries racks, including PDU specifications,

the number of PCI cards supported, and the number of EIA units, refer to the

"iSeries Racking" presentation at:

Migration Towers are not supported by the Model 520, 550, 570, 595, 800, 810,

825, 870 and 890 models and are

"Migration towers" on page 315 for a brief description of the #5033, #5034,

#5035, and #5077 Migration Towers. Refer to the IBM Eserver iSeries and
