Power And Packaging; System Power - IBM i series Handbook

For the #2403 and #2351 processors, both the Base Main Storage card (CCIN 2881) and the
#2881 Main storage Expansion are required. For both new builds and MES orders, the
DIMMS (in octals) are "spread" across the base Main Storage card and the #2881 Main
Storage Expansion.

Power and Packaging

The Model 830 includes an internal battery that is automatically activated in the event of a
utility power loss. The battery provides full operating power for a short time to all components
within the system unit, but not to any external components. This can allow the system to run
uninterrupted for a short time (30 seconds or less). For longer power outages, the system
uses the battery to attempt an orderly shutdown to avoid losing data in main storage that is
not written to disk. An external UPS is recommended to protect the system unit and any
external components against utility power outages. Continuously Powered Mainstore (CPM)
is not supported on the Model 830. An external UPS can allow the system to run
uninterrupted for longer than thirty seconds when utility power is lost. It can also maintain
power long enough to ensure that the system successfully completes a shutdown to avoid
losing data.

System Power

• Processor Enclosure
– Bulks (1100 watt) (CCIN 515B) (Quantity two)
– Regulator (CCIN 27AA with Processors #2400 and #2402, CCIN 27AB with Processor
#2403)
• Base I/O Tower (#9074)
– Bulks (765 Watt) (CCIN 515A) (Quantity two)
– AC Input/Charger
– Batteries (Quantity four)
• Dual Line Cord - 830 CEC (#5103)
– Provides dual line cord capability for the Model 830 system unit and attached #9074
base I/O tower.
– Two #14XX line cords are required on the Model 830 when this feature is ordered
initially or as an upgrade to a Model 830. When ordering #5103 alone as an MES, an
additional 14XX line cord is required, for a total of two line cords for the system unit.
– This feature is supported on racked (#0550) Model 830 servers.
– Prerequisite: If the #9074 has feature #5101 (30-Disk Expansion Feature) installed,
the #5101 must be converted to a #5111.
