Value Paks - IBM p5 550 Technical Overview And Introduction

include the handling of the partition profiles that define the processor, memory, and I/O
resources allocated to an individual partition.
The 7310 Model CR2 or the 7310 Model C03 HMCs are specifically for POWER5
processor-based systems. However, an existing 7315 Model CR2 and the 7315 Model C03
(POWER4 processor-based systems HMC) can be converted for POWER5 processor-based
systems use when it is loaded with the HMC software required for POWER5 processor-based
systems (FC 0961).
POWER5 processor-based system HMCs require Ethernet connectivity. Ensure that
sufficient Ethernet adapters are available to enable public and private networks if you need
both. The 7310 Model C03 is a desktop model with only one native 10/100/1000 Ethernet
port, but three additional PCI slots. The 7310 Model CR2 is a 1U, 19-inch rack mountable
drawer that has two native Ethernet ports and two additional PCI slots.
When an HMC is connected to the p5-550, the p5-550 integrated serial ports are disabled. If
you need serial connections, for example, non-Ethernet HACMP heartbeat, you need to
provide an async adapter.
Note: It is not possible to connect POWER4 and POWER5 processor-based systems
simultaneously to the same HMC.

1.4 Value Paks

Value Paks are a new offering available on an initial order only. They provide a predefined
configuration, designed to meet typical customer requirements. Special reduced pricing is
available when a system order satisfies specific configuration requirements for memory, disk
drives, and processors. When a Value Pak is ordered, it is still possible to select additional
features.
If you order a p5-550, you can qualify for a processor activation at no additional charge. The
number of processors, total memory, and quantity and size of disk are the only features that
determine if a customer is entitled to processor activations at no additional charge. You will
also be entitled to a discounted AIX operating system license or you can choose to purchase
the system with no operating system. All Value Paks consist of a standard configuration that
must be part of the order. For each paid processor activation, the customer is entitled to one
processor activationat no additional charge if the following minimum requirements are met:
The system must have at least two disk drives of 73.4 GB or greater each.
There must be at least 2 GB of memory installed for each activated processor, as
described in Table 1-7.
Note: Value Paks are available in an initial order only.
