Note:
Refer to the Required Service Offerings section at the end of the Datacenter section for any manufacturing
install fees that may apply.
Note:
A node represents a single instance of the operating system. For example, a single-node 16-way configuration
will consist of one x3950 or three x3950 Es. A two-node 16-way configuration will consist of two x3950s, and six
x3950 Es.
Notes:
1.
All final customer configurations and solutions require IBM Solution Assurance Approval.
2.
Multi-node configurations are essentially single-node configurations clustered together.
Hardware/software that would be necessary for clustering is not covered here.
3.
The Datacenter OS comes preloaded on each High Availability (HA) DC model.
4.
Select one model to serve as the primary server. The OS will reside on this server.
5.
Select based on primary server selected. x3950 E COA must match the selected x3950 OS.
6.
Order both cables in quantities shown per configuration. Connects chassis in a node together.
7.
x3950 Datacenter models ship standard with the maximum number of processors. The x3950 Es have
zero processors standard.
8.
All processors in the solution must match. Select processors for x3950 E are based on the processor
installed in the primary x3950.
9.
This option is applicable for models 88727AY, 88727BY, 88728AY, 88728BY, 88743AY and 88743BY only.
10. HA solution x3950 and x3950 E Datacenter models have zero DIMMs standard. Minimum of two DIMMs
(one option kit) equating to 4GB required per chassis. Each chassis must contain the same memory
configuration.
11. All Datacenter models (x3950 and x3950 E) ship standard with two memory cards. Each memory card
supports four DIMMs. Max of four cards are supported per chassis.
