Appendix E. Xseries I/O Option Attributes - IBM SCOD-3ZVQ5W Configuration And Options Manual

8. Single Channel Ultra320 SCSI Controller (P/N 71P8594) provides a single channel with one 68-pin
internal connector, a four-drop multimode terminated LVD SCSI cable and one external 0.8mm VHDCI
connector. Only one of the two connectors may be utilized. Hardware is included in the option to
support either low-profile (2U) or full-size (3U) installations.
9. See Fibre Channel Solutions Overview section for additional configuration information.
10. The option includes brackets for installation in both low-profile and full-size PCI slots.
11. For use of the Alert on LAN 2 features in the Desktop adapter, the system must be enabled with
IBM-compatible Alert on LAN 2 hardware and software components. Use of the Wake on LAN function
requires a PCI 2.2 compatible system that supports Wake on LAN and provides auxiliary 3.3v power
through the PCI bus.
12. Use of the Wake on LAN function requires a PCI 2.2 compatible system that supports Wake on LAN and
provides auxiliary power through the PCI bus.
13. Up to 24 Integrated System Management Processors or Remote Supervisors Adapters may be
interconnected with an aggregate connection length of no more than 91.4m (300ft). This interconnect
network of 24 devices may also include a maximum of 12 Advanced System Management Processors or
advanced System Management PCI Adapters. A customer-supplied Cat5 cable is required for each
interconnection.
14. When a standard Remote Supervisor Adapter or ASM PCI Adapter is installed in a dedicated PCI slot
with an external connector, support for connection to other servers in an ASM interconnect network
requires an optional Advanced System Management Interconnect Cable Kit (P/N 03K9309). Where
applicable, direct connection to the RXE drawer management controller in an RXE-100 Remote
Expansion Enclosure is supported through a standard Interconnect Management Cable Kit with 3.5m
cable (8m optional cable is available). Support is provided through a single LAN or modem connection.
15. Remote Supervisor Adapter (P/N 09N7585) includes an adapter card, 20-pin ribbon cable, AC power
adapter, power cable, power cable for UPS attachment, single pigtail cable, two RS-485 terminators and
1ft Cat5 cable.
16. Although the voltage key of this adapter is universal (compatible with 3.3 or 5v slots), the BIOS of each
system limits installation to a specific PCI slot.
17. Remote Supervisor Adapter II (P/N 59P2984) includes an internal 20-pin ribbon cable for connection to
the system planar, an interconnect cable, a 56w AC power adapter, an intra-rack power cable and a
country-specific wall power cord. External connectors include an RS230 (9-pin) serial port, 10/100 base T
Ethernet port (RJ-45), interconnect port (RJ-11) and power connector. The interconnect cable includes a
single RJ-11 connector and dual RJ-48 ports. Supports an interconnect network of up to 24 RSAs or ISMPs
with aggregate cable connection length of 300ft (91.4m) or less. No more than 12 ASMPs are supported in
an interconnect network. RJ-45 bus is self-terminating, i.e., terminators are not required for the
interconnect bus.
18. Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine is similar to RSA II and is available for select systems. It is not
supported on an ASM interconnect network. The RSA II SlimLine installs into a dedicated slot on the
systemboard and does not consume a PCI slot. An external AC adapter is not required as this card uses
standby power from the system's power.
19. Some xSeries servers support the IXA Adapter (P/N 1519100) for connection to iSeries models. Refer to
system sections for PCI slot restrictions.
20. Required to connect RAID controllers to the hot-swap backplane in x235 or x345.
21. Required to enable external 0.8mm VHDCI connectors on some systems.
22. When supported, this option can be used for certain external device connections when only USB ports
rather than serial or parallel ports are present on a system chassis.
23. Available only in the US.
