Memory feature codes 5692, 5693, 5694, and 5695 can be mixed on the same POWER6
processor card. Memory feature codes 5696 and 8129 may not be mixed with any other
memory feature on a single processor card. A processor card with memory feature 5696 or
8129 can be mixed in the same CEC enclosure with a processor card containing other
POWER6 memory features. For all processors and all system configurations, if memory
features in a single system have different frequencies, all memory in the system will function
according to the lowest frequency present. Memory features 5696 and 8129 cannot be used
on processor card feature code 5620.
For all processors and all system configurations, if memory features in a single system have
different frequencies, all memory in the system will function according to the lowest frequency
present

1.3.3 Disk and media features

Each system building block features one SAS DASD controller with six hot-swappable
3.5-inch SAS disk bays and one hot-plug, slim-line media bay per enclosure. Only the new
SAS DASD hard disks are supported internally. The older SCSI DASD hard files can be
attached, but must be located in a remote I/O drawer. In a full configuration with four
connected building blocks, the combined system supports up to 24 disk bays
Table 1-5 shows the disk drive feature codes that each bay can contain.
