Minimum Features For The Power7 Processor-Based Blade Servers - IBM BladeCenter PS700 Technical Overview And Introduction

The features of the server are as follows:
Machine type and model number
8406-71Y + FC 8358
Form factor
Double-wide (60 mm) blade
Processors:
– Two-socket 16-core 64-bit POWER7 processor operating at a 3.0 GHz clock speed
– Based on CMOS 12S 45 nm SOI (silicon-on-insulator) technology
– Power consumption is 150w/socket
– Double-wide (SW) Blade package
Memory
– 16 DIMM Slots
– Minimum capacity 8 GB, maximum capacity 256 GB
– Industry Standard VLP DDR3 DIMMs
Disk
– Two disk drive bays (one on each blade) supports one or two SAS HDD
– Hardware mirroring RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10
On-board integrated features:
– Service processor (one on each blade
– Four 1 GB Ethernet ports (HEA)
– SAS Controller
– USB Controller which routes to the USB 2.0 port on the media tray
– 1 Serial over LAN (SOL) Console through FSP
Expansion Card I/O Options:
– One CIOv expansion card slot (PCIe)
– One CFFh expansion card slot (PCIe)
Note: The PS702 is 16-core POWER7 processor-based blade server that is a combination
of a single-socket 8-core blade, model 8406-71Y (PS701), and a PS702 expansion blade,
feature code #8358.

1.5.4 Minimum features for the POWER7 processor-based blade servers

At the minimum PS700, PS701, and PS702 requires a BladeCenter chassis and one
processor socket per blade (four core single socket in PS700, eight core single socket in
PS701 and two eight core single socket in PS702 blade servers), minimum memory (8 GB)
and zero or one DASD, and a Language Group Specify (mandatory to order voltage
nomenclature/language).
Each system has a minimum feature set to be valid. The minimum system configuration for a
PS700 or PS701 is shown in Table 1-6 on page 22.

The service processor (or flexible service processor) on the expansion unit provides control but does not offer
redundancy with the SP on the base unit.
