Hardware Configuration Guidelines Verifying System BIOS Version and Settings There are two models of the IBM Z Pro 6223. Model 64U was the first shipped for Incinerator systems. This model was replaced by the 7DU when the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) European Union directive took effect.
Please consult the manufacturer’s documentation for standardized minimum and maximum values. The following table summarizes the power consumed by the IBM 6223 system and the heat it generates under the maximum processing load produced by your Lustre system. For detailed specifications, including noise output, see the documentation provided by the manufacturer.
Notation Conventions Unit Conversion Example 1 Watt = 3.413 BTU 480 Watts = 1638 BTU 12000 BTU = 1 Ton of air conditioning 1638 BTU = 0.137 Ton of air conditioning For Incinerator power consumption and air conditioning requirement values, refer to the Connecting Components and Peripherals chapter of the Autodesk Incinerator 2008 Installation and User’s Guide.
Introduction Convention Example Text that you enter in a command line or shell appears in rpm -qa Courier bold. You must press the Enter key after each command. Variable names appear in Courier, enclosed in angle brackets. <variable_name> No spaces are allowed in variable names. Variables that appear enclosed in square brackets are [<filename>] optional.

Connecting Peripherals To upgrade from the FX4000 to the FX5500: Follow the instructions provided by NVIDIA to remove the FX4000 card. Follow the instructions provided by NVIDIA to install the FX5500 in the slot that was used by the FX4000 card. Install the SDI daughter board in slot 4 on Windows-based workstations, or in the punchout on Windows- and Linux-based workstations that have one.
Your workstation is configured with a single QLogic™ QLA 2344 fibre channel adapter. Consult the “Connection Diagrams for the IBM 6223/FX5500 with SDI Card in Punchout” page 14, “Connection Diagram for the IBM 6223/FX5500 with SDI Card in PCI Slot” on page 16, and “Connection Diagrams for the IBM 6223/NVIDIA FX4000”...

Connecting Peripherals To verify and/or change the QLogic BIOS settings: Reboot the system and, when the QLogic board starts initializing during the boot process, press C +Q to enter the QLogic BIOS settings. The QLogic board takes only a few seconds to initialize, so you should follow the boot messages closely and be ready to press as soon as you see the QLogic QLA board referenced in the boot messages.
Network Connections To restore all QLogic BIOS settings to their default values: Reboot the system and, when the QLogic board starts initializing during the boot process, press C +Q to enter the QLogic BIOS settings. The QLogic board takes only a few seconds to initialize, so you should follow the boot messages closely and be ready to press as soon as you see the QLogic QLA board referenced in the boot messages.
