Chapter 6. iSeries Model 520
The iSeries 520 server is designed for small
to mid-sized businesses. These are
businesses that need power and capacity to
run traditional core business applications
and need the freedom and scalability to add
new on demand business applications to
the same server. The 520 is the industry’s
first POWER5 technology-based server. It
has the capability to simultaneously run
multiple operating environments and
dynamically distribute processing
resources.
The 520 is offered as a deskside tower and
rack mounted configuration. It provides an
integrated set of hardware capabilities including two integrated 1 Gbps Ethernet
ports and an integrated Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) controller. An
optional redundant power supply is available. Hot-plugging is supported for
PCI-X card slots, disk slots, and redundant fans. Hot-plugging of removable
media devices is not supported.
