#0595 PCI-X Tower Unit in Rack
Feature #0595 is the racked version of the #5095
PCI-X Expansion Tower which provides I/O capability
for iSeries servers. The #0595 has functional
capabilities identical to the #5095. The #0595 has
seven PCI-X IOP/IOA slots and supports up to 12 disk
units. A #9844 Base PCI I/O is included. The #0595
uses five EIA units of space in the tower and up to
seven #0595 may be installed in a #0551 iSeries
Rack.
The #0595 has redundant power when feature #5138
is specified. Feature #5138 includes a second 435W
power supply and a second line cord must also be
ordered to provide dual line cord capability.
A bus adapter to provide the HSL interface to the system is included. Select one
of the following options:
#6417 HSL-2/RIO-G Bus Adapter (for upgrades only)
#9517 - Base HSL-2/RIO-G Bus Adapter (copper) (for new towers only)
#9876 - Base Optical Bus Adapter (replacement for #9886)
#9877 - Base HSL-2 Bus Adapter (replacement for #9887)
#9887 - Base HSL-2 Bus Adapter to specify two copper HSL-2 ports
#9886 - Base Optical Bus Adapter to specify two optical HSL ports
One or two cables must be ordered to attach to the HSL or HSL-2 ports. When
ordering cables to connect to the HSL interface, optical HSL, copper HSL, copper
HSL-2, or copper HSL to HSL-2 cables are required. An HSL loop uses all optical
or all copper ports and cables. A copper loop can intermix I/O towers and units
with copper HSL and copper HSL-2 ports. Select the appropriate cable based on
the type of HSL ports to which it is being attached, and the cable length required.
Copper HSL to HSL-2 (HSL on one end and HSL-2 on the other end)
Copper HSL-2 (HSL-2 on both ends of the cable)
Optical HSL
A list of the supported HSL cables is shown in the table on page 299. For each
I/O tower or unit, select one SPCN cable. A list of the supported SPCN cables is
shown in the table on page 299.
