Upgrade options for expansion towers
Converting the #5065, #5066, and #5075 PCI Expansion Tower allows you to
upgrade to newer, faster, and higher function HSL-attached I/O towers.
Conversions are available for:
#5065 Storage/PCI Expansion Tower to #5074 PCI Expansion Tower
#5066 1.8 M I/O Tower to #5079 1.8 M I/O Tower
#5075 PCI Expansion Tower to #5074 PCI Expansion Tower
While most features from the expansion towers are supported in the new towers,
many require no-charge feature conversions because the feature number is
different in the new tower. Those features not supported in the new towers must
be re-installed in the system unit or replaced with a new feature.
The no-charge feature conversions in the following table are available to move
features from the #5065/#5066 towers to PCI or PCI-X towers and expansion
units in iSeries Models 520, 550, 570, 595, 810, 820, 825, 830, 840, 870, and
890.
The converted features are physically and functionally identical.
The #5065/#5066 features listed in the following table are not supported in the
#5074/#5079 towers. They must be replaced.
