Internal SCSI Cabling
Netfinity 8500R systems contains an LVDS backplane supporting two hot-swap drive bays that support installation of up to two 3.5-inch, slim-high or half-high HDDs. The backplane is connected
to the internal Wide Ultra2 SCSI controller through a 16-bit LVD SCSI cable. RAID support for the internal hot-swap drive bays is provided by adding a supported RAID adapter and moving the
standard SCSI cable from the onboard controller to the optional RAID controller. The standard external Wide Ultra2 SCSI port uses a 0.8-mm Very High Density Connector Interface (VHDCI).

1. The P-6 I/O bus supports four independent 64-bit PCI buses, two of which drive eight 33 MHz, 5.0 V slots (1-5, 10-12), while the other two buses drive four 66 MHz, 3.3 V slots (6-9). The 5 V slots support
Universal or 5 V adapters. A 66 MHz adapter plugged into these slots will operate at 33 MHz. The 3.3 V slots support Universal or 3.3 V adapters. A 33 MHz adapter plugged into these slots limits a 66 MHz
PCI adapter installed on the same bus to 33 MHz.
2. All 12 Slots are hot-plug capable using IBM’s Active PCI technology. For Network Operating System support access URL www.ibm.com/pc/us/compat.
3. Netfinity 8500R includes a dual-port, dual-channel, 64-bit Wide Ultra2 SCSI controller which supports either Single Ended (SE) or Low Voltage Differential SCSI (LVDS) modes. One internal connector
and one external port with a 0.8-mm Very High Density Connection Interface (VHDCI) are standard. The internal LVD SCSI cable has sufficient length to attach to an adapter located in slots 10...12. If a boot
device (internal or external) is to be attached to an adapter, the adapter must reside in slots 10...12 due to BIOS scanning sequences.
4. Installation of a 33 MHz adapter into a Bus B or C 66 MHz slot will slow operation of all Bus B or C slots to 33 MHz.
5. ServeRAID-4M Ultra160 SCSI Controller is powered by a 100 MHz Intel i960 processor and provides two channels, 64 MB of battery-backed ECC cache and two internal and two external Ultra160
connectors (only two connectors may be utilised). External connectors are 0.8-mm VHDCI.
6. ServeRAID-4H Ultra160 SCSI Controller is powered by a 266 MHz PowerPC 750 processor and provides 128 MB of battery-backed ECC cache with two internal and up to four external Ultra160
connectors (only four connectors may be utilised). External connectors are 0.8-mm VHDCI.
7. PCI Wide Ultra160 SCSI Adapter P/N 19K4646 provides a single channel with one internal connector and a five-drop multi-mode terminated LVD SCSI cable and one external connector with a 0.8-mm
VHDCI connector. Only one of the two connectors may be utilised.
8. See Fibre Channel Solutions section for additional configuration information.
9. Netfinity 8500R does not include an onboard network controller.
10. The Wake on LAN function of this option is not supported by this server.
11. Netfinity 8500R includes two USB ports, two high-speed serial/asynchronous ports, (NS 16550A compatible), and one high-speed (up to 2 MBps data transfer speed) bi-directional parallel port supporting
devices using ECP/EPP/SSP protocols adhering to the IEEE 1284 standard.
12. See Appendix E for details on Serial I/O options and configuration limitations. A maximum of four Serial I/O adapters (in any combination) may be installed.
13. Netfinity 8500R ships standard with a Netfinity Advanced System Management PCI Adapter.
14. Required for all Netfinity Servers containing a standard Advanced System Management Processor that are to be interconnected for system management support through a LAN or modem connection
(Netfinity 5500 models 1xX...4xX are not supported). Up to 12 service processors may be interconnected (including standard and optional processors) with an aggregate connection length of no more than 91.4
meters (300 ft). A customer-supplied Ethernet cable is required for each interconnection.
15. Contains an IBM Turbo 16/4 Token-Ring PCI Card, which installs in the PCMCIA card slot of Netfinity Advanced System Management PCI Adapter and a PC Card to 9-pin D-Shell cable which is routed
to a rear chassis cut-out. The Netfinity Advanced System Management PCI Adapter’s integrated Ethernet port and Netfinity Advanced System Management Token-Ring Connection cannot be connected or
used together. To download the latest firmware, access URL www.ibm.com/pc/us/netfinity. Select “Server Support”, “Family”, “Model”, “Downloadable Files” and finally “Advanced System Management”.
16. Although the 8500R integrated Netfinity Advanced System Management PCI Adapter is powered continuously through the redundant power supply subsystem, an even higher level of availability is offered
with the addition of UltraSlim 56W AC Adapter by allowing an independent power source or connection to a separate optional UPS.
17. Provides an ESCON MIC and DB9 Serial Port. Cables are not included but are available through S/390 channels. Contact your IBM representative for additional information.
18. A maximum of two ESCON adapters (installed in non-adjacent slots) are supported in a single Netfinity server. Where possible, install in a minimally loaded bus.
19. Where ‘xx’ represents a country specific code: 84=Denmark, 89=Israel, 88=Italy, 85=South Africa/India, 87=Switzerland, 86=UK, 83=EU1.
