Note 1: Commercial Processing Workload (CPW) is used to measure the performance of all iSeries and AS/400e
processors announced from September 1996 onward. The CPW value is measured on maximum
configurations. The type and number of disk devices, the number of workstation controllers, the amount of
memory, the system model, other factors, and the application running determine what performance is
achievable. With the introduction of the Dedicated Servers for Domino, Simple Mail Users is added as a
performance measurement.
Note 2: The total number of tape drives does not increase.
Note 3: One line is used if the #5544 System Console on Operations Console is used. One line might be used if the
#5546 or #5548 System Console on LAN is selected and the #0367 Operations Console Cable is connected.
Note 4: There must be one CD-ROM or DVD-RAM per system.
Note 5 Because only three controllers and two towers are allowed on the SB3, a maximum of four HSL ports and two
HSL loops are usable to attach towers. Other ports and loops are usable for clustering only.
