P630系统硬件架构

The Models 6C4 and 6E4 are members of the 64-bit family of symmetric multiprocessing
(SMP) UNIX servers from IBM. The Model 6C4 (product number 7028-6C4) is a 4 EIA1 (4U)
19-inch rack-mounted server, while the Model 6E4 (product number 7028-6E4) is a
deskside/desktop server. With a maximum of two processor cards, the Models 6C4 and 6E4 can be configured into 1-, 2-, or 4-way systems. Each processor card is packaged together with up to 16 GB of memory per card into a processor book (a sealed unit that protects the components in a rigid structure designed for higher reliability). Total system memory can range from 1 GB up to 32 GB on a 4-way system based on the currently available DIMMs.

 

The availability of dynamic logical partitioning (LPAR)  and cluster support  enhances the already exceptional value of these models.

 

The Models 6C4 and 6E4 include six hot-plug PCI-X slots and an integrated Single Ended SCSI controller (when equipped with POWER4+ processors), dual integrated Ultra3 SCSI controllers, dual 10/100 Mbps integrated Ethernet controllers, and four front-accessible disk bays supporting hot-swappable disks. These disk bays can accommodate up to 587.2 GB of disk storage using 146.8 GB Ultra3 SCSI disk drives. Two media bays are used for a CD-ROM, DVD-RAM, DVD-ROM, or another optional media device, such as a tape or diskette drive. The Converged Service Processor2 (CSP) functionality, including system power control, is also integrated, along with the native I/O functions such as serial ports,keyboard, and mouse.

 

The Models 6C4 and 6E4 contain an enhanced I/O subsystem with the implementation of the remote I/O (RIO) interconnect and PCI-X bus protocols. The Model 6C4 can support up to two high-density 7311-D20 I/O drawers to provide additional PCI-X slots and disk drive bays.
