A higher max with the expanded function backplane is possible.USB-2 ports have limited client usage. IBM i clients can use a port to communicate with a UPSNot available in PowerKVM environmentFor additional connectivity information, please reference the IBM Sales Manual for more information on I/O features andadapters.2
IBM Power SystemsWhy Power Systems?Powerful forces—mobile, cloud and big data & analytics—are redefining how business getsdone. Leaders are leveraging these forces to deepen relationships with customers andpartners, drive new efficiencies and expand business models. IBM is the right partner to helpyou:Leverage systems that optimize big data and analytics performance.Power Systems are designed for big data—from operational to computational to business andcognitive Watson solutions—are optimized for performance and can scale to supportdemanding and growing workloads. Capitalize on the currency of data by finding businessinsights faster and more efficiently. And gain the elasticity you need to handle the varyinganalytics initiatives your business requires.Realize the true potential of enterprise cloud.Power Systems will help you deliver on the promise of cloud and take advantage of superiorcloud economics. With higher utilization and performance capabilities and the ability to scaleout and up, you can reap the benefits of improved economics associated with fewer scale-outsystems. Leveraging the robust security built into the foundation of Power Systems, you gainthe confidence you need to move more workloads to the cloud, capitalize on greaterefficiencies and do more.Revolutionize the way IT is created and consumed.Power architecture is at the heart of the OpenPOWER Foundation, a community that’s takingadvantage of an open technology platform to help organizations create new opportunities anddesign next-generation applications to drive business success. The first to adopt open servertechnology, Power Systems help you more quickly and easily deliver a broader set of servicesand incorporate new technologies using the same technology footprintFollow us @IBMpowersystemsLearn more at www.ibm.com/power3

Allbackplane options offer RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10 capabilities plus hot spare capability. Write cache is mirrored for protection andphysically is two 1.8 GB DRAM caches offering up to 7.2 GB effective capacity with compression. One optional EXP24Sstorage drawer attachment is to two SAS ports on rear of server which are provided with the expanded function backplane.The EXP24S is external to the system unit taking 2U rack space and attached via SAS cables and provides 24 SSF-2 SASbays for disk or for SSD.7

IBM Power SystemsPerformance NotesThe performance information contained herein is current as of the date of this document. All performancebenchmark values and estimates are provided “AS IS” and no warranties or guarantees are expressed or impliedby IBM. Buyers should consult other sources of information, including system benchmarks, to evaluate theperformance of a system they are considering.rPerf (Relative Performance) is an estimate of commercial processing performance relative to other IBM UNIX systems. It is derived from an IBM analytical model which uses characteristics from IBM internal workloads, TPCand SPEC benchmarks. The rPerf model is not intended to represent any specific public benchmark results andshould not be reasonably used in that way. The model simulates some of the system operations such as CPU,cache and memory. However, the model does not simulate disk or network I/O operations.rPerf estimates are calculated based on systems with the latest levels of AIX and other pertinent software at thetime of system announcement. Actual performance will vary based on application and configuration specifics. TheIBM eServer pSeries 640 is the baseline reference system and has a value of 1.0. Although rPerf may beused to approximate relative IBM UNIX commercial processing performance, actual system performance mayvary and is dependent upon many factors including system hardware configuration and software design andconfiguration. Variations in incremental system performance may be observed in commercial workloads due tochanges in the underlying system architecture. For additional information about rPerf, contact your localIBM office or IBM authorized reseller.Commercial Processing Workload (CPW) is a relative measure of performance of systems running the IBM i operating system.Performance in client environments may vary. The value is based on maximum configurations. For a complete descriptionPlease refer to the “IBM Power Systems Performance Capabilities Reference - IBM i operating system” at the following Website of CPW and the CPW rating for IBM Power ement/performance/resources.htmlAll performance estimates are provided “AS IS” and no warranties or guarantees are expressed or implied byIBM. Buyers should consult other sources of information, including system benchmarks and application sizingguides to evaluate the performance of a system they are considering buying. Actual system performance mayvary and is dependent upon many factors including system hardware configuration and software design andconfiguration. IBM recommends application-oriented testing for performance predictions.
