The IBM Power6 8203-E4A (#0588) PCI-X Expansion Unit in Rack</p><p>(Available in Refurbished Condition Only as of June 1, 2006) </p><p></p><p>#0588 is the equivalent of a #5088 PCI-X Expansion Unit, but the #0588 is a rack mounted unit. An #0588 is eight EIA units high and has 14 PCI-X slots for PCI IOPs and IOAs. Disk units and removable media are not supported in the #0588. The #0588 cannot be converted to a #5088. A #5088 cannot be converted to a #0588. </p><p></p><p>PCI IOAs are supported by feature #3705/#2844 PCI IOPs. A #2844 may be used in a #0588. </p><p></p><p>The #0588 has two redundant 575W power supplies and two integrated PDU compatible line cords. Both line cords may be connected to the same PDU or to separate PDUs in a rack. When the line cords are connected to separate PDUs, and those PDUs are connected to two different power sources, the #0588 has dual line cord capability. </p><p></p><p>A bus adapter to provide the RIO-2 interface to the system is included. </p><p></p><p>Cables must be ordered to attach to the RIO-2 ports. </p><p></p><p>Select the appropriate cable(s) based on desired cable length. </p><p></p><p>#3156 - 1.75m RIO-2 Cable </p><p>#3168 - 2.5m RIO-2 Cable </p><p>#3146 - 1m RIO-2 Cable </p><p>#3147 - 3.5m RIO-2 Cable </p><p>#3148 - 10m RIO-2 Cable </p><p>#1485 - 15m RIO-2 Cable </p><p>For each I/O tower/unit select one of the following SPCN cables: </p><p></p><p>#1466 - 30m SPCN Cable -supported only </p><p>#6001 - 2m SPCN Cable - supported only </p><p>#6006 - 3m SPCN Cable </p><p>#6007 - 15m SPCN Cable </p><p>#6008 - 6m SPCN Cable </p><p>#6029 - 30m SPCN Cable </p><p>Attributes provided: 14 PCI-X slots </p><p>Attributes required: RIO-2 cables, SPCN cables </p><p>For 8203-E4A: The IBM Power6 8203-E4A (#0588) </p><p>Minimum required: 0 </p><p>Maximum allowed: 12 (Initial order maximum: 12) </p><p>OS level required: IBM i V5R4 with V5R4M5 Machine Code, or later. </p><p>Initial Order/MES/Both/Supported: Supported </p><p>CSU: Yes </p><p>Return parts MES: Does not apply
