IBM i Power 6, 8204 (#0588) PCI-X Expansion Unit in Rack</p><p>(Refurbished Condition Only as of June 1, 2006)</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>PCI IOAs are supported by feature #3705/#2844 PCI IOPs. A #2844 may be used in a #0588.</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>A bus adapter to provide the RIO-2 interface to the system is included.</p><p>Cables must be ordered to attach to the RIO-2 ports.</p><p>Select the appropriate cable(s) based on desired cable length.</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>#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 8204-E8A: IBM i Power 6, 8204 (#0588)</p><p>Minimum required: 0</p><p>Maximum allowed: 12 (Initial order maximum: 0)</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
