IBM i Power 6, 8204 (#5296) 1.8m I/O Tower (no disk)</p><p>The #5296 is a I/O expansion tower that has 28 PCI slots, no disk unit bays, and no removable media bays.</p><p>Each #5296 is essentially two #5096 PCI-X Expansion Towers, with side covers and casters removed, placed in a 1.8M rack. Each #5296 counts as two #5096s towards the system model maximums.</p><p>Two bus adapters, to provide the RIO-2 interfaces to the system, are required with each #5296. Select two of the following:</p><p>#6417 - Base RIO-2 Bus Adapter (for copper RIO-2 interfaces)</p><p>The upper and lower enclosures IBM i Power 6, 8204 (#5096s) in a #5296 are not connected internally by a RIO cable. If the #5296 is to be placed in an RIO loop (both upper and lower enclosure on same RIO loop), a RIO-2 cable is required to connect the upper and lower enclosures. A copper loop can intermix I/O towers/units with copper RIO and copper RIO-2 ports. Select the appropriate cable based on the cable length required.</p><p>Select three or four of the following RIO cables, on initial orders, for the first #5296 on the system. For additional #5296s, or on an MES order, select two, three, or four of the following RIO cables per tower:</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 4m RIO-2 Cable</p><p>#3148 10m RIO-2 Cable</p><p>Select two of the following SPCN cables for each #5296:</p><p>#1466 30m SPCN Cable</p><p>#6001 2m SPCN Cable</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>No base IOPs are included with a #5296. For each #5296 ordered, a quantity of two #0694, #5096 Equivalent, specify codes will be added to the order. If a #5296 is to be shared between two systems, one #0694 must be removed from the original ordering system and added to the sharing system, using a Record Purpose Only (RPO) change.</p><p>Dual line cord capability is available for the #5296 with feature #5116. With a #5116 installed, both tower units of a #5296 will have dual line cord capability. Two additional line cords (for a total of four), must be ordered when a #5116 is installed. Plugging in the second line cord from the upper and lower units, even if to the same outlet, enables each unit's AC power modules to be redundant. For the best power protection, the first and second line cords should be attached to different power sources.</p><p>Two of the following line cords are required on a #5296:</p><p>#1399 - 4.3m 300V/16A</p><p>#1406 - 200V 16A 14-Ft TL Line Cord</p><p>#6455 - 4.3m 200V/16A Pwr Cd Italy</p><p>#1409 - 4.3m 200V/16A Pwr Cd AU/NZ</p><p>#1418 - 4.3m 200V/16A Pwr Cd S Afric</p><p>#1419 - 4.3m 200V/16A Pwr Cd Israel</p><p>#1420 - 4.3m 200V/16A Pwr Cd EU/Asia</p><p>#1421 - 4.3m 200V/16A Pwr Cd CH/DK</p><p>#1451 - 200V 6-Ft Line Cord</p><p>#1452 - 200V 14-Ft Line Cord</p><p>#1453 - 200V 6-Ft Locking Line Cord</p><p>#1454 - 200V 12A 14-Ft TL Line Cord</p><p>#1455 - 200V 6-Ft Wtrtght Line Cord</p><p>#1456 - 200V 14-Ft Wtrtght Line Cord</p><p>#1476 - 4.3m 200V/12A Pwr Cd UK</p><p>Attributes provided: 28 PCI slots</p><p>Attributes required: RIO connections, two to four wall electrical outlets, at least one #0696 on the inventory record</p><p>For 8204-E8A: IBM i Power 6, 8204 (#5296)</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
