IBM i Power 6, 8204 (#5786) TotalStorage EXP24 Disk Dwr</p><p>(Refurbished Condition Only as of November 26, 2010)</p><p>Provides disk slots for up to 24 disk units in a 19-inch, 4 EIA high rack drawer. The #5786 provides redundant power, redundant cooling, and Ultra 320 SCSI interface connections for 24 Ultra 320 SCSI disk units that are organized in four independent groups of six disk units.</p><p>#5741 and/or #5742 EXP24 Disk Slot Enablers (SCSI repeaters) enable these groups of six disk unit slots. The enabled disk slots are driven by SCSI disk controllers located outside the #5786 and connected by a SCSI cable. One to four Disk Slot Enablers are required, depending on the number of disk unit groups populated with disk units.</p><p>One external port on a disk controller such as a #5736/#5776/ #5782 is required for each #5741 installed. Likewise, one external disk controller port is required for each #5742 installed and cabled to run one group of six disk slots. Alternately, two #5742s can be cabled such that a single disk controller can run two groups of six disk slots. Or, one #5741 plus one #5742 can also be cabled such that a single disk controller can run two groups of six disk slots.</p><p>The following SCSI cables are available:</p><p>#2138 0.55m SCSI Cable</p><p>#2124 1m SCSI Cable</p><p>#2125 3m SCSI Cable</p><p>#2126 5m SCSI Cable</p><p>#2127 10m SCSI Cable</p><p>#2128 20m SCSI Cable</p><p>Attributes provided: 24 Ultra 320 SCSI disk unit slots</p><p>Attributes required: Disk controller with external Ultra 320 SCSI port and 4 EIA units of space in a 19-inch rack</p><p>For 8204-E8A: IBM i Power 6, 8204 (#5786)</p><p>Minimum required: 0</p><p>Maximum allowed: 24 (Initial order maximum: 24)</p><p>OS level required: IBM i V5R4 with V5R4M5 Machine Code, or later.</p><p>Initial Order/MES/Both/Supported: Both</p><p>CSU: Yes</p><p>Return parts MES: No</p><p>Note: Only allowed to be ordered on systems having an IBM i partition.
