<p>IBM i Series 8205-E6B (#5796) - PCI-DDR 12X Expansion Drawer</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The #5796 is a four EIA unit I/O expansion drawer providing six full length, 64 bit, 3.3 volt, 266MHz PCI-X DDR slots. Blind swap cassettes are used to insert or remove the PCI-X cards. The #5796 is attached to a system using a GX Dual Port 12X Channel Attach adpater in a 12X loop. Either a 12X Short Run adapter (6446) or 12X Long Run adapter (6457) must be selected on each #5796. Up to four #5796 can be attached on the same 12X loop using a mixture of Short Run and Long Run adapters.</p>
<p>The #5796 includes redundant hot-swap power and cooling. The blind swap PCI mechanism allows for PCI card concurrent maintenance without removing the I/O expansion drawer. The #5796 mounts in a 19-inch rack using a #7314 I/O Drawer Mounting Enclosure. Two #5796 drawers can be mounted side by side in a single #7314 using a total of four EIA. The #5796 are not required to be attached to the same system. Each #5796 requires two power cords</p>
<p>When placed in an IBM i partition, these PCI-X DDR slots support only smart IOAs and do not support an IOP or an IOA which requires an IOP.</p>
<p>Attributes provided: 6 PCI-X DDR slots for blind swap I/O adapters</p>
<p>Attributes required: Rack space in a #7314 I/O Drawer Mounting Enclusure. 12X cable(s). 12X Short Run or Long Run card, and SPCN cable(s).</p>
