IBM iSeries Model 890 is an outstanding server which can run applications in
multiple operating environments simultaneously. Two processor features and two
Options Editions are used to help match workload to the proper processor for
today's needs and the needs of tomorrow.
The 890 server has performance and functional characteristics capable of running
the widest range of application workloads including e-business, WebSphere, Java,
Linux, client-server, ported UNIX, and Domino, as well as on-line transaction
processing (OLTP).
Model 890 can be installed in a general office environment, but a separate area
is recommended for the 890 and its I/O with appropriate electrical and air
conditioning supplies. The 890 consists of two physical enclosures. A large/tall
enclosure and a smaller enclosure. The tall enclosure contains the processors,
memory and HSL attachments and is called the system unit. The smaller enclosure
contains PCI slots and disk drives and is called the base I/O tower. The 890
system unit is 2025mm tall, 1494mm deep, and 785mm wide. Or in inches, it is
79.7in tall, 58.8in deep, and 30.9in wide. These dimensions do not include the
base I/O tower or any optional I/O towers or external I/O.
The Model 890 has space for up to 45 disk drives in the base I/O tower without
using an optional I/O tower. Up to 47 optional I/O towers can be attached via
High Speed Link (HSL) loops providing space for up to 2047 disk drives and up to
672 PCI slots.
The base Model 890 consists of:
The physical package and power elements and operator panel
Slots for memory features
14 PCI-X slots
An IOP (I/O Processor) supporting multiple PCI IOAs/controllers
Slots for 15 disk drives
Slots for two removable media devices such as a DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, or tape
cartridge drive
A PCI 2-line communications adapter with a built-in modem
For IBM to ship a new Model 890 the following is required:
A processor feature and number of activated processors
A package feature and a server feature
At least one PCI DASD controller
At least one disk drive
At least one DVD-ROM or DVD-RAM drive
At least 8GB memory (also called main storage)- the primary console connection
(LAN IOA or twinax IOA) selected
Many other hardware options/choices are available including:
Additional memory (main storage) up to 256GB total
Three capacities of disk drives (17.5GB, 35GB, and 70GB)
Disk controllers (performance/function/attachment differences)
UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) - highly recommended
I/O expansion options (I/O towers or I/O expansion unit)
LAN IOAs (multiple Ethernet and Token Ring options)
WAN IOAs (2-line and 4-line adapters, with and without integrated modems)
Additional IOPs
Tape controllers (also called magnetic media controllers)
Multiple tape options
Integrated xSeries Server to put a 1-Way xSeries "under the covers"
Integrated xSeries Adapter to attach via HSL a 1 to 8-Way xSeries
HSL cables
Cryptographic accelerator
