IBM Editions – Power Express 710 - 740

• Get 50% of the processor core activations at no-charge

– Remember … 100% processor core activations required

• Initial purchase of a new box (or in an upgrade from 520 to 720)

– Later MES orders adding cores do NOT qualify for no-charge activations – Recommend buy more now to save on later purchase

Minimum requirements to qualify for edition Mdl Memory* I/O 710 2 GB per core 2 disk or 2 FC or 2 FCoE or 2 SSD 720 2 GB per core 2 disk or 2 FC or 2 FCoE or 2 SSD 730 4 GB per core 2 disk or 2 FC or 2 FCoE or 2 SSD 740 4 GB per core 2 disk or 2 FC or 2 FCoE or 2 SSD

* “Rounded up” if needed. In some cases, the actual memory required to be ordered may be higher than 2 or 4 GB per core. This could happen if for example with a 6-core 720 which according to the formula requires 12GB on the server. However, there is no way to order 12GB, and you end up

• rdering a minimum of 16GB

PCIe Low Profile vs Full High Adapters

• Important planning point --- order the right adapter
• Low profile adapters required for low profile slots (A)
• Full high adapters required for full high slots (B or C)
• Can not convert a LP adapter to a FH adapter, even if card surface area is the same (AB or BA)

– Tailstock replacement not offered

• As of 2H 2010, LP slots found in Power 710/730 and optionally in the Power 720/740 system unit. All other PCIe

slots in POWER6 system units, Power 750/755/770/780 system unit, or #5802/5877/5803/5877 PCIe I/O drawers are FH slots.

Power 520 to Power 720 Upgrade Economics

• 720 upgrade economics differ from Power 570 to 770/780 or Power 595 to 795 upgrade

economics

– 770/780/795 upgrades have hardware & activation “trade-in” value resulting in lower hardware purchase price – POWER5 520 to POWER6 520 do not have hardware/activation savings -- savings is in the licensing

• POWER6 520 to POWER7 720 Upgrades

– Like POWER5 520 to POWER6 520 upgrades, no hardware/activation savings -- savings is in the licensing – Get same 50% no-charge processor core activations as IBM Edition if qualify – All 8203 2/4-core systems eligible to do upgrades. IBM i clients probably most interested due to IBM licensing transfer rules – Warranty handled just like normal upgrades with the exception that the 720 has 3 year warranty and the 8203-E4A has 1 year warranty. On the upgrade 720 would receive two years warranty in addition to any of the 8203 1 year warranty remaining.

I/O Upgrade Considerations

• All the newer IBM I/O drawers (12X), disk, SSD and PCI adapters used on POWER6 supported on

POWER7 servers (non-Blade statement) – May need to move 3.5-inch SAS drives and PCI-X adapters

• Older I/O on POWER6 servers, but not on POWER7 servers

– RIO/HSL I/O drawers – SCSI disk smaller than 69GB or SCSI drives slower than 15k rpm – QIC tape drives – IOPs and IOP-based PCI adapters (IBM i)

2749, 5702, 5712, 2757, 5581, 5591, 2790, 5580, 5590, 5704, 5761, 2787, 5760, 4801, 4805, 3709, 4746, 4812, 4813

– Older LAN adapters: #5707, 1984, 5718, 1981, 5719, 1982 – Older SCSI adapters: #5776, 5583, 5777 – Telephony adapter: #6412 – See planning web page www.ibm.com/systems/power/hardware/sod2.html

#5903 PCIe 380MB Cache SAS RAID Adapter

• New Feat code #5805 for 720/740
• Same CCIN
• Same price
• Same electronics/function
• “Skinny battery”
• New Power 720/740 PCIe slots a little tighter than other models
• New #5805 feature designates a skinnier battery has been used
• Can use #5805 anywhere that a #5903 is used
• Will eventually introduce #5805 onto all models besides 720/740, but no hurry until “fat” batteries used up and all

service parts are “thin”

• With upgrades into Power 720, existing #5903 converted to #5805 (replacing battery) even if card located in

PCIe Cryptographic Coprocessor 4765-001

• IBM i support announced August 2010

– IBM i 7.1 announced. IBM i 6.1 not announced

• PCIe follow on to PCI-X Crypto adapter
• Faster, more reliable, more function than PCI-X 4764

– Up to 7x faster for PKCS#11 (AIX) – Up to 2X faster for CCA (IBM i and AIX) RSA functions than PCI-X 4764 – Runs two processors in parallel to help guarantee accurate results

• AIX support: 6.1 with TL 6100-05 or later or 5.3 with TL 5300-12 or

later

– No Linux support,

• Can mix PCIe and PCI-X Crypto adapter in same IBM i partition
• Can not mix PCIe and PCI-X Crypto adapters in same AIX partition

(Can mix on same system)

• For clients with banking, credit card, or finance applications –

especially those who want hardware designed to meet FIPS 140-2 level 4 security

Feat codes: #4807/4808/4809 3 feats for same adapter denote different BSC (blind swap cassette) usages CCIN = 4765 Pricing in USA is higher for PCIe vs PCI-X, but justified by higher performance and potential for using fewer PCIe adapters

Announced April 2010 for AIX
