Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS)
Reliability, fault tolerance, and data integrity: The reliability of the systems
starts with components, devices, and subsystems that are designed to be
fault-tolerant. During the design and development process, subsystems go
through rigorous verification and integration testing processes. During system
manufacturing, systems go through a thorough testing process to help ensure the
highest level of product quality.
The system cache and memory offer ECC (error checking and correcting) faulttolerant features. ECC is designed to correct environmentally induced, single-bit,
intermittent memory failures and single-bit hard failures. With ECC, the likelihood of
memory failures will be substantially reduced. ECC also provides double-bit memory
error detection that helps protect data integrity in the event of a double-bit memory
failure.
The AIX® operating system provides disk drive mirroring and disk drive controller
duplexing. Linux® supports disk drive mirroring (RAID 1) through software, while
RAID protection is provided via hardware RAID adapters.
The Journaled File System, also known as JFS or JFS2, helps maintain file system
consistency and reduces the likelihood of data loss when the system is abnormally
halted due to a power failure. JFS, the recommended file system for 32-bit kernels,
now supports extents on the Linux operating system. This feature is designed
IBM Europe, Middle East, and Africa
Hardware Announcement ZG09-0654
IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation
5
to substantially reduce or eliminate fragmentation. Its successor, JFS2, is the
recommended file system for 64-bit kernels.
With 64-bit addressing, a maximum file system size of 32 TB, and maximum file
size of 16 TB, JFS2 is highly recommended for systems running the AIX operating
system.
Memory error correction extensions: The memory has single- error-bit
correction and double-error-bit detection ECC circuitry. The memory chips are
organized such that the failure of any specific memory module only affects a single
bit within an ECC word (bit scattering), thus allowing for error correction and
TM
continued operation in the presence of a complete DRAM chip failure (Chipkill
recovery). The double-bit detection is designed to help maintain data integrity by
detecting and reporting multiple errors beyond what the ECC circuitry can correct.
Memory protection features include hardware scrubbing, thresholding, and dynamic
bit steering. Dynamic bit steering uses correctable error thresholding to determine
when available spare memory modules on each DIMM should be used to replace
ones that have exceeded their threshold value.
Redundancy for array self-healing: Although the most likely failure event in a
processor is a soft single-bit error in one of its caches, other events can occur, and
they need to be distinguished from one another. For caches and their directories,
hardware and firmware keep track of whether permanent errors are being corrected
beyond a threshold. If exceeded, a deferred repair error log is created.
Caches and directories on the POWER6 chip are manufactured with spare bits
in their arrays that can be accessed via programmable steering logic to replace
faulty bits in the respective arrays. This is analogous to the redundant bit steering
employed in main storage as a mechanism that is designed to help avoid physical
repair, and is also implemented in POWER6 systems. The steering logic is activated
during processor initialization and is initiated by the built-in system-test (BIST) at
power-on time.
When correctable error cache exceeds a set threshold, systems using the POWER6
processor invoke a dynamic cache line delete function, which enables them to stop
using bad cache and eliminates exposure to greater problems.
Fault monitoring functions
• When a POWER6-based system is powered on, BIST and POST (power-on selftest) checks processor, cache, memory, and associated hardware required for
proper booting of the operating system. If a noncritical error is detected or if the
errors occur in resources that can be removed from the system configuration, the
restarting process is designed to proceed to completion. The errors are logged in
the system nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM).
• Disk drive fault tracking is designed to alert the system administrator of an
impending disk drive failure before it impacts customer operation.
Mutual surveillance: The Service Processor monitors the operation of the firmware
TM
during the boot process and also monitors the Hypervisor for termination. The
Hypervisor monitors the Service Processor and will perform a reset/reload if it
detects the loss of the Service Processor. If the reset/reload does not correct the
problem with the Service Processor, the Hypervisor will notify the operating system
and the operating system can take appropriate action, including calling for service.
Environmental monitoring functions POWER6 processor-based servers
include a range of environmental monitoring functions:
• Temperature monitoring increases the fan speed rotation when ambient
temperature is above the normal operating range or when a redundant fan fails.
• Temperature monitoring warns the system administrator of potential
environmental-related problems (for example, air conditioning and air circulation
around the system) so that appropriate corrective actions can be taken before a
critical failure threshold is reached. It also performs an orderly system shutdown
when the operating temperature exceeds the critical level.

• Fan speed monitoring provides a warning and an orderly system shut- down when
the speed is out of operational specification.
• Voltage monitoring provides warning and an orderly system shutdown when the
voltages are out of operational specification.
Availability enhancement functions: The POWER6 line of systems continues
to offer and introduce significant enhancements designed to increase system
availability.
POWER6 Processor enhancement functions
One of the significant mainframe-inspired availability enhancements in systems with
the POWER6 processor is the ability to do processor instruction retry and alternate
processor recovery. This significantly reduces exposure to both hard (logic) and soft
(transient) errors in the processor core.
Soft failures in the processor core are transient (intermittent) errors, often due to
cosmic rays or other sources of radiation, and generally are not repeatable. When
an error is encountered in the core, the POWER6 processor will first automatically
retry the instruction. If the source of the error was truly transient, the instruction
will succeed and the system will continue as before. On predecessor IBM systems,
this error would have caused a checkstop.
Hard failures are more difficult, being true logical errors that will be replicated
each time the instruction is repeated. Retrying the instruction will not help in
this situation because the instruction will continue to fail. Systems with POWER6
processors introduce the ability to extract the failing instruction from the faulty core
and retry it else- where in the system, after which the failing core is dynamically
deconfigured and called out for replacement. The entire process is transparent to
the partition owning the failing instruction. Systems with POWER6 processors are
designed to avoid what would have been a full system outage on earlier models.
POWER6 single processor checkstopping: Another major advancement in
POWER6 processors is single processor checkstopping. Prior to POWER6 processors,
a processor checkstop would result in a system checkstop. A new feature is the
ability to contain most processor checkstops to the partition that was using the
processor at the time. This significantly reduces the probability of any one processor
affecting total system availability.
Partition availability priority
Also new is the ability to assign availability priorities to partitions. If an alternate
processor recovery event requires a spare processor in order to protect a workload
but one is not available, the system will determine which partition has the lowest
priority and attempt to claim the needed resource. On a properly configured
POWER6 processor-based server, this ensures that capacity is first obtained from,
for example, a test partition instead of a financial accounting system.
POWER6 cache availability
The POWER processor-based line of servers continues to be at the forefront of cache
availability enhancements. While L3 cache line delete (also called "Pellston" healing)
TM
was introduced with POWER4 processors, the POWER6 processor line pioneers
L2 cache line delete. In the event that an uncorrectable error occurs in L2 cache,
the system will be able to dynamically remove the offending line of cache without
requiring a reboot. In addition, POWER6 processors utilize an inclusive L1/L2 cache
design and a write-through cache policy on all levels, helping to ensure that data is
written to main memory as soon as possible. POWER6 processors also continue to
offer hardware-assisted memory scrubbing.
Special correctable error handling
Uncorrectable errors are difficult for any system to tolerate, although there are
some situations where they can be shown to be irrelevant. For example, if an
uncorrectable error occurs in cached data that will never again be read or where
IBM Europe, Middle East, and Africa
Hardware Announcement ZG09-0654
IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation
7
a fresh write of the data is imminent, it would be unwise to "protect" the user by
forcing an immediate reboot.
Special Uncorrectable Error (SUE) handling was an IBM innovation introduced for
TM
POWER5 processors, where an uncorrectable error in memory or cache does not
immediately cause the system to terminate. Rather, the system tags the data and
determines whether it will ever be used again. If the error is irrelevant, it will not
force a checkstop.
PCI Extended error handling
Prior to POWER5 processors, PCI bus parity errors caused a global machine check
interrupt, which eventually required a system reboot to continue. In systems using
POWER6 processors, I/O drawer hardware, system firmware, and AIX interaction
have been designed to allow transparent recovery of intermittent PCI bus parity
errors and graceful transition to the I/O device available state in the case of a
permanent parity error in the PCI bus. This mechanism is called PCI extended error
handling (EEH).
EEH-enabled adapters respond to a special data packet generated from the affected
PCI slot hardware by calling system firmware, which will examine the affected bus,
allow the device driver to reset it, and continue without a system reboot. Currently,
there is limited support for the Linux operating system, depending upon driver
availability.
Predictive failure analysis and dynamic component deallocation
Servers with POWER processors have long had the capability to perform predictive
failure analysis on certain critical components such as processors and memory.
When these components exhibit symptoms that would indicate a failure is imminent,
the system can dynamically deallocate and call home about the failing part before
the error becomes systematic. In many cases this is transparent, especially if the
system contains Capacity Upgrade On Demand (CUoD) components. If no CUoD
resources are available, the system will first attempt to reallocate resources in such
a way that will avoid unplanned outages. In the event that insufficient resources
exist to maintain full system availability, these servers will attempt to maintain
partition availability by user-defined priority.
Uncorrectable error recovery
When the auto-restart option is enabled, the system can automatically restart
following an unrecoverable software error, hardware failure, or environmentally
induced (ac power) failure.
Serviceability: The purpose of Serviceability is to repair the system while
attempting to minimize or eliminate service cost (within budget objectives), while
maintaining high customer satisfaction. Serviceability includes system installation,
MES (system upgrades/downgrades), and system maintenance/repair. Depending
upon the system and warranty contract, service may be performed by the customer,
an IBM representative, or an authorized warranty service provider.
The Serviceability features delivered in this system provide a highly efficient service
environment by incorporating the following attributes:
• Design for Customer Set Up (CSU), Customer Installed Features (CIF), and
Customer Replaceable Units (CRU)
• Error detection and Fault Isolation (ED/FI)
• First Failure Data Capture (FFDC)
• Converged service approach across multiple IBM server platforms
Service environments
The POWER6 processor-based platforms support two main service environments:
• No HMC. There are two service strategies for non-HMC systems:
IBM Europe, Middle East, and Africa
Hardware Announcement ZG09-0654
IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation
8
– Full system partition: A single partition owns all the server resources and only
one operating system may be installed.
– Partitioned system: In this configuration, the system can have more than
one partition and can be running more than one operating system. In this
environment, partitions are managed by the Integrated Virtualization Manager
(IVM), which provides some of the functions provided by the HMC.
• Attachment to one or more HMCs is supported by the system. This is the default
configuration for servers supporting logical partitions with dedicated or virtual I/O.
In this case, all servers have at least one logical partition.
The HMC is a dedicated server that provides functions for configuring and managing
servers for either partitioned or full-system partition using a GUI or Command Line
Interface (CLI). An HMC attached to the system allows support personnel (with
client authorization) to remotely log in to review error logs and perform remote
maintenance if required.
Service interface: The Service Interface allows support personnel to communicate
with the service support applications in a server using a console, interface, or
terminal. Delivering a clear, concise view of available service applications, the
Service Interface allows the support team to manage system resources and service
information in an efficient and effective way. Applications available via the Service
Interface are carefully configured and placed to give service providers access to
important service functions. Different service interfaces are used depending on the
state of the system and its operating environment. The primary service interfaces
are:
• LEDs
• Operator Panel
• Service Processor menu
• Operating system service menu
• Service Focal Point on the HMC
• Service Focal Point Lite on IVM
In the guiding light LED implementation, when a fault condition is detected on
the POWER6 processor-based product, an amber System Attention LED will be
illuminated. Upon arrival at the server, a service provider sets the identify mode,
selecting a specific problem to be identified for repair by the guiding light method.
The guiding light system pinpoints the exact part by flashing the amber identity LED
associated with the part to be replaced.
The system can clearly identify components for replacement by using specific
component level indicators, and can also "guide" the servicer directly to the
component by signaling (causing to flash) the Rack/Frame System Identify indicator
and the Drawer Identify indicator on the drawer containing the component.
The flashing identify LEDs direct the servicer to the correct system, the correct
enclosure, and the correct component.
First failure data capture and error data analysis
First Failure Data Capture (FFDC) is a technique that helps ensure that when a fault
is detected in a system, the root cause of the fault will be captured without the
need to re-create the problem or run any sort of extending tracing or diagnostics
program. For the vast majority of faults, a good FFDC design means that the root
cause can also be detected automatically without servicer intervention.
FFDC information, error data analysis, and fault isolation are necessary to
implement the advanced serviceability techniques that enable efficient service of the
systems and to help determine the failing items.
In the absence of FFDC and Error Data Analysis, diagnostics are often required to
re-create the failure and determine the failing items.

Diagnostics
General diagnostic objectives are to detect and identify problems such that they can
be resolved quickly. Elements of IBM's diagnostics strategy include:
• Provide a Common Error Code format equivalent to a System Reference Code,
System Reference Number, Checkpoint, or Firmware error code.
• Provide fault detection and problem isolation procedures.
• Support remote connection ability to be used by the IBM Remote Support Center
or IBM Designated Service.
• Provide interactive intelligence within the diagnostics with detailed online failure
information while connected to IBM's back-end system.
Automatic diagnostics
Because of the FFDC technology designed into IBM Servers, it is no longer necessary
to perform " re-create diagnostics" for failures or require user intervention. Solid and
intermittent errors are designed to be correctly detected and isolated at the time the
failure occurs. Runtime and boot-time diagnostics fall into this category.
Stand-alone diagnostics
As the name implies, stand-alone or user-initiated diagnostics require user
intervention. The user must perform manual steps including:
• CD-based diagnostics
• Keying in commands
• Interactively selecting steps from a list of choices
Concurrent maintenance
The system will continue to support concurrent maintenance of power, cooling, PCI
adapters, media devices, operator panel, and firmware updates (when possible).
The determination of whether a firmware release can be updated concurrently is
identified in the read me information file released with the firmware.
Service labels
Service providers use these labels to assist them in performing maintenance actions.
Service labels are found in various formats and positions, and are intended to
transmit readily available information to the servicer during the repair process.
Following are some of these service labels and their purpose:
• Location diagrams: Location diagrams are strategically located on the system
hardware, relating information regarding the placement of hardware components.
Location diagrams may include location codes, drawings of physical locations,
concurrent maintenance status, or other data pertinent to a repair. Location
diagrams are especially useful when multiple components are installed such as
DIMMs, CPUs, processor books, fans, adapter cards, LEDs, and power supplies.
• Remove/replace procedures: Service labels that contain remove/replace
procedures are often found on a cover of the system or in other spots accessible
to the servicer. These labels provide systematic procedures, including diagrams,
detailing how to remove/replace certain serviceable hardware components.
• Arrows: Arrows are used to indicate the serviceability direction of components.
Some serviceable parts such as latches, levers, and touch points need to be pulled
or pushed in a certain direction for the mechanical mechanisms to engage or
disengage. Arrows generally improve the ease of serviceability.
Packaging for service
The following service enhancements are included in the physical packaging of the
systems to facilitate service:
IBM Europe, Middle East, and Africa
Hardware Announcement ZG09-0654

10
• Color coding (touch points): Terracotta-colored touch points indicate that a
component (FRU/CRU) can potentially be concurrently maintained. Blue-colored
touch points delineate components that are not concurrently maintained -- those
that require the system to be turned off for removal or repair.
• Tool-less design: Selected IBM systems support tool-less or simple tool designs.
These designs require no tools or simple tools such as flat-head screw drivers to
service the hardware components.
• Positive retention: Positive retention mechanisms help to assure proper
connections between hardware components such as cables to connectors, and
between two cards that attach to each other. Without positive retention, hardware
components run the risk of becoming loose during shipping or installation,
preventing a good electrical connection. Positive retention mechanisms like
latches, levers, thumb-screws, pop Nylatches (U-clips), and cables are included
to help prevent loose connections and aid in installing (seating) parts correctly.
These positive retention items do not require tools.
Error handling and reporting: In the unlikely event of system hardware or
environmentally induced failure, the system run-time error capture capability
systematically analyzes the hardware error signature to determine the cause of
failure. The analysis result will be stored in system NVRAM. When the system can
be successfully restarted either manually or automatically, the error will be reported
to the AIX or Linux operating system. Error Log Analysis (ELA) can be used to
display the failure cause and the physical location of the failing hardware. With the
integrated Service Processor, the system has the ability to automatically send out
an alert via phone line to a pager or call for service in the event of a critical system
failure. A hardware fault will also turn on the System Attention indicator located
on the system unit to alert the user of an internal hardware problem. The indicator
may also be turned on by the operator as a tool to allow system identification.
For identification, the indicator will flash, whereas the indicator will be on solid
when an error condition occurs. On POWER6 processor-based servers running
the AIX or Linux operating systems, hardware and software failures are recorded
in the system log. When an HMC is attached, an ELA routine analyzes the error,
forwards the event to the Service Focal Point (SFP) application running on the
HMC, and notifies the system administrator that it has isolated a likely cause of
the system problem. The Service Processor event log also records unrecoverable
checkstop conditions, forwards them to the SFP application, and notifies the system
administrator. Once the information is logged in the SFP application, if the system is
properly configured, a Call Home service request will be initiated and the pertinent
failure data with service parts information and part locations will be sent to an IBM
Service organization. Customer contact information and specific system-related
data such as the machine type, model, and serial number along with error log data
related to the failure are sent to IBM Service.
Service Processor: The Service Processor provides the capability to diagnose,
check the status of, and sense the operational conditions of a system. It runs on
its own power boundary and does not require resources from a system processor
to be operational to perform its tasks. The Service Processor supports surveillance
of the connection to the HMC and to the system firmware (Hypervisor). It also
provides several remote power control options, environmental monitoring, reset,
restart, remote maintenance, and diagnostic functions, including console mirroring.
The Service Processors menus (ASMI) can be accessed concurrently with system
operation allowing nondisruptive abilities to change system default parameters.
Service Agent: The Service Agent is available at no additional charge. When
installed, the Service Agent can enhance IBM's ability to provide the system with
maintenance service.
Call Home: Call Home refers to an automatic or manual call from a customer
location to IBM support structure with error log data, server status, or other
service-related information. Call Home invokes the service organization in order
for the appropriate service action to begin. Call Home can be done through HMC
or non-HMC managed systems. While configuring Call Home is optional, clients
are encouraged to implement this feature in order to obtain service enhancements
such as reduced problem determination and faster and potentially more accurate

transmittal of error information. In general, using the Call Home feature can result
in increased system availability.
IBM Electronics Services:Electronic Service Agent and the IBM Electronic
Services Web portal comprise the IBM Electronic Services solution--dedicated to
providing fast, exceptional support to IBM customers. IBM Electronic Service Agent
is a no-charge tool that proactively monitors and reports hardware events, such
as system errors, performance issues, and inventory. Electronic Service Agent
can help focus on the customer's company strategic business initiatives, save
time, and spend less effort managing day-to-day IT maintenance issues. Now
integrated in AIX V5.3 TL6 in addition to the HMC, Electronic Service Agent is
designed to automatically and electronically report system failures and customerperceived issues to IBM, which can result in faster problem resolution and increased
availability. System configuration and inventory information collected by Electronic
Service Agent also can be viewed on the secure Electronic Services Web portal, and
used to improve problem determination and resolution between the customer and
the IBM support team. As part of an increased focus to provide even better service
to IBM customers, Electronic Service Agent tool configuration and activation comes
standard with the system. In support of this effort, a new HMC External Connectivity
security whitepaper has been published, which describes data exchanges between
the HMC and the IBM Service Delivery Center (SDC) and the methods and protocols
for this exchange. To read the whitepaper and prepare for Electronic Service Agent
installation, go to the "Reference Guide" section of
TM

Benefits: Increase uptime:Electronic Service Agent is designed to enhance the
warranty and maintenance service by providing faster hardware error reporting and
uploading system information to IBM Support. This can optimize the time monitoring
the symptoms, diagnosing the error, and manually calling IBM Support to open a
problem record. 24x7 monitoring and reporting means no more dependency on
human intervention or off-hours customer personnel when errors are encountered in
the middle of the night.
Security:Electronic Service Agent is secure in monitoring, reporting, and storing
the data at IBM. Electronic Service Agent securely transmits via the Internet (HTTPS
or VPN) and can be configured to communicate securely through gateways to
provide customers a single point of exit from their site. Communication between
the customer and IBM only flows one way; activating Service Agent does not enable
IBM to call into a customer's system. System inventory information is stored in a
secure database, which is protected behind IBM firewalls. The customer's business
applications or business data is never transmitted to IBM.
More accurate reporting: Since system information and error logs are
automatically uploaded to the IBM Support Center in conjunction with the service
request, customers are not required to find and send system information, decreasing
the risk of misreported or misdiagnosed errors. Once inside IBM, problem error data
is run through a data knowledge management system and knowledge articles are
appended to the problem record.
Customized support: Using the IBM ID entered during activation, customers can
view system and support information in the "My Systems" and "Premium Search"
sections of the Electronic Services Web site. The Electronic Services Web portal is a
single Internet entry point that replaces the multiple entry points traditionally used
to access IBM Internet services and support. This Web portal enables you to gain
easier access to IBM resources for assistance in resolving technical problems. The
newly improved "My Systems" and "Premium Search" functions make it even easier
for Electronic Service Agent-enabled customers to track system inventory and find
pertinent fixes. "My Systems" provides valuable reports of installed hardware and
software using information collected from the systems by IBM Electronic Service
Agent. Reports are available for any system associated with the customer's IBM
ID. "Premium Search" combines the function of search and the value of Electronic
Service Agent information, providing advanced search of the technical support
knowledgebase. Using "Premium Search" and the Service Agent information that

has been collected from the system, customers are able to see search results that
apply specifically to their systems. For more information on how to utilize the power

RAID: Internal RAID is available on the IBM Smart Cube - 6840, 6841, and 6842.
Feature 5679 or 9482 is required for internal RAID. RAID also requires DASD
Backplane feature 8310 or 8345. Hardware RAID 0, 5, 6, and 10 are supported.
RAID 0 (minimum 2 disks) provides striping without parity for performance, but
does not offer any fault tolerance. The failure of a single drive will result in the loss
of all data on the array.
RAID 1 provides mirrored set (minimum 2 disks) without parity. Provides fault
tolerance from disk errors and single disk failure. Increased read performance
occurs when using a multi-threaded operating system that supports split seeks, very
small performance reduction when writing. Array continues to operate so long as at
least one drive is functioning.
RAID 5 (minimum 3 disks) uses block-level data striping with distributed parity.
RAID 5 stripes both data and parity information across three or more drives. Fault
tolerance is maintained by ensuring that the parity information for any given block
of data is placed on a drive separate from those used to store the data itself.
RAID 6 (minimum 4 disks) uses block-level data striping with dual distributed parity,
the same as RAID 5 except RAID 6 uses a second level of independently calculated
and distributed parity information for additional fault tolerance. This extra fault
tolerance provides data security in the event two drives fail before a drive can be

replaced. RAID 6 requires N+2 drives to accommodate the additional parity data,
which makes it less cost-effective than RAID 5 for equivalent storage capacity.
RAID 10 is a combination of RAID 0 and RAID 1. In this type of implementation,
a RAID 0 stripe set of data is created across a two-disk array for performance
benefits. A duplicate of the first stripe is then mirrored on another two-disk array for
fault tolerance.

I/O drawers are connected to the adapters in the CEC with the following cables:
• Data transfer cables:
– RIO-2 attach cables for RIO-2 I/O drawers
IBM Europe, Middle East, and Africa
Hardware Announcement ZG09-0654
IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation
30
– 12X cables for 12X Channel I/O drawers
• Power control cables
RIO-2 I/O drawers and 12X channel I/O drawers may not be mixed in the same
remote I/O loop. Remote I/O drawer cable connections are always made in loops
to help protect against a single point-of-failure resulting from an open, missing, or
disconnected cable. A IBM Smart Cube - 6840, 6841, and 6842 system with nonlooped configurations could experience degraded performance and serviceability. If a
non-loop connection is detected, a problem is reported.
The first I/O drawer attached in any remote I/O drawer loop requires two data
transfer cables. Each additional drawer in the loop (up to the maximum allowed)
requires one additional data transfer cable.
The first I/O drawer attached to a host system requires two power control cables.
Each additional I/O drawer added to a host system requires one additional power
control cable. Each host system has one power control loop. All I/O drawers
attached to a system are included in the same power control loop. Power control
cable loops are different in this regard from data transfer cable loops.
Dual-Port 12X Channel Interface Adapter Options:
Dual-Port 12X Channel Attach Adapter (#6446): Use the short run adapter for
expansion I/O drawers located in close proximity to the host system or to other
drawers in the I/O expansion loop. This adapter does not include signal repeaters.
Dual-Port 12X Channel Attach Adapter (#6457): Use the long run adapter for
expansion I/O drawers located farther from the host system or other I/O drawers in
the I/O expansion loop. This adapter includes signal repeaters to accommodate the
longer cable lengths.
12X Cable Choice:
Each 5796 drawer requires one Dual-Port 12X Channel Adapter, either Short Run
(#6446) or Long Run (#6457). The choice of adapters is dependent on the distance
to the next 12X Channel connection in the loop, either to another I/O drawer or the
host system. The following table identifies the supported cable lengths for each 12X
Channel adapter. I/O drawers containing the Short Run adapter can be mixed in a
single loop with I/O drawers containing the Long Run adapter. In this table, a "Yes"
indicates that the 12X cable identified in that column can be used to connect the
drawer configuration identified to the left. A "No" means it cannot be used.

Note (1): The 0.6M and 1.5M 12X cables (#1829/#1830) has very limited use due
to its short length. It cannot be used to connect to a system drawer because of the
short length. It is intended for use between two 5796 drawers mounted side by
side in the same enclosure (#7314). It can also be used to connect between two
modules located one beneath the other in a 7014 rack.
Note (2): It is possible in some limited configurations to use the 3.0 M, 12X cable
(#1840) to locate 5796 modules in adjacent racks. The cable length requires
careful management of the each drawer location within the rack. The best choice for
connecting a G30 I/O Drawer in an adjacent rack is the 8.0 M, 12X cable (#1834).
Note (3): The 8M 12X cable (#1834) is intended for use when connecting between
two modules that are located in adjacent racks. This cable may not be connected to
the 12X Short Run adapter (#6446).
PCI card slots
The IBM Smart Cube - 6840, 6841, and 6842 has a maximum of five hot-plug PCIX/
PCIe slots.
• Slot 1 is a PCIe x8 2.5 GHz short-length slot. A GX+ slot shares this slot.
• Slot 2 is a PCIe x8 2.5 GHz short-length slot.
• Slot 3 is a PCIe x8 2.5 GHz full-length slot.
• Slots 4 and 5 are PCIX DDR 266 MHz full-length slots.
• A second GX++ slot is available with a 4-core configuration.
Note: Optional GX+ and GX++ adapters (RIO-G and IB) are used for external DASD
and I/O drawer and tower expansion.
Graphics adapters
• A graphics adapter, keyboard, and mouse are not required in the minimum
configuration.
• The maximum number of graphics adapters supported in the IBM Smart Cube 6840, 6841, and 6842 is four.
I/O adapters
• Feature codes 5613, 5679, and 9481 are not plugged into a slot.
• Refer to Figure 2 for additional I/O adapter limitations.
• The adapter installed in slot 1 must be short.
• A maximum of two of feature codes 1981, 1982, 5718, or 5719 are allowed in the
system.
• A maximum of two of features 5614 and 5616 is allowed in the system. Both
require a GX slot. Feature codes 5614 and 5616, or any other GX adapters, are
not available on a 1-core configuration (#9680).
Note: Feature code 5616 requires GFW (Global Firmware) 3.2 Service Pack 2.

IBM Electronic Services
IBM has transformed its delivery of hardware and software support services to
help you achieve higher system availability. Electronic Services is a Web-enabled
solution that offers an exclusive, no-additional-charge enhancement to the service
and support available for IBM servers. These services are designed to provide
the opportunity for greater system availability with faster problem resolution
and preemptive monitoring. Electronic Services comprises two separate, but
complementary, elements: Electronic Services news page and Electronic Services
Agent.
The Electronic Services news page is a single Internet entry point that replaces the
multiple entry points traditionally used to access IBM Internet services and support.
The news page enables you to gain easier access to IBM resources for assistance in
resolving technical problems.
The Electronic Service Agent is no-additional-charge software that resides on your
server. It monitors events and transmits system inventory information to IBM on
a periodic, client-defined timetable. The Electronic Service Agent automatically
reports hardware problems to IBM. Early knowledge about potential problems
enables IBM to deliver proactive service that may result in higher system availability
and performance. In addition, information collected through the Service Agent is
made available to IBM service support representatives when they help answer your
questions or diagnose problems. Installation and use of IBM Electronic Service Agent
for problem reporting enables IBM to provide better support and service for your
IBM server.
