Notes:

  1. Model numbers provided are worldwide generally available
    variant (GAV) model numbers which are not orderable as
    listed and need to be modified by country. The U.S. GAV
    model numbers use the following nomenclature: xxU.
    For example, the U.S. orderable part number for 7946-12Y
    is 7946-12U. See the product specific Official IBM
    announcement letter for other country-specific GAV model
    numbers. GAV to MTM mapping for A.P. Geographies
    follow the same pattern. Substitute the last character with
    the country-specific designator.
  2. Withdrawal dates are provided for U.S. and Canada only.
    Business Partner Inventory may be available.
  3. 2.5" SAS form factor
  4. LC abbreviation indicates that the US models ship standard with a line cord.
    Models without line cords will be indicated with a hyphen.
