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 8863-1RY is 8863-1RU. 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. Intel Xeon MP, 64-bit, up to 3.66GHz and 1MB L2 Cache on a
    667MHz dual front side bus architecture.
  4. High-speed, two-way interleaved PC2-3200 SDRAM. Maximum
    capacity requires replacing the standard DIMMs, when 4GB DIMMs
    become available.
  5. Memory-mirroring, hot-swap, hot-add and Chipkill functions
    are supported.
  6. See 'Power and Accessories' section for more information
    on the power supplies.
