Attention
Attention:
A four-digit feature code is used to specify a component that is configurable in the IBM configurators, the eBusiness Configurator (eConfig) and the IBM Web-based Hardware Configurator, used in US and Canada. Options that do not have feature codes cannot be integrated by IBM into a system using these IBM configurators. To purchase options separately, refer to the option part number provided in this document.

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 8843-01Y is 8843-01U. 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 a country-specific
    designator.
  2. Withdrawal dates are provided for U.S. and Canada only. Business
    Partner Inventory may be available.
  3. AMD Dual-Core Opteron processor with two 1MB L2 Cache, provides
    three high-performance HyperTransport links to I/O, as well as a
    128-bit high-performance DDR-2 SDRAM memory controller.
  4. Memory subsystem is two-way interleaved, Very Low Profile (VLP)
    DDR-2 SDRAMMs supporting chip kill technology. Each Opteron processor
    contains the memory controller responsible for four DIMMs.
  5. Integrated Service Processor subsystem supports features
    which include monitoring the LS41 systems management activity as well
    as communicating with the management module in the BladeCenter.
  6. Dual Broadcom BCM5706S TOE-enabled Gigabit Ethernet Controllers
    on the base board and Dual Broadcom BCM5708S TOE-enabled Gigabit
    Ethernet Controllers on the multiprocessor expansion unit.
  7. An integrated LSI 1064 SAS Controller on the Base Processor Blade
    to provide support for two SAS Hard Disk Drives, located on the Base
    Processor Blade and in the Multiprocessor Expansion Blade.
  8. Maximum internal storage capacity is based on installation of two
    73GB SAS HDD.
  9. An optional BladeCenter expansion unit is available that attaches
    directly to the blade server adding three hot-swap SAS HDD bays for a
    total of five HDD bays and two expansion card slots for a total of four
    expansion card slots.
  10. For maximum capacity, an optional Multiprocessor Expansion Blade
    can attach directly to the base blade server to add support for two
    additional AMD Opteron processors, eight memory DIMMs, one additional
    SAS HDD, one legacy expansion card slot, and one blade expansion connector,
    which supports high speed expansion cards or an optional expansion unit.
  11. The Multiprocessor Expansion Blade (P/N 25K5934) is a standard
    component attached directly to the base blade server for maximum
    capacity. It adds support for two additional AMD Opteron processors,
    eight memory DIMMs, one additional SAS HDD, one legacy expansion
    card slot, and one blade expansion connector which supports high
    speed expansion cards or an optional expansion unit.
