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
    8853-L1Y is 8853-L1U. See the product-specific Official
    IBM announcement letter for other country-specific GAV
    model numbers. GAV to MTM mapping for AP 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. Maximum capacity requires replacing the standard DIMMs.
    Memory-mirroring, hot-spare memory and Chipkill functions
    are supported.
  4. System management functionality, interconnect network
    connectivity and console connectivity are managed through
    the standard management module. The standard integrated
    service processor monitors HS21 - (8853) system management
    activity, communicating with the management module in the
    BladeCenter.
  5. Dual Broadcom 5708S Gb Ethernet controllers.
  6. An integrated, single-channel, SAS controller supports
    integrated RAID-0 and 1. RAID-1E and 5 requires the optional
    BladeCenter Storage and I/O Expansion Blade.
  7. Maximum internal storage capacity is based on installation
    of two 146GB SAS HDDs.
  8. An optional BladeCenter Storage and I/O Expansion Blade
    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 adds expansion card slot capacity for a total of
    three expansion card slots.
  9. Maximum capacity is achieved by populating all four DIMM
    slots with four, 4GB DIMMs and selecting the IBM BladeCenter
    Memory and I/O Expansion Blade (42C1600) which adds an
    additional four DIMM slots and three I/O expansion card slots,
    providing a total of eight 4GB DIMMs and three I/O expansion
    card slots. Dual-port Broadcom 5714S Gb Ethernet controller.
    These configurations have a total of four Gb ethernet ports.
