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 4251-C2Y is 4251-C2U. 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. Simple-Swap models do not have RAID capability. RAID support for simple-swap models can be obtained through option ServeRAID-BR10il SAS/SATA controller kit (part no. 49Y4731)
  3. LC abbreviation indicates that the US models ship standard with a line cord.
    Models without line cords will be indicated with a hyphen.
  4. Mini-baseboard management controller / IPMI 2.0
  5. Withdrawal dates are provided for U.S. and Canada only. Business
    Partner Inventory may be available.
