14 IBM BladeCenter PS700, PS701, and PS702 Technical Overview and Introduction
1.2.2 Number of PS700, PS701, and PS702 blades in a chassis
The number of POWER7 processor based blades that can be installed in a BladeCenter
chassis depends on several factors:
BladeCenter chassis type
Number of power supplies installed
Power supply voltage option (BladeCenter S only)
BladeCenter power domain configuration
Table 1-3 shows the maximum number of PS700, PS701, and PS702 blades running in a
maximum configuration (memory, disk, expansion cards) for each supported BladeCenter
chassis that can be installed with fully redundant power and without performance reduction.
IBM blades that are based on processor types other than POWER7 might reduce these
numbers.
Table 1-3 PS700, PS701, and PS702 blades per chassis type
When mixing blades of different processor types in the same BladeCenter, the BladeCenter
Power Configurator tool helps determine if the combination desired is valid. It is expected that
this tool will be updated to include the PS700, PS701, and PS702 blade configurations. For
more information about this update, see the following Web page:
