Draft Document for Review October 18, 2004 5486m570.fm
See “High-speed link” on page 293 for information about supported HSL cables
and HSL loop maximums.
You can find further information in High-speed Link Loop Architecture for the IBM
Eserver iSeries Server: OS/400 Version 5 Release 2, REDP-3652, and the
HSL Rules presentation available at:

Model 570 PCI cards and features
The Model 570 is a Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI)-based technology
system. The number of PCI cards that can be supported in a Model 570 depends
on whether an I/O tower is attached and the number of PCI slots. PCI card
placement rules and LPAR configuration considerations also affect the number of
slots supported.
See the table on page 88 for the number of maximum features supported by the
total system and in the Model 570 system unit. See Chapter 17, “iSeries I/O
processors” on page 319, and Chapter 18, “iSeries I/O adapters and controllers”
on page 339, for full descriptions of the features that are supported. See “Not all
features are supported on all models. Some features may be withdrawn but are
in the table for reference. AIX specific adapters are not described in this book.” on
page 344 for the supported Linux Direct Attach features.
External towers
Migration towers are not supported on the Model 570. PCI towers are supported
with upgrades for migration only.
Refer to Chapter 15, “Towers, racks, and high-speed link” on page 259, for
information about supported towers for the Model 570, and “Summary of the
iSeries expansion units and towers” on page 105 for a table of configuration
maximums.
Note: The placement of PCI cards follows special rules. Refer to “PCI card
technology” on page 340 and PCI Card Placement Rules for the IBM
Eserver iSeries Server Version 5 Release 2, REDP-3638, before you
propose any configuration.
