Power and cabling information for NEBS (Network Equipment-Building System)
GR-1089-CORE
The following comments apply to the IBM servers that have been designated as conforming to NEBS
(Network Equipment-Building System) GR-1089-CORE:
The equipment is suitable for installation in the following:
vNetwork telecommunications facilities
vLocations where the NEC (National Electrical Code) applies
The intrabuilding ports of this equipment are suitable for connection to intrabuilding or unexposed
wiring or cabling only. The intrabuilding ports of this equipment must not be metallically connected to the
interfaces that connect to the OSP (outside plant) or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as
intrabuilding interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE) and require isolation
from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of primary protectors is not sufficient protection to connect
these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.
Note: All Ethernet cables must be shielded and grounded at both ends.
The ac-powered system does not require the use of an external surge protection device (SPD).
The dc-powered system employs an isolated DC return (DC-I) design. The DC battery return terminal
shall not be connected to the chassis or frame ground.

Chapter 2. Supported PCI adapters
Learn about PCI, PCI-X and PCI Express (PCIe) adapters that are supported on IBM Power Systems
models that contain the POWER6™processor, and their associated I/O expansion units.
This topic contains reference information that information technology (IT) personnel and service
representatives can use in determining where to place Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) adapters
in the following IBM Power Systems®servers and their associated I/O expansion units: 8203-E4A,
8204-E8A, 8234-EMA, 9117-MMA, 9119-FHA, and 9125-F2A.
A separate publication, the PCI adapter placement for machine type 94xx, covers the following models
and their associated I/O expansions units: 9406-MMA, 9407-M15, 9408-M25, and 9409-M50.
Adapters supported on AIX, IBM i, and Linux
Table 1 and Table 2 on page 13 list adapters supported on the AIX®, IBM i, and Linux®operating systems.
Not all adapters are supported on all operating systems. Exceptions are noted in the Description column.
Important:
vNot all adapters are supported on all system configurations. This document does not replace the latest
sales and marketing publications and tools that document supported features.
vBefore adding or rearranging adapters, use the System Planning Tool to validate the new adapter
configuration. See the System Planning Tool Web site at
http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/support/tools/systemplanningtool/ .
vIf you are installing a new feature, ensure that you have the software required to support the new
feature and determine whether there are any existing PTF prerequisites to install. To do this, use the
IBM Prerequisite Web site at http://www-912.ibm.com/e_dir/eServerPrereq.nsf .
IBM i operating system configuration notes:
vIOP adapters are listed in Table 52 on page 98.
vIBM i specific placement guidelines are covered in Chapter 10, “Determining the best place to install
your adapter,” on page 97.

and 575B
5780/571F
and 575B
5782/571F
and 575B
PCI-X Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI RAID Adapter with Auxiliary Write Cache (double-wide)
vLong, 64-bit, 3.3V, 266 MHz
vOS support: i operating system
vDual-mode capable adapter
vExtra-high bandwidth
vDouble-wide adapter, requires two, adjacent slots. The SCSI controller side of the adapter pair
requires a 64-bit slot. (The controller side is the side with the external SCSI connectors.)
vWhen used in a logical partition (LPAR) environment, this double-wide adapter must have
both slots of the adapter assigned to the same logical partition. When using DLPAR, both slots
of the adapter must be managed together.
vBecause of the complexity of this adapter, concurrent maintenance is not supported through
the HMC. Concurrent maintenance must be done from the Hardware Service Manager (HSM).
vFor more information about this adapter and slot restrictions, see “SCSI RAID controller
placement restrictions for IBM i” on page 100 and “High-performance SCSI, disk controller
placement for IBM i” on page 101.
