Notes:
1. Available only as standard equipment in an IntelliStation workstation model or configured to order via
CTO.
2. See IntelliStation system At-A-Glance sections to identify models that include these standard video
adapters.
3. Requires more space than the planar provides between slots, preventing the installation of an optional
PCI adapter in the adjacent PCI slot.

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 6218-10Y is 6218-10U. See
the product-specific, Official IBM announcement letter for other country-specific GAV model numbers.
GAV to MTM mapping for the A.P. geography follows the same pattern. Substitute the last character with
a country-specific designator.
2. The IntelliStation M Pro 6218 supports up to 8 GB of PC2-4200 CL3 ECC DDR2 SDRAM DIMM memory.
To achieve maximum memory capacities, standard memory replacement may be required with the
currently supported memory DIMMs.
3. The ATI FireGL V7100 and 3DLabs Wildcat Realizm 800 require the external PCI Express power direct
from the power supply. Slot 1 will not be available when using the 3Dlabs Wildcat Realizm 800 graphics
adapter.
4. SAS Storage Controller is optional on the IntelliStation M Pro 6218. SCSI models require a SCSI controller
and cable, which are included with models that have a SCSI HDD installed. Mixed SATA and SAS, SATA
and SCSI; and SAS and SCSI HDDs configuration are not supported.
