Two SPCN ports

In addition, the p5-570 building block features two internal Ultra320 SCSI controllers,
redundant hot-swap power supply and redundant hot-swap cooling fans, and redundant
processor power regulators (FC 7875).

There is a CUoD card as part of the hardware configuration. This card stores VPD, and
processor information required for management of CUoD features. Since the p5-570 can
have processors in up to four physical building blocks, the card can be replaced or updated
by the IBM service representative to reflect hardware configuration changes.

The system supports 32-bit and 64-bit applications, and it requires specific levels of operating
system. (See 2.12, “Operating system requirements” on page 49.)

1.3.1 Processor card features

Each p5-570 building block can contain 2-way processor cards with state-of-the-art, 64-bit,
copper-based, POWER5 microprocessors running at 1.5 GHz, 1.65 GHz, or 1.9 GHz. The
processor cards running at 1.5 GHz support up to eight processors per combined system.
The 1.65 GHz and 1.9 GHz processor card features are available only as Capacity Upgrade
on Demand (CUoD). The initial order of the p5-570 system must contain the feature code
related to the desired processor card, plus it must contain the processor activation feature
code. The feature can be

no-additional-charge CUoD

(one processor no additional charge,

belonging to Value Pak options; see 1.4, “Value Paks” on page 11),

CUoD

(shipped from

manufacturing as activated, or for later activation of available non-activated processors),

reserve CoD

activation of prepaid processor, and

On/Off CoD

activation to use the On/Off

CoD capabilities. See 3.1, “Capacity on Demand” on page 52 for further details about CoD
activation concepts. Table 1-3 and Table 1-4 on page 5 contain all of the available feature
codes for processor cards that were available at the time of writing.

Table 1-3 Processor card feature codes

Table 1-4 Processor activation feature codes

Note: In a p5-570 combined system made of more than one building block, only the two
HMC ports and the two serial ports in the building block with the service processor are
available to use.

requires two entitlements. The entitlement features are available either full priced or no addi-
tional charge (when ordering in a Value Pak).
