High performance, availability and durability

Highlights

All the server you’ll ever need

The IBM ^ pSeries 640 is a

cost-effective, high performance UNIX

server in a compact rack-mountable

chassis. This rugged system is

ideal for environments where high

density, rapid horizontal growth and

leading-edge UNIX performance

are critical such as e-commerce,

ISP/ASP, telco/wireless, and scientific

computing or as a departmental

server for medium-size businesses.

The p640 is one tough server, rugged

enough to be placed in harsh environ-

ments like the plant floor. You may

never need all of its features, but it’s

nice to know that they are there.

High density, rack-optimized

performance

The pSeries 640 SMP can have up

to four state-of-the-art 64-bit, copper-

based POWER3-II microprocessors

running at 375 MHz. Each processor

includes 4MB of Level 2 (L2) cache.

A two- or four-way system is optionally

available with 8MB of L2 cache

per processor, offering still greater

performance in many applications.

Up to four state-of-the-art

64-bit POWER3-II processors

with unique copper-based tech-

nology for high performance

and reliability

Manage systems from anywhere

via wireless devices such as a

Palm Pilot

Multiple redundant power

options include 110v/220v AC or

-48v DC NEBS Level 3 compliant

AIX ,

recognized as the leading

commercial UNIX

operating

system

, is included

Powerful symmetric multi-

processing (SMP) e-business

server optimized for high

density environments

Rugged, space-saving

rack-mount, slide-in

chassis b uilt for availability,

maintainability and ease-

of-use

Offers internal upgrade paths

and horizontal scaling options

to meet rapidly changing

capacity demands

IBM pSeries 640

The base 256MB of main memory

can be expanded to 16GB for faster

performance and exploitation of

64-bit addressing capability as used

in large database applications.

The p640 5Ux19" standard rack

drawer is 24" deep and contains five

bays, one of which is used for a

5.25" SCSI CD-ROM or tape drive.

The remaining four front-accessible,

hot-swappable bays can accommo-

date up to 145.6GB of disk storage;

a 9.1GB Ultra SCSI drive is included

in the base configuration. Five PCI

slots are featured, along with an inte-

grated 10/100 Ethernet controller

with two ports, internal and external

Ultra2 SCSI controllers and a serv-

ice processor.

Multiple pSeries 640 drawers may be

installed in standard IBM racks, includ-

ing the RS/6000

Model T00. These

racks may also house I/O disk storage

such as the IBM 2104 Expandable

Storage Plus (Ultra3 SCSI) and IBM

7133 Serial Disk System (SSA) to

provide terabytes of highly reliable,

hot-swappable external storage.

Innovative monitoring

and management

The pSeries 640 offers a number

of important features designed to

simplify the task of managing large

“server farms.” In these environments,

high density packaging is becoming

a critical business success factor.

Multiple racks filled with servers make

the monitoring and management of

these systems more complex.

The p640 is designed from the ground

up for ease of maintenance. The four

hot-swappable disk drive bays are

accessible from the front panel. All

critical indicators are mounted on

both front and back bezels. In addition,

a programmable alarm beacon light

is available to make it easy to locate

a particular system in a server farm.

The pSeries 640 takes advantage of

the power of pervasive computing. A

built-in, front-accessible serial inter-

face for handheld devices such as the

IBM WorkPad

or wireless Palm Pilot

enables rapid application deployment

and performance monitoring, through

specialized IBM no-charge software.

Online, all the time . ..by design

To help ensure that strategic appli-

cations remain available 24x7, the

pSeries 640 features an integrated

service processor that is designed

to constantly monitor the system’s

vital signs. In the event of a malfunc-

tion, the service processor is capable

of “calling home” by automatically

dialing out to an IBM service center,

often before any problem is apparent

to users or system administrators.

A service technician can use remote

maintenance and diagnostics–

including console mirroring from a

remote site to correct the problem

and reboot and restore system func-

tion as soon as possible after an

outage. Should downtime occur, the

pSeries 640 has fault and error cor-

rection functions–such as machine

check handling, reboot recovery,

PCI fault isolation and service proces-

sor error collection–to help speed

system recovery.

A unique availability feature of the

pSeries 640 is Dynamic CPU

Deallocation. In the unlikely event

a processor indicates an impending

failure, this feature, working in con-

junction with AIX, is designed to

take the failing processor offline.

Workload from the failing processor

is automatically reassigned to other

processors. And replacement of the

failing processor can be scheduled

during normal services.

Additional reliability and availability

features that are integral to the design

of the pSeries 640 are redundant

hot-plug cooling and power supplies

that may be replaced without affect-

ing system operations. In addition, a

temperature-monitoring capability

increases the fan speed in response
