    Product Description

    5609-8204 – IBM i Model E8A GX Dual-port 12X Channel Attach

    IBM i Power 6, 8204 (#5609) GX Dual-port 12X Channel Attach

    GX Dual-port -12X Channel Adapter, provides two 12X connections for 12X Channel applications. This adapter allows the attachment of I/O Drawers designed for the 12X Channel. The adapter plugs into a GX++ bus slot in a system enclosure. The 12X Channel is connected in a loop and uses both connectors on the adapter. Up to four I/O Drawers can be attached in a single loop. This adapter must be used with the 12X cables. The #5609 adapter provides up to twice the data rate capability as the #5616 12X adapter.

    Connection to supported InfiniBand switches is accomplished by using the 12x to 4x Channel Conversion Cables, #1828, #1841, #1842 or #1854. The connection using the #1842 cable is limited to the base ports of the InfiniBand switches.

    This feature is used to attach the #5802 PCIe 12 X I/O Drawer to the 8203-E4A and 8204-E8A.

    Attributes provided: Two DDR capable 12X channel remote I/O ports

    Attributes required: Available GX++ slot

    PCI adapter slot priorities for the 8233-E8B

    Some adapters must be placed in specific Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI), Peripheral Component Interconnect-X (PCI-X), or PCI Express (PCIe) slots to function correctly or to perform optimally. Use this information to determine where to install PCI adapters.

    PCI slot descriptions

    Figure 1. Rear view of system with location codes. Table 1 shows the rear view of the system with the location codes for the PCI and GX adapter slots.

    Rear view of system with location codes
    Table 1. PCI slot locations and descriptions. This table describes the slots. Each PCI-X DDR or PCIe slot is a separate PCI host bridge (PHB).
    Slot number Location code Description PHB Adapter size
    Slot 1 P1-C1 PCIe x8 PCIe PHB0 Short
    P1-C7 GX++
    Slot 2 P1-C2 PCIe x8 PCIe PHB1 Short
    P1-C8 GX+
    Slot 3 P1-C3 PCIe x8 PCIe PHB3 Long
    Slot 4 P1-C4 PCI-X DDR, 64-bit, 266 MHz PCI-X PHB0 Long
    Slot 5 P1-C5 PCI-X DDR, 64-bit, 266 MHz PCI-X PHB1 Long
    • Slot 1 can be used for either a PCIe x8 adapter in slot P1-C1, or a GX+ adapter in slot P1-C7.

      P1-C7 is not active on a single processor card system.

      P1-C7 provides higher bandwidth for a GX adapter than P1-C8. Use P1-C7 for the higher performance GX adapter or where the highest aggregate bandwidth is needed.

    • Slot 2 can be used for either a PCIe x8 adapter in connector P1-C2, or a GX+ adapter in connector P1-C8.
    • All slots support enhanced error handling (EEH).

    PCI and PCI-X expansion units

    I/O expansion units are used to increase the maximum number of adapters that the 8233-E8B server can support. The feature 5796 Expansion unit is supported on systems running AIX® or Linux operating systems. The system can be configured to support up to eight I/O expansion units.

    Note: For optimum performance, you must limit the total number of expansion units containing high-bandwidth and extra-high bandwidth adapters. See Performance notes.

    5796 expansion units attach to a GX adapter installed in one or both of the two GX slots available in the system unit. A single processor system supports one 12X Channel Adapter with up to 4 drawers attached. A two processor or larger system supports two GX Adapters, with up to 4 drawers attached to each GX adapter.

    PCIe expansion units

    PCIe expansion units 5802 and 5877 are supported on the system running AIX, IBM® i, or Linux operating systems. The system can be configured to support up to four I/O expansion units.

    Restriction: A single GX adapter that connects one, two, or both of the 5802 or 5877 expansion units cannot have anything else connected to that adapter.
    Note: For optimum performance, you must limit the total number of expansion units containing high-bandwidth and extra-high bandwidth adapters. See Performance notes.

    The expansion units attach to a GX adapter installed in one or both of the two GX slots available in the system unit.

    • A single processor system supports one GX adapter with up to two drawers attached.
    • A 2 – 4 processor system supports two GX adapters, with up to two drawers attached to each adapter for a total of four drawers.

    Maximum number of supported adapters

    The 8233-E8B server supports up to four POWER7® processor cards with 8-core, 16-core, 24-core and 32-core configurations. Unless otherwise noted in the tables that follow this list, the maximum number of adapters allowed are shown in this list:

    • One processor system:
      • No I/O expansion unit: 3 PCIe and 2 PCI-X DDR
      • System with four 5796 I/O expansion units: 2 PCIe and 26 PCI-X DDR
      • System with two 5802 or 5877 expansion units: 22 PCIe and 2 PCI-X DDR
    • Two to four processor system:
      • No I/O expansion unit: 3 PCIe and 2 PCI-X DDR
      • System with eight 5796 I/O expansion units: 1 PCIe and 50 PCI-X DDR
      • System with four 5802 or 5877 expansion units: 41 PCIe and 2 PCI-X DDR
    Note: For optimum performance, you must limit the total number of expansion units containing high-bandwidth and extra-high bandwidth adapters. See Performance notes.
