Product Description
IBM 520 Power5 * Custom Build* 0900, 0901, 0902, and 0903
Customize your legacy IBM mid-range solution with the IBM iSeries Model 9406-520 Power5 Custom Build, offering flexible processor options via feature codes 0900, 0901, 0902, and 0903. This Power5-based server supports a range of performance levels for interactive and batch workloads in OS/400 or IBM i environments. Base system includes DVD-ROM, Twinax connectivity, base 2-line WAN with modem, and base IOP for essential connectivity and operations. Configurations allow selection of processor to match required CPW capacity in P05 or P10 software tiers.
Available processor choices deliver scalable performance on 1.5 GHz POWER5 single-core technology:
- 0900: 600 CPW (P05 tier) – entry-level capacity
- 0901: 1000 CPW (P10 tier) – balanced performance
- 0902: 1000 CPW (P10 tier) – standard mid-range
- 0903: 2400 CPW (P10 tier) – higher throughput
Systems are typically equipped with DDR2 memory (starting from 1 GB, expandable to 32 GB), SCSI DASD with RAID support (minimum 2 drives), integrated Ethernet, DVD ROM, tape options, and communication adapters. The system unit provides disk slots for growth (minimum 2 drives required). This custom build approach enables tailored configurations for legacy AS/400 iSeries maintenance, application support, and cost-effective upgrades.
This package supports organizations preserving reliable IBM iSeries platforms, with options to specify processor and add compatible memory, storage, and adapters.
