 IBM
iSeries Model 870 is an outstanding server which can run applications in
multiple operating environments simultaneously. The 870 server has performance
and functional characteristics capable of running the widest range of
application workloads including e-business, WebSphere, Java, Linux,
client-server, ported UNIX, and Domino, as well as on-line transaction
processing (OLTP).
If additional capacity is required, upgrades to the mainframe class iSeries
Model 890 are available.
The Model 870 can be installed in general office environments, but most
customers will choose to locate the unit and its I/O in a separate area with
appropriate electrical and air conditioning supplies. The 870 consists of two
physical enclosures. A large/tall enclosure and a smaller enclosure. The tall
enclosure contains the processors, memory and HSL attachments and is called the
system unit. The smaller enclosure contains PCI slots and disk drives and is
called the base I/O tower.
The 870 system unit is 2025mm tall, 1494mm deep, and 785mm wide. Or in inches,
it is 79.7in tall, 58.8in deep, and 30.9in wide. These dimensions do not include
the base I/O tower or any optional I/O towers or external I/O. The Model 870 has
space for up to 45 disk drives in the base I/O tower without using an optional
I/O tower. Up to 47 optional I/O towers can be attached via High Speed Link
(HSL) loops providing space for up to 2047 disk drives and up to 672 PCI slots.
