1 GB of DDR-2 533 MHz ECC memory, expandable to 32 GB
Two DASD bays for 3.5-in disk drives
One slimline media bay:
- One DVD-ROM (default option, which can be deselected)
- One DVD-RAM (optional)
Note: Either a DVD-ROM or DVD-RAM is required in a minimum configuration.
Two PCI-X slots:
- 64-bit, 266 MHz (long)
- 64-bit, 266 MHz (low profile)
Integrated:
Environmental monitoring functions
- Temperature monitoring increases the fan speed rotation when ambient temperature is above the normaloperating range.
- Temperature monitoring warns the system administrator of potential environmental related-problems(for example, air conditioning and air circulation around the system) so that appropriate correctiveactions can be taken before a critical failure threshold is reached. It also performs an orderlysystem shutdown when the operating temperature exceeds the critical level.
- Fan speed monitoring provides a warning and an orderly system shutdown when the speed is out of theoperational specification.
- Voltage monitoring provides a warning and an orderly system shutdown when the voltages are out ofthe operational specification.
Error handling and reporting: In the unlikely event of system hardware or environmentally induced failure, run-time errorcapture analyzes the hardware error signature to determine the cause of failure. The analysis isstored in the system NVRAM. When the system can be successfully rebooted either manually orautomatically, the error is reported to the AIX or Linux operating system. ELA can be used todisplay the failure cause and the physical location of failing hardware.
With the integrated service processor, the system can automatically send out an alert via phone lineto a pager or call for service in the event of critical system failure. A hardware fault also turnson the two attention indicators (one located on the front of the system unit and the other on therear of the system) to alert the user of an internal hardware problem. The operator can also turnon the indicator to allow system identification. For identification, the indicators flash, but whenan error occurs, the indicator lights remain on.
Availability enhancement functions: The auto-restart (reboot) option, when enabled, can reboot the system automatically followingan unrecoverable software error, software hang, hardware failure, or environmentally induced (acpower) failure.
Serviceability: The System p5 505 server is designed for customer setup of the machine and for subsequentaddition of most features (adapters/devices). For a fee, IBM service can perform the installation.
- You can replace service parts. LEDs that indicate the parts that need to be replaced.
- Support personnel can remotely log into a system to review error logs and perform remotemaintenance. The service processor analyzes a system that will not boot.
- The diagnostics consist of stand-alone diagnostics, loaded from the DVD-ROM drive, and onlinediagnostics.
- Online diagnostics, when installed, are resident with the AIX operating system on the disk orsystem. They can be booted in single-user mode (service mode), run in maintenance mode, or runconcurrently (concurrent mode) with other applications. They have access to the AIX error log andthe AIX configuration data.
  - Service mode allows checking of system devices and features.
  - Concurrent mode allows the normal system functions to continue while selected resources are beingchecked.
  - Maintenance mode allows checking of most system resources.
- The System Management Services (SMS) error log is accessible from the SMS menu for tests performedthrough SMS programs. For results of service processor tests, access the error log from the serviceprocessor menu.
Service Agent: The Service Agent is available at no additional charge. When installed on a System p5 server,the Service Agent can improve the level of maintenance service from IBM.
The Service Agent:
- Monitors and analyzes system errors, and if needed, can automatically place a service call to IBMwithout customer intervention
- Can help reduce the effect of business disruptions due to unplanned system outages and failures
- Performs problem analysis on a subset of hardware-related problems and, with customer authorization,can report automatically the results to IBM service
Online customer support (OCS): System specialists can provide OCS for hardware problem reporting via remote login. TheElectronic Service Agent™ software can also be used.
Note: This RAS function is not supported under Linux.
AIX Support offerings will be under AIXSERV and Electronic Service Agent.

For information on features and external devices supported by Linux on the System p5 505 server,visit
Certain machine types that are supported on the System p5 505 serverrequire installation of specific I/O adapters. If those I/O adapters arenot supported by SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9 for POWER™, or later,or Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 4 for POWER, the external machine typescannot be ordered on the system. The configurator generates a validationerror and you must remove the external machine type from the initialorder.
Some functions are not available when you run Linux on the System p5 505server. Graphics adapter capability and support are limited.
Dynamic logical partitioning
Dynamic LPAR provides enhanced resource management for the System p5 505 server. It allowsavailable system resources to be quickly and easily configured across multiple logical partitions tomeet the rapidly changing needs of your business. Also, you can add new system resources into yoursystem's configuration without requiring a reboot. As many as two LPARs are supported in a 2-waySystem p5 505 server without the Advanced POWER Virtualization feature (#7432). If this feature isinstalled in the system, up to 10 dynamic LPARs per processor (20 per two-way processor card) aresupported in the stand-alone SMP server configuration.
Dynamic LPAR is supported by the following levels of the AIX^® and Linux operating systems:
- AIX 5L™ for POWER V5.2, or later
- SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9, or later
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 4 for POWER, or later
Advanced POWER Virtualization
With Advanced POWER Virtualization you can create partitions in units of less than 1 CPU (sub-CPULPARs) and you can virtually add the same system I/O to these partitions. The feature also includesa software component that provides cross-partition workload management.
New in this release of Advanced POWER Virtualization is the Integrated Virtualization Manager (IVM).IVM is a browser-based system management interface that you can use to manage a single systemwithout an HMC. Supported systems without an HMC that have the IBM Virtual I/O Server in a managedsystem can use IVM to create logical partitions on a single managed system, manage the virtualstorage and virtual Ethernet on the managed system, and view service information related to themanaged system. IVM is included at no additional charge as part of the optional Advanced POWERVirtualization.
Advanced POWER Virtualization combines three components:
- Firmware feature to turn on Micro-Partitioning™ technology
- Software feature for the I/O virtualization
- Software feature for partition load management
At initial order entry, select feature number 7432 to enable Micro-Partitioning technology duringmanufacturing. The enabling software media and publications will be shipped to you. When youorder feature number 7432 as an MES, an activation key is posted on an IBM Web site. You mustretrieve it and install it on the system. Visit
Other features of Advanced POWER Virtualization
- If any processors in a system have the Virtualization feature, all activeprocessors must have it.
- After the Virtualization feature is installed in a system, it cannot beremoved.
- Virtual Ethernet and Virtual Storage are part of Advanced POWERVirtualization.
- Partition Load Manager provides automated CPU and memory resourcemanagement across AIX 5L V5.2 or V5.3 logical partitions.
