XSERIES 225    

 Intel processor-based servers: Popular models: xSeries 225

The IBM xSeries 225 is packed with power to support environments such as file-and-print serving and distributed workgroup applications. Feature-rich and scalable up to two processors, this server offers new levels of redundancy and availability at prices you can afford.

The X225 has been replaced by the X226 server, part numbers below may no longer be available)

Please read for all new 8649xx models (Non Chip-Kill base memory and use the ServerRaid 6i )
New models of our Xeon DP systems are offered due to memory technology changes in capacity and density. To maintain adequate supply through 2004, IBM xSeries is making this transition on 256 MB memory DIMMs — transitioning models to a 256-Mb-based component. Chipkillâ„¢ will no longer be supported on 256 MB DIMMs. The previously offered Chipkill feature on the 256 MB memory DIMMs will be available only on a limited basis, via special bid. Chipkill requires all 512MB or higher x4 DIMMs to be installed

ServerRAID Adapters: The dual-channel, Ultra320 integrated controller supports both Ultra160 and Ultra320 HDDs, but the entire SCSI bus will default to the slower rate (MB/second) if HDDs of different technologies are mixed on the same bus. The LSI chipset allows for two HDDs to be allocated for mirroring if a RAID adapter is not installed. One additional HDD may be designated as a hot-spare for HDDs configured in the onboard mirror. Mirrored and hot-spare HDDs must be matched.

Note 1.ServeRAID-5i not available for x225 machine type 8649. ServeRAID-6i or 6i+ not available for x225 machine type 8647. Use 6i on type 8649 and 5i on type 8647

Non Hot-Swap Hard drives: nonhot-swap models are cabled internally with a four-drop, 16-bit wide Ultra320 SCSI cable with a built-in active terminator at one end of the cable. The other end of the cable is attached to the internal 68-pin connector of channel A of the integrated Ultra320 SCSI controller. SCSI HDDs can be connected to any of the
four cable connectors.

Hot-Swap 80pin (U320) 10K : hot-swap models are cabled internally with a single-drop, nonterminated 16-bit wide Ultra320 SCSI cable. One end is connected to the internal 68-pin connector of channel A of the integrated Ultra320 SCSI controller and the other end to the hot-swap backplane, which provides termination for the SCSI bus.
