Only $1800 for #5610

$450 per slot Plus zero additional rack space $1245 per slot plus maint Plus 4 EIA rack space
Compare to #5877 12X PCIe I/O drawer at $9900 + GX adapter at $1750 + two 12X cables at $800 + #5877 maint
Note that 4-core Power 720 can not attach a 12X I/O drawer, but can use #5610 PCIe Riser Card

PCIe Low Profile vs Full High Adapters Full High/Full Height Low Profile
Full High/Full Height
Important planning point --- order the right adapter Low profile adapters required for low profile slots (A) Full high adapters required for full high slots (B or C) Can not convert a LP adapter to a FH adapter, even if card surface area is the same (AB or BA)
Tailstock replacement not offered
As of 2H 2010, LP slots found in Power 710/730 and optionally in the Power 720/740 system unit. All other PCIe slots in POWER6 system units, Power 750/755/770/780 system unit, or #5802/5877/5803/5877 PCIe I/O drawers are FH slots.

Power 520 to Power 720 Upgrade Economics

520 2/4-core 8203-E4A 720 6/8-core 8202-E4B
720 upgrade economics differ from Power 570 to 770/780 or Power 595 to 795 upgrade economics
770/780/795 upgrades have hardware & activation trade-in value resulting in lower hardware purchase price POWER5 520 to POWER6 520 do not have hardware/activation savings -- savings is in the licensing
POWER6 520 to POWER7 720 Upgrades

Like POWER5 520 to POWER6 520 upgrades, no hardware/activation savings -- savings is in the licensing Get same 50% no-charge processor core activations as IBM Edition if qualify All 8203 2/4-core systems eligible to do upgrades. IBM i clients probably most interested due to IBM licensing transfer rules Warranty handled just like normal upgrades with the exception that the 720 has 3 year warranty and the 8203-E4A has 1 year warranty. On the upgrade 720 would receive two years warranty in addition to any of the 8203 1 year warranty remaining.

Can mix PCIe and PCI-X Crypto adapter in same IBM i partition Can not mix PCIe and PCI-X Crypto adapters in same AIX partition (Can mix on same system) For clients with banking, credit card, or finance applications especially those who want hardware designed to meet FIPS 140-2 level 4 security
Pricing in USA is higher for PCIe vs PCI-X, but justified by higher performance and potential for using fewer PCIe adapters

New Product: IBM 7042-CR6 Rack-Mounted HMC
1U rack-mount HMC
2.53 GHz quad-core Xeon CPU 4GB memory 500GB hard drive
4 built-in Ethernet ports 1 PCIe & 1 PCI-X slot DVD-RAM
Supports all POWER5, POWER6 and POWER7 servers

Except Blades
Available September 2010 Shipped with MLC V7R720 Normal refresh of HMC technology follow on to 7042-CR5
Pricing of CR6 same USA list price Can provide more performance over previous models, especially under heavy HMC workloads
Note: No new deskside HMC models are planned to be announced. Will focus on the much more popular rack-mount HMC

#6312 Quad Digital Trunk Telephony PCI Adapter
If your POWER5 or POWER6 system uses this DTTA and may need additional adapters for future growth -- ORDER NOW This PCI-X adapter being withdrawn from marketing & there is no PCIe follow on.
Announced withdrawal 2010 July Withdrawal effective 2010 November After November use Order Withdrawn Products Process assuming any supply is left
For the past year or so, usage of this adapter controlled via RPQ #8A1766 to best use the limited supply of adapters and 7311-D20 I/O drawer RPQ being withdrawn to ease ordering of remaining inventory 6312 7311-D20 is already withdrawn from marketing Strategic follow on product is WebSphere Voice Systems #6312 not supported on POWER7 servers
