IBM IntelliStation POWER 285 Technical Overview and Introduction
Six PCI-X slots (three long and three short slots):
– Three hot-swap 133 MHz 64-bit PCI-X slots
– Two hot-swap 66 MHz 32-bit PCI-X slots
– One hot-swap DDR 266 MHz 64-bit PCI-X slot
Two slim-line media bays for optional storage devices
One half-high bay for an optional tape device
The IntelliStation POWER 285 system, including the service processor described in 3.2.1,
“Service processor” on page 33, supports the following native ports:
Two 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports
Two system ports (serial)
Two USB 2.0 ports
An optional external USB diskette drive 1.44 (FC 2591)
Two HMC ports
In addition, the IntelliStation POWER 285 system features one internal Ultra320 SCSI
dual-channel controller, redundant cooling fans, and a power supply.
The system supports 32-bit and 64-bit applications and requires a specific level of operating
system. See 2.8, “Operating system requirements” on page 24 for more information.
1.4.1 Processor features
The IntelliStation POWER 285 is available in a 1-core or 2-core configurations using
state-of-the-art, 64-bit, copper-based microprocessors running at 1.9 GHz or 2.1
GHz, both with 36 MB of L3 cache. The initial order of the IntelliStation POWER 285 system
must contain the feature code of the desired number of processors, plus it must contain the
processor activation code. For a list of available processor and activation features, see
Table 1-3 and Table 1-4. IBM Capacity on Demand is not available on the IntelliStation
POWER 285.
