1,000,000,000,000 bytes, respectively, when referring to 
storage capacity. Accessible capacity is less; up to 3GB is 
used in service partition. Actual storage capacity will vary 
based upon many factors and may be less than stated. 

Performance is in Internal Throughput Rate (ITR) ratio based 
on measurements and projections using standard IBM 
benchmarks in a controlled environment. The actual 
throughput that any user will experience will depend on 
considerations such as the amount of multiprogramming in the 
user’s job stream, the I/O configuration, the storage 
configuration and the workload processed. Therefore, no 
assurance can be given that an individual user will achieve 
throughput improvements equivalent to the performance ratios 
stated here. 

Maximum internal hard disk and memory capacities may 
require the replacement of any standard hard drives and/or 
memory and the population of all hard disk bays and memory 
slots with the largest currently supported drives available. 
When referring to variable speed CD-ROMs, CD-Rs, CD-RWs 
and DVDs, actual playback speed will vary and is often less 
than the maximum possible.
