Power 720 / 740 Memory RAS
Memory RAS FeaturesSupports Memory Scrubbing, 64-Byte Marking ECC and Chipkill.�Memory scrubbing corrects soft single bit errors in background while memory is idle preventing multiple bit errors.
�64-Byte Marking ECC code is able to detect and correct single bit mem-ory errors, which make up the majority of memory errors.
�Can also isolate a single chipkill to a bad DRAM chip.
Memory Channel RepairSpare lanes on memory channels are available Memory channel design provides CRC error checking capability. �Includes the ability to re-try a failed bus operation (new RAS feature) and to re-train the channel when excessive CRC errors are seen.
�Includes the ability to dynamically replace one of the bits on the bus (dynamic bit-lane sparing) based on a hardware detected error.

Power 770/780 Blind Swap Cassette (BSC)
New BSC for Power 770 and 780 Required for PCIe adapters in the processor enclosureEasier, more reliable connections,
� No lever to move PCIe card downward and into PCI co nnectionsEmpty PCIe slots in a processor enclosure “filled” with an empty BSC when shipped
from IBM Manufacturing. PCIe adapters when needed can be placed by a client in the empty BSC and then
inserted in the processor enclosureClients upgrading from POWER6 570 will have to “recassette” their PCIe cards when
moving from the 570 Gen3 BSC to the Gen4 BSCNo support for double width adapters ( SSD )

Cooling Domains
Air Flow Domain 1
Air Flow Domain 2
Fans (5)
Power Supply Fans(built-in)
Front Rear
POWER7 Modular supports Hot-Plug and Redundant cooling.There are five fans across the front of the box drawing in room air and is the primary cooling domain. �Cool the processors, memory and I/O sub-system.�TPMD controls this domain through the FSP. �Control algorithm uses the processor, memory and I/O subsystem temperatures as input for fan control.
Second cooling domain, that uses fans inside of each power supply�Cools the power supplies and DASD.�SPCN controls the fan speed on the power supplies.If the DASD/SSD cage is not installed, SPCN relinquishes control of the fans to the power supplies.
Power supplies control fan speed based on internal power supply temperatures.Fan redundancy is limited to 1 fan fault per domain.More than one failing fan in each domain will force a drawer shutdown.

New 177GB SSD: Configuration Details
Placement� Only in #5803 12X PCIe I/O Drawer on Power 795
Controlled by� #5805/5903 380MB RAID SAS Adapter in the #5803
Configuration rules� Protection: same as HDD and other SSD. Must protect for IBM i. Highly recommended AIX/Linux/VIOS� Max 9 SSD per #5805/5903 pair� Max 18 SSD per #5803 in mode 2 using two pairs of #5805/5903 adapters � Max zero SSD in #5803 in mode 1� Max zero SSD in #5803 in mode 4 � Can not mix SSD and HDD on one pair of #5805/5903 adapters, but can mix SSD and HDD in the same #5803 in
mode 2 under different adapter pairs� Can mirror through the operating system the SAS-bay-based 177GB SSD against the PCIe-based 177GB SSD
(example #1775 & #1995)� Can not mix 69GB SSD and 177GB SSD in the same array, but can mix 69GB SSD and 177GB SSD on the same
pair of SAS adapters� A 177GB SSD can be the RAID hot spare for a 69GB SSD, but not vice versa
Performance / usable capacity insight� For best performance the #5805/5903 pair should run more than one array to take advantage of Active/Active
capability. This means that assuming RAID5 and 8 drives attached in two arrays, you get 6 drives capacity for the 8 physical drives. Or if RAID5 and 9 drives in two RAID5 arrays, you get seven drives of capacity.

Note these are drive specific measurements and projections which can vary from what you might experience. The values assume 528 byte sectors running RAID-0 with no protection. Hypothetically if measured with unsupported 512 byte sectors, values would be higher. The values are highly workload dependent. Factors such as read/write mix, random/non-random data, drive cache hits/misses, data compressibility in the drive controller, large/small block, type of RAID or mirroring protection, etc will change these values. These values produced by a server with plenty of processor, memory and controller resources to push this much I/O into the SSD. Most client system applications don’t push SSD nearly this hard.

The IBM benchmarks results shown herein were derived using particular, well configured, development-level and generally-available computer systems. Buyers should consult other sources of information to evaluate the performance of systems they are considering buying and should consider conducting application oriented testing. For additional information about the benchmarks, values and systems tested, contact your local IBM office or IBM authorized reseller or access the Web site of the benchmark consortium or benchmark vendor.
IBM benchmark results can be found in the IBM Power Systems Performance Report at http://www.ibm.com/systems/p/hardware/system_perf.html .
All performance measurements were made with AIX or AIX 5L operating systems unless otherwise indicated to have used Linux. For new and upgraded systems, AIX Version 4.3, AIX 5L or AIX 6 were used. All other systems used previous versions of AIX. The SPEC CPU2006, SPEC2000, LINPACK, and Technical Computing benchmarks were compiled using IBM's high performance C, C++, and FORTRAN compilers for AIX 5L and Linux. For new and upgraded systems, the latest versions of these compilers were used: XL C Enterprise Edition V7.0 for AIX, XL C/C++ Enterprise Edition V7.0 for AIX, XL FORTRAN Enterprise Edition V9.1 for AIX, XL C/C++ Advanced Edition V7.0 for Linux, and XL FORTRAN Advanced Edition V9.1 for Linux. The SPEC CPU95 (retired in 2000) tests used preprocessors, KAP 3.2 for FORTRAN and KAP/C 1.4.2 from Kuck & Associates and VAST-2 v4.01X8 from Pacific-Sierra Research. The preprocessors were purchased separately from these vendors. Other software packages like IBM ESSL for AIX, MASS for AIX and Kazushige Goto’s BLAS Library for Linux were also used in some benchmarks.

IBM benchmark results can be found in the IBM Power Systems Performance Report at http://www.ibm.com/systems/p/hardware/system_perf.html .
All performance measurements were made with AIX or AIX 5L operating systems unless otherwise indicated to have used Linux. For new and upgraded systems, AIX Version 4.3 or AIX 5L were used. All other systems used previous versions of AIX. The SPEC CPU2000, LINPACK, and Technical Computing benchmarks were compiled using IBM's high performance C, C++, and FORTRAN compilers for AIX 5L and Linux. For new and upgraded systems, the latest versions of these compilers were used: XL C Enterprise Edition V7.0 for AIX, XL C/C++ Enterprise Edition V7.0 for AIX, XL FORTRAN Enterprise Edition V9.1 for AIX, XL C/C++ Advanced Edition V7.0 for Linux, and XL FORTRAN Advanced Edition V9.1 for Linux. The SPEC CPU95 (retired in 2000) tests used preprocessors, KAP 3.2 for FORTRAN and KAP/C 1.4.2 from Kuck & Associates and VAST-2 v4.01X8 from Pacific-Sierra Research. The preprocessors were purchased separately from these vendors. Other software packages like IBM ESSL for AIX, MASS for AIX and Kazushige Goto’s BLAS Library for Linux were also used in some benchmarks.

Notes on performance estimates
rPerf for AIX
rPerf (Relative Performance) is an estimate of commercial processing performance relative to other IBM UNIX systems. It is derived from an IBM analytical model which uses characteristics from IBM internal workloads, TPC and SPEC benchmarks. The rPerf model is not intended to represent any specific public benchmark results and should not be reasonably used in that way. The model simulates some of the system operations such as CPU, cache and memory. However, the model does not simulate disk or network I/O operations.
rPerf estimates are calculated based on systems with the latest levels of AIX and other pertinent software at the time of system announcement. Actual performance will vary based on application and configuration specifics. The IBM eServer pSeries 640 is the baseline reference system and has a value of 1.0. Although rPerf may be used to approximate relative IBM UNIX commercial processing performance, actual system performance may vary and is dependent upon many factors including system hardware configuration and software design and configuration. Note that the rPerf methodology used for the POWER6 systems is identical to that used for the POWER5 systems. Variations in incremental system performance may be observed in commercial workloads due to changes in the underlying system architecture.
All performance estimates are provided "AS IS" and no warranties or guarantees are expressed or implied by IBM. Buyers should consult other sources of information, including system benchmarks, and application sizing guides to evaluate the performance of a system they are considering buying. For additional information about rPerf, contact your local IBM office or IBM authorized reseller.

CPW for IBM i
Commercial Processing Workload (CPW) is a relative measure of performance of processors running the IBM i operating system. Performance in customer environments may vary. The value is based on maximum configurations. More performance information is available in the Performance Capabilities Reference at: www.ibm.com/systems/i/solutions/perfmgmt/resource.html
