*** SPEC SHEET IN PDF FORMAT AT BOTTOM OF PAGE ***
The IBM 9406 AS/400e SXX servers with the dynamic 64-bit PowerPC AS microprocessor, coupled with a generous amount of main storage, disk capacity, client support, feature card slots, and communications lines, you have what you need to help you maximize your gains from client/server computing.
The IBM 9406 Model S20 has, depending upon the processor feature selected, 256MB minimum and 4096MB maximum Main Storage, in addition to DASD Capacity of 4.19GB minimum and 944.8GB maximum.
The base configurations of these AS/400e servers offer performance and capabilities suited for many growing businesses. Among the components in the base system are:
- System processor available in several options for most models with different levels of performance and corresponding capacities of main storage
- 4.19GB 3 1/2-inch disk unit or optional 8.58GB or 17.54GB disk units
- Multi-Function I/O Processor provides support for disk storage, internal tape, CD-ROM, a system display console, and communication lines
- One workstation adapter
- Communications adapter for Electronic Customer Support (ECS) (attachment cable must be ordered.)
- Ethernet or Token-Ring LAN adapter may be included in the base system at no additional charge
- CD-ROM drive is included in AS/400 systems using PowerPC technology
- Concurrent repair capability makes it possible to repair or replace disk units while the system is fully operational
- Continuously powered main storage and battery backup for greater system availability (not on Model S10)
64-bit RISC technology - Featuring IBM PowerPC AS microprocessors, AS/400e servers offer exceptional processor performance, main storage and DASD capacity -- all at a lower cost of computing.
Exceptional client/server performance - E-servers deliver dramatic performance gains and supports a variety of client applications and industry-leading client operating systems
Flexibility for today and tomorrow - AS/400e servers are available in four models -- spanning 22 different processors. This assures you of considerable flexibility when matching system performance with your business needs as well as clearing a cost-efficient growth path for the future.
Simplified, network-centric computing - A wealth of mission-critical features are built in, making your e-server easier to manage and allowing it to work in multivendor environments.
Built-in relational database - The powerful DB2 for OS/400 is the most popular multi-user relational database management system (RDBMS) in the world. DB2 for OS/400 is ANSI 92 standards-compliant, guarantees conformance with IBM DATABASE 2 (DB2) family and SQL, and provides open environment functions that can interoperate with other industry-standard RDBMS.
Exceptional performance and expandability - Based on the PowerPC AS microprocessor, AS/400e servers deliver leadership performance and provide outstanding storage capability, with optional features available to grow the server with your business needs. OS/400 Version 4 contains server model enhancements which improve performance and simplify management in mixed environments.
Prior to Version 4, loading additional interactive work on a system resulted in a general system slowdown for both interactive and non-interactive work. With Version 4, the system automatically manages job priorities to ensure that non-interactive work is not impacted by interactive work. In environments where there is not significant interactive work, behavior is the same as it was prior to Version 4.
With all this advanced technology, AS/400 builds on a simple concept -- faster deployment of your applications at lower cost to implement and manage. AS/400 Advanced Application Architecture -- designed to incorporate network-enabled technology in a non-disruptive manner -- helps protect your investment and deliver secure, reliable network computing.
