Brand: IBM AS400 iSeries
Model Number: 5079-9406

(#5079) - 1.8m I/O Tower

(Only available as REFURBISHED as of October 15, 2005)

The #5079 is a supported I/O expansion tower that can contain up to 90 disk units, has 28 PCI slots and has four removable media bays.

Each #5079 includes two bus adapters (one for each internal tower unit) to provide HSL interfaces(either copper (#9691) or optical (#9739).

Each #5079 is essentially two #5074 PCI Expansion Towers, with side covers and casters removed, placed in a 1.8M tower. Each #5079 counts as two #5074s towards the system model maximums.

The upper and lower enclosures (#5074s) in a #5079 are not connected internally by an HSL cable. If the #5079 is to be placed in an HSL loop (both upper and lower enclosure on same HSL loop), a #1460 3m HSL Cable is required to connect the upper and lower enclosures. If the upper and lower enclosures are on separate HSL loops, a #1460 3m HSL Cable is not required.

The following HSL cables can be used with a #5079:

#1460 3m HSL Cable

#1461 6m HSL Cable

#1462 15m HSL Cable

#1470 6m HSL Optical Cable (model 570 only)

#1471 30m HSL Optical Cable (model 570 only)

#1472 100m HSL Optical Cable (model 570 only)

#1473 250m HSL Optical Cable (model 570 only)

#1464 6m HSL to HSL-2 Cable

Select two of the following SPCN cables per #5079:

#1463 2m SPCN Cable

#1464 6m SPCN Cable

#1465 15m SPCN Cable

#1466 30m SPCN Cable

#0369 100m Optical SPCN Cable (model 570 only)

#1468 250m Optical SPCN Cable (model 570 only)

Each #5079 was shipped with two #9943 Base PCI IOPs.

For each #5079 ordered, a quantity of two #0574(#5074 Equivalent) specify codes will be added to the order. If a #5079 is to be shared between two systems, one #0574 must be removed from the original ordering system and added to the sharing system, using an RPO(Record Purpose Only) change.

Each of the two tower units within a #5079 fully support 45 disk units (no #5101s need be ordered).

Dual line cord capability is available for the #5079 with feature #5106. With a #5106 installed, both tower units of a #5079 will have dual line cord capability. Two additional line cords (for a total of four must be ordered when a #5106 is installed.

The following line cords are supported on a #5079 (two line cord features required):

#1399 - 4.3m 300V/16A
