1. IBM offers configure-to-order (CTO) capability for selected products through Easy Access. Although similar to machine type models (MTM), CTO systems
utilize different part numbers called Sales Building Blocks (SBB). The contents of an option may not entirely correspond to an SBB because only a certain
component within an option package may be required to configure a specific system. Additional or different configuration rules or limitations may apply to the
SBB. When a difference occurs, the rules will be documented in the tables, diagrams or footnotes.
2. The 2108R3L SAN Data Gateway Router UltraSCSI LVD Port provides one integrated short-wave optical port (1Gb) and two SCSI ports for tape storage
connections (LVD, HVD). Required for attachment of external tape storage options to the BladeCenter Fibre Channel switch module directly, through a
supported switch or hub, or through a storage server.
3. Requires a SAN Data Gateway Router to attach to the external BladeCenter Fibre Channel storage configuration. Refer to Appendix A: Tape Drive
Attributes or Appendix D: Cables - Storage Units - Controllers for additional information.
4. Install in HS20 over IDE HDD bay two (allowing only one IDE HDD). Includes two Fibre Channel channels with two ports. One channel connects to an
optional BladeCenter 2-port Fibre Channel Switch Module (48P7062) installed in switch module bay three and the second channel connects to a second
optional switch module installed in switch module bay four, which provides redundancy. Compatibility with the switch module selected for installation in
BladeCenter switch modules three and four is required. Expansion cards cannot be mixed within a BladeCenter chassis.
