The IBM
^
xSeries 455 is the second-generation Enterprise
X-Architecture server using the 64-bit IBM XA-64 chipset and the
Intel Itanium 2 processor. Unlike the x450, its predecessor, the x455
supports the merging of four server chassis to form a single 16-way
image, providing even greater expandability and investment
protection.
This IBM Redbook is a comprehensive resource on the technical
aspects of the server, and is divided into five key subject areas:
Chapter 1, “Technical description”, introduces the server and
its subsystems and describes the key features and how they
work.
Chapter 2, “Positioning”, examines the types of applications
that would be used on a server such as the x455.
Chapter 3, “Planning”, describes the considerations when
planning to purchase and planning to install the x455.
Chapter 4, “Installation”, covers the process of installing
Windows Server 2003, SuSE Linux Enterprise Server, and Red
Hat Enterprise Linux AS on the x455.
Chapter 5, “Management”, describes how to use the Remote
Supervisor Adapter to send alerts to an IBM Director
management environment.
