Note 1: CPW is the Commercial Processing Workload that is now being used to measure the performance of all
iSeries and AS/400e processors. The CPW value is measured on all maximum configurations. The type and
number of disk devices, the number of workstation controllers, the amount of memory, the system model,
other factors, and the application being run determine the performance that is achievable. With the
introduction of the Dedicated Servers for Domino, Simple Mail Users has been added as a performance
measurement.
Note 2: Processor performance represents the relative performance (maximum capacity) of a processor feature
running CPW in a client/server environment. Processor capacity is achievable when the commercial workload
is not constrained by main storage and DASD. Interactive Performance represents the relative performance
available to perform host-centric workloads. The amount of interactive capacity consumed will reduce the
available processor capacity by the same amount.
Note 3: The Integrated Netfinity Server is mutually exclusive with the high speed slot for LAN and ATM in the Base
System Unit.
Note 4: One line is used by the Operations Console or Client Access Console if selected. The total is reduced by one
if a Twinaxial Console is selected. To reach the maximum of 30 communication lines using the #2745/#9745
in slot C03, the base LAN adapter needs to be removed.
Note 5: Base System is the maximum total for #2289 processor. The #2289 processor does not support the
attachment of the #7101 System Unit Expansion.
Note 6: The Integrated Server is mutually exclusive with the high speed slot for LAN and ATM.
