IBM Power 770 and 780 (9117-MMD, 9179-MHD) Technical Overview and Introduction
1.4 System features
Both Power 770 and Power 780 processor card features 64-bit architecture designed with four
single-chip module (SCM) processors.
1.4.1 Power 770 system features
The following features are available on the Power 770:
A 4U 19-inch rack-mount system enclosure
One to four system enclosures: 16U maximum system size
One processor card feature per enclosure (includes the voltage regulator):
– 0 to 12-core, 4.22 GHz processor card (FC EPM0)
– 0 to 16-core, 3.8 GHz processor card (FC EPM1)
DDR3 Memory DIMMs (16 DIMM slots per CEC enclosure):
– 0 - 32 GB (4 X 8 GB), 1066 MHz (FC EM40)
– 0 - 64 GB (4 X 16 GB), 1066 MHz (FC EM41)
– 0 - 128 GB (4 X 32 GB), 1066 MHz (FC EM42)
– 0 - 256 GB (4 X 64 GB), 1066 MHz (FC EM44)
Six hot-swappable, 2.5-inch, small form factor, SAS disk or SSD bays per enclosure
One hot-plug, slim-line, SATA media bay per enclosure (optional)
Redundant hot-swap AC power supplies in each enclosure
Choice of Integrated Multifunction Card options; maximum one per enclosure:
– Dual 10 Gb Copper and Dual 1 Gb Ethernet (FC 1768)
– Dual 10 Gb Optical and Dual 1 Gb Ethernet (FC 1769)
One serial port included on each Integrated Multifunction Card
Two USB ports included on each Integrated Multifunction Card, plus another USB port on
each enclosure (maximum nine usable per system)
Two HMC ports per enclosure (maximum four per system)
Additional considerations:
The Ethernet port of the Integrated Multifunction Card cannot be used for an IBM i
console. Use separate Ethernet adapters that can be directly controlled by IBM i
without the Virtual I/O server for IBM i LAN consoles if desired. Alternatively, an
HMC can also be used for an IBM i console.
The first CEC enclosure must contain one Integrated Multifunction Card (FC 1768 or
FC 1769). The Integrated Multifunction Card is optional for the second, third, or
fourth CEC enclosure.
Each Integrated Multifunction Card has four Ethernet ports, two USB ports, and one
serial port. Usage of the serial port by AIX or Linux is supported for MODEM call
home, TTY console, and snooping even if an HMC is attached to the server. Usage
by the serial port to communicate with a UPS is not supported.
The first and second CEC enclosures each have two HMC ports on the service
processor (FC EU09). If there are two CEC enclosures, the HMC must be
connected to both service processor cards.
