Appendix C. SP system upgrades
411
Relocating processor nodes
If you plan to relocate any nodes or switches to another frame, you must order
one of the following no-charge features:
Relocating a Thin node (F/C 9250)
Relocating a Wide node (F/C 9251)
Relocating a High node (F/C 9252)
Relocating an SP Switch (F/C 9253)
If you are relocating thin or wide nodes to a frame that does not have the 48 V dc
power and Ethernet cables already installed, you can order the following features
for each node you are moving:
1. F/C 9303 - 48 V dc cable
2. F/C 9304 - BNC Ethernet cable
Upgrading SP frames
The following SP frame upgrades can be performed:
Upgrading Model 500 and F/C 1500 to Model 550 and F/C 1550
This conversion is available if you want to upgrade your Model 500 short-frame
SP system with a maximum of eight nodes to a Model 550 tall-frame system with
a maximum capacity of 128 nodes. You receive a new tall frame with its integral
SEPBU power subsystem and linecord and then your nodes are transferred from
the old frame to the new. In this case, the system retains its original serial
number.
Upgrading Model T70 to Model 550
This conversion transfers the POWER3 High Node and any SP Expansion I/O
Units in a Model T70 Workgroup Server to a Model 550 tall frame.
