Chapter 1. Introduction
The IBM
®
BladeCenter
®
QS22 Type 0793 blade server is a single width 2-way
blade server that is based on the IBM
®
PowerXCell
™
8i processor.
The IBM PowerXCell 8i processing chip with its multi-core, single socket design, is
optimized for high performance computing, high-end workstations, servers, and
double-precision floating-point intensive applications.
To ensure compatibility with existing blade servers, the QS22 blade server provides
two midplane connectors. These midplane connectors include power supply, a unit
management bus, Gigabit Ethernet links, and USB ports to support BladeCenter
unit media tray devices. QS22 blade servers can run alongside other types of blade
servers in the same BladeCenter unit.
Note: In this document, unless otherwise stated, references to the BladeCenter unit
apply to the IBM BladeCenter H unit, the IBM BladeCenter HT unit, and the
IBM BladeCenter S (non RAID type only) unit.
QS22 blade servers support replaceable system memory, optional I/O buffer
memory, optional high-speed expansion cards, an optional modular flash drive, and
an optional Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) adapter card. The local service processor
supports environmental monitoring, front panel, chip initialization, and the
BladeCenter unit Advanced Management Module interface.
Features and specifications
The QS22 blade server conforms to the generic BladeCenter infrastructure and is
designed for operation in an IBM BladeCenter H unit, an IBM BladeCenter HT unit,
or an IBM BladeCenter S (non RAID type only) unit.
