Chapter 2.
Architecture and technical
overview
This chapter discusses the overall system architecture of the p5-520 and p5-520Q. Figure 2-1
details the base system hardware and the DCM or QCM options. (You cannot mix an
installation of DCM and QCM options.) The bandwidths in this chapter are theoretical
maximums that are provided for reference. We always recommend that you obtain real-world
performance measurements using production workloads.
