General description
Chapter 1.
The IBM Sserver® OpenPower™ 710 rack-mount server (9123-710) is a powerful, dense
2-way-capable system that delivers the expandability and availability required for constrained
data centers. The OpenPower 710 server's raw computing power positions it well for
high-performance engineering and scientific workloads. Its system-level expandability and
availability suits edge of network, general infrastructure, Web content serving, and application
hosting services applications. The OpenPower 710 server comes in a 2U rack drawer
package and is available in a 1-way or 2-way configuration.
The OpenPower 710 server's symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) uses a 1-way or 2-way,
state-of-the-art, 64-bit, Silicon on Insulator, copper-based IBM POWER5™ microprocessor
running at 1.65 GHz with 36 MB of Level 3 (L3) cache. The base 1 GB of main memory can
be expanded to 32 GB for faster performance and exploitation of 64-bit addressing as used in
large database applications.
The OpenPower 710 server contains five device bays. The five device bays are
front-accessible; four bays are for hot-swap-capable disk drives and can accommodate up to
1.2 TB of disk storage. The fifth bay is used for a slimline DVD-ROM or DVD-RAM. Other
integrated features include three 64-bit PCI-X slots, integrated service processor, integrated
10/100/1000 Mbps two-port Ethernet, two service processor communication, two USBs, and
two HMC ports, integrated dual-channel Ultra320 SCSI controller, external SCSI port,
hot-swappable power and cooling, and optional redundant power.
For partitioning, a Hardware Management Console (HMC) is required. The optional feature
code (FC) 1965 POWER Hypervisor™ and Virtual I/O Server are also supported on the
1
OpenPower 710 server, which supports dynamic LPAR
, up to 20 micro-partitions using
Micro-Partitioning™ technology, virtual Ethernet, as well as virtual SCSI.
IBM Cluster Systems Management (CSM) V1.4.1 for Linux on POWER is supported on the
OpenPower 710 server.
The OpenPower 710 server is backed by a three-year limited warranty. Check with your IBM
representative for particular warranty availbility in your region.
