Chapter 5. IBM AS/400e 720, 730, and 740 models 133
5.4 Notes for AS/400e Models 720, 730, and 740 overview
Note 1 The Commercial Processing Workload (CPW) is now used to measure the performance of all iSeries and AS/400e
processors. The CPW value is measured on maximum configurations. The type and number of disk devices, the number of
workstation controllers, the amount of memory, the system model, other factors, and the application being run determine the
performance that is achievable. All iSeries and AS/400e processors announced from September 1996 onward have only
CPW performance measurements.
Note 2 External direct access storage device (DASD) can be attached using an SPD card in the expansion unit.
Note 3 One line is used for Client Access Console or Operations Console if selected. Maximum is 17 if Twinaxial Console is selected.
Note 4 The #9364 must be configured with #9329/#9330 (Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI)) or #9331 (System Products
Division (SPD)). Therefore, these columns are mutually exclusive.
Note 5 The maximum is 175.4 GB on the #2061 Processor.
Note 6 Any combination of twinaxial or ASCII workstation controllers up to either maximum shown is allowed. Maximums are not
additive.
Note 7 This total includes the multifunction input/output processor (MFIOP). The combination of internal and external input/output
processors (IOPs) cannot exceed this number.
Note 8 The maximum combination of the 2440, 7208, or 9348 and tape libraries cannot exceed four.
