#2890 PCI Integrated Netfinity Server, #2891 PCI Integrated xSeries Server, #2899 PCI Integrated xSeries Server
The #2890 PCI Integrated Netfinity Server contains a 700 MHz processor. The #2891 PCI Integrated xSeries Server
contains an 850 MHz processor. The #2899 PCI Integrated xSeries Server contains a 1 GHz Pentium III processor. Each
processor contains four memory slots in the xSeries IOP.
Each main storage slot of the #2890, #2891, or #2899 can contain either a 128 MB, 256 MB, or 1024 MB xSeries server
main storage card, providing a total main storage capacity ranging from 128 MB to 4096 MB (4 GB). Allowable main storage
increments in MB are: 128, 256, 384, 512, 640, 768, 896, 1024, 1152, 1280, 1408, 1536, 1664, 1792, 2048, 2176, 2304,
2432, 2560, 3072, 3200, 3328, and 4096. A minimum of 128 MB xSeries IOP memory is required. When the maximum
memory is installed, only 3712 MB is addressable.
The following main storage cards provide server memory for the #2890, #2891, and #2899:
#2795 - 128 MB Server Memory (withdrawn from marketing on 19 November 2004)
#2796 - 256 MB Server Memory (withdrawn from marketing on 19 November 2004)
#2797 - 1 GB Server Memory (withdrawn from marketing on 01 June 2006)
The #2890, #2891, or #2899 can support PCI 100/16/4 Mbps Token Ring IOAs, PCI 100/10 Mbps Ethernet IOAs, or PCI
1 Gbps Ethernet IOAs in any combination. A minimum of one LAN IOA is required. The following LAN IOA features:
#2743 1 Gbps PCI Ethernet IOA
#2744 PCI 100 Mbps Token Ring IOA
#2760 PCI 1 Gbps Ethernet UTP Adapter
#4838 PCI 100/10 Mbps Ethernet IOA
A #0223 100 Mbps Token-Ring Specify is required on the #2890/#2891/#2899 PCI Integrated xSeries Server for each
#2744 selected to run on the #2890/#2891/#2899.
A #0224 100/10 Mbps Ethernet Specify is required on the #2890/#2891/#2899 PCI Integrated xSeries Server for each
#4838 selected to run on the #2890/#2891/#2899.
A #0225 1 Gbps Ethernet Specify is required on the #2890/#2891/#2899 PCI Integrated xSeries Server for each #2743 or
#2760 selected to run on the #2890/#2891/#2899.
Up to three IOA LAN features can be supported by the #2890, #2891, or #2899, depending on which system or expansion
tower position the #2890, #2891, or #2899 is placed. The #2890, #2891, or #2899 requires three PCI card slots. One slot
is consumed. The second slot is unusable. The third slot is reduced to a short card slot, which is then used by the first
attached LAN IOA card.
The #2890, #2891, or #2899 does not require a #2843 or #9943, but placement is limited to specific slots within the various
system towers and expansion towers. The #2890, #2891, or #2899 supports only the Windows NT, Windows 2000, and
Windows 2003 operating systems. Ships with a keyboard or mouse splitter cable. The following considerations apply:
#0325 IPCS Extension Cable for Windows is the default (but can be removed).
#1700 IPCS Keyboard/Mouse for Windows is the default (in those countries or regions that offer it).
A display must be connected to the Integrated xSeries Server to support Windows.
For a non-U.S. keyboard, mouse and display, see:
http://www.ibm.com/eserver/iseries/integratedxseries/
Native OS/400 functions are not supported.
The #2890, #2891, or #2899 does not support external host LAN.
The #2849 is not supported on any Integrated Netfinity Server/Integrated xSeries Server.
Windows NT is not supported after OS/400 V5R2. Upgrade to Windows 2000.
The #2890, #2891, or #2899 is supported (for migration only) in the #5074 PCI Expansion Tower, #5075 PCI Expansion
Tower, #0578/#5078 PCI Expansion Unit, and #5079 1.8 M I/O Tower, #0595/#5095 PCI-X Expansion Tower, #5094/#5294
Expansion Towers, and #0588/#5088 PCI-X Expansion Unit.
Minimum operating system level: #2890/#2891 - OS/400 V4R5 with Cumulative Package C1005450
#2899 - V5R1 with PTFs identified in Information APAR II13105 at:
http://www.ibm.com/eserver/iseries/support
Minimum operating system to support #2743 or #2760 on the #2890, #2891, or #2899: OS/400 V5R1
The #2890, #2891, and #2899 are Customer Install Features.
The #2899 was withdrawn from marketing on 21 November 2003 for new orders. Conversion to feature #2899 remains
available.
