#6618 #6618 Integrated Netfinity Server (SPD)
The #6618 Integrated Netfinity Server contains an Intel 333 MHz Pentium II Processor, four main storage slots, and three
LAN IOA slots for high performance LAN serving to LAN-attached PCs. All three PCI slots can be used for Integrated PC
Server functions. Two of the three PCI slots can support native iSeries functions. The #6618 requires three IOP slots. The
slots must be adjacent. An external cable is included to enable connectivity to IPCS hardware (keyboard or mouse), which
also allows for optional use of parallel and serial ports.
The #6618 comes with no base main memory. A minimum of one main storage feature is required. Up to four of the following
memory features are supported, to allow between 32 MB and 1024 MB of memory:
#2861 32 MB Integrated PC Server Memory
#2862 128 MB Integrated PC Server Memory
#2867 256 MB Integrated PC Server Memory
Up to three of the following LAN IOAs are supported. A minimum of one LAN IOA is required. A maximum of two of the LAN
IOAs can be #2838/#9738 PCI 100/10 Mbps Ethernet IOA.
#2723 PCI Ethernet IOA (10 Mbps)
#2724 PCI 16/4 Mbps Token Ring IOA
#2838 PCI 100/10 Mbps Ethernet IOA
Only one of the following base LAN IOAs is supported:
#9723 PCI Ethernet IOA (10 Mbps)
#9724 PCI Token Ring IOA
#9738 PCI 100/10 Mbps Ethernet IOA
An #0221 Ethernet on IPCS is required for each #2723/#9723 selected to run on the #6618.
An #0220 Token-ring on IPCS is required for each #2724/#9724 selected to run on the #6618.
An #0222 100/10 Mbps Ethernet on IPCS is required for each #2838/#9738 selected to run on the #6618.
When running Windows NT on the #6618, then:
A minimum of 64 MB IOP memory is required. Maximum total memory is 1024 MB.
The #0325 Integrated PC Server Extension Cable for Windows NT is required.
The #1700 Integrated PC Server Keyboard or Mouse for Windows NT is the default in the U.S.
There is a maximum of one 100/10 Mbps Ethernet IOA in the two native iSeries slots.
There is a maximum of two 100/10 Mbps Ethernet IOAs.
A display is required to support Windows NT on the IPCS.
Windows NT is not supported after OS/400 V5R2. Upgrade to Windows 2000.
For keyboard or mouse and display support in countries (regions) outside the U.S., see the Web site at:
http://www.ibm.com/eserver/iseries/integratedxseries/
When running OS/2 on the #6618, then:
The #0325 and #1700 are not allowed.
Only two of the LAN IOA slots can be used and only one can contain a #2838/#9738 PCI 100/10 Mbps Ethernet IOA.
A maximum of one 100/10 Mbps Ethernet IOA can be in the two native iSeries slots.
A maximum of 512 MB IOP memory is supported.
When running Novell NetWare on the #6618, then:
The #0325 and #1700 are not allowed.
Only two of the LAN IOA slots can be used and only one can contain a #2838/#9738 PCI 100/10 Mbps Ethernet IOA.
Both can Support native iSeries functions.
A maximum of 256 MB IOP memory is supported.
SPD slots required: Three contiguous slots
The #6618 cannot be placed in #5044 System Unit Expansion Rack.
The third LAN and the second #2838 can only be used if running Windows NT on the #6618.
All three PCI slots can be used for the Integrated Netfinity Server with only two of the three slots supporting native iSeries
functions.
A maximum of two #2838/#9738 can be used on each Integrated Netfinity Server: one native and one Windows NT
dedicated.
OS/2 and Novell NetWare are not supported with OS/400 V5R1.
Supported on Models 820, 830, and 840.
Minimum operating system level: OS/400 V4R3 and Cumulative PTF Package C8349430
The #6618 was withdrawn from marketing on 28 December 2001.
