The Converged Service Processor2 (CSP) is on a dedicated card plugged into the main system
planar, which is designed to continuously monitor system operations, taking preventive or corrective
actions to promote quick problem resolution and high system availability.
Additional features are designed into pSeries servers to provide an extensive set of reliability,
availability, and serviceability (RAS) features such as improved fault isolation, recovery from errors
without stopping the system, avoidance of recurring failures, and predictive failure analysis.
Additional information on the P5 520 server is available at www.ibm.com/redbooks.
Management Console
Included in the DR550 SMB is an integrated flat panel monitor, keyboard and mouse. The IBM
7316-TF3 is a rack-mounted flat panel console kit consisting of a 17 inch (337.9 mm x 270.3 mm)
flat panel color monitor, rack keyboard tray, IBM travel keyboard (English only), and the Netbay LCM
switch. This is packaged as a 1U kit and can be mounted in a customer provided rack along with the
other DR550 SMB components. The Netbay LCM Switch is mounted in the same rack space,
located behind the flat panel monitor. The IBM Travel Keyboard is configured for English. An
integrated “mouse” is included in the keyboard. The POWER5 520 server is connected to the
Netbay LCM switch so that the monitor and keyboard can access the server.
IBM TotalStorage SAN Switch
One IBM TotalStorage SAN Fibre Channel Switch is included in the offering if the “disk and tape
ready” option is ordered. The switch is used to interconnect the P5 520 server with fibre channel
based tape solution such as the IBM 3592. The switch (2005-H08) supports multiple connections ot
the tape.
The 2005-H08 is an 8-port, dual speed, auto-sensing fibre channel switch. Four ports are populated
with 2 gigabit shortwave transceivers when the DR550 SMB is configured for disk and tape.
