502 iSeries and AS/400e System Builder
15.6 Notes for all RISC system summary tables
Note 1 Commercial Processing Workload (CPW) is used to measure the performance of all iSeries and AS/400e processors
announced from September 1996 onward. 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 running determine what performance is achievable.
Note 2 The constrained figures are for the 9401 Model 150 with its maximum configuration. The unconstrained figures show
what the performance would be if the processor was not limited by the maximum main storage and direct access storage
device (DASD) of the Model 150. In each case, the figure is for interactive workload, and the second is for client/server.
Note 3 Relative system performance ratios are estimated based on AS/400 environment RAMP-C workload. A measurement of
1.0 is set as the base to represent the performance of a 9404 B10 with 16 MB of main storage and 945 MB of disk
storage. The ratios shown are estimated at maximum configurations running at 70% utilization. Relative system
performance ratios might not be realized in all environments.
Note 4 One line is used for Operations Console or Client Access if selected. The maximum is nine if Twinaxial Console is
selected.
Note 5 17 lines in the base system if Client Access Operations Console is chosen.
Note 7 Can include up to 16 Integrated PC Servers
Note 8 External DASD can be attached with an SPD card in the expansion unit.
Note 9 Maximum is 85.8 GB (V4R1) or 175.4 GB (V4R2/V4R3/V4R4) on the #2161 processor
Note 10 Information not available.
Note 11 As of February 1997 with V3R7, the maximum disk capacity is 50.3 GB.
Note 12 The #9364 must be configured with #9329/#9330 (PCI) or #9331 (SPD). Therefore, these columns are mutually
exclusive.
Note 13 Two of these slots are reserved for the Integrated PC Server. Three are driven by the MFIOP.
Note 14 Three are driven by the MFIOP. Two of these slots are reserved for the Integrated PC Server.
Note 15 The #5064 must be configured with #9329 (PCI) or #9331 (SPD). Therefore, these columns are mutually exclusive.
Note 16 The #0004 specify code indicates that the Model 620 #2175 processor shipped with base memory of 256 MB. These
systems have a maximum memory of 2048 MB.
Note 17 The S20 processors #2170, #2177, and #2178 support a maximum of 60 twinaxial and 58 ASCII Workstations
Controllers and 2392 twinaxial and 1044 ASCII Workstations
Note 18 The Model 400 and packages, the 40S and packages, the 40E, 41E, 40G, 41G, 40L and 41L packages and Model 436
support three LAN adapters if running Firewall for AS/400 (5769-FW1). Package 4HS and 4SS have a base Ethernet or
token-ring adapter.
Note 20 Six lines are supported, but one is dedicated to Client Access Console (#029x Packages) or Operations Console (#039x
and 059x packages).
Note 21 Six lines are supported but one is dedicated to Client Access Console.
Note 22 The #2109 and #2110 processor support 32 to 224 MB main storage.
The #2111 and #2112 processor support 64 to 512 MB main storage.
Note 23 The #2130 processor supports 160 MB main storage.
The #2131, #2132, and #2133 processors support a maximum of 224 MB main storage.
