Chapter 1. General information The IBM 325 Type 8835 server is a 1-U-high1 rack model server for Eserver high-volume network transaction processing. This high-performance, symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) server is ideally suited for networking environments that require superior microprocessor performance, input/output (I/O) flexibility, and high manageability. Performance, ease of use, reliability, and expansion capabilities were key considerations in the design of your server. These design features make it possible for you to customize the system hardware to meet your needs today and provide flexible expansion capabilities for the future. The model number and serial number are on the ID label on the right mounting bracket on the server, as shown in the following illustration. Note: This illustration shows a SCSI model server. An IDE non-hot-swap hard disk drive model is also available. This illustration might differ slightly from your hardware. ID label If you have access to the Internet, you can obtain up-to-date information about your server and other IBM server products at http://www.ibm.com/eserver/xseries/. For service, assistance, or information, see Appendix A, "Getting help and technical assistance," on page 99. 1. Racks are marked in vertical increments of 1.75 inches each. Each increment is referred to as a unit, or a "U". A 1-U-high device is 1.75 inches tall. © Copyright IBM Corp. 2002, 2003 1

General
information
The
IBM
Eserver
325
Type
8835
server
is
a
1-U-high
1
rack
model
server
for
high-volume
network
transaction
processing.
This
high-performance,
symmetric
multiprocessing
(SMP)
server
is
ideally
suited
for
networking
environments
that
require
superior
microprocessor
performance,
input/output
(I/O)
flexibility,
and
high
manageability.
Performance,
ease
of
use,
reliability,

for
you
to
customize
the
system
hardware
to
meet
your
needs
today
and
provide

expansion
capabilities
for
the
future.
The
model
number
and
serial
number

label
on
the
right
mounting
bracket
on
the
server,
as
shown
in
the
following
illustration.
Note:
This
illustration
shows
a
SCSI
model
server.
An
IDE
non-hot-swap
hard
disk
drive
model
is
also
available.
This
illustration
might
differ
slightly
from
your
hardware.

Racks
are
marked
in
vertical
increments
of
1.75
inches
each.
Each
increment
is
referred
to
as
a
unit,
or
a
“U”.
