Abstract

The RS/6000* 43P Series is an affordable priced line of full-function systems that provides a solid range of power and expansion capabilities. These systems are versatile and perform well as either workstations or entry servers. Selectable microprocessor speeds plus available packaging options enable you to purchase the system that works best for you. Built-in graphics and integrated Ethernet** further enhance configuration flexibility.

The 43P Series leverages the personal computer bus technology from such common industry technologies as PCI, ISA and SCSI-2. This enables you to use many of the high-performance PCI adapters, low-priced ISA adapters, and readily available SCSI-2 devices. An entry graphics accelerator is integrated on the system board to provide outstanding entry 2D graphics. This graphics functionality is designed to meet the graphics needs of most business and commercial applications.

Description

The 43P Series delivers the advanced technology and high performance of the PowerPC* microprocessor in a remarkable open system. Designed from the ground up to adhere to industry standards like Industry Standard Architecture (ISA), Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI), and Small Computer System Interface (SCSI-2), the 43P Series allows you to exploit PC components that adhere to these formats. The 43P Series provides you with an open, powerful system for solving today's business problems and is positioned to solve the complex problems of tomorrow.

Graphics Features Overview

The 7248 RS/6000 43P Series has various graphics options to fit a wide range of graphics requirements.

To achieve higher levels of 2D graphics performance, you can select from the PCI-based S15, POWER GXT150P, POWER GXT250P, or POWER GXT255P (requires AIX Version 4.2) graphics accelerators.

For production-quality 3D graphics at an entry price, AIX on the 43P Series provides Softgraphics 3D support for the OpenGL and graPHIGS* 3D application programming interfaces. Combining Softgraphics with a POWER GXT255P graphics accelerator enables you to run 24-bit entry-level 3D applications, such as production 3D CAD.

For advanced 3D graphics functionality and high performance, you can attach the POWER GXT1000 graphics accelerator to a 43P Series workstation running AIX. This accelerator is well suited for a variety of 3D modelling and rendering applications including design automation, architectural design, animation, and entertainment graphics.

The 7248 RS/6000 Model 43P (7248-132) consists of the following:

Note: Selectable Required Features are individually priced with the 1.2 GB Disk, 16MB of Parity Memory, and Keyboard included in the base price.


Product Positioning

The 43P Series is positioned as the entry family of workstations and servers for the RS/6000 brand. They provide outstanding performance for their price. As a workstation, the versatile 43P Series can scale from entry 2D business graphics to complete 3D solids modeling, with the optional POWER GXT1000. It has the highest 2D performance with the POWER GXT250P and the best 24-bit "true color" support of any RS/6000 workstation.

The 43P makes an excellent workgroup server. It is the lowest-cost server in the RS/6000 family. It nicely complements the other PCI/ISA workgroup servers: the E20, E30, F30 and F40.

Additional Selectable Components:

Components and Configuration

Following is a description of the components and configuration possibilities for 7248 RS/6000 43P Series

Required Components: The initial order must contain the following selected from the available options. Based on the operating system selected, there may be certain recommendations and restrictions. Refer to the Operating Environment section for more detail.

Orders may not contain more components then will fit into five slots and five bays. The five slots are 3 ISA, 2PCI or ISA (Shared).

Memory:

7248 RS/6000 43P Series can have memory configured up to 192 MB maximum with a minimum requirement of 16MB (parity). There are six memory SIMM connectors on the system board and memory SIMMs are required to be installed in pairs (there must be a minimum of 16 MB; two 8 MB memory SIMMs).

Six memory SIMM connectors provide for an economical memory buildup for most users. If future expansion of memory is projected, the purchaser must balance cost/availability of memory SIMMs with potential/total system memory requirements (Example: Today, installing four 8 MB memory SIMMs might be less expensive than one 32 MB memory SIMM but there would only be two connectors remaining for future memory expansion, for a 96 MB maximum instead of 192 MB maximum, without replacing/discarding 8 MB memory SIMMs).

Graphics Adapters

The 7248 RS/6000 43P Series uses PCI-based graphics adapters and offers high performance for graphics intensive applications. The adapter choices depend upon the price/performance the user requires. IBM E15-type graphics is standard on the 7248 RS/6000 43P Series motherboard. The adapters are:

Feature Descriptions

The following is a list of feature codes in numeric order.

Attributes, as defined in the following feature descriptions, state the interaction of requirements among features.

Minimums and maximums are the absolute limits for a single feature without regard to interaction with other features. The maximum valid quantity for MES orders may be different than for initial orders. The maximums listed below refer to the largest quantity of these two possibilities.

The order type defines if a feature is orderable only on initial orders, only on MES orders, or is available for both initial and MES orders.

(#2111) - 8 Bit External SCSI-2 Cable Dual Port, plus terminator

(For IBM US, No Longer Available as of December 3, 2001)
