<div><p>You can add an expansion unit to many of the iSeries™ servers
|
||
|
|
to support additional features and devices.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If you want to create logical partitions on your iSeries server, you will probably need
|
||
|
|
to add an expansion unit. This will contain the additional hardware that you
|
||
|
|
need for each logical partition.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>There are different types of expansion units. Some expansion units can
|
||
|
|
support only disk units (storage expansion unit), while others can support
|
||
|
|
a variety of hardware (system expansion unit). This is dependent on the kind
|
||
|
|
of buses and IOPs that are installed in the unit.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Expansion units generally contain one or two system I/O bus with multiple
|
||
|
|
IOPs that control various I/O devices.</p>
