<div class="notetitle" id="wq8">Note:</div>
|
|
<div class="notebody">Depending on the IXS type, there are different ways to provide
|
|
network connectivity. Some types of IXSs can 'take over' adjacent PCI slots,
|
|
allowing the IXS to control an iSeries network card (see <a href="rzahqhdwrf.htm#rzahqhdwrf">Hardware requirements</a> for
|
|
information about which network cards are supported). You can install up
|
|
to three network cards in this way. Other types of IXSs have integrated network
|
|
controllers and do not support network cards in adjacent slots.</div>

|
|
<p>IXA attached integrated servers are standard xSeries® server models, containing processors,
|
|
memory, and expansion cards, but no disks. All the disk space is housed in
|
|
the iSeries server and managed in the same way as for IXS models.</p>
|
|
<p>The installation procedure for an IXA attached integrated Windows server
|
|
is almost identical to that for an IXS integrated server. The major difference
|
|
between them is that since new xSeries servers are released more often than
|
|
IXSs, updated capabilities are available more rapidly. IXA attached xSeries servers
|
|
also have their own expansion slots, so they are far more expandable than
|
|
IXSs.</p>

|
|
to further enhance network connectivity. Information about xSeries network

card compatibility can be found on the <a href="http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/integratedxseries/">Integrated xSeries solutions</a> web site.</li>
