#1466 - 30 m SPCN Cable (270, 820, 830, 840)
#1468 - 250 m Optical SPCN Cable (830, 840)
#6001 Power Control Cable - 2 M

The 90 disk unit positions are in groups of 15. Each group of 15 disk units is further divided into three groups of five disk
units. Each group of five disk units is supported on a separate SCSI bus from a #2757, #2780, #4748, or #4778 PCI RAID
Disk Unit Controller. Each group of 15 disk units requires one #2757, #2780, #4748, or #4778 PCI RAID Disk Unit
Controller.
The #5294 1.8 m I/O Tower supports up to four removable media devices (internal tape or CD-ROM or DVD). These
removable media devices are supported by the two #2757, #2780, #4748, or #4778 PCI RAID Disk Unit Controllers which
support the first two groups of 15 disk units.
The #5294 expansion tower offers additional LPAR configuration flexibility. Instead of the previous maximum number of six
disk controllers supported in a #5294, now up to 18 total disk controllers are supported. These can be either OS/400
controlled (maximum of six OS/400 partitions) or Linux controlled. The #5703/#0628 disk controller can be used to go
beyond the maximum of three, already supported #2757, #2780, #4748, and #4778 disk controllers per top or bottom unit
of the #5294.
Each tower must have a minimum of one #2748, #2757, #2780, #4748, or #4778 for each group of 15 disk units in the tower.
Only the #5703/#0628 can be ordered as an extra controller (up to two #5703/#0628s per group of 15 disk units in the same
tower) if #0143 Disk Controller Placement Exception is also ordered. The #2748, #2757, #2780, #4748, or #4778 disk
controllers cannot be ordered as extra controllers if #0143 is also ordered.
The number of disk units per #2757 and #2780 varies by configuration.
The #5294 1.8 m I/O Tower reports to the system as two CCIN 5094.
Each ordered #5294 counts as two #5094s toward the system model maximums.
The #5294 is also supported in Linux and AIX partitions with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 for POWER or Red Hat
Enterprise Linux AS for POWER Version 3, and AIX 5L for POWER V5.2.
Minimum operating system level: OS/400 V5R2
#5554 #5554 Mirror 35 GB Disk/Controller Package
The #5554 provides a disk unit controller (#2780 PCI-X Ultra4 RAID Disk Controller equivalent) and 12 15k rpm 35 GB disk
units (#4326 35.16 GB 15k RPM Disk Unit equivalent) for servers doing mirroring. Either #0042 Mirrored System IOP Level
or #0043 Mirrored System Bus Level is a prerequisite.
Initial order or MES
