Chapter 1. Introduction and general description 19Table 1-6 Minimum features for PS703 and PS704 blade server1.6.4 Power supply featuresThe peak power consumption is 428 W for the PS703 and 848 W for the PS704 blade server;power is provided by the BladeCenter power supply modules. The maximum measured valueis the worst case power consumption expected from a fully populated server under intensiveworkload. The maximum measured value also takes into account component tolerance andnon-ideal operating conditions. Power consumption and heat load vary greatly by serverconfiguration and use.Use the IBM Systems Energy Estimator to obtain a heat output estimate based on a specificconfiguration. The Estimator is available from the following web page:http://www-912.ibm.com/see/EnergyEstimatorFor information about power supply requirements for each of the BladeCenter chassissupported by POWER7 blade servers and the number of POWER7 blades supported, see1.3.2, “Number of PS703 and PS704 blades in a chassis” on page 12.Category Minimum features requiredBladeCenter chassis Supported BladeCenter chassisRefer to 1.3.1, “Supported BladeCenter chassis” on page 5Processor Two 8-core 2.4 GHz Processors in a PS703 Blade (7891-73X) Four 8-core 2.4 GHz Processors in a PS704 Blade(7891-74X)Memory DDR3 Memory DIMMFor PS703: 16GB - two 8 GB (2 x 4 GB DIMMs) DDR3 1066 MHz (#8196) or one 16 GB (2x 8 GB DIMMs) DDR3 1066 MHz (#8199 )For PS704: 32 GB - four 8 GB (2 x 4 GB DIMMs) DDR3 1066 MHz (#8196) or two 16 GB (2x 8 GB DIMMs) DDR3 1066 MHz (#8199)Storage AIX/Linux/Virtual I/O Server/IBM i (Required VIOS partition): 300 GB SAS 2.5-inch HDD (#8274) or 600 GB SAS 2.5 inch HDD (#8276) or 177 GB SATA SSD (#8207)If Boot from SAN 8 GB Fibre Channel HBA is selected with FC #8240, #8242 or#8271 or Fibre Channel over Ethernet Adapter FC #8275 must be ordered.FC #8207 requires FC #4539 - Interposer for 1.8-inch Solid® State Drives1x Language Group Country specific (selected by the customer)Operating system 1x primary operating system (one of the following) AIX (#2146) Linux (#2147) IBM i (#2145) plus IBM i 6.1.1 (#0566) IBM i (#2145) plus IBM i 7.1 (#0567)
