 Blade Server Expansion Cards 
The LS42 blade server includes one x8 PCI-E and one 133MHz PCI-X adapter slot on each blade. Either one legacy PCI-X expansion card or one SFF (small form factor) PCI-X or PCI-E adapter can be installed in this blade (one card total).  One CFFV and one CFFH card can be installed in the blade at the same time.

 One of two possible expansion units may be added to increase the number of expansion card slots available. Each will utilize the PCI-E slot in the LS42:


 
 â€¢ The  PCI I/O Expansion Unit II (25K8373) provides two PCI-X slots in addition to the slot on the LS22 blade (three slots usable).   An additional Blade slot is taken with this unit. 

• The  PCI Express Expansion Unit (43W4391) provides two PCI-E slots in addition to the slot on the LS22 blade. An additional Blade slot is taken with this unit.

IBM is announcing the new IBM Reseller Option Kit (ROK) program. The ROK program authorizes qualifying IBM Distributors to buy selected IBM OEM licenses of select Microsoft Windows Server operating systems for installation on IBM System x and BladeCenter Servers or for sale to IBM Business Partners (Resellers) for installation on IBM System x and BladeCenter Servers. Distributors can also install the ROK themselves if requested by the Reseller or if they want to act as a Reseller in order to sell IBM System x and Bladecenter Servers installed with the ROK directly to customers.  This program delivers one-stop shopping and flexibility to our distributors, allowing them to buy their Microsoft Windows Server operating systems and IBM System x and BladeCenter servers from one source.

This offering contains the 32 bit version only
