The symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) server can be configured with one or two standard 16-way processor books. Each 16-way book contains two 8-way multi-chip modules (MCMs) that use state-of-the-art, 64-bit, copper-based, POWER5 microprocessors. Each pair of processors within an MCM is supported by 1.9 MB of Level 2 cache and 36 MB of Level 3 cache. Each 16-way processor book also includes 16 slots for memory cards and six Remote I/O-2 attachment cards for connection of the system I/O drawers.
