Special Notices
This publication is intended to help system engineers, system administrators,
customer personnel and users to support, configure and manage the PCI-based
RS/6000 Servers, RS/6000 Model E20 and RS/6000 Model F30. The information
in this publication is not intended as the product specification for these systems.
See the PUBLICATIONS section of the IBM Hardware Announcement for the IBM
RS/6000 Model E20 and the IBM RS/6000 Model F30 for more information about
what publications are considered to be product documentation.
References in this publication to IBM products, programs or services do not imply
that IBM intends to make these available in all countries in which IBM operates.
Any reference to an IBM product, program, or service is not intended to state or
imply that only IBM's product, program, or service may be used. Any functionally
equivalent program that does not infringe any of IBM's intellectual property rights
may be used instead of the IBM product, program or service.
Information in this book was developed in conjunction with use of the equipment
specified, and is limited in application to those specific hardware and software
products and levels.
IBM may have patents or pending patent applications covering subject matter in
this document. The furnishing of this document does not give you any license to
these patents. You can send license inquiries, in writing, to the IBM Director of
Licensing, IBM Corporation, 500 Columbus Avenue, Thornwood, NY 10594 USA.
The information contained in this document has not been submitted to any formal
IBM test and is distributed AS IS. The information about non-IBM (VENDOR)
products in this manual has been supplied by the vendor and IBM assumes no
responsibility for its accuracy or completeness. The use of this information or the
implementation of any of these techniques is a customer responsibility and depends
on the customer's ability to evaluate and integrate them into the customer's
operational environment. While each item may have been reviewed by IBM for
accuracy in a specific situation, there is no guarantee that the same or similar
results will be obtained elsewhere. Customers attempting to adapt these
techniques to their own environments do so at their own risk.
Any performance data contained in this document was determined in a controlled
environment, and therefore, the results that may be obtained in other operating
environments may vary significantly. Users of this document should verify the
applicable data for their specific environment.
Reference to PTF numbers that have not been released through the normal

these reference numbers is to alert IBM customers to specific information relative to
the implementation of the PTF when it becomes available to each customer
according to the normal IBM PTF distribution process.
