Re: IBM 6617 (OOPS, 6717) drives -- what do they fit?

>From the V4R5 System Builder:

#6717 8.58 GB Additional Two-byte Disk Unit 10k RPM (Ultra SCSI)

Provides a 3 ½-inch single disk unit with 8.58 GB capacity for additional
disk storage. Supported in #5052, #5055, #5057,
or #5058 Storage Expansion Units or #5082 or #5083 Storage Expansion Towers
and in #9251 or Model 730 System
Tower. For best performance when installed in Storage Expansion or Storage
Expansion Tower, use the #6532 or #6533
RAID Disk Unit Controller (Ultra SCSI) in a #5058 or #5083. Not supported
on #6502/#6512/#6530.

Prerequisite: OS/400 V4R3


>From the V5R3 System Builder:

There is an RPQ to convert the #6717 drive to #4817 which then allows it to
be used in more models.

RPQ 847102

RPQ 847102 ships the disk mounting hardware and instructions required to
convert a #6717/#6817 to a #4317, and a
#6718/#6818 to a #4318. One RPQ is required for each disk unit to be
converted.

This conversion allows the customer to move 8.5 GB 10K RPM and 17GB 10K rpm
files from current towers to the #5065,
#5066, #5074/#9074, #5075, #5079/#9079 PCI Expansion Towers, the #5094,
#5095, #5294 PCI-X Expansion Towers,
iSeries Models 270, 800, 810, 820, 825, 830, 840, 870, 890, or Eserver i5
Models 520, 550, 570, and 595.

Confirm and that there is available space in the existing or on order
system or tower for the converted disk units and that
the required number of #2748 PCI RAID Disk Unit Controllers are available.
After the conversion, process an RPO to add
the appropriate number of #4317/#4318 and remove the appropriate number of
#6717/#6818 features.

RPQ 847102 is installed by an IBM Customer Service Representative.
