More details about LM3488mm:
RoHS - This part IS RoHS compliant.
However there are National Products from Texas Instruments
that are not RoHS compliant.
To Order - NoPb products can be ordered appending a "/NOPB"
suffix to the ordering number, for example "LM324AM/NOPB".
If you order a part number without the /NOPB as the suffix
the part you will receive will be Non-RoHS compliant.
With the acquisition of National Semiconductor Mouser
anticipates that the RoHS non-compliant National Products
from Texas Instruments will be phased out and customers
should transition to the compliant version of the parts.
If you have questions about this transition to RoHS
compliant part numbers please contact a Mouser Technical
Support Representative.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

HS21 XM blade servers, each with two 80W processors, eight 4GB memory DIMMs, one SAS HDD, one USB-based flash
drive, one I/O card and one cKVM card), there could be periods of time that Power Domain 2 exceeds the 13.5amp rating
guidance (Power Domain 1 will not exceed the rating guidance). While this is not violating any safety rules, we recommend
that your clients review the electrical infrastructure and power distribution of their installations to account for a peak of 14.4A

Notes:
1. A green cell means that the chassis can be filled with HS23 blade servers up to the maximum number of blade bays in the
chassis (for example, 14 blades in the BladeCenter H).
2. A yellow cell means that the maximum number of HS23 blades that the chassis can hold is fewer than the total available blade
bays (for example, 12 in a BladeCenter E). Other bays in the chassis must remain empty.
3. IBM BladeCenter H 2980W AC Power Modules, 68Y6601 (standard in 4Tx, optional with all other BC-H models)
4. IBM BladeCenter H Enhanced Cooling Modules, 68Y6650 (standard in 4Tx, optional with all other BC-H models).
5. Intel Xeon E5-2648L (70W) and E5-2658 (95W) are embedded processors used in HS23
6. Support shown is for non-NEBS environments (upon completion of testing)
7. The HS23 is not supported in the BladeCenter E with power supplies smaller than 2000W.

BladeCenter HT Average Blade Power
Average per slot blade power is determined by AC or DC power chassis, power policy (user definable), and to a
lesser extent, the power domain. The following table is for the BladeCenter HT, and assumes that all four power
supplies are installed and all switch bays are occupied.

22. IBM BladeCenter Interoperability Guide
Notes:
1. Supported in left I/O Module bay of MSIM (39Y9314) with I/O cards QLogic Ethernet and 4 Gb Fibre Channel Expansion
Card (CFFh, 39Y9306) and QLogic Ethernet and 8 GB Fibre Channel Expansion Card (CFFH, 44X1940). Supported in left
and right I/O bay with 2/4 Port Ethernet Expansion Card (CFFh, 44W4479).
2. Supported in right I/O Module bay of MSIM (39Y9314) in BC-H or MSIM-HT = 44R5913 in BC-HT with I/O card QLogic
Ethernet and 4 Gb Fibre Channel Expansion Card (CFFh, 39Y9306)
3. MSIM = 39Y9314. MSIM-HT = 44R5913
4. a: SAS RAID Controller Module minimum quantity of 1 is supported and must be installed in BladeCenter S I/O Bay3
b: SAS RAID Controller supports nearline SAS disk, which have features similar to SATA disks. The SAS RAID Controller
Module does not support SATA disks
c: SAS RAID Controller should be used with the SAS Expansion Card (CFFv) for IBM BladeCenter (39Y9190), the SAS
Connectivity Card (CFFv) for IBM BladeCenter (43W3974) or the SAS Connectivity Card (CIOv) for IBM BladeCenter
(43W4068) as appropriate by blade type specified elsewhere in this document (current pages 14-15).
d: One Battery Backup Unit is shipped / packaged with each SAS RAID Controller
e: External storage or host attachment via the external SAS ports on the SAS RAID Controller is not supported.
f: Check the SAS RAID Module Interoperability Guide for Tape and hard drive support options.
5. BCE chassis came standard with the Management Module, not the Advanced Management Module (AMM).
6. When using BCE chassis with SAS Connectivity module (39Y9195), you must also have a AMM installed in the chassis.
7. 44W4479 is a four port 1GB Ethernet adapter. It requires the MSIM in the BC-H or MSIM-HT in the BC-HT and an ethernet
switch in the left and right side of the MSIMs or up to 4 IBM Virtual Fabric 10Gb (46C7191) or Cisco Nexus 4001i
(46M6071) high-speed switch modules.
8. BC-H and BC-HT now supports four IBM 6-port 10Gb Ethernet Switches (39Y9267) when combined with Broadcom
4 port 10GB card (44W4465)
9. Power supplies 3 and 4 are required when installing a switch module into Bays 5 through 10
10. Supports only aMM
11. Supported in BC-S chassis bay 1 or bay 2 with a CFFh Ethernet card
12. Switch is NEBS Level 3 compliant in respective chassis. Reports are available upon request.
13. Link Aggregation is not supported with the SOL ethernet port on JS and PS blades.
A Brocade SAN Switch Module for BladeCenter or any other Brocade switch or director utilizing the Fabric OS
Access Gateway mode can connect to an INCITS T11 NPIV compliant device. The Brocade Access Gateway
mode was designed to adhere to this standard. In addition, any INCITS T11 NPIV compliant device can connect
to a Brocade switch or director that supports NPIV connectivity. Brocade does not test or make a discreet
statement of support for any other vendor’s devices. Brocade will assist IBM with problem determination for
compliant configurations.
