1.3.1 Processor features
The p5-520 features one or two POWER5+ processors, each with one or two cores running at
1.65 GHz, 1.9 GHz, or 2.1 GHz, or the p5-520Q with four cores running at 1.5 GHz or
1.65 GHz. The processors are installed on either single-core modules (SCM), dual-core
modules (DCM), or quad-core modules (QCM). The POWER5+ processor modules are
mounted directly to the system planar. Table 1-4 on page 7 lists the available processor
features.
