2 Quick Reference
o AWS3172
The current AWS3172 module will be replaced by three
modules, LAN3172, MGR3172 and WAN3172 to look like
the real 3172 mod 3 in terms of its three base
components.
- LAN3172
Provides the base Link Services Architecture
(LSA) Peripheral and SubArea LAN 802.2
Interconnect function through VTAM. Multiple
SNA/LSA Subchannel addresses can be specified and
multiple LAN adapters will be supported through a
single SNA/LSA address.
- MGR3172
Provides the NetView Box Manager function for use
with NetView in VM and MVS environments.
- WAN3172
Provides 3172 SNA Interconnect capability to the
VTAM XCA major node by mapping LSA LAN adapters
to SDLC communications using either WAC or
ARTIC/Portmaster Adapter/A lines in a MVS
environment. The intent is to provide SDLC
connections to MVS VTAM which would otherwise
require a 37x5 NCP/PEP. SDLC will support leased
point to point, dial in point to point or
multidropped. Only dialed in connections are
supported.
o AWSCKD
Provides extended count key data DASD emulation for
3390/9345/ECKD which includes 3380 triple dense
connected to a 3880 model 3 control unit. In
addition DASD emulation for 3330/3350 devices will be
provided including track overflow. CKD read only
support will be supported for various DASD devices.
o AWSPBS
Provides support for both SDLC and BiSYNC protocol on
PC Server S/390 utilizing the ARTIC/Portmaster/A
adapter as an Integrated Communication Adapter (ICA).
Both SDLC and BiSYNC can reside simultaneously on the
same adapter card. Synchronous modes may be
individually selected for each of the eight ports.
Any of the 8 ports can be configured for either SDLC
or BiSYNC at data rates from 1200 to 19,200 bps. All
ports are independently capable of maximum data
rates. In addition, Autodial V.25 bis will be
supported. SDLC is used to transmit EBCDIC code in a
SNA network whereas BiSYNC can transmit both EBCDIC
or ASCII code. Transmission exchanges are supported
in half-duplex mode only. Both SDLC and BiSYNC will
support point-to-point switched, point-to-point
non-switched, or multidropped.
Chapter 1. PC Server S/390 Enhancements 3
o AWSICA
Provides support for either SDLC or BiSYNC function
over a wide area network using the Wide Area
Connector (WAC) adapter. Both switched and
non-switched RS-232 and V.35 communication lines and
non-switched X.21 are supported along with Autodial
V.25 bis. The maximum data rate supported will be
2.048 Mbps. The WAC adapter will provide up to 2
ports per card with maximum of 4 cards per system.
o AWS2821
The device manager will include the use of a control
file. The control file is a simple OS/2 ASCII file,
created with any OS/2 editor which will contain basic
control lines. The user will have the ability to
send control characters to the PC printer, before
printing any output. This will allow the printer to
receive controls such as rotating output, selecting
character set and being able to print in duplex mode.

OTHER NOTES
FCC Classification
All models of the PC Server S/390 are certified as
meeting FCC CLASS A requirements. "Class A" devices are
intended for use in a "Business Environment", rather than
in a "Residential Environment".
RAID Adapter Cache
Array models come with the IBM Streaming RAID Adapter
which includes 4 MB of RAM, of which more than 3M is
available for Caching. Non-Array model does not have
cache on the SCSI adapter.
MEMORY OPTIONS
______________
PC Server / Pentium Memory:
In general, any PC Server S/390 being used primarily or
exclusively for S/390 processing (no significant OS/2
workload) will not require any additional PC memory. If
the PC Server S/390 is to do any significant OS/2 based
work (such as a LAN Server), additional PC memory may be
required to support that workload.
+--- NOTE: --------------------------------------------+
| |
| All Pentium/Server memory must be installed in |
| matched pairs of SIMMS. For 32M total expansion, use |
| 2 16M SIMMs rather than 1 32M SIMM. |
| |
+-------------------------------------------------------+
The PC Server S/390 has a total of 8 memory sockets, with
two of these occupied by the standard 32M of memory (2 x
16MB). SIMM sizes can be mixed as long as each 'pair' of
SIMMs is the same size.
92G7209 16MB 70ns ECC memory kit (use sets of 2)
92G7210 32MB 70ns ECC memory kit (use sets of 2)
6 Quick Reference
S/390 Processor Memory
We recommend configuring PC Server S/390 systems with
more S/390 memory than might normally be expected because
of the I/O characteristics. Large S/390 memory sizes
allow the use of "data in memory" techniques and reduces
paging activity, both of which will usually improve
system performance significantly.
Additional S/390 memory comes on a 'daughter card' that
attaches to the S/390 Microprocessor complex card. The
96M daughter card occupies an adjacent Micro Channel slot
(for power only)
26H2931 32MB ECC memory Expansion for S/390
26H2978 96MB ECC memory Expansion for S/390 (occupies
adjacent MC slot) This memory card is included
and preinstalled on the -MYF and -MYC models.
WIDE AREA NETWORK (WAN) ADAPTERS
________________________________
The following adapters and parts may be used to provide
WAN services via SDLC and BSC communication facilities.
92G7516 MultiProtocol Adapter/A: Provides SDLC port
(up to 19,200 bps), useful for remote SNA
connection. Supported on VM and VSE as an ICA
(Integrated Communications Adapter) port. Not
supported on MVS systems. (Comm adapter cable
for MultiProtocol: 1502067) (Before using the
MultiProtocol Adapter card, consider the WAC
(below) for improved performance and
expandability.)
33G846X Wide Area Connector: One card with multiple
'personalities' to support up to two
communications lines at up to 2.048M bps. Max
of 4 WAC cards per system. Can support:
RS-232, V.35, X.21, interfaces and can connect
to various services such as DDS, SW-56, ISDN
Basic, T-1, E-1, and Fractional T-1. (Part
numbers vary depending on type of interface
required:
o 33G8465 = EIA RS232 (up to 19,200 bps)
o 33G8466 = V.35 ( typically 56Kb )
o 33G8467 = X.21 (packet switched
protocol)
The base adapter (part numbers just above)
provides one communications port or line. An
Chapter 2. System Units 7
additional interface and connecting cable is
required to provide the second line. The part
numbers for this interface/connector are:
o 33G8461 = EIA RS232 Interface & connector
o 33G8462 = V.35 Interface & connector
o 33G8463 = X.21 Interface & connector
The base adapter and expansion interface can be
mixed types. For example, you can use a
33G6466 (V.35) base adapter with a 33G8461
(RS-232) expansion interface.
+--- NOTE: ----------------------------------+
| |
| * Please note that the PC Server S/390 only |
| provides support for RS-232 and V.35 |
| (switched or non-switched) and X.21 |
| (non-switched only). |
| |
+---------------------------------------------+
The WAC adapter with AWSICA provides either
SDLC of BSC support for VM and VSE systems.
Lines which run at 19.2 Kbs or less normally
use the RS-232 interface while lines running at
56Kbs or greater normally use the V.35
interface. Since the WAC plus AWSICA emulate an
ICA, this combination cannot be used on MVS
systems. For MVS systems, the WAN3172 device
manager can be used to support the WAC adapter
as an SNA VTAM XCA Port.
PORTMASTER/A The "IBM Realtime Interface Co-Processor
Portmaster Adapter/A" (Portmaster) provides up
to 8 SDLC or BSC lines per adapter. For VM and
VSE systems it is supported by either the
AWSPBS manager or the WAN3172 manager. For MVS
systems, the WAN3172 manager must be used. In
any of these systems, each Portmaster adapter
can support up to 8 lines (each line up to 19.2
Kbps) with a maximum of 2 Portmaster adapters
per system. The AWSPBS manager (VM and VSE)
supports either SDLC or BSC, or a mixture
(WAN3172 only supports SDLC). Multiple parts
are required for each Portmaster installation.
The following is a typical configuration for
the PC Server S/390

LAN ADAPTERS
____________
There are many LAN Adapters types offered by IBM, and
even more from other manufacturers.
+--- GENERAL GUIDELINE --------------------------------+
| |
| If you are not sure what kind of LAN adapter to get, |
| choose one of the ...Streamer MC 32 adapters. They |
| are good performance ones appropriate for use on the |
| PC Server S/390 |
| |
+-------------------------------------------------------+
Token Ring Adapters
60G1592 Auto LANStreamer MC 32 Adapter: A good,

TERMINOLOGY
This document will use the following terminology when
referring to the PC Server S/390 configuration:
SLOT A MicroChannel slot on the system board into
which a MicroChannel adapter is inserted.
BAY A position in the front of the system into
which a single device (hard drive, tape unit,
CDROM, etc.) can be inserted.
BANK A group of similar 'Bays'.
The Bays and Banks are arranged and 'named' in the
following manner.
BANK A Bank A consists of bays A1 and A2 which come
with the 2.88 MB diskette drive and CDROM drive
installed.
BANK B Bank B Consists of bays B1 and B2. These come
with the DAT tape drive and the 'glove box'
installed.
BANK C Bank C is the first 'hard drive' bank with bays
C1 - C6. The base (standard) hard drives will
be installed in this bank and bay C1 will be
'blocked' since the DAT tape uses the SCSI
address that would normally be used by a hard
drive in C1. All models include a hot-swap
backplane installed in this bank.
BANK D Bank D is the second hard drive bank with bays
D1 - D6. All six bays are available for use.
The 'MYC' model comes with the backplane for
this bank preinstalled.
(C) Copyright IBM Corp. 1995 11
BANK E Bank E is the third hard drive bank with bays
E1 - E6. All six bays are available for use.
The 'MYC' model comes with the backplane for
this bank preinstalled.
INTERNAL
Maximum of 17 internal hard drives (with 1 inch form
factor). Expanding beyond 5 drives (into bank 'D')
requires additional Power Supply and a 'drive bay
Backplane'. Expanding into the third bank (more than 11
drives) requires another backplane. (Note: The 'MYC'
model has the power supply and both optional backplanes
preinstalled.) ICPA and PS-CFG will properly configure
power supply, backplanes and additional RAID/SCSI
adapters.
HARD DRIVES
94G2650 2.25GB SCSI Fast & Wide: 7ms access, 7200 RPM.
This will be the 'standard' drive for most
customers.
OTHERS Other drives may be used for specialized
applications. Check with your Server
Specialist.
94G2649 1.12GB SCSI Fast & Wide: 7ms access,
7200 RPM. This will generally only be used in
special situations, possibly to provide more
r/w 'heads' for maximum performance.
94G2651 4.51GB SCSI Fast & Wide: 8ms access,
7200 RPM. 1.6 inch form factor, (only 3 drives
per hard drive bank). May be useful in special
applications.
EXTERNAL DASD ENCLOSURES
________________________
Some users of the PC Server S/390 will find that they
need more disk storage capacity than the 30 Gigabytes
(useable, RAID-5) which is available within the system
unit. For these users, the solution may be an external
expansion enclosure. This section will provide an
introduction to the available expansion enclosures and
show some sample configurations.

There are currently four external expansion units
available from IBM
o 3511
o 3516
o 3517 (SCSI Multi-Storage Enclosure)
o 3518 (Enterprise Expansion Enclosure)
The 3511 and 3516 are being phased out in favor of the
3517 and 3518. Anyone considering the use of a 3511 or
3516 should ensure the components are available prior to
final commitment to these units.
All the expansion units and configurations discussed
below will assume the appropriate number of external SCSI
(RAID) connectors are available on the main system unit
to support the expansion configurations. Each
configuration will include the appropriate number of SCSI
cables to connect the external unit to the system unit.
Although all of these enclosures can accept multiple disk
types, we will only discuss 2.25 GB and 4.5 GB disks, as
these are the ones most likely to be used in this
environment.
3511:
The 3511 is a flexible unit that can accept several disk
types, but it is also relatively complex to configure and
requires significant assembly. The 3511 is NOT a
Hot/Swap capable unit. The maximum storage capacity
(effective RAID-5) of a 3511 using 4.5 GB disks is 22.5
GB. Components of the 3511 typically include:
35110V0 The actual floor standing enclosure
03H3231 SCSI F/W connector to SCSI F/W External Option
cable
06H3153 Upgrade 3511 to SCSI-Wide capable (2 required)
94G2648 Drive installation kit (one per hard drive)
Chapter 3. DASD and Adapters 13
VARIOUS Disk Drives
07H0387 2.25 GB disk drive (max of 6 per
3511)
07H0834 4.5 GB disk drive (max of 6 per 3511)
SAMPLE CONFIGURATION
35110V0 Base Enclosure unit
03H3231 SCSI F/W connection cable
06H3153 Convert internal connections to Fast/Wide (2
required)
94G2648 Hard Drive installation Kit (6; one per hard
drive)
07H0834 4.5GB Hard drive 8ms access time
3516:
The 3516 is a popular, hot/swap capable expansion unit
that can accept up to 7 hard drives. It is relatively
simple to configure and install. The maximum storage
capacity (effective RAID-5) of a 3516 using 2.25 GB disks
is 13.5 GB. (Due to configuration and availability
considerations, the 2.25 GB drive is the only one likely
to be used in a 3516.) Components of the 3516 typically
include:
35167V0 The actual floor standing or desk-top enclosure
06H3231 SCSI F/W connector to SCSI F/W external option
cable
94G3346 How/Swap tray; one needed per hard drive
07H0387 2.25 GB disk drive (max of 7 per 3516)
SAMPLE CONFIGURATION
35167V0 Base Enclosure unit
06H3231 SCSI F/W connection cable
94G3346 Hot/Swap tray installation Kit (7: one per
hard drive)
07H0387 2.25GB Hard drive 8ms access time (7 drives)
3517, SCSI Multi-Storage Enclosure:
The 3517 is a new hot/swap capable expansion that uses
the new Tray type III. It will accommodate up to five
2.25GB or 4.5GB hot/swap drives. It is very easy to
configure and install. The maximum hot/swap storage
capacity (effective RAID-5) of a 3517 using 4.5 GB disks
is 18.0 GB. In addition to the Hot/Swap hard drives, up
14 Quick Reference
to two additional SCSI devices can be installed in the
3517. This can be used for additional 4mm DAT tape
drives or non-Hot/Swap hard drives. By using these
non-hot/swap drive bays for additional 4.5 GB disk
drives, total useable (RAID-5) capacity can be extended
to 27GB. Components of the 3517 might typically include:
3517001 The actual floor standing or desk-top
enclosure
06H3231 SCSI F/W connector to SCSI F/W option cable
74G8631 4MM DAT tape drive
VARIOUS Hard disk drives
70G9862 2.25 GB SCSI-II Fast/Wide Hot Swap
high performance HD-III (max 5)
70G9863 4.5 GB SCSI-II Fast/Wide Hot Swap
high performance HD-III (max 5)
94G3055 2.25 GB SCSI drive for use in
non-Hot/Swap drive bays (max 2)
94G3057 4.5 GB SCSI drive for use in
non-Hot/Swap drive bays (max 2)
SAMPLE CONFIGURATION
This configuration will provide a total of 22.5 GB
useable (RAID-5) disk space plus one 4mm DAT tape drive.
One of the 4.5GB drives will not be non-hot/swap. The
4mm DAT is in addition to the one which comes standard
with the PC Server S/390
3517001 Base Multi-SCSI expansion unit
06H3231 SCSI F/W connection cable
70G9863 4.5GB SCSI-II Fast/Wide HD-III hard disk drive
(5 drives)
74G8631 4MM DAT tape drive
94G3057 4.5 GB SCSI drive for use in non-Hot/Swap drive
bay
3518, Enterprise Expansion Enclosure
The 3518 is a new enclosure which uses the same frame and
layout as the PC Server 500/520 family. In addition to
the three banks of hot/swap hard drive bays, it can also
accomodate two half-high or one full-hight 5.25" drive
(such as CD-ROM drives or Tape drives). Each hard drive
bank can accomodate either 6 slim-height drives (1.12GB
or 2.25GB) or 3 half-height drives (4.5GB). Two of the
banks can be 'daisy-chained' to provide up to six
half-height drives on a single SCSI channel. Using a
combination of two SCSI channels and both 2.25GB and
4.5GB hard drives, a total of 33.75GB of useable (RAID-5)
Chapter 3. DASD and Adapters 15
hot/swap disk capacity can be provided. Between the PC
Server S/390 unit itself, the 3518, RAID/SCSI Adapter
considerations, internal/external SCSI connectors, DASD
Array layouts, disk sizes and capacities, and system
performance, configuration of this must consider many
different aspects. Anyone not very familiar with these
systems are urged to seek trained server personnel for
assistance. Some of the components of the Enterprise
Expansion Enclosure:
3518001 The actual floor standing enclosure
06H3231 SCSI F/W connector to SCSI F/W option cable
(may require multiple)
74G8631 4MM DAT tape drive for use in non-hot/swap bays
70G9864 Backplane to media bay cable: connects devices
in top 'media bay' to the first H/S backplane.
94G4070 Backplane to backplane cable (to "daisy-chain"
two backplanes into one SCSI channel)
70G9876 Cable to connect 2nd or 3rd backplane to
external SCSI port
70G9855 Hot/Swap Backplane III (required when using
hard drives in the 2nd and 3rd banks) Not
interchangable with PC Server 500 backplanes.
70G9739 Power Supply upgrade: required when expanding
beyond the top bank of hard drives
VARIOUS Hard disk drives
70G9862 2.25 GB SCSI-II Fast/Wide Hot Swap
high performance HD-III (max of 6 per
bank)
70G9863 4.5 GB SCSI-II Fast/Wide Hot Swap
high performance HD-III (max of 3 per
bank)
SAMPLE CONFIGURATION
This configuration will provide a total of 33.75GB
useable (RAID-5) disk space plus one 4mm DAT tape drive.
All hard drives will be hot/swap. Two SCSI channels will
be required to support this configuration.
3518001 Base Enterprise Expansion Enclosure
06H3231 SCSI F/W connection cable (2 required)
70G9862 2.25GB SCSI-II Fast/Wide HD-III hard disk drive
(6 drives) will be used in the first hard drive
bank.
16 Quick Reference
70G9863 4.5GB SCSI-II Fast/Wide HD-III hard disk drive
(6 drives) will be used in the 2nd and 3rd hard
drive banks
74G8631 4MM DAT tape drive for use in non-hot/swap bays
70G9864 Backplane to media bay cable: required to
connect the tape drive to the backplane and

CHAPTER 4. OTHER COMPONENTS
____________________________
Some other components that may be needed or useful.
TAPES
There are several forms of tape support for the PC Server
S/390:
4MM DAT: The 4mm DAT drive is included with every PC
Server S/390 It can be used by OS/2 using normal device
drivers. Or, it can be used by the S/390 operating
system using the SCSI34x0 device manager. The SCSI3480
driver makes the 4mm DAT appear to the S/390 system as a
3480 device, with the added benefit of the 4 - 10 GB
capacity of the DAT.
HURON ATTACHED TAPE DRIVES: The S/370 Channel Emulator/A
(HURON) adapter can be used to attach 'real' 34x0 tape
devices, such as 3420, 3480 and 3490. In this manner,
the tape drives can be used by the S/390 system just as
on a ES/9000 system, except for the performance
implications of the HURON adapter.
SCSI ATTACHED (OEM) TAPE DRIVES: Another alternative is
to attach OEM produced 3420/3480/3490 media compatible
tape drives via the SCSI channel on the PC Server S/390
These devices are typically 'desktop' sized and range in
price from about $3000 (3420) to $14000 (3490E). The
performance levels will also vary considerably, with the
higher cost models providing very good performance
(comparable to parallel channel on a ES/9000). One of
these devices will require a SCSI address on an external
SCSI channel/connection. On RAID systems it may be
appropriate to add a SCSI F/W adapter to provide this
connection rather than use the external RAID channel.
The 3490 (and 3490E) compatible SCSI tape drives must be
defined to the S/390 Operating System running on the PC
Server S/390 as a 3480 with IDRC (compaction). In this
manner they will provide most of the 3490E capabilities,
but some of the extended functions may be limited or not
available. The following tape drives have been tested
and are currently supported for use with the SCSI3480.SYS
driver:
o 3480 18 track
- Fujitsu M2481, M2483, M2485
- Overland Data C480, C490
(C) Copyright IBM Corp. 1995 19
o 4mm
- IBM 4/10 GB (74G8631 or 74G8632), 55F9428
It is worthwhile noting that the IBM Brand 3490 SCSI
models CANNOT be used on the PC Server S/390. The IBM
3490 requires a 'differential' SCSI interface while the
PC Server S/390 provides a 'single-ended' SCSI interface.
The following tape drives have been tested and are
currently supported for use with the SCSI3420.SYS driver:
o 3420 9 track
- M4 Data 9914
- Overland Data 5512, 5612, TR995
- Qualstar 1260S, 3404S, 3412S, 3414S, 3418S
o 4mm
- IBM 4/10 GB (74G8631 or 74G8632), 55F9428
+--- NOTE: --------------------------------------------+
| |
| When purchasing a SCSI attached OEM tape drive |
| through a vendor you should make sure the vendor |
| understands and has experience with the PC Server |
| S/390 and that the specific device manufacturer, |
| model, and version has been shown to work with the PC |
| Server S/390 |
| |
+-------------------------------------------------------+
DISPLAYS
IBM markets two lines of quality color displays suitable
for use with the PC Server S/390 The Professional ('P')
series is a very high quality line which is recommended
when the system display is going to be used intensively.
The General Purpose ('G') series is a quality line of
displays.
Because of the high use of 'windows' and the GUI, we
recommend at least a 15" display. If the display is
going to be used extensively, a 17" display is highly
recommended.
6553-503 15" "Professional" series. 1280x1024, Non
Interlaced, Multi-Frequency .26mm dot pitch.
DDC1 and DDC2B complient.
6554-603 17" "Professional" series. 1600x1200, Non
Interlaced, Multi-Frequency .26mm dot pitch.
Recommended best all-around display for use
with the PC Server S/390.

UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SUPPLIES (UPS)
Every PC Server S/390 should have a UPS. Period. At
these price points, a UPS has to be one of the best
'values' in the industry. For base servers, a 700 watt
UPS will provide power for at about 20 minutes. For
larger configurations, a 1000 or 1400 watt UPS may be
appropriate. 20 minutes of protection will be sufficient
to cover most power outages and allow time for a clean
shutdown, if necessary.
94G3134 APC Smart-UPS 700. 4 outlets
94G3135 APC Smart-UPS 1000. 6 outlets
94G3136 APC Smart-UPS 1400. 6 outlets
The following table is summarized from APC's marketing
material for their Smart-UPS UPS models when used with
IBM PC Servers. The first row would apply to a PC Server
500 S/390 that has only the primary 434 Watt power supply
and is drawing full power (implying five hard drives in
Bank C). The second row assumes full population with hard
drives in banks C, D, and E and the required installation
of the secondary 220 Watt power supply.

model.)
70G9740 Hot/Swap Backplane and cables. One needed for
each drive hard drive bank used beyond first
(C). Each additional backplane accommodates 6
disk drives. (Both optional backplanes are
included in the MYC model.)
70G8498 SCSI Fast & Wide Adapter: For non-Array
systems. A SCSI adapter will generally be
needed for each drive bank or backplane. Has
external connector for use with external drive
tower or device (such as a SCSI tape drive).
70G9263 Additional Streaming RAID Adapter: Additional
RAID adapter needed when expanding into third
drive bank. (Each RAID adapter controls up to
two banks or 12 drives.)

CHAPTER 5. DIAL-IN ACCESS
__________________________
Many customers have asked how to configure the PC Server
S/390 to support dial-in access via phone lines. Typical
uses would include 'work-at-home', mobile users, and
off-site demo capabilities. While there are a number of
ways to accomplish the dial-in objective, most users will
also want full LAN connectivity to allow access to other
resources on the LAN which the PC Server S/390 is
connected to. IBM offers two types of products to
accomplish this full dial-in LAN connection while
allowing 3270 emulation access to the PC Server S/390
1. LAN Distance is primarily a 'software' solution that
can run on the PC Server S/390 or any other suitable
system on the LAN.
2. The 8235/DIALs product is primarily a 'hardware'
solution that attaches to the LAN with little or no
impact on the PC Server S/390 or other systems on the
LAN.
Both products have corresponding programs that run in the
remote workstations to provide the dial-in and connection
capabilities. A more detailed description of each
product and the specific hardware and software products
required follows.
LAN DISTANCE
+--- NOTE: -------------------------------------------+
| |
| The Lan Distance product is being withdrawn from |
| marketing effective April 26, 1996 (see announcement |
| letter 996-059). The program will still be supported |
| and is available as part of the "Warp Server" and |
| "Warp Connect" products. Although it is being |
| formerly withdrawn, you may be able to find copies |
| available via IBM resellers. |
| |
+-------------------------------------------------------+
The LAN Distance Server component runs on the PC Server
S/390 or other suitable PC on the LAN. Remote users dial
into modems connected to either the standard PC serial
ports or to multi-port adapters such as the 'Artic
Multiport/2'. It provides extensive security protection
and supports all popular communication protocols and
connectivities. Once connected to the LAN Distance
(C) Copyright IBM Corp. 1995 23
server, remote users have all the facilities of the LAN,
as though locally connected to the LAN (except, of
course, for the difference in communication speeds).
Many different configurations are possible, with up to
128 concurrent users. Here is a somewhat typical
configuration that would support up to 8 concurrent users
at speeds up to 28,800 bps.

Each remote user must also install and use a copy of LAN
Distance Remote, at a cost of $69. per remote
workstation. LAN Distance Remote is available for OS/2
and Windows 3.1 users.
While this configuration is believed to be correct, all
customers should verify that any configuration ordered
will operate correctly. If you plan to run the LAN
Distance Server on a PC Server S/390, we recommend using
a separate LAN Adapter port for LAN Distance. A
Dual-ported LAN adapter works well for this purpose.
24 Quick Reference
8235 'DIAL IN ACCESS TO LANS' (DIALS)
The 8235 product offers a independent unit that has it's
own built-in LAN adapter connection and supports either
internal or external modems for remote users to dial
into. A full range of security features are available,
including support for dialback and a TACAS client for DCE
Kerberos users. Once connected to the 8235, remote users
have full use ot the LAN environment which the 8235 is a
part of. A Wide range of configurations are possible,
for both Ethernet and Token Ring LANs, supporting many
different protocols and connection methods. Using the
internal modems, multiple 8235 units can be stacked
together, providing a very compact installation.
A typical configuration to support up to 8 concurrent
dial in 28.8 kbps connections would be:

+----------+----------------------+-------+----------+----------+
Each remote user must also install and use a copy of the
DIALs remote client program. There is no charge for
using as many copies of the client program as needed.
Remote users connect to the host network and work in
their OS/2, Windows, Windows 95, DOS, Macintosh, or UNIX
environment with no retraining or changes to their
applications
While this configuration is believed to be correct, all
customers should verify that any configuration ordered
will operate correctly.
Chapter 5. Dial-In Access 25
IN ADDITION...
Both products offer multiple other features and
capabilities, such as WAN and inter-LAN connections,
Dial-out, remote administration, and choice of protocols
(IPX, TCP/IP, SNA, X.25, NetBIOS, 802.2, NetBEUI). Since
these products supply only the 'connection services',
each remote workstation must have it's own application
programs such as:
1. Communications Manager/2 for 3270
connection/emulation for OS/2
2. PC/3270 for 3270 connection/emulation for DOS/Windows
3. LAN Requestor to be a user/requestor on a LAN Server
network

CHAPTER 9. PC SERVER S/390 ORDER CHECKLIST
___________________________________________
Use this simple checklist to help order a system and make
sure all needed components are included in the order.
This is not intended to cover all possible systems and
there may be good reasons to differ from the sequence and
suggestions herein.
System Unit
CHOOSE MODEL:
o Need Array system? (Recommended).
__
- If small system or less than 128MB of S/390
__
memory, select 8641-MYS
- If large system, choose 8641-MYC
__
o If non-array appropriate: 8641-NYV
__
S/390 MEMORY: Choose total S/390 memory size: Select
additional memory required: 32MB or 96MB card.
o 32MB (Base): Most VSE, small VM, very limited use
__
MVS
o 64MB (32MB additional): Larger VSE, moderate VM,
__
and smaller MVS
o 128MB (96MB additional): Memory intensive VSE,
__
large VM, most MVS
SERVER MEMORY: Choose total PC Memory size:
o 32MB (base): Sufficient for "S/390 only" systems.
__
o Additional: Add additional PC Memory to support
__
PC Server functions. For light LAN Server
workload, add 32MB; for moderate to heavy LAN
workload, add 64MB or more. If using DataBase
oriented applications such as DB2/2, consider 128
- 256 MB total PC memory. (Special emphasis on
using memory to reduce I/O activity.)
You should normally select SIMM configuration that
miminizes the total number of SIMMs.
(C) Copyright IBM Corp. 1995 47
I/O Devices
DASD:
Most customers will use additional 2.25GB drives.
o Use Disk Configuration Aid at end of this
__
checklist for assistance
o Determine total actual data GB required
__
o If Array model, adjust for redundant data
__
'overhead'
o If Array model, 'over-configure' to allow capacity
__
for growth without disrupting ARRAYs.
o Order hard drives to meet GB requirements
__
o Additional Power supply? (beyond 1st drive bank)
__
o Additional Backplanes? (2nd and 3rd drive banks)
__
o Additional SCSI or RAID Controller(s)?
__
LAN ADAPTERS
o Token Ring:? Auto LANStreamer, Dual LANStreamer
__
o Ethernet: EtherStreamer, Dual EtherStreamer, Quad
__
Peermaster
- Media: 10-Base-T (unshielded twisted pair) or
10-Base-2 (thin Coax) ?
o ATM, etc?
__
o LAN Cables / connectors?
__
One LAN-adapter / port will be sufficient for most S/390
only usage. For LAN based workload, add sufficient
TokenRing or Ethernet ports to process that workload.
WAN ADAPTERS:
For SDLC / BSC communications via VTAM, etc.
o Wide Area Connector(WAC) RS-232, V.35, up to 2 lines
o Multi-Port Adapter/2 RS-232, V.35 up to 8 or 6 lines
per adapter
OTHER I/O
o S/370 Channel Emulator/A ? (attach S/370 type I/O
__
Devices)
AVAILABILITY
o UPS: Every PC Server S/390 should have a UPS.
__
Should size UPS to provide approximately 20
minutes run battery time:
- APC Smart-UPS 700: Smaller systems, up to 5
drives
- APC Smart-UPS 1000: Medium systems, up to 11
drives
- APC Smart-UPS 1400: Larger systems, or longer
battery run time.
48 Quick Reference
o ServerGuard: Very useful for remotely operated
__
systems. Allows remote monitoring
shutdown/power-up control.
Displays
o Size: 14, 15, 17"
__
o General ('G') or Pro ('P') series
__
DISK CONFIGURATION AID
The following table is intended to assist in determining
Hard Drive configurations. It is based on following
assumptions:
o Uses 2.25 GB Drives only
o RAID configurations assume RAID-5
o Configurations are for maximum capacity, not maximum
performance
o External enclosure configurations not shown

50 Quick Reference
* These configurations represent the 'crossover'
points where additional arrays are required to be
defined. In 'normal' configurations this would
require additional equipment (and expense) with no
corresponding increase in capacity. There may,
however, be cases where such a configuration would
be appropriate.
Non-RAID Systems
Use this chart to help configure non-array systems.
