The IBM 9401 is an Application System/400 that
consists of two versions, both for single- and multi-user environments. One is
a Portable AS/400 version. The other is an AS/400 Advanced Entry version.
(For IBM US, No Longer Available as of July
26, 1995)
The 9401-P02 Portable One base system has 8MB
of memory, 1GB of direct access storage devices (DASD) and one communications
line. The P02 is expandable to 16MB of memory and 2GB of DASD. It can be used
for development and testing of new applications, as well as training and
customer support activities consistent with supporting multiple, remote or
distributed systems. The 9401-P02 is in the B5 processor group for processor
based software charges.
The Portable One Model P02 comes preloaded
with OS/400 Version 2 Release 3.
The IBM 9401 is an Application System/400 that
consists of two versions, both for single- and multi-user environments. One is
a Portable AS/400 version. The other is an AS/400 Advanced Entry version.
The 9401 Model P02 System Unit contains the
following:
The IBM 9401 Application System/400 Portable
is an AS/400 system unit designed for the single- and multi-user environments.
Its compact size and portability allow for easy transportation of the system
between work and other locations. AS/400 software that currently operates on
the 9402, 9404 and 9406 will run on the Portable system. This includes the more
than 20,000 applications currently available for the AS/400 system, including
client/server applications. Approximately the size and weight of a fully packed
attache case, the AS/400 Portable comes with a carrying case that can hold the
system and a notebook computer. The IBM ThinkPad and other notebook computers
are supported. The hard-sided case, with the added benefit of wheels and a
handle, may be checked as airline luggage. To meet the IBM protection standard
for shipping, it is significantly larger than the soft-sided case. Any
twinaxial device supported by the AS/400 system may also be used as a
workstation.
The Multi-Function I/O Processor provides
support for the service processor, integrated disk storage, external tape and
one communication adapter.
The base workstation controller provides
support for attachment of up to three twinaxial devices on a single port.
Personal computers with 5250 emulation capability, including the IBM ThinkPad,
and other notebook computers that support the IBM 5250 Emulation PCMCIA Adapter
(#2808, P/N 92G5360), are supported.
Note: The PCMCIA adapter is not included.
Preloaded OS/400 Version 2 Release 3.
OS/400 Version 2 Release 3 is preloaded to
save installation time. Additional AS/400 software may be ordered at the
Processor-Based Group B5 prices. Additional applications can be installed by
utilizing an optional external 1/4-inch cartridge tape drive, or via
communications.
Full Function AS/400
The IBM AS/400 Portable One is a full-function
AS/400 designed to meet the needs of customers who require a single user system
that is easily transportable and can also run a wide range of AS/400
applications, including client/server.
The Portable One can also be used for
development and testing of new applications, as well as training and customer
support activities consistent with supporting multiple, remote or distributed
systems.
Standard twinaxial-attached devices are also
supported on the 9401. Examples of these are the IBM 3486, 3487 or 3488
displays and the 4028 or 4230 printers. These will attach to the 9401 via any
supported IBM cabling including twinaxial cable, the IBM cabling system or
telephone twisted pair cabling systems.
The standard communication port on the
Portable One can be used with IBM's Electronic Customer Support facility. The
adapter is equipped with an EIA 232/V.24 enhanced cable that provides
attachment of an IBM 5853, 7855 or equivalent modem. This cable also allows the
system to be remotely powered on via a telephone call to the Electronic
Customer Support modem. The IBM 5853 and 7855 modems are designed to work with
this remote power-on capability. IBM has not tested other V.32 9600 bps modems
and these V.32 modems may not work with the remote power-on capability.
Small Light-weight Package
The Portable One is approximately the size and
weight of a fully packed attache case. Its carrying case can hold both the
Portable One and a notebook computer. For proper operation, the Portable One
must be placed in a vertical position. A special base is provided to facilitate
this.
Into this small, lightweight package, IBM has
packed full AS/400 capabilities. The Portable One's lightweight and compact
carrying case allows it to be easily transported by car or airplane, thereby
saving shipping costs and eliminating possible delivery delays.
This system can pass through most airport
x-ray carry-on luggage inspection equipment. However, magnetic inspection
equipment may damage components or cause loss of magnetically stored data and
software. If in doubt whether the magnetic inspection equipment is
"computer safe," ask the inspector.
If manual inspection is requested and it is
necessary to power up the system:
Initial Program Load (IPL) should not be
necessary to complete the inspection, but if attempted, will require a console
display to be attached and may take at least ten or more minutes to complete.
Disruption of IPL by unplugging or turning the system off before completion may
cause a longer than usual next IPL.
Device Attachability
Any twinaxial devices and adapters currently
supported by the AS/400 system are attachable to the AS/400 Portable One as
workstations and printers. Computers supported by the IBM 5250 Emulation PCMCIA
Adapter, (#2808, P/N 92G5360), including the IBM ThinkPad portable computers,
may be attached to provide the best portability.
Note: The PCMCIA adapter is not included.
The single twinaxial workstation interface
includes three addresses. Configuration flexibility allows up to three
twinaxial devices with one session each or a multi-session-capable workstation
using all three addresses.
Two cables are provided for the attachment of
twinaxial devices. Connection of the AS/400 Portable One to standard twinaxial
cabling is by an 18-inch" (450mm) D shell to standard twinaxial connector
adapter cable. Using the standard twinaxial cabling, all of the functions of
the cabling system are available. Also provided is a direct connection to the
IBM 5250 Emulation PCMCIA Adapter (#2808, P/N 92G5360). This is a special
18-inch (450mm) D shell to D shell cable. Using this special cable and the
cabling attached to the IBM 5250 Emulation PCMCIA Adapter, the workstation can
be placed about 2 meters away from the AS/400 Portable One.
Note: The PCMCIA adapter is not included.
To prepare a personal computer, including the
IBM ThinkPad, with PC Support/400 for connection to the AS/400 Portable One,
the same steps should be used to load the personal computer as for any AS/400
system.
If PC Support/400 is used on the workstation,
it is important to remember that the AS/400 must be ready for connection and
have completed IPL before STARTPCS is run on the personal computer. This can be
done by putting a PAUSE before the STARTPCS command in the personal computer
AUTOEXEC.BAT file or by running STARTPCS manually.
Note: If PC Support/400 is used as address 0 then the console QCTL subsystem
can not be used. QBASE, the default subsystem, must be used.

Tape Drive
The 7207 Model 012 is a 1.2GB 1/4-inch
streaming tape drive. The 7207 Model 012 is not approved for operation in
residential environments.
Note: Customers who already have a 7207-012 can attach this tape drive to the
9401 Model P02 using cable P/N 76G8647 (MES feature # 2852 Device to Device
Cable).
The 9401-P02 is not upgradable to any other
AS/400 model.
Temperature:
10 to 38 degrees C (50 to 100 degrees F)
Relative Humidity:
8 to 80 (percent). The optional IBM 3450 Model
001 and the IBM 7207 Model 012 tape drives used on the 9401 have a relative
humidity range of 20 to 80 percent.
Max Wet Bulb:
23 degrees C (73.4 degrees F)
Acoustics:
9401 Model P02 System Units are acoustically
designed for use in "quiet office" areas such as private offices,
libraries, classrooms, and conference and meeting rooms.
Voltage:
The 9401 Unit can operate at either of two
nominal voltage ranges:
The appropriate system power cord will
automatically be supplied based on the three-digit country code. The 9401-P02
should always be used with a grounded AC outlet. It is the customer's
responsibility to ensure a properly grounded outlet is available.
Operating Position:
The Portable One must be in a vertical
position to operate properly.
Extreme Temperature Conditions:
The operation and reliability of the Portable
One can be adversely affected by exposure to extreme temperature conditions,
such as those that might develop within an automobile.
The following table can be used for
acclimation times if the system has been in a hot environment for an extended
period of time.
Temperature | Acclimation Time
------------------------------
104 F | 0.25 Hrs
(40 C) |
--------------------
122 F | 1.5 Hrs
(50 C) |
--------------------
140 F | 2.5 Hrs
(60 C) |
"Temperature" is the temperature
which the machine is allowed to heat up to. "Acclimation Time" is the
time required for the system to reach a point below the allowable maximum
operating temperature. Since condensation is not a concern, when bringing a hot
system into a cooler environment, the carrying case should be removed.
In addition, if the machine is moved between
places with very different temperature and humidity levels, condensation can
build up and damage the equipment. When traveling, allow sufficient time for
the equipment to adjust to environmental changes before unpacking or connecting
AC power.
The approximate acclimation times for a cold
Portable One in the carrying case are:
Temperature | Acclimation Time
------------------------------
10 C | 0 Hrs
(50 F) |
--------------------
0 C | 2.5 Hrs
(32 F) |
--------------------
-10 C | 3.5 Hrs
(14 F) |
--------------------
-30 C | 5.5 Hrs
(-22 F) |
--------------------
"Temperature" is the temperature
that the P02 is allowed to cool down to prior to bringing it indoors.
"Acclimation Time" is the time required for the machine's temperature
to rise above the room dew point temperature in a room at 68 degrees-F and
40-45% relative humidity. (The machine will not actually be at room
temperature, but will be warm enough that condensation will not occur.) The
machine should be left in the carrying case during this time.
For rooms with higher then 68 degrees F, Dew
Point temperatures, a combination of temperature and relative humidity that
yields higher levels of airborne moisture, the acclimation times will need to
increase.
Failure to permit sufficient time for the
Portable One to acclimate itself, per the previous tables, constitutes system
misuse and will void the warranty.
The 9401-P02 does not include an integrated
Save/Restore device, however, the 3450 Model 001 and 7207 012 External 1/4-inch
Cartridge Tape Devices are offered.
ASCII devices cannot be attached directly to
the 9401 P02 Portable One.
The 9401-P02 is not upgradable to any other
AS/400 model.
Remote power-off is not supported.
The system configuration consists of a 9401
Model P02 System Unit and a system console. The system console may include any
supported display, IBM Personal Computer, or notebook computer emulating a
supported display, attached to the twinaxial workstation controller.
Note: The PCMCIA adapter is not included.
In order to support the system console
requirement for purposes of service on portable or personal computers, a
terminal emulator program is required, (for example, DP5250). A PC Support/400
connection is not supported to provide this function. The console should be
located within six meters (20 feet) of the system control panel, which must be
readable from the console. Although required, the system console is not a
component of the base system unit.
A printer is not required for service, however,
IBM's ability to diagnose the system is greatly enhanced when a printer is
available.
The Portable One requires an IBM 3450 Model
001 or an IBM 7207 Model 012 External 1/4-inch Cartridge Tape Drive for
removable media functions and when an alternate IPL device is required.
The 9401 Model P02 is designed to operate with
OS/400 Version 2 Release 3 or later. The following PTFs are preloaded on the
Portable One Version 2 Release 3.
