9404-140 IBM AS/400 Server Series Model 140


Abstract

The IBM 9404 is specifically optimized for high performance in the client/server environment. The AS/400 Server Series Models offer up to eleven times performance improvement for client/server applications compared to the current 9402 Model F02.

A client/server application by definition means that processing is shared by the AS/400 system (server) and the workstation (client). Typically, in this environment the client workstation provides a graphical user interface capability and partial application function. The AS/400 Server Series provides complementary application function and additional server functions. The AS/400 system delivers full function serving capabilities including a totally integrated relational database, sophisticated system management tools, a wide range of connectivity options, a variety of client types, and outstanding business solutions.

A variety of features are available to grow the capacity of the AS/400 Server Series Models. In addition, the Model 135 can be field-upgraded to a Model 140. However, none of the AS/400 Server Series Models can be upgraded to the traditional AS/400 system models.

Model Abstract 9404-140:   (For IBM US, No Longer Available as of March 20, 1995)

The base 9404 Model 140 system unit contains the system processor, the Multi-Function I/O Processor, one 1.03 GB 3 1/2-inch disk unit, one 1.2 GB 1/4-inch cartridge tape unit, a battery backup unit, an integrated communications controller, a LAN adapter, and one of the following workstation controllers or adapters for attaching the system console: Twinaxial Workstation Controller, ASCII Workstation Controller or Workstation Adapter (for LocalTalk). An optional 988 MB disk unit can be selected in the base.

·         High-performance models optimized for client/server computing.


Description

Business Solutions

The client/server environment is emerging as a key industry direction. This environment has different workload and performance characteristics than the traditional host based application environment. The new AS/400 Server Series Models can provide hardware performance and growth characteristics that meet the demands of this new environment.

These new AS/400 Server Series Models offer significant growth capability through a wide range of memory, DASD and removable media options. Performance improvements are achieved in database serving capability, and in both local and wide area connectivity.

The workstation can be either a programmable desk-top or programmable mobile client. Because of the volume of information between the desktop client and its server, a LAN is the most practical connection between a server and its clients.

The AS/400 Server Series Models can be preconfigured with

Client Series applications. These complementary products allow IBM to ship a production client/ server system that is preconfigured to customer specifications. The combination of preconfigured hardware, operating system and applications results in fast, easy installation and implementation.

The availability, recovery and system configuration support for the client/server models are the same as that available for the equivalent traditional AS/400 models (see recovery and availability information in OS/400 documentation). It should be noted that some of these functions will execute much faster on the Server Series Models.

The Ethernet Adapter supports IEEE 802.2 logical link control and IEEE 802.3 or DIX Version 2.0 frame format using a 10BASE2 (BNC), a 10BASE5 (15-pin D-SUB), or a 10BASE-T (RJ-45) connector. The 5494 Ethernet AUI Cable allows the attachment to an Ethernet Network using thick coaxial (10BASE5) cabling. Ethernet support allows the 5494 to be used as a gateway to an Ethernet LAN or attach to an AS/400 System via an Ethernet Network.

The 5494 Utility Program allows the selection of Concurrent Diagnostics, configuration information, or to reset and restart the 5494 Remote Control Unit from a remote Programmable Workstation (PWS). The PWS no longer needs to be directly attached to a 5494 to provide access to remote 5494's from a central site.

The IBM 5494 Release 3.0 microcode supports all the functions of the IBM 5494 Release 2.0 microcode and the following enhancements:

·         Support of OS/400 Version 3 Release 1.

Multiconnectors

5299 Multiconnector and TTPA Adapter

The 5299 Multiconnector and Twinaxial to Telephone Twisted Pair Adapter (TTPA) may be used with appropriate telephone wiring. Initial and ongoing site cabling costs may be reduced with this wiring option.

·         TeleVideo 910, 925, 955 (2)

Non-IBM displays are supported only in U.S. English. A secondary keyboard mapping facility, like the 5208 Link Protocol Converter, is not available.

The ASCII Workstation Controller supports the following multilingual keyboards/character sets on the 316X and 3151 displays. The character sets are based on ISO standard 8859: Spanish, UK English, Italian, French, German, Canadian French, Belgian, Danish, Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian, Portuguese, Swiss French, and Swiss German. Of the above keyboard/character sets, the 3163 and 3264 do not offer ISO 8859 support of Spanish, UK English, Italian, French, German, and Canadian French. For these 3163 and 3164 keyboard/character sets, the ASCII Workstation Controller supports the national character set code pages that use character set ISO 646 with the addition of national characters as supported on these displays. ISO 8859 support for French German, Italian, Spanish, and UK English requires a corresponding 3161 feature.

For the 3101-23 display, the following keyboard/character sets are supported: Canadian French, French, German, Italian, and United Kingdom. The ASCII code pages for each are the national code pages as supported by the IBM 3101-23.

LAN Attached Displays

6250 X Terminal Family

The IBM 6250 X Terminal offers high-performance, local-area network (LAN)-attached X terminals that provide a low-cost, desk-top platform for connectivity to the AS/400(R) and UNIX based host platforms (such as the RS/6000(R)). The 6250 X Terminal supports multiple 5250 emulation sessions to one or more AS/400s using an X Windows interface. The X terminal can also access UNIX host applications using either the memory efficient 6250 Window manger or the industry standard Motif** Window Manager. Either window manager provides a superb graphics platform for applications in the X Window environment.

The 6250 X Terminal Family includes four models...color and monochrome Ethernet models and color and monochrome Token-Ring models. They come with a base of 4MB of memory, expandable to 20MB or 16MB, depending on the model. The displays both have a resolution of 1024X768 and the color models support 256 colors.

The 6250 X Terminal requires one AS/400 on the LAN to have the IBM 6250 X Terminal Program for OS/400 (PRPQ 5799-QGP) installed. The X terminal down-loads the X window environment from the AS/400 and then can communicate with other hosts on the LAN.

The X terminals include an integrated, swivel display, keyboard, three button mouse and license to use the 6250 program. The X terminals have an easy to use setup menu for initial configuration and standard LAN connectors for the most popular Ethernet or Token-Ring connections.

IBM Personal Computer Support

The AS/400 supports the IBM Personal Computer, Models 5150, 5160, 5162 and 5170, as described in programming announcement letters dated February 3, 1987 and January 26, 1988.

Personal System/2 Support

The AS/400 supports the IBM Personal System/2 models and the IBM Personal Typing System. For information regarding attachment of specific Personal System/2 models refer to the model Sales Manual description under "List of Supported Products" for AS/400 attachment hardware and under "IBM Software Compatibility" for supported AS/400 software.

Acoustics

Application System/400 9402 and 9404 System Units are acoustically designed for use in "quiet office" areas such as private offices, libraries, classrooms, and conference and meeting rooms. Models operating with an Expansion Unit, externally attached magnetic tape unit, or optical device are acoustically designed to operate in a "general business" environment such as administrative, bookkeeping, word processing, and terminal printer areas.

Limitations

The AS/400 Server Series Models cannot be upgraded to the traditional AS/400 models.

Hardware Requirements

The minimum system configuration consists of a 9402 or 9404 System Unit, console (display), and an IBM

5858,

7855 or equivalent modem.

All models of the AS/400 system require the appropriate version of AS/400 Licensed Internal Code. This model-unique licensed internal code is delivered on magnetic media with the system unit and with model upgrades. The media used is that required for the device specified as the system alternate IPL device. The Licensed Internal Code may also be preloaded on disk storage.

The system console may be any supported display or IBM Personal Computer emulating a supported display attached to the Twinaxial Workstation Controller, 5209 Link Protocol Converter or an IBM 3151, 316X, or equivalent attached to the ASCII Workstation Controller or the IBM 5208 Link Protocol Converter. An Apple Macintosh computer workstation may be utilized as the system console when attached via the Workstation Adapter (for LocalTalk) feature. The console (display) should be located within 6 meters (20 feet) of the operator's panel, and the operator's panel must be viewable from this display.

Although a printer is not required for service, IBM's ability to diagnose the system and perform upgrades is greatly enhanced when a printer is available.

Although not required for hardware service, IBM's ability to service the system is greatly enhanced when a voice telephone is available within view of the system. The telephone must not be connected to phone mail or an answering machine, since the ability to receive calls on this telephone is important in the event support personnel need to reach the customer engineer. This telephone line is in addition to the one needed for Electronic Customer Support.

Software Requirements

The AS/400 Server Series Models require the support of OS/400 Version 2 Release 3.

LocalTalk networking was developed by Apple Computer, Inc., to connect multiple local workstations via an easily configurable bus network. Physically, each workstation is connected to the LocalTalk shielded twisted-pair cable network by a connector box. A LocalTalk network can support up to 32 devices. Devices include Macintosh personal computers, Macintosh printers, LocalTalk compatible devices and the IBM Workstation Adapter feature. The maximum length of a LocalTalk network is 300 meters (988 feet). The maximum speed of the LocalTalk network is 230.4Kbps.

LocalTalk workstation networking is supervised by portions of the AppleTalk protocol. OS/400 Version 2 Release 3 or later supports attached devices as local 5250 workstations. The program SNA*ps 5250 Emulator Version 1.2, is required on the Macintosh workstation. Although each network can physically connect 32 devices, including the Workstation Adapter, the recommended performance limitation is 20 active sessions.

The Workstation Adapter feature is packaged on a standard daughter card and attaches to the Six-Line Communications Controller (#2623). Each Workstation Adapter feature is shipped with a connector box and a two-foot cable, used to attach it to a LocalTalk cable network.

One Workstation Adapter is supported on the Six-Line Communications Controller. A second adapter on the controller may only be an X.21, EIA 232/V.24 or V.35 communication adapter. The third of three adapter positions must not be used. X.25 is limited to a maximum of 32 virtual circuits on the Six-Line Communications Controller.

A 6-port workstation attachment is supplied with the ASCII controller. Host graphics are not supported on devices attached to this controller. Both features #6141 and #9141 support customizing of keyboard translation tables when running with OS/400 Version 2 Release 2.

With AS/400 PC Support you can attach a graphics-capable DOS-based PC to the ASCII workstation controller and use host graphics (i.e., it is transparent to the ASCII WSC; it is just passing data between BGU and the DOS PC).

Either EIA 232 (CCITT V.24/V.28) or EIA 422-A (CCITT V.11) interfaces are supported from any of the ASCII ports at speeds up to 38,400bps. For specific information about these interfaces see the "AS/400 Planning Guide - 9404" (GA21-9914) and the "ASCII Workstation Reference" manual (SA21-9922). The EIA 422-A interface allows local attachment of devices from up to 4,000 feet (1200 meters). The EIA 232 interface allows either local attachment of devices from up to 50 feet (15 meters) or remote attachment via modems. Devices are supported via point-to-point asynchronous duplex modems which may be switched or nonswitched at speeds up to 19,200bps. The data buffering capability of asynchronous modems or multiplexors is not supported.

(#2620) Cryptographic Processor:   (For IBM US, No Longer Available as of December 31, 1999)

The Cryptographic Processor feature performs cryptographic functions based on a hardware implementation of the ANSI standard Data Encryption Standard (DES) and the RSA Public Key Algorithm (PKA). (The RSA algorithm was defined by R. Rivest, A. Shamir, and L. Adleman.) Cryptographic applications are a cost-effective way of providing confidentiality and/or authentication and integrity assurance for many forms of valuable data. This protection is especially important in networks, which may be vulnerable to unauthorized access to data and resources. Application areas include banking, Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and protection of proprietary information such as engineering drawings, customer lists, product plans, and personnel records.

Functions provided include encryption and decryption of data, authentication and verification of messages and data, creation and management of financial personal identification numbers (PINs) and management of cryptographic keys. The Public Key Algorithm supports the generation and verification of digital signatures for applications requiring positive electronic authentication of the identity of the sender of a message. The PKA function also provides efficient distribution of encrypted DES cryptographic keys.

Control of the tamper-resistant cryptographic hardware is provided through the supporting PRPQs listed below and optionally, through IBM Personal Security Cards using the IBM 4754-001 Security Interface Unit. The cryptographic functions provided conform to the IBM Common Cryptographic Architecture, are compatible with the IBM Transaction Security System, and interoperate with most DES based cryptographic products including IBM cryptographic products on MVS, RS/6000 (WT only), OS/2 and DOS and the IBM Cryptographic Support/400 licensed program (5728-CR1, 5738-CR1, 5763-CR1). Through its extensive use of industry standards, the cryptographic processor also interoperates with most other DES based cryptographic products.

This feature consists of an I/O processor card with a cable to attach a 4754-001, and a cable wrap connector (1 per system). The 4754-001, if desired, must be ordered separately.

Export authorization from the U.S. Government is required to ship this feature to countries outside the U.S. and Canada. Other countries may also regulate the export of this feature. Export licenses for feature #2620 will generally be approved for shipment to financial institutions and subsidiaries of U.S. companies. Export of feature #2628 may be approved in other cases. Check with your local export regulation coordinator for specific country requirements.

This feature requires the support of OS/400 Version 2 Release 3 and PRPQ 5799-FBR or OS/400 Version 3 Release 1.0 or later, and PRPQ 5799-XBY. PKA functions require OS/400 Version 3 Release 1.0 or later, and PRPQ 5799-XBY. Feature #2620 is not supported by IBM Cryptographic Support/400.

(#2628) Cryptographic Processor - Commercial:   (No Longer Available as of December 31, 1999)

This feature provides the same functions as feature #2620 except that the data confidentiality functions of encryption and decryption are provided using the new Commercial Data Masking Facility (CDMF) instead of the DES algorithm. CDMF is a new scrambling technique for data confidentiality and is intended as a substitute for the Data Encryption Standard (DES). CDMF complies with U.S. export regulations and will normally be available to most customers in most countries.

CDMF uses a 64 bit key, but provides the effective strength of a 40-bit DES key. Feature #2628 is fully compatible with feature #2620 with the exception of the encryption and decryption commands. Interoperability on masked data between an AS/400 with feature #2628 and an AS/400 with feature #2620 or other full DES systems is not supported.

Feature #2628 supports attachment of the 4754-L01 Security Interface Unit. This feature consists of an I/O processor card with a cable to attach a 4754-L01, and a cable wrap connector (1 per system). The 4754-L01, if desired, must be ordered separately.

This feature requires the support of OS/400 Version 2 Release 3 and PRPQ 5799-FBR or OS/400 Version 3 Release 1.0 or later, and PRPQ 5799-XBY. PKA functions require OS/400 Version 3 Release 1.0 or later, and PRPQ 5799-XBY. Feature #2628 is not supported by IBM Cryptographic Support/400.

The Multi-Function I/O Processor and one EIA 232/V.24 one-line communications adapter are standard features of the 9404 System Unit. In addition to DASD, diskette and tape units, the Multi-Function I/O Processor supports two communication lines.

The standard EIA 232/V.24 one-line adapter is provided for use with the IBM electronic customer support facility on the first communication line. This adapter is equipped with an enhanced cable that provides attachment to an IBM 5853, 7855, or equivalent modem. The first line supports switched line facilities operating at 2,400bps or 9,600bps using SDLC protocol. Electronic customer support leased facilities may operate at speeds up to 19,200bps on the first line; 9,600bps using the IBM 7855 modem. Specify cable length for EIA 232/V.24 adapter standard feature:

A remote power-on capability designed so that the system can be powered on via a telephone call to the IBM 5853 or 7855 electronic customer support modem is supported only on the first line. V.32 modems other than the IBM 7855 modem have not been tested and may not operate with the remote power-on capability.

The maximum aggregate data rate of the Multi-Function I/O Processor for its two communications lines is 83,200bps. The concurrent operation of ASYNC, BSC, SDLC, and X.25 protocols and the X.21 Short Hold Mode function are supported.

Optional EIA 232/V.24, V.35 or X.21 one-line adapters are available (see following descriptions). One optional adapter may be attached to the standard Multi-Function I/O Processor.

Combination Controller/Adapters

(#2666) High Speed Communications Adapter:   (For IBM US, No Longer Available as of August 31, 1998)

This feature provides the AS/400 system with one communications port capable of T1/J1 (1.544Mbps) or E1 (2.048Mbps) speeds. Communication over public or private Frame Relay or X.25 Networks or over point-to- point non-switched SDLC lines is possible. Feature #2666 consists of a card, a wrap connector and Licensed Internal Code. Three physical interface types are offered for connection to external Data Communications Equipment (DCE) such as Data Service Units (DSU), Channel Service Units (CSU) or multiplexers, which in turn provide connection to the communication facilities.

The physical interfaces are:

The cable type plugged into the adapter and OS/400 configuration parameters determine which of the three interfaces will be used. One of the following cables must be specified when ordering feature #2666:

Note 1: Use of this 24.4 meter (80 foot) V.35 cable restricts the maximum line speed to 64Kbps.

Note 2: Use of these longer cables requires that the attaching Data Communications Equipment (DCE) support the V.36 transmitter signal element timing Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) source signal.

If, after initial installation a change of interface type or cable length is desired, a separate cable may be ordered.

The High Speed Communications Adapter supports Frame Relay, X.25 or SDLC protocols. The specific protocol to be used is selected by OS/400 configuration commands. The Frame Relay, X.25 or SDLC code is then loaded into the adapter when the line is enabled.

The Frame Relay code load supports up to 128 permanent virtual circuits on the 9404, through one physical port. The virtual circuits can be individually configured for the following types of connections:

Logical Link Control (LLC) IEEE 802.2/ISO 8802.2 Type I (connectionless) and Type II (connection-oriented) services, provided by the Frame Relay code, allow TCP/IP and SNA sessions over these connections. Source Route Bridging function allows products on a remote Token-Ring, FDDI or SDDI LAN to communicate with the AS/400 through a remote bridge. Transparent Bridging is employed for the remote Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 LAN connections. AS/400 feature #2666 interoperates with IBM RouteXpander/2 and the IBM 6611 Network Processor for bridged connections to remote Token-Ring LANs. Interoperation with the IBM 6611 also provides a bridged connection to remote IEEE 802.3 and Ethernet Version 2 LANs. TCP/IP Forum RFC 1490 (Request For Comment - Multiprotocol Connect over Frame Relay) defines the industry standard formats used to facilitate this bridged interoperation. Support of these formats allows the High Speed Communications Adapter to also interoperate with other industry standard bridges.

Feature #2664 consists of a card, a wrap cable (one per machine), two country-unique attachment couplers, telephone cables and Licensed Internal Code.

The Integrated Fax Adapter is supported by the Facsimile Support/400* licensed program offering that, until now, supported only the PS/2 LAN-based facsimile product. This program provides configuration parameters for the Integrated Fax Adapter, schedules fax transmissions between multiple adapters, and manages sending and receiving faxes to and from the adapter.

The Integrated Fax Adapter can simultaneously support two send, two receive, or one send and one receive operation. To the AS/400 system, the Integrated Fax Adapter appears as an IPDS* (Intelligent Printer Data Stream) printer for outbound faxes. Most output, including text, image, graphics and bar codes that can be printed on an AS/400 IPDS printer can be faxed via the Integrated Fax Adapter. Double Byte Character Sets (DBCS) are supported for in-bound faxes, but not for out-bound faxes.

The Integrated Fax Adapter is designed to be directly attached to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). Attachment to a Private Branch Exchange (PBX) may give unsatisfactory results.

Feature #2664 supports the facsimile protocols defined in CCITT Blue Book Volume VII, Fasicle VII.3 Recommendations T.4 and T.30.

Feature #2664 supports the following compression algorithms in fax mode:

Feature #2664 supports the following modem standards:

Initial country support includes: USA, Canada, France, United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Japan and Sweden. Country support is subject to approval by that country. Two country-unique couplers and country- specific Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) attachment cables (one for each port), are required. The couplers and cables are included with the Integrated Fax Adapter feature.

Documents transmitted from the AS/400 through the Integrated Fax Adapter are limited to a maximum of approximately 30 text pages per port, per phone call. If only a single port is configured for sending Fax documents, then the limit is raised to approximately 60 text pages. Resident cover pages are counted against this limit.

OS/400 Version 3 Release 0.5, or later, and Facsimile Support/400 Version 3 Release 0.5, or later, or OS/400 Version 2 Release 3 and Facsimile Support/400 Version 2 Release 3, with PRPQ P84237 (5799-XBK) are required to support this feature.

Card slots used: One. Maximum: Refer to System Unit Summary.

(#2668) AS/400 Wireless LAN Adapter:   (For IBM US, No Longer Available as of August 31, 1998)

The AS/400 Wireless LAN Adapter provides wireless connectivity from AS/400 systems to workstations or other systems connected to a wireless LAN network. With a wireless LAN connection, end-users can have roaming, portable access to the information they need, wherever they are, within the area of local wireless radio coverage. In addition, the AS/400 Wireless LAN Adapter may be the preferred solution in situations where wiring is expensive or impossible or where computing resource and device layouts change periodically. Support is provided for portable and stationary PCs, for specialized hand-held devices used for data collection, and for connections between AS/400 systems.

The AS/400 Wireless LAN Adapter uses an advanced technology, direct sequence, spread-spectrum radio operating in the 2.4 to 2.4835GHz band. The operating band may be narrower in some countries to meet country regulations. Spread spectrum provides excellent resistance to interference from other radio frequency (RF) sources.

Availability of this feature in any particular country is dependent on current country radio frequency regulations and certification for use by the country.

The AS/400 Wireless LAN Adapter comes with an antenna and a cable for connecting the antenna to the adapter. The area of coverage may be extended beyond the coverage provided by the antenna attached to the adapter by adding AS/400 Wireless LAN Access Points to the network via an unshielded twisted-pair wired backbone. In addition, access points may be connected without wires, acting as wireless repeaters. Each adapter or access point generates one cell of coverage area. Networks are designed to create overlapping cells to ensure consistent coverage of the area desired. The AS/400 Wireless LAN Adapter allows transparent seamless movement from cell to cell while maintaining a continuous host session. A site survey by trained professionals is recommended to assist in network design.

The AS/400 Wireless LAN Adapter operates with existing application software interfaces. Existing 5250 and LAN-oriented applications can use the AS/400 Wireless LAN Adapter without change.

The AS/400 Wireless LAN Adapter supports the AS/400 family of wireless LAN and data collection devices. This family of devices provides comprehensive connectivity solutions for attaching personal computers and data collection devices to the AS/400 in a mobile, wireless fashion. The AS/400 Wireless LAN Adapter also operates with the DATASPAN** 2.4GHz family of products from the Telxon Corporation. In addition to the AS/400 Wireless LAN Adapter, the following AS/400 wireless LAN networking devices are available from IBM:

The raw bit rate for the AS/400 Wireless LAN Adapter is 2Mbps, shared by all active devices in the network. The range covered by one cell in most office environments is from 100 to 300 feet in all directions, depending on the building structure, antenna type and antenna placement. Outdoors, with a clear line-of-sight between specialized antennas, a range of up to three miles may be achieved.

This feature consists of an I/O adapter card, an antenna and a coaxial cable to attach the antenna. The following cable and antenna choices are offered:

·         One of the following:

#9814 - 20-Foot Antenna Cable (For IBM US, No Longer Available as of August 31, 1998)

File Server I/O Processor

The File Server I/O Processor (FSIOP), along with supporting AS/400 software, provides a high performance, client-centered file system. This file system provides access to client platforms such as OS/2, Windows and DOS attached to Token-Ring and Ethernet LANs. The file system can also be accessed by AS/400 host applications and provide LAN communications to AS/400 applications using TCP/IP and APPN.

The FSIOP can leverage OS/2 LAN server implementations to provide fast file serving performance on LANs. PC file serving performance on the AS/400 is increased up to eight times over previous AS/400 offerings.

The FSIOP consists of various initial order configurations that can be upgraded in the field using separate memory and second-port upgrade features. The following initial configuration features can be ordered:

The following optional base features are available on the 9402 Model 100 and the 9404 Models 135 and 140

The following features are available for upgrading the capability of File Server I/O Processors:
