Description

AS/400 9406 E Model Base System Unit Description

The E models of the 9406 System Unit in conjunction with a large range of IBM I/O devices provide an extended range of price/performance for the AS/400 system. The 9406 System Unit contains the system processor, the Multi-Function I/O Processor, main storage (standard main storage capacity varies by model), internal DASD capacity of 1.28GB, (expandable up to 3.9GB), battery power unit, one communications adapter, and a slot for an optional 1/4-inch cartridge tape unit.

The base 1.28GB Internal DASD capacity on 9406 D and E models consists of four 320MB disk drives, each with one access arm. Optional feature #2801, 1.97GB Internal Disk Unit, contains two 988MB disk drives and two access arms. The maximum internal DASD capacity of 3.9GB can be reached by removing the base 1.28GB internal DASD unit (#9101), and replacing it with a second feature #2801.

The Multi-Function Input/Output Processor is a standard feature of the 9406 D and E models and provides support for attachment of an optional 1/4-inch Tape Unit feature, the internal DASD, and up to two communications adapters. The Multi-Function I/O Processor also provides a hardware data compression function for the optional 1/4-Inch Cartridge Tape Unit features. One communications adapter is standard on the 9406 System Unit and provides one line with a 232/V.24 enhanced cable for attachment of an IBM

5853, 7855 or equivalent modem. This communications line can be used to gain access to electronic customer support facility and for the Remote Power On (RPO) function which allows the system to be powered-on via a telephone call. The second communications adapter is optional and can be featured with either an EIA 232/V.24 adapter (#6154, #6155, #6174, or #6175), an X.21 adapter (#6151 or #6171), or a V.35 Adapter (#6153 or #6173). The maximum aggregate operating rate for both adapters is 83.2Kbps.

The Model E80, utilizing two processors, the Model E90, utilizing three processors, and the Model E95 utilizing four processors, are implementations of N-Way multiprocessor architecture. Utilizing multiple processors in the Models E80, E90 and E95, results in increased system transaction throughput when compared to a uniprocessor design using the same processor.

Systems used for multiple batch jobs and/or simultaneous interactive tasks will realize the greatest benefit from N-Way architecture. Systems with a single thread batch job will have limited capability for using more than one processor even though the operating system may generate additional tasks (such as asynchronous disk I/O, spool tasks, etc.).

The 9406 E model system units include a rack enclosure and can accommodate DASD, tape, diskette devices and I/O card units. This modular packaging approach allows the customer to select the devices that satisfy current requirements and provides growth for their system in the future. To simplify the ordering process, a concept of predetermined device locations within the rack enclosures is utilized. This results in a system being assembled from one or more of several rack configurations. All interconnecting cables and filler panels are automatically added when the system is built at the factory.

The 9406 E models have the capability to provide the following automatic operations for the system:

· Programmed power-off

· Power-on by the time-of-day clock

· Auto IPL after power-on

· Auto Power-on and IPL after power interrupt

· Power-on by remote signal

The 9406 E model systems have a security keylock designed to prevent unauthorized use of the system and unauthorized accessibility to data within the system. System availability is enhanced by an extensive package of Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS) features including easy-to-use problem analysis procedures. A battery power unit capable of keeping the system unit (system processor, Base Multi-Function I/O Processor, main storage, internal DASD, and feature I/O cards) powered for up to five minutes is standard. The battery power unit and internal DASD, allow the 9406 system to continue to operate during short power outages and to power down for longer outages. An electrical interface to allow attachment of a vendor-supplied Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is also provided. UPS provides the capability for the system to tolerate input power quality problems and long power outages.

9337 Disk Array Subsystem Models 10, 20, 40, 110, 120, and 140

The 9337 Disk Array Subsystem offers enhanced reliability and new availability features, including redundant power, concurrent maintenance and an implementation of the RAID-5 array technique that can improve data loss protection. The 9337 Disk Array Subsystem offers up to seven disk drives in a 19 inch rack mountable unit. Six new models of the 9337 Disk Array Subsystem are available:

9337 Disk Array Subsystem Models 10, 20 and 40

9337 Disk Array Subsystem Models 110, 120 and 140

The base Models 10 and 20 include two 542MB and two 970MB disk drives respectively. Up to five additional feature drives can be added of the same capacity as the base drives by adding feature #1206 (542MB) and feature #1212 (970MB).

Models 110 and 120 provide an implementation of RAID-5 data loss protection for four base drives with the capability of adding three additional feature drives. Model 110 includes four base drives for a total capacity of 1626MB, with the capability of adding three additional disk drives of 542MB each. Model 120 includes four base drives for a total capacity of 2910MB, with the capability of adding three additional disk drives of 970MB each.

Two new models of the IBM 9337 Disk Array Subsystem are now available for the AS/400 9406 D, E and F models. These models offer enhanced reliability and availability features, including redundant power, concurrent maintenance, and an implementation of RAID-5 array technique that improves data loss protection. These models offer up to seven of the new high reliability 2.0GB, 3.5-inch disk drives in a 19-inch rack- mountable unit. Models 40 and 140 double the maximum capacity of previous 9337 Disk Array Subsystem Models 20 and 120. The maximum capacity per a 9309 I/O rack for a fully configured base Model 40 is 82.6GB and 70.8GB of protected data for the high availability Model 140.

The base Model 40 has four disk drives formatted to 1,976MB each with an option to add up to three additional feature drives of the same capacity. The data capacity of the Model 40 ranges from 7,868MB to 13,769MB.

The high availability Model 140 includes four disk drives formatted to 1,976MB each. Up to three disk drives of the same capacity can be added in increments of 1,976MB each. The high availability models employ a variation of the Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID-5) technique which facilitates the reconstruction of data in the event of a single disk drive outage allowing for continued operation. This availability option is implemented by distributing parity across four drives. The data capacity ranges of the high availability Model 140 are 5,901MB to 11,802MB.

Models 40 and 140 attach to the AS/400 9406 D, E and F models via DASD Controller Feature Code #6500. These models also coexist on the same system with previously announced 9337 Disk Array Subsystem Models 10, 20, 110 and 120.

The 9337 Disk Array Subsystems attach to 9406 D, E and F models via the Direct Access Storage Device Controller (#6500). Refer to the 9337 Product Announcements for additional information. Running the 9337 Models 40 and 140 on the 9406 requires the support of a February 25, 1993 or later distribution of OS/400, with cumulative PTF package C3047220 or later applied. If the OS/400 distribution is prior to February 25, 1993, no-charge PRPQ 5799-XBP must be ordered and applied before cumulative PTF package C3047220 or later is applied.

9337 Models 15, 25, 115, 125, 210, 215, 220, 225, and 240

The Models 210, 215, 220, 225 and 240 offer enhanced performance using a new 9337 controller with a one megabyte write cache. Capacity is increased up to 17% with eight disk drives per 19-inch rack mountable unit. The maximum capacity per a 9309 I/O rack for a fully configured Model 240 is 94.4GB in Base mode, and 82.6GB of protected data in High Availability mode. In addition, Models 215 and 225 include new state-of- the-art, higher performance, 542MB and 970MB disk drives. Model 240 uses the same 1,967MB disk drive as the current Models 40 and 140. Models 210 and 220 use the same 542MB and 970MB disk drives as in the current models 10, 20, 110, and 120. The remaining new models (Base/High Availability) 15/115, and 25/125 also include new state-of-the-art 542MB and 970MB disk drives respectively. These models are otherwise identical to the current versions of the Models 10/110 and 20/120.

Additional performance and reliability enhancements are gained through the attachment of the new faster 9406 DASD Controller feature (#6501), which is used to attach the new 2XX models. This new feature offers a two-byte wide interface and provides up to four times the instantaneous data transfer rate over feature #6500. New feature #6501 supports up to eight arms per 9337 2XX models and up to two 9337-2XX subsystems.

Together, the system DASD Controller feature, the disk drives in the Models 215 and 225, and the faster 9337 controller with one megabyte write cache in all 2XX models provides a significant performance improvement over previous 9337 models.

These models offer industry leading availability features including: data loss protection through the implementation of RAID-5, redundant power, concurrent maintenance, and state-of-the art 3.5-inch disk drive technology.

Also available is the capability of mixing RAID and mirrored DASD devices in the same OS/400 Auxiliary Storage Pool (ASP). Support is contained in OS/400 Version 2 Release 2 with OS/400 V2R2 9337 Hardware Update feature #1982, which is available on November 26, 1993, or by installing OS/400 Version 2 Release 3, available on December 17, 1993.

IBM recommends that customers using the 9337 High Availability models not mix non-protected DASD unless the ASP is mirrored. This includes the 9337 Disk Array Subsystem Base models. The result of a non-RAID disk failure within a mixed ASP will result in the system going off-line. The recovery time will take longer than a non-protected ASP disk failure. Customers should either mirror their non-RAID DASD when mixing High Availability models in the same ASP, or set up a separate ASP for their High Availability models.

9337 Disk Array Subsystem Models 420, 440, and 480

Three new models of the IBM 9337 Disk Array Subsystem family are now available for AS/400 Advanced System Models 300, 310 and 320. These models introduce the third generation of RAID-5 disk arrays that improve data loss protection and enhance performance with state-of-the-art disk storage technology, and 4MB non-volatile write cache controller. These models also offer improved reliability and availability features, including redundant power, concurrent maintenance, and hot-spare function supported in high-availability mode. The hot-spare function is implemented and supported at the 9337 model level. It is transparent to the AS/400 system.

The three new models offer up to eight state-of-the-art 3.5-inch disk drives in a 19-inch rack-mountable unit. Models 420 and 440 provide 970MB and 1,967MB of storage capacity respectively, with a 4MB write- cache. Model 480 introduces the new 4,190MB disk drive technology with a 4MB write-cache. This doubles the previous storage capacity in the same footprint. The maximum capacity per I/O rack for a fully configured Model 480 in base mode is 201.1GB and 175.9GB of capacity for high- availability RAID-5 protection.

The new, higher performance, 4MB write-cache controller can also be installed as a feature on existing 9337-2XX models. It requires the support in OS/400 Version 2 Release 2, or later, with no-charge feature #1984, OS/400 DASD Hardware Update.

Four disk drives come standard in all 9337 4XX models with an option to add up to four additional feature drives of the same capacity. The new models operate in either base mode or high availability mode.

The 9337 4XX models attach to the AS/400 Advanced System Models 300, 310, and 320, and the AS/400 9406 Models D, E, F models via IOP Disk Unit Controller (#6501). The new 4XX models also coexist on the same system with previously announced 9337 Disk Array Subsystem Models 0XX, 1XX, and 2XX.

The 9337 Models 420 and 440 require the support of OS/400 Version 2 Release 2, or later, with no-charge feature #1984, OS/400 DASD Hardware Update. The Model 480 requires the support of OS/400 Version 2 Release 3, or later, with no-charge feature #1984.

Model Conversions

9406 System Units can be field upgraded to higher models. All parts that are removed during model upgrades become the property of IBM.

(For IBM US, No Longer Available as of June 30, 1996)

The following model conversions to F models are available.

Additional Information Regarding Model Conversions

These model conversions involve the replacement of the main processor card and any main storage on the processor card. Model conversions do not include the replacement or addition of any internal DASD. Parts removed or replaced become the property of IBM and must be returned.

For OS/400 requirements, refer to Programming Requirements section.

OS/400 Version 2 Release 2 and later includes programming that provides for the detection of processor model changes on the 9406 via the use of a 16-character system password. The purpose of the system password is to identify all model changes to help maintain the quality and integrity of the 9406 system and to insure the protection of IBM's intellectual property, including IBM Licensed Internal Code and Licensed Programs. After the installation of OS/400 Version 2 Release 2 or later, the system will require a single entry of the system password when a system model change is performed.

There are also rare service conditions that may require re-entry of the system password. If the password must be entered and it is not known, the customer or service representative can select to operate in system password bypass mode. This will allow time to contact the marketing representative, who must obtain the correct system password by placing an RPQ order. If the correct system password is not available and the bypass period expires, the system will not complete the next IPL until the correct system password is provided. In an emergency (system down situation), IBM service can obtain the system password by contacting the ABS Product Support Center.

For more details on the system password, see the System Operator's Guide, SC41-8082. For more information on model conversions, refer to the "AS/400 System Upgrade Roadmap" (GX41-0009).

Feature Conversion Credit

When a 9406 B model is converted to a D, E or F model, the IBM manufactured Magnetic Storage Device Controllers, Magnetic Tape Attachments, and 9346 Magnetic Tape Unit installed in the B model can be returned to IBM for a reduced price on the new replacement Magnetic Storage Device Controllers, Magnetic Tape Attachments, and 120MB or 1.2GB 1/4-inch Cartridge Tape Unit features. The reduction in price for feature conversion is available for the following controllers, attachments, and tape unit and replacements:

· Magnetic Storage Device Controllers (#6110, and #6111) are replaced by Magnetic Storage Device Controller (#6112), Removable Media Device attachment (#2611) is replaced by DASD Controller (#6500) or Tape Device Controller (#2621).

· Magnetic Tape attachments -- #2602 and #2608 for 2440, #2607 and #2608 for 9348, and #2604 for 3422, 3430, 3480, and 3490. Magnetic Tape attachments #2602, #2607, and #2608 are replaced by #2621. Magnetic Tape attachment #2604 is replaced by #2622 or #2644.

· Magnetic Tape attachment -- #2601 and 9346 Magnetic Tape Unit are replaced by the 120MB or 1.2GB 1/4-inch Cartridge Tape Units, feature #6366 or #6368.

Devices that can be brought from B models to D, E and F models

· 9309 #9128, #9129, #9130, and #9141 (9309 #9125, #9126, #9127, and #9140 must be converted to #9277)

· 9331 Diskette Units

· 9332 and 9335 DASD and 9336 Disk Units

o All IBM 9336 Disk Units to be attached to a 9406 D/E/F Model System Unit must have a Control Panel Assembly at an appropriate level to ensure proper operation and integrity. Contact your IBM Service Representative to verify that the 9336 Control Panel Assembly is at the appropriate level. The part number of the 9336 Control Panel Assembly must be other than one of the following part numbers: 92X6832, 92X6856, 92X6883, 92X6965, 92X6977. These modifications are not extensive and must be done prior to attaching the 9336 to the 9406 D, E and F model system units.

· 2440, 3422, 3430, 3480, 3490, 3490E, 9347, and 9348 tape devices

The 9406 Model D50-D80, E50-E95 and F50-F97 System Units require a system unit expansion. Because of this, when the D35/E35/F35 or D45/E45/F35/F45 is converted to either the E50/F50, E60/F60, E70/F70, E80/F80, E90/F90 or E95/F95/F97, one additional rack must be considered.

For new systems, the above specify codes should be ordered on the 9406 system order. For installed systems, the codes should be ordered via MES. Ordering these DASD migration specify codes will result in shipment of the appropriate instructions and hardware to install the migration DASD configuration, and will permit the utilization of unused space in migrating DASD racks.

Order Specify Codes

o Mirrored System Specify Codes

§ #0040 Mirrored System - Disk Unit Level Protection

When added to an initial order, this specify code will cause the order to fail if sufficient DASD is not ordered to support device level mirrored protection. On upgrade orders, a warning message will be generated during installation of the upgrade if sufficient DASD is not available to support device level protection across the system. Available via MES on installed D models. Available from the plant or via MES on installed E and F models.

§ #0042 Mirrored System - IOP Level Protection

When added to an initial order, this specify code will cause the order to fail if sufficient DASD and IOPs are not included on the order to support IOP level mirrored protection. On Upgrade orders, a warning message will be generated during installation of the upgrade if sufficient DASD devices, controllers and IOPs are not available to support IOP level protection across the system (except internal DASD). Available via MES on installed D models. Available from the plant or via MES on installed E and F models.

§ #0043 Mirrored System - BUS Level Protection

When added to an initial order, this specify code will cause the order to fail if sufficient DASD, IOPs and System Unit Expansions are not included on the order to support BUS level mirrored protection. On Upgrade orders, a warning message will be generated during installation of the upgrade if sufficient DASD devices, controllers, IOPs and System Unit Expansions are not available to support BUS level protection across the system (except internal DASD). Available via MES on installed D models. Available from the plant or via MES on installed E and F models.

§ #0044 System Data Loss Protection (RAID)

When added to an initial order, this specify code will cause the order to fail if non-RAID DASD is ordered. On upgrade orders, a warning message will be generated during installation if a RAID capable DASD without RAID enabled is encountered.

· Removable Media Device Attachment feature (#2621) device attachment

One of the following specify codes should be used to identify devices other than 9348 which are attached to the Removable Media Device Attachment:

o #0018 2440 Tape Unit Attached to #2621

o #0019 3995 Optical Library Dataserver Attached to #2621

o #0021 7208 Tape Drive Attached to #2621

· Tape Migration Specify Codes

The following specify codes describe rack mounted tape drives which can be migrated to a 9406 system:

o #0022 9348 Magnetic Tape Unit

o #0029 9347 Magnetic Tape Unit

o #0028 3490E Models C10, C11 and C22 Magnetic Tape Subsystem

o #0027 3490E Models C10, C11 and C22 shared from another system

For new systems, the above specify codes should be ordered on the system order. For installed systems, the specify codes should be ordered via MES. Ordering these no-charge specify codes will ensure that NO RACK SPACE IS RESERVED for this tape drive in this system.

· Complete and Partial Systems.

Every order must include the Complete System specify code (#5520) or the Partial System specify code (#5521). The Complete System specify code must be included on all orders unless the intent is to order an incomplete system. In this case the Partial System code should be used. The Partial System Specify Code causes some of the order validation checking to be bypassed. Partial system orders will not fail validation if device controllers, machines or features required for a complete and operable system are missing. Therefore, it is important that the partial system order accurately list all machines and/or features to be shipped with the 9406. An example of a Partial System order would be an order for a 9406 without a Magnetic Storage Device Controller (#6112) to support a DASD rack.

#5520 - Complete (Minimum) system order

(For IBM US, No Longer Available as of March 31, 1999)

#5521 - Partial system order

· System Console Workstation Controller Specify

When the 9406 order includes a feature code from two of the following three groups, one of the specify codes listed must be entered on the 9406 order to select the type of workstation controller for the system console.

Special Feature Codes -- Chargeable

Optional Features

When ordering features, it is necessary to consider the number of card slots required by the feature and the number of card slots available in each model. The number of main storage slots is fixed for each model, but the number of I/O card slots can be increased by ordering a System Unit Expansion (Models D60/E60/F50/F60, D70/E70/F70, D80/E80/F80, E90/F90 and E95/F95/F97 only) or a Bus Extension Unit. The number of System Unit Expansion and Bus Extension Unit features that can be attached to each model is listed in the description of the System Unit Expansion and Bus Extension Unit features.

When ordering a 9406 using the configurator CFAS400, the card slot count consideration will be handled automatically by the configurator. If the configurator is not used, then the guidance provided in the feature description, and the guidance in the section labeled "Feature Slot Restrictions" should be used to configure a system.

Non-Communications

(#2611) Cluster DASD Controller

(For IBM US, No Longer Available as of July 1, 1997)

This feature provides for the attachment of one 9337 Disk Array Subsystem using a differential SCSI interface. Feature #2611 is available only on 9406 B models and supports all six models of the 9337. Each #2611 controller can attach one 9337 Model 10 or Model 20 with two to seven drives, one 9337 Model 110 or Model 120 with four to seven drives, or one 9337 Model 40 or 140 with four to seven drives. OS/400 Version 2 Release 2 or later is required. Card slots used: One. Maximum: Two on Models B30-B45, five on Model B50 and eight on Models B60-B70. Total DASD capacity cannot exceed that which is currently offered on the same B model today.

(#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.

(#2801) 1.97GB Internal Disk Unit

(For IBM US, No Longer Available as of September 29, 1995)

This feature provides additional internal DASD with a capacity of 1.97GB. When combined with the base 1.97GB, maximum internal DASD capacity on F models is 3.95GB. Both the base and optional 1.97GB Internal Disk Units consist of two 988MB disk drives and two access arms.

The most significant benefit of the internal DASD on the 9406 is the ability to enable a main storage dump to be taken in the event of an external power failure. Some users of smaller 9406 models will find the increased internal DASD capacity sufficient for their total storage requirements and may not need additional external DASD devices and controllers.

Up to two #2801 features are supported on 9406 D and E models and F models without #9801. For systems with two existing 640MB Internal Disk Units, one #2801 can replace one or both of these units. CFAS400 will be adding two #9800 specify codes to installed D and E models on any MES activity to identify the existing 640MB Internal Disk Units. If one #2801 is to replace only one 640MB Internal Disk Unit and two #9800s are not on the installed inventory, one #9800 must be ordered with the #2801.

Main Storage Considerations

The new 256MB Main Storage feature (#3135) allows the maximum main storage on the high-end models to be increased. These increases relieve constraints, especially in the multiprocessor environment, where there is a high degree of paging to disk. On those systems where DASD I/O is a bottleneck and where CPU cycles are available, customers may elect to add main storage to increase the advantage of the "Expert Cache" function provided in OS/400 V2R3.

Optimizing Main Storage Configurations for Multiprocessor Systems

In an 9406 F model multiprocessor system, there are two important factors that should be considered regarding the relationship between the main storage and the system processors. When these factors are met, the 9406 models F80, F90, F95 and F97 processor performance will be optimum assuming that no other bottlenecks exist. (This discussion does not apply to E or earlier models.)

For the 9406 F model multiprocessors, the first and most important factor is card interleaving. Interleaving is the implementation of an addressing scheme that allocates space across four main storage cards of the same size (in MB) installed in the first four main storage slots.

With interleaving enabled, address space increments, in 512-byte pages, from one card to the next (e.g, first page on card one, second page on card two, etc) rather than filling one card entirely before going on to the next card. This card interleaving reduces main storage contention in a multiprocessor environment by spreading across four cards (rather than one) the frequently accessed operating system functions that are resident in the lower address range. Interleaving is enabled when the system is IPL'd and the four cards in the first four slots are all the same size (have the same MB of main storage).

The second factor to be considered in this relationship is the number of main storage cards installed. Just like DASD arms, more is better. The system processors take advantage of all main storage cards installed in the system by keeping multiple cards active in parallel. Any one of the system processors can issue a command across the main storage interface to, or receive data from any one of the main storage cards.

The table below lists the main storage sizes (in MB, under the "TOTAL" column) and the corresponding main storage feature configurations that may maximize the performance of main storage access by multiple F model processors. The "optimal" result is reached by having four main storage cards of the same size AND all main storage slots full.

The table DOES NOT show actual placement by main storage slot.

Actual system performance varies from one customer to another depending on the job mix, system tuning and the potential for other bottlenecks. For example, if the system is I/O bound or has low processor utilization, then main storage configuration may not affect F model system performance.

Device Devices per Magnetic
 Type Storage Device Controller
------ -------------------------
9331 2
9332  8 *
9335-A01 4
9335-B01 8
9336 2
9347 ** 2
 




* The number of 9332s per Magnetic Storage Device Controller must
be reduced when 9331s and/or 9347s are attached to the same
Magnetic Storage Device Controller. One less 9332 can be attached
for each 9331 or 9347 attached.
 




** A dedicated Magnetic Storage Device Controller (#6112) is required
for a 9347 used as the alternate IPL device on Models D50/E50/F50
through D80/E95/F95/F97.
 

Note: All DASD or disk units attached to a single Magnetic Storage Device Controller must be of the same type.

See the table at the end of the Disk Unit IOP descriptions to determine the number of IOPs for external DASD supported by system.

When ordering a 9406 using the configurator, CFAS400, the number of #6112s needed will be determined by the configurator. If the configurator is not used, then the number of #6112s needed can be determined by the following guidelines:

· When 9332 DASD is included in the system:

o Order one #6112 for each one to eight 9332 DASD attached to the system.

o If 9331s or 9347s are included in the system, use the following to determine if an additional #6112 is required:

1. Determine the number of #6112s required for each one to eight 9332 DASD.

2. Add the number of 9332s and 9331s and 9347s divide the total by eight. If the result is greater than the number of #6112s required for each one to eight 9332s, then order one #6112 to control the 9331s and 9347s.

3. If a 9347 is the alternate IPL device on a Model D50/E50/F50 through D80/E95/F95, the #6112 to which it attaches cannot be used for attaching DASD, but can attach diskette.

o If 9336 Disk Units are included in the system, it is not necessary to order an additional #6112 when installing 9331s and 9347s in the system

· When 9335 DASD is included in the system:

o Order one #6112 for every two 9335 DASD Racks (9309 Specify Code #9128) attached to the system.

o Order one #6112 for every four 2440 Tape I/O Subsystems with 9335 DASD, mounted in the 2440, attached to the system.

o If 9331s or 9347s are included in the system, order one #6112 to control these devices if there are no 9336 Disk Units included in the system, or if a 9347 is used as the system alternate IPL device.

· When 9336 Disk Units are included in the system:

o Order one #6112 for each one to two 9336 Disk Units attached to the system.

o It is not necessary to order an additional #6112 if 9331s and 9347s are included in the system, unless the 9347 is the alternate IPL device for Models D50/E50/F50 through D80/E95/F97, in which case the 9347 cannot be attached to the same #6112 used to attach DASD. It can be attached with diskette.

· When migrating 9332/9335 DASD to a 9406 System:

o Order one #6112 for each two racks of 9335 DASD being migrated (Specify Code #9119).

o Order one #6112 for each one to eight 9332 DASD being migrated (Specify Code #9119). (include 9331s and 9347 in this number if no 9336s are included in the system)

o Order one #6112 for the 9347 if it is being used as the alternate IPL device on Models D50/E50/F50 through D80/E95/F97. (The 9347 used for alternate IPL can be attached to a #6112 with diskette, but not DASD.)

In certain circumstances it may be desirable to have additional controllers. Refer to the DASD Performance Guidelines and Cables sections for additional information.

One additional #6112 is added to maximum for AIPL tape device attached on bus 0.

Two additional buses may be added to the Models F50/D60/E60/F60 and D70/E70 by adding a System Unit Expansion (#5042). Two to four additional buses may be added to the Models F70, D80/E80/F80, E90/F90 and E95/F95/F97. by adding one or two System Unit Expansions (#5042). I/O Card Slots Used: One. Limitations:

· Cannot be installed in the Bus Extension Unit (#5040).

Field Installation: Yes. System Maximums: See chart.

DASD IOPs must be installed in the 9406 system unit or feature #5042. For systems larger than two buses (Model X50 and above), no more than one DASD I/O Processor may be installed on bus 0 and for optimum performance, none should be installed on bus 0 as the chart below indicates. A maximum of three DASD I/O Processors may be installed on any bus. Exceptions to this rule are:

· On D50 and E50 systems with three buses, up to four IOPs driving disk units may be placed on any bus except bus 0.

· On D60, D70, E60, D70, F50 and F60 systems with five buses, up to four IOPs driving disk units may be placed on any bus except bus 0.

· On D80, E80, E90, E95, F70, F80, F90, F95 and F97 with seven buses, up to 5 IOPs driving disk units may be placed on any bus except bus 0. System maximum of 28 IOPs.

The above exceptions to the rule of three disk driving IOPs per bus applies only after the MAXIMUM number of buses allowed on that particular system has been reached (e.g., a F70 installation must have all seven buses installed before exceeding three disk driving IOPs per bus).

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:

· CCITT V.36/EIA 449 at speeds up to 2.048Mbps

· CCITT X.21 at speeds up to 2.048Mbps

· CCITT V.35 at speeds up to 2.048Mbps

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:

· #9879 6 meter (20 foot) CCITT V.35 cable (For IBM US, No Longer Available as of August 31, 1998)

· #9880 24.4 meter (80 foot) CCITT V.35 cable (see note 1) (For IBM US, No Longer Available as of August 31, 1998)

· #9882 6 meter (20 foot) CCITT V.36/EIA 449 cable (For IBM US, No Longer Available as of August 31, 1998)

· #9885 6 meter (20 foot) CCITT X.21 cable (For IBM US, No Longer Available as of August 31, 1998)

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 256 permanent virtual circuits on the 9406, through one physical port. The virtual circuits can be individually configured for the following types of connections:

· Frame Relay Network link direct to other devices

· Frame Relay Network link bridged to remote Token-Ring, IEEE 802.3, Ethernet Version 2, FDDI or SDDI LANs

· non-switched communications direct link to other systems

· non-switched communications bridged link to remote Token-Ring, IEEE 802.3, Ethernet Version 2, FDDI or SDDI LANs

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.

Frame Relay Standards: Frame Relay functions of the High Speed Communications Adapter feature are implemented in accordance with these standards:

(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 has not been approved by the Federal Communications Commission. This device is not, and may not be offered for sale or lease, or sold or leased until the approval of the FCC has been obtained.

Operation in the United States does not require a license from the Federal Communications Commission.

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.

· Only one 100Mbps LAN (FDDI #2618 or SDDI #2665) may be included in this maximum for models D35, D45, E35, E45, F35 and F45. Models D50-D80, E50-E95, F50-F97 may have up to two 100Mbps LANs included in this maximum.

· The FSIOP is offered in one-port and two-port configurations. The two-port features count as two LANs when figuring the maximum LANs.

· Feature #6520 upgrades a One-Port FSIOP to a Two-Port FSIOP. #6520 counts as one LAN against the total LANs/System.

· F = Available as an orderable feature on these system models.

· S = Supported; not an orderable feature on this system model but may be brought along if upgrading from a previous model.

· All of the Token-Ring network features for the AS/400 system use the same 2.5 meter cable for connection to the Token-Ring. The standard IBM Cabling System patch cables can increase the length where necessary.

· The high performance Token-Ring Adapter (#2619) should be ordered where 9406 system LAN bandwidth demand is expected to exceed 1-4Mbps. This range assumes a random transaction mix consisting of both short interactive exchanges and large file transfers. The low end of the range applies when short exchanges represent most of the LAN traffic. Below these thresholds feature #2626 should offer acceptable performance at a lower price.

· The high performance Ethernet adapter (#2617) should be ordered when 9406 system LAN bandwidth demand is expected to exceed .3-1Mbps. This range assumes a random transaction mix consisting of both short interactive exchanges and large file transfers. The low end of the range applies when short exchanges represent most of the LAN traffic. Below these thresholds feature #2625 should offer acceptable performance at a lower price.

Communication Guidelines

9406 communications controllers and line adapters support a variety of protocols and line types:

· Switched and nonswitched point-to-point and multipoint lines are supported. X.25 lines are full duplex. ASYNC lines can be full or half duplex.

· Serial Autodial modem support is provided by the EIA 232/V.24 interface. The V.25 bis command set is supported for synchronous(SDLC), Binary Synchronous (BSC), X.25 and Asynchronous(ASYNC) lines. Modems must support the bit synchronous (HDLC) format for dialing to establish connection for BSC data transfer using the AS/400 V.25 bis Autodial Support for BSC lines.

· The AS/400 does not offer a Digital Data Service Adapter (DDSA). Access to the AT&T Data-Phone Digital Service(1) is via a 5821 or 5822 Data Service Unit (DSU) and Channel Service Unit (CSU). The 9406 Communications Controllers support the 5821 or 5822 DSU/CSU (or equivalent OEM DSU/CSU).

· X.21 networks that are compatible with IBM's implementation of X.21 as described in "IBM Implementation of X.21 General Information manual", GA27-3287 and complying with the CCITT Recommendation X.21, 1980 and 1984, are supported. The X.21 Short Hold Mode (SHM) and Multiple Port Sharing (MPS) functions of X.21 Circuit Switched are supported on the 9406. X.21 guidelines are:

o X.21 SHM/MPS concurrent operation is supported for any combination of up to six lines per port group and up to six port groups with BSC, ASYNC, SDLC, and X.25 lines by the Six-line Communications Controller.

o The Multi-Function I/O Processor supports one one-line X.21 SHM line with concurrent operation of either BSC, ASYNC, SDLC, or X.25 on the other line.

· The 9406 provides for packet-switched networks complying with the 1980, 1984 and 1988 CCITT recommendation X.25. The 9406 interface to these networks will be in conformance with the functional description contained in the "IBM General Information Manual X.25 Interface for attaching IBM SNA Nodes to Packet-Switched Data Networks" (GA27-3345, 1980 and GA27-3761, 1984 and 1988). Attachment to an X.25 network is via a nonswitched line through either an X.21 bis(V.24 or V.35) interface.

Attachment to an X.25 network via an X.25 switched line is also supported.

See 2700 Charts P and Q in Sales Pages for a list of supported networks. X.25 guidelines are:

o X.25 circuits can be permanent or switched virtual circuits.

o 9406 supports up to 96 switched and/or permanent virtual circuits per Six-Line Communications Controller with up to 32 virtual circuits per line.

o X.25 support is defined in 'The X.25 1984 Interface for attaching SNA Nodes to Packet Switched Data Networks" Architecture Reference SC30-3409.

· ISDN guidelines:

The ISDN Basic Rate Interface Adapter (#2605) will provide the capability to attach to voice/data transmission services having interfaces complying with the IBM ISDN architecture which interprets Recommendation ISDN (1988) of the International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee (CCITT). This interface support will be in conformance with the functional description contained in "Integrated Services Digital Networks Data Link Control - Architecture Reference" (SC31-6826), and "Integrated Services Digital Networks Circuit-Switching Signalling Control - Architecture Reference" (SC31-6827). This ISDN feature supports attachment to the following switches:

o AT&T 5ESS

o Northern Telecom DMS100 (single B - Channel per Basic Rate Adapter)

o TELEOS IAP 6000 (Customer Premise Equipment)

Version 2 Release 3 of OS/400 adds support for what is commonly called National ISDN. The Basic Rate Interface Adapter (#2605) now also provides the capability to attach to voice/data transmission services which comply with the guidelines specified in the following Bellcore documents:

4. Generic Guidelines for ISDN Terminal Equipment on Basic Access Interfaces; Special Report SR-NWT-001953

5. Generic Guidelines for ISDN Terminal Equipment on National ISDN-2 Basic Rate Interfaces; Special Report SR-NWT-002361

OS/400 configuration parameters are used to select the Basic Rate Interface Adapter operation which is compatible with the ISDN transmission services being used. Announcement of attachment capability for other ISDN switches, or given release levels of these switches, will depend on network availability and IBM's characterization of the network interface. Selection of additional ISDN networks for attachment will be based upon IBM's technical and business judgement in addressing the requirements of its customers. If network suppliers require certification of this feature, it is the responsibility of the customer or the network supplier to obtain this certification.

This adapter allows communications via ISDN/IDLC with the following:

o Other similarly equipped AS/400 systems

o PS/2 3270 Emulation

o 3174 (downstream)

Attachment of X.25 Packet Switched Networks is also supported using an ISDN B channel as the access facility. The AS/400 will support two X.25 network access types:

§ Circuit Mode - This ISDN network is used to access an X.25 PSN

§ Packet Mode - The ISDN network provides X.25 (Based on offerings of the network provider)

Note: When using the ISDN Basic Rate Interface Adapter (#2605), communications with other systems equipped with the IBM ISDN 7820 is not supported if these systems do not support IDLC or X.25 protocols (either natively or through a protocol converter box).

· 640Kbps V.35 SDLC Data Lines using T1/E1/J1 DCE:

Using appropriate T1/E1/J1 DCE (multiplexors or DSU/CSU), the Six-line communication controller (#2623) with attached V.35 One-line adapters (#6153-6173) supports SDLC data lines at speeds up to:

o 640Kbps for one V.35 SDLC line per controller

o 512Kbps each for two V.35 SDLC lines per controller

o 384Kbps each for three V.35 SDLC lines per controller

Four Six-line Controllers configured for T1/E1/J1 DCE attachment are supported for Models D35 to D70 and E35 to E70. Eight are supported for the 9406 Models D80, E80 and E90.

Use of the Six-line controller with other line types (ASYNC, BSC, ISDN, X.25 and X.21 SHM) is not supported when one or more V.35 SDLC Data lines is configured for attachment to T1/E1/J1 DCE on the same controller.

Rack Enclosures and Configurations

Rack Enclosure

The 9406 System Unit, System Unit Expansion, and Bus Extension Unit include a rack enclosure. The attached I/O Card Unit, disk units, diskette units, and tape units (except 3422, 3430, 3480, 3490 (other than 3490E-CXX), and 7208 tape drives), are mounted into the 9406 System Unit, System Unit Expansion, Bus Extension Unit or 9309 Model 2 Rack Enclosures (1.6 meter).

These rack enclosures provide:

· A cabinet to house the individual rack mountable units that make up a system

· Power control of all units within the rack (under control of the system unit) and power control for all racks connected to the power control network.

· Consolidation of individual unit AC power cords to one rack power cord

· Emergency Power Off (EPO) switch for each rack

· Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) interface

· Interface for external power-on signal

Rack Configurations for 9406

To simplify the ordering, installing and upgrading processes, the 9406 utilizes the concept of predetermined device locations within the rack enclosures. This concept provides a wide range of product flexibility with defined product growth and minimized device relocation on upgrades. This results in the systems being pre-assembled from combinations of ten defined rack configurations. When ordering 9309 racks for an 9406, the specify code corresponding to the desired configuration must be included with the 9309 order.

The placement or cabling sequence of racks in a multiple rack system does not have to be considered during the order process. This placement will have to be considered by the customer during their site preparation activity. The information needed for this activity is covered in chapter two and appendix G of the 9406 Physical Planning Guide (GA41-9571).

The following diagrams illustrate the rack configurations, showing where any ordered devices will be installed in the racks. At initial system build, blank filler panels will be installed over empty device locations.

9406 D, E, and F Model System Unit Racks

These racks can have DASD, tape and diskette units mounted within, and can provide a single rack system.

Mirroring Support

Customers can mirror the new Base (non-RAID) models with prior 9337 Base (non-RAID) models that have the same disk drive capacity. The 9337 mirroring combinations can be between any two of the following models:

Models 10, 15, 210 and 215 in Base mode

Models 20, 25, 220 and 225 in Base mode

Models 40, and 240 in Base mode

Plant Activated DASD Mirroring

With increased system DASD capacity, managing DASD availability is becoming more important. Beginning with OS/400 Version 2 Release 3, orders for 9406 systems with Disk-Level Mirroring (#0040), IOP-Level Mirroring (#0042), Bus-Level Mirroring (#0043) or Device Parity Protection (#0044) specified, will be shipped from the plant of manufacture with the mirroring function activated for all non-RAID DASD. This plant activated option will save time in the installation process. Mirroring can protect against unplanned system outages caused by unprotected internal or external DASD failures. If mirroring is later determined inappropriate, it can be deactivated.

9119 Migration DASD Specify Code CFAS400 will include #9119 on a order when DASD is to be migrated on a new system order. In addition to adding #9119, CFAS400:

· Insures rack space is available for all migrated devices in addition to all ordered devices.

· Insures the availability of the right number of IOPS for migrated DASD as well as ordered DASD in non-mirroring and mirroring situations.

The potential level of mirroring can not be identified in manufacturing if DASD is being migrated.

There is a requirement that must be satisfied before migrating 9332/9335 DASD subsystems to a 9406 system.

These specify codes are withdrawn:

For new systems, the above specify codes were be ordered on the 9406 system order. For installed systems, the codes were ordered via MES. Ordering these DASD migration specify codes resulted in shipment of the appropriate instructions and hardware to install the migration DASD configuration, and permitted the utilization of unused space in migrating DASD racks.

The requirement for migration involves potential changes to the subsystem components to make them operable on the 9406. The subsystem components affected may include the 9332 Direct Access Storage Devices, the 9335 Direct Access Storage Subsystem or the 9309 Rack Enclosure. Listed here are the modifications which, if required, must be ordered and installed before the unit can be moved to a 9406 System Unit.

· 9332 Model 220 to Model 200 conversion - RPQ 845102.

· 9332 Model 420 to Model 400 conversion - RPQ 845104.

These RPQs must be ordered for the conversion of stand-alone models to rack-mount models for installation in the 9309 Rack Enclosure. Stand-alone models are not supported on the 9406.

· 9309 primary rack to secondary rack conversion.

All rack enclosures beyond the first on a 9406 must be at the #9202 Subsequent Enclosure specify level. Order via MES, specify code #9119 on the installed 9309. This code will provide for the modification of each 9309 Model 001 or 002 with #9201, Primary Enclosure, to Specify Code #9202, Subsequent Enclosure. There is a charge for this feature.

· 9335-A01 Controller EC level upgrade - EC 397013A

A 9335-A01 being installed on a 9406 must be at EC level 397013A or later to ensure proper operation and integrity. A "white label" on the front plate behind the decorative cover will identify units at this EC level with the words "EC 397013A installed." If required, the EC should be ordered through the local NSD branch office.

These modifications are not extensive and should be planned to be done after the units are removed from the currently installed system.

All migrations of DASD subsystems to the 9406 will require one of the DASD Migration Aids Specify Codes on the 9406 System Unit order. Most migrations will also require one or more of the subsystem device modifications. Be sure that both are ordered if required.

The B02 and the B12 are also automated models, supporting two tape drives and a total capacity up to 300GB with compaction. The B02 is stand-alone, and the B12 is a rack mounted. Models B02 and B12 support two modes of operation: Base Mode and Split Mode. In Base Mode, both drives are attached to a single host with access to 20 tapes for a maximum capacity of 300GB compacted. When configured in Split Mode, the 3570 subsystem is effectively split into two separate 10-cartridge libraries. In Split Mode, the 3570 attaches to two hosts, with each host accessing one drive and 10 tape cartridges for a maximum capacity of 150GB with compaction. This mode provides an effective solution for high-capacity, unattended backup, and does not require switches or recabling.

The Magstar MP Tape Subsystem attaches to all AS/400 DXX and later models, except the D02, E02, F02, and P03. Attachment is with feature #6501 (Tape/Disk Device Controller), supporting one or two drives. Alternate IPL is supported.

Backup Recovery and Media Services/400 (BRMS/400) is recommended to support automation in tape handling, media management, and automatic migration of data between tape and DASD based on user defined policies. For those developing unique applications, OS/400 provides a command interface.

IBM software distribution will not be provided on Magstar MP media for OS/400 V3R1 or V3R2 (see RPQ 843910 for additional information). A second tape drive will be required. The Magstar MP Tape Subsystem cannot be shared by two systems. OS/400 V3R1 or later and PTFs are required.

3590 High Performance Tape Subsystem

The 3590 is a new automated tape subsystem for the AS/400, reaching higher levels of reliability, capacity and performance. The drive rate of 9 MB per second is three times faster than previous IBM 3480, 3490 or 3490E tape drives, allowing tape applications to read and write data more quickly. Using the built-in data compression capability, the 3590 has a potential maximum throughput of 20 MB per second. Actual throughput is a function of end-to-end system capabilities including processor, DASD, bus, IOP, OS/400 blocking and data compaction.

The 3590 uses new read/write and media technology for vastly increased capacity and reliability. The new cartridge has an uncompacted data capacity of 10 GB, or typically over 30 GB assuming a 3:1 compaction ratio. The capacity of an individual drive has further been increased by the addition of the Automatic Cartridge Facility (ACF), which allows an operator to mount ten cartridges at a time via a magazine. Thus an individual drive can provide storage for 100 to 300 GB of data. The 3590 cannot read or write 3490E tape cartridges.

The 3590 is available in two models. The Model B11 is rack mounted and includes a 10-cartridge Automatic Cartridge Facility (ACF) that can be used in random access mode as a mini-library. The Model B1A does not include the ACF and is designed to fit into the 3494 Tape Library Dataserver, increasing total library capacity to over 90 terabytes.

The 3590 attaches to all AS/400 DXX and later models, except the X02 and P03 models, using AS/400 Feature #6501 (Magnetic Media Subsystem Controller). Each feature #6501 can support up to two tape drives. The 3490 has two SCSI ports and can be shared between two systems.

Backup Recovery and Media Services/400 (BRMS/400) is recommended to support automation in tape handling, media management, fast search, and automatic migration of data between tape and DASD based on user defined policies. For developing unique applications, OS/400 provides a command interface.

7208 8mm External Tape Drives

The 7208 is an 8mm helical scan, medium performance, high capacity, streaming tape drive with models supporting media capacity of up to 7.0GB per cartridge. The Model 2 (Withdrawn from marketing) provides 2.3GB capacity. When hardware data compression (HDC) on the IOP is enabled, it typically provides 1.5 times improvement in capacity and transfer rate. The 7208 Model 12 provides 5GB capacity and the Model 222 provides 7GB. Both Models 12 and 222 support an implementation of IBM's Improved Data Recording Capability (IDRC) that typically provides a two times improvement in capacity and transfer rate.

Both 7208 models are stand-alone, table-top devices, and can be used for save/restore, alternate IPL, program interchange and 8mm cartridge tape interchange with other AS/400 systems. Kits for rack-mounting are available via RPQ 841997 for the Model 2 and RPQ 841998 for the Model 12. The 7208 attaches to the AS/400 via Removable Media Device Attachment Feature (#2621). This feature supports up to two tape devices.

Full interchange of data is supported between Models 002, 012 and 222, the 9427 and the AS/400 Advanced Series internal 7GB 8mm tape units, using the proper tape density and 7208-002/012/222 tape media. All models use the same media and cleaning cartridges. The Models 002, 012 and 222 do NOT support data interchange with the 7208 Model 1 or Model 11 attached to RS/6000 systems.

The Model 2 has an instantaneous data transfer rate of 245KBps second. When HDC is enabled the unattended save rate would typically be 1GB/Hr with 3.5GB of data stored per cartridge. The Model 12 has an instantaneous data transfer rate of 500KBps. When IDRC is enabled the unattended save rate would typically be 3GB/Hr with 10GB of data stored per cartridge. The Model 222 has a sustained data transfer rate of 500KBps. Using IDRC, maximum effective data transfer rate is up to 1MBps, and capacity is up to 14GB of data stored per cartridge, depending on the type of data.

Attaches to all AS/400 Advanced Series models. Model 222 requires the support of OS/400 Version 3 Release 1. Maximums: See System Unit Summary table.

Note: Remote workstation controllers attach to the AS/400 via the communications subsystem features. The 5294 or the 5394 running in 5294 emulation mode, will not give IBM Personal Computers or Personal System/2s access to IBM PC Support/400.

5294

The 5294 Remote Control Unit can be used to attach up to eight 5250 type displays, printers, IBM Personal Computers and Personal System/2s, and Personal System/55 (AP only), to an AS/400 via a communications link. The function provided will be equivalent to that available on the System/36 and System/38 with the exception that PC Support access by Personal Computers and Personal System/2s attached to the 5294 will not be supported.

5394

The 5394 Remote Control Unit attaches up to sixteen 5250 type displays, printers, IBM Personal Computers and Personal System/2s, and Personal System/55 (AP only) to an AS/400 via a communications link. The function provided will be similar to that provided to the local workstations via the #6140 or #6040 local twinaxial workstation controllers.

5494 Remote Control Unit

The 5494 Remote Control Unit manages the operation of workstations and workstation communications to the AS/400. The IBM 5494-EXT replaces the IBM 5494-001 and the IBM 5494-002. The 5494 now has only one model, to which features are added customizing the 5494 for operational needs.

The 5494-EXT supports the attachment of up to 28 twinaxial devices. With the 5494 Twinaxial Expansion Kit installed, up to 56 twinaxial devices can communicate to the AS/400 through a Type 2.1 connection.

By installing the 5494 Token-Ring Adapter, the 5494-EXT has all the functional capabilities of the withdrawn 5494-002. It can communicate with an AS/400 system over a Token-Ring network while supporting up to 28 twinaxial devices, or can support Token-Ring attached devices while communicating with an AS/400 over an SDLC, X.21, or X.25 connection. In this configuration, the 5494 supports up to 80 devices of which up to 28 could be twinaxial attached and the rest Token-Ring attached.

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.

· Support for AS/400 automatic configuration of Non-programmable Workstations (NWS) and printers attached to the 5494. The 5494 Remote Control Unit description can also be automatically created. (This function requires OS/400 V3R1 be installed on the AS/400)

· Attachment capability to a SNA subarea network.

· Eighty (80) device support is now standard for Token-Ring and Ethernet attached devices.

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 and UNIX based host platforms (such as the RS/6000*). 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.
