Abstract

The IBM AS/400* Advanced System 9406 are models of the AS/400 Advanced Series of business computing systems. These attractively packaged systems feature the latest technology, superior quality and reliability, and improved price and performance. They span an equivalent model performance range from the 9404 Model F20 to the 9406 Model F97. There are fewer models, but they offer granularity of performance through optional system processor features.

The AS/400 Advanced System 9406 3x0 model line is an evolution from the traditional AS/400 9404 and 9406 packages, which have become the standard of the commercial computing world. Field upgrades from installed AS/400 systems (except B or P models) to the AS/400 Advanced Series models are available, to take advantage of new technologies, while protecting current investment in hardware and applications.

In the past, a complete model upgrade was required to boost processor performance; with the new models, a change in processor feature can take the place of several model upgrades.

The File Server I/O Processor feature dramatically reduces the time it takes to access PC-oriented files that are stored on the AS/400. Further, it allows customers to integrate business applications and client/server applications in the same system, under a single point of management.

Using the AS/400 Wireless LAN Adapter, and supported wireless devices, you can move from one location to another and maintain access to AS/400 system resources. Wireless connections can also reduce installation costs where office or work group configurations change frequently.

The continued enhancement of the AS/400 business computing system with the AS/400 Advanced Series models and new features that address today's key business challenges is why the IBM AS/400 has become the world's most popular multiuser business computer.

Description

The AS/400 Advanced System 9406 Model 3X0 System Units shipped from the plant, contain the system processor, main storage, Multi-Function I/O Processor, integrated DASD, a communications adapter, an integrated workstation controller for twinaxial, ASCII or LocalTalk** workstations, or the Client Access/400 Console option.

New with the 9406 3X0 models is the ability to select the system processor from several options. The options available for each model provide different levels of performance and corresponding different capacities of main storage. Refer to the model summary charts for optional processor features and their characteristics.

The Multi-Function I/O Processor provides support for disk storage, internal tape (on Models 300 and 310) and two communication lines. One EIA 232/V.24 One-Line Communication Adapter is provided for use with the electronic customer support facility. The second communication line adapter is optional and can be featured with either an EIA 232/V.24, X.21 or a V.35 adapter. The Multi-Function I/O Processor supports async, BSC, SDLC, X.25 Protocols and X.21 Short Hold mode function.

Standard in the base of the 9406 3X0 models is one 1.96GB 3 1/2-inch disk unit. Optionally, a 4.19GB Disk Unit may be substituted for the base disk unit.

A workstation controller or the Client Access/400 Console option is included with the base system, to support a system console. One must be specified on the initial order. The workstation controller supports either twinaxial, ASCII or LocalTalk devices. The Client Access/400 Console adapter supports a PC.

Base twinaxial support provides attachment of up to 40 5250-type workstations (displays/printers) to eight ports with a maximum of seven devices per port.

Base ASCII support provides six ports. Each port can support one workstation (display/printer) or a display with a display attached auxiliary printer for a maximum connectivity of 12 devices or two devices per port.

Base support for the Workstation Adapter (for LocalTalk) provides support for up to 31 devices on a LocalTalk network. Devices include Macintosh personal computers, Macintosh printers, LocalTalk-compatible devices and the IBM Workstation Adapter feature.

The Client Access/400 Console option allows attachment of a PC as the system console for the AS/400 system. The attachment is via an asynchronous communication line on the AS/400 system, to the serial port, standard on most PCs, using new console attachment cables. Client Access/400 software is required for a PC to provide the system console function.

To reduce the effect of utility power interruptions and the associated system recovery activities, 9406 3X0 models include the Battery Power Unit feature as standard on all plant shipped system units and attached Expansion/Extension Towers. The battery power unit allows the 9406 3X0 models to remain powered-up during short power outages and to perform a main storage dump to the internal DASD prior to power-down for longer outages. The internal battery test warns of low battery capacity.

Concurrent repair, standard on Models 310 and 320, optional on Model 300, makes it possible to repair DASD devices on the system without down time. The availability improvement of mirroring and device parity protection (RAID) is enhanced by being able to repair or replace failed drives while the system continues to run.

One removable magnetic tape media device is required on 9406 Model 3X0 systems. Options include integrated 1/4-inch or 8mm cartridge tape units or external 8mm or 1/2-inch tape units.

The 9427 can be used for save/restore, alternate IPL (except on Models D04, D06, D10 and D20), program distribution, migration, data interchange, automatic migration of data between DASD and tape, and mass storage for data archive. Full interchange of data is supported with the 7208-002, 7208-012 and 7208-232 tape drives, and the AS/400 Advanced Series internal 7GB 8mm tape units, using the proper tape density and 7208-002/012 tape media.

Media is handled in two, ten-cartridge magazines, which can easily be added to or removed from the tape library. Each library has a bar-code reader used to inventory the library contents, and a display on the front panel that is used for status and error codes. Keys located next to the display are used for selecting operating options. The 9427 has a front door of clear plastic so that the robotics, drives and cartridge tapes can be seen while in operation. The door has a key-lock for security.

Neither the 7GB 8mm Cartridge Tape unit located in the AS/400 system unit, nor the 7208-222, can be migrated to a 9427.

The 9427 is attached to the AS/400 via the Removable Media Device Attachment (#2621), with a maximum of one 9427 per #2621. The Removable Media Device Attachment (#2621) has two SCSI ports. The 9427 can attach to the #2621 using one or two ports (two ports are required for maximum performance of the 9427). If the 9427 is attached using only one SCSI port, then the other SCSI port can be used to attach other devices. A feature is available to support attachment to two systems with random access to cartridges, tape mirroring, offline tape copy and compare, and a label printer port.

Support for the 9427 is provided by OS/400 Version 3 Release 1. Backup, Recovery and Media Services/400 (5763-BR1) 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 library applications, OS/400 provides a library command interface.

Conversion Considerations:

Model conversions will be offered to allow AS/400 9404 or 9406 systems (except B models), to move to the AS/400 Advanced Series models. A 9404 system will maintain the machine type number designation and serial number when converting to the new 3x0 models. These conversions will require the replacement of the System Unit and some of the features. Much of the customer's investment in hardware and software will be preserved while moving to the new, advanced design hardware.

System upgrades involve substantial change to an installed system. Accounting and tax implications may result and should be reviewed by your tax advisor.

Staged Upgrade Offering (#0202):

(For IBM US, No Longer Available as of July 31, 1996) This priced option provides an upgrade alternative that allows a customer to use the upgrade hardware for a limited period of time to translate and validate user applications prior to the actual upgrade. This priced offering requires careful advance planning.

Additional information on system upgrades:

· Software Migration:

Software Migration will be similar to previous AS/400 upgrades. OS/400 Version 3 Release 0.5 will be required for the AS/400 Advanced System 9406 Model 3x0. It is recommended that this version of OS/400 be installed on the existing 9404/9406 system prior to the system conversion, to ensure software and application compatibility.

• Internal I/O Conversion:

When migrating internal I/O features, they must be converted, for a charge, using a feature migration kit. See the Optional Feature section for a complete listing of all the features which require a migrate kit.

• Rack Migration:

All 9309 racks (except Model 001) migrate as 9309 racks with feature #9141 or #9171. #9141 racks cannot be directly attached to an AS/400 Advanced System 9406 Model 3x0, however, they may be attached if there is a #9171 or #5040/#5042 in the string. If the customer does not have a #9171 or #5040/#5042 rack, they can upgrade their current 9406 system unit rack into a 5043 via a conversion kit.

• Data Conversion:

When converting to the new systems, existing data on the system will be preserved and no save/restore will be required unless it is resident on DASD devices that are no longer supported. In these cases a save and restore can be performed to migrate the data, or new DASD can be purchased and installed on the existing system and then the data transferred. Customer buying a new #6502 RAID DASD controller may also require a save/restore if they want to move existing internal DASD onto the new controller card. IBM will move the data off of 9404 #6100 load source devices to the new load source device, eliminating the need for a save/restore by the customer.

• Upgrade Process

Upgrading a 9406 or 9404 to an AS/400 Advanced System 9406 Model 3x0 is a task that requires advance planning by marketing, service and customer personnel. Version 3 Release 0.5 of OS/400* and the related licensed programs should be installed well in advance of installing the model upgrade MES. There may be hardware features and/or software, including PTFs, required to install Version 3 Release 0.5 software and the model upgrade. Refer to the System Upgrade Road Map, SX41-3135, for additional information.

• DSLO Restrictions

A 9404 version of an AS/400 Advanced System cannot provide a 9406 AS/400 Advanced System or AS/400 Advanced Server with operating system code via the DSLO option when running Version 3 Release 0.5.

A 9406 AS/400 Advanced Server can provide operating system code to a 9402/9404/9406 AS/400 Advanced System or Advanced Server via the DSLO option.

Limitations

Not applicable.

Hardware Requirements

The minimum system configuration consists of a 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.

A Macintosh personal computer attached to the Workstation Adapter can also serve as the system console. 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 IBM representative. This telephone line is in addition to the one needed for electronic customer support.

An IBM

5858,

7855 or equivalent modem is included as part of the minimum system configuration and is required for electronic customer support.

Software Requirements

The 9406 3x0 models require the support of OS/400 Version 3 Release 0.5, or later.

The AS/400 Wireless LAN Adapter, File Server I/O Processor, and Cryptographic Processor features on the Advanced System require the support of OS/400 Version 3 Release 1.0.

Disk unit features #1205/#4205, #4605/#6605, #4606/#6606/#8606, and #4607/#6607/#8607 require the support of OS/400 Version 3, Release 0.5, with no-charge feature #1984, OS/400 DASD Hardware Update.

For support required for individual features, refer to feature/specify code list.

Electronic Customer Support

The modem used for electronic customer support must conform to the following technical specifications:

• Synchronous operation at 2400bps and 1200bps
• Compatibility with V.22bis and/or V.22
• Optionally, synchronous operation at 9600bps compatible with V.32
• Full duplex on 2-wire switched lines
• CCITT V.24/V.28 and EIA-232 interface
• CCITT V.54 loop 2 and loop 3 diagnostics
• Bit-synchronous (HDLC) V.25bis dialing (pulse, tone, or automatic)
• Manual dialing if no V.25bis

The following electronic customer support connectivity is supported using the IBM 7855 9600bps modem in locations where the IBM Information Network (IIN) and the following facilities are available:

• To the IBM service support system via the IBM Information Network (IIN) using 9600bps leased lines
• To the IBM service support system directly using 5858 compatibility mode at 2400bps
• To IBMLink via IIN using 9600bps switched or leased lines

The electronic customer support modem presently shipped with the system in European, Mid-East, and African countries is a 5858, CDS or a PTT mandated modem. Also, the use of the 7855 in these countries is dependent upon PTT homologation.

Internal Disk Unit IOPs

Multi-Function I/O Processor (MFIOP)

The MFIOP is a base feature on the 9404/9406 AS/400s and is not orderable. It controls up to four internal disk units on all models.

The maximum number of internal and external disk unit controllers allowed on the system unit of a Model 300 is three and on the Model 310 is one. No internal or external disk unit controllers are allowed on the system unit of the Model 320. They must be attached on the expansion unit.

(#6502) Disk Unit Controller for RAID:   (For IBM US, No Longer Available as of July 1, 1997)

The #6502 controller provides RAID-5 protection for internal disk units installed in the Storage Expansion Units (#5051/5052) and the Storage Expansion Tower (#5061). In addition to providing RAID-5 protection for disks, #6502 is also designed to work as a high performance controller for disks protected by system mirroring or disks with no protection. In the RAID-5 configuration, disk unit protection is provided at less cost than mirroring, and with greater performance than system checksums. #6502 offers higher performance than feature #6530.

The #6502 is the default disk controller on 3XX systems with V3R0.5 installed. #6512 will be the default on 3XX systems when V3R1 software is installed.

A minimum of four drives of the same capacity are needed for a valid configuration using the RAID-5 disk unit controller. A maximum of two arrays are allowed per controller, with a maximum of ten drives allowed per array. All drives in an array must be of the same capacity. Parity is spread on four or eight drives. 1.03GB, 1.96GB, and 4.19GB disk units can be RAID-5 protected with the controller. Models 300 and 310 can support up to eight RAID-5 protected Disk units when using the #5051 Storage Expansion Unit. Each system unit or expansion tower can support up to 16 RAID-5 protected disk units when the #5052 Storage Expansion Unit is installed.

(#6512) Disk Unit Controller for RAID:   (For IBM US, No Longer Available as of June 30, 2000)

The #6512 controller provides RAID-5 protection for internal disk units and includes a 4MB write-cache. The #6512 is designed to control disk units installed in the Storage Expansion Units (#5051/5052) and Storage Expansion Tower (#5061). In addition to providing RAID-5 protection for disks, #6512 is also designed to work as a high performance controller for disks protected by system mirroring or disks with no protection. In the RAID-5 configuration, disk unit protection is provided at less cost than mirroring, and with greater performance than system checksums. #6512 offers greater performance than features #6530 and #6502.

The #6512 is the default disk controller on 3XX systems with V3R1 installed. #6502 will be the default on 3XX systems when V3R0.5 software is installed.

The new #6512 provides a 4MB write-cache, faster microprocessor and memory for increased performance compared with the 2MB write-cache #6502 Disk Unit Controllers. The #6512 is supported on the Models 300, 310, and 320.

Feature #6512 supports the same type of disk unit configurations as the #6502. Disk units attached with #6512 and not in a RAID-5 array can be mirrored and/or unprotected. The Disk Unit controller also supports mixing different internal disk features on the same controller.

A minimum of four drives of the same capacity are needed for a valid configuration using the RAID-5 disk unit controller. A maximum of two arrays are allowed per controller, with a maximum of ten drives allowed per array. All drives in an array must be of the same capacity. A 1.03GB, 1.96GB and 4.19GB disk unit can be RAID-5 protected with this controller. A maximum of 16 disk units are supported per controller.

Feature #6512 on Models 300, 310 and 320 requires the support of OS/400 V3R1 with V3R1 Internal DASD Hardware Update for OS/400 (feature #1985).

One expansion unit (#5051, #5052,) is required to support DASD units when using #6512, Disk Unit Controller for RAID.

Workstation Controllers

Following are the workstation controllers supported on the 9406 3x0 models. There are limits to the total number of controllers that can be configured into the system and these can be found in the System Unit Summary.

(#5540, #5541, #5542, #5543) System Console Specifies:   (For IBM US, #5543 No Longer Available as of December 29, 2000)

(For IBM US, #5541 No Longer Available as of August 31, 1998)

A system console must be selected on each new order. One of the specify codes from the following list must be on the order to identify the type of system console support.

• #5540 System console attached to Twinaxial Workstation Controller/Adapter

Requires that the MFIOP is #9152.

• #5541 System console attached to ASCII Workstation Controller

Requires that the MFIOP is #9153. An ASCII controller #9141 will be included to control the ASCII system console. The LocalTalk adapter, if installed, must be placed into a #2623.

Not supported on the Model 320.

• #5542 System console attached to the Workstation Adapter (for LocalTalk)

The MFIOP specified will depend on the additional workstations ordered.

• #5543 System console is a PC, attached via an asynchronous communication line

(#5543) Client Access/400 Console Option:   (For IBM US, No Longer Available as of December 29, 2000)

The Client Access/400 Console option allows attachment of a PC as the system console for the AS/400. Previously, the choices for system console were twinaxial, ASCII and LocalTalk. The Client Access/400 Console is now an additional option. The attachment is via an asynchronous communication line on the AS/400 to the serial port, standard on most PCs, using new console attachment cables. Client Access/400 software is required for a PC to provide the system console function.

This new option is ideal for LAN based systems because the PC being used as the system console can also be attached to the AS/400 via a LAN. This eliminates the need to purchase a separate device for use as the system console (or an emulation adapter if a PC was to be used as the system console).

Specify Code #5543 provides the capability to connect a PC workstation as the system console, via the serial communications port. Prerequisites include one EIA 232/V.24 One-Line Adapter (#9612/#2612) and a Console Attachment Cable (#9026 or #9027).

(#6050) Twinaxial Workstation Controller:   (For IBM US, No Longer Available as of May 31, 2001)

The Twinaxial Workstation Controller provides support for 40 5250 type displays or printers. Card slots required: One.

(#6141, #9141) ASCII Workstation Controller:   (For IBM US, No Longer Available as of March 31, 1999)

The ASCII workstation controller provides support for six ASCII devices. With #6142 attached the #6141 can support 18 ASCII devices. Card slots required: One.

(#6142) ASCII 12 Port Attachment:   This feature provides an additional 12 ports to the six provided by #6141. One #6142 may attach per #6141.

(#6054, #9054) Workstation Adapter (for LocalTalk):   The Workstation Adapter provides LocalTalk network support for up to 31 devices. Devices include Macintosh personal computers, Macintosh printers, LocalTalk-compatible devices and the IBM workstation feature. Although the Adapter will physically connect up to 31 devices, the recommended performance limitation is 20 active sessions.

When LocalTalk is specified as the system console the #9054/#6054 is attached to the MFIOP (#9152 or #9153). All other LocalTalk controllers are attached to #2623 Six Line Communication Controllers. When the #6054 is attached to the #2623 only one other adapter (X.21, EIA 232/V.24 or V.35) is allowed and the third adapter slot must not be used.

(#8152, #9152) Optional Multi-Function IOP with Twinaxial Support:   (For IBM US, #8152 No Longer Available as of August 31, 1998)

The #8152 is available as an alternative to #9153 on upgrade orders where an additional twinaxial controller is desired. Not allowed if #5541 (ASCII System Console) is installed. The #8152 has the same function as the #9152 (Multi-Function IOP with Twinaxial Support) but is a priced feature that should be ordered when a twinaxial workstation controller is required on a model upgrade.

#9152 is a no-charge specify code used when base twinaxial support is required on a new system order.

(#9149) Twinaxial Passthru Adapter:   (For IBM US, No Longer Available as of August 31, 1998)

Included whenever #9152 is specified, #9149 adapts a twinaxial cable to the twinaxial function that resides inside the #9152. It can be replaced with a #6147 that in addition to supporting twinaxial passthru, supports an external diskette.

(#9153) Standard MFIOP without Twinaxial Support:   An MFIOP comes standard on 3x0 models. Depending on the system console and the additional workstations on the initial order #9153, #9152 or #8152 may be specified. When one #6054 or #9054 is attached #9153 controls a local talk system console. Without the #6054 or #9054 attached to #9153 the system console is driven by the first workstation controller found when the system searches the bus.

#9153 is standard on upgrades to Models 300 and 310 from 9404/9406 Models C through F.

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. When used with the Portable Transaction Computers application changes to address the smaller screen size of these devices may be desired.

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. In addition to the AS/400 Wireless LAN Adapter, the following AS/400 wireless LAN networking devices are available from IBM:

Fax Adapter

(#2664) Integrated Fax Adapter:   (For IBM US, No Longer Available as of December 31, 1999)

The Integrated Fax Adapter allows facsimile data to be entered, stored, retrieved, received and printed by the AS/400. Sending a FAX is as easy as printing or sending E-mail. This feature provides the AS/400 with two ports capable of transmission and receipt of facsimile data to or from a Group 3 capable fax machine, another AS/400 with an Integrated Fax Adapter, or PCs with appropriately programmed fax adapters. 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 also supports a 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 and the PS/2 product can coexist. The Integrated Fax Adapter offers the advantages of being simpler to install, operate and manage since it is an integrated feature of the AS/400.

The Integrated Fax Adapter can simultaneously support two send, two receive, or one send and one receive operation. To the AS/400, 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.

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 two ports are configured for sending Fax documents and only one is being used, then the limit is raised to approximately 60 text pages. Resident cover pages are counted against this limit. A4, A3, and B4 page sizes are supported. The A3 page size is truncated to B4 on transmit.

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, Fascicle VII.3 Recommendations T.4 and T.30.

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

• Group 3 MR
• Group 3 MH

Feature #2664 supports the following modem standards:

• V.21 ch2 (300bps)
• V.27 ter (2400, 4800bps)
• V.29 (7200, 9600bps)

Availability of this feature in any particular country is dependent on homologation approval in 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.

OS/400 Version 3 Release 0.5, or later, and Facsimile Support/400 Version 3 Release 0.5, or later, are required to support this feature.

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

Cryptographic Processors

(#2620) Cryptographic Processor:   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). 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 3 Release 0.5 or V3R1, and PRPQ 5799-XBY. PKA Functions require V3R1. Feature #2620 is not supported by IBM Cryptographic Support/400.

Card slots required: One. Maximums: One.

(#2628) Cryptographic Processor - Commercial:   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 3 Release 0.5 or V3R1, and PRPQ 5799-XBY. PKA Functions require V3R1. Feature #2628 is not supported by IBM Cryptographic Support/400.
