Description

The AS/400 Advanced Server system units shipped from the plant contain the system processor, main storage, Multi-Function I/O Processor (FSIOP), integrated DASD, a communications adapter, a LAN adapter, and a workstation controller for twinaxial, ASCII or LocalTalk** workstations, or the Client Access/400 Console option.

The base AS/400 Advanced Server 9406 Model 30S has a processor with 10.9 RPR for client/server environment, and 32 MB of main storage. An optional system processor is available on the 9406 Model 30S with an RPR rating of 23.5. The two options provide different levels of performance and corresponding different capacities of main storage. Refer to the model summary chart for the optional processor features and their characteristics.

The Multi-Function I/O Processor provides support for disk storage, diskette, internal tape, workstations (displays/printers), and communication line ports.

The first communication line port is standard and is equipped with an EIA 232/V.24 adapter that can be used with IBM's Electronic Customer Support (ECS) facility. Some optional adapters provide two communication line ports.

Optional second or third communication line ports on the Multi-Function I/O Processor, are available with EIA 232/V.24, X.21 or V.35 adapters. 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 Model 30S is one 1.96GB 3 1/2-inch disk unit. Optionally, a 4.19GB disk unit may be substituted for the base in the Model 30S.

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

Up to 40 5250-type devices (displays/printers) can be attached to eight ports on the Model 30s.

The base ASCII controller provides six ports. Each port can attach 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.

The base Workstation Adapter (for LocalTalk) provides for attachment of 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.

A total of seven active fixed function displays are supported. This includes any combination of the following: 5250 twinaxial type displays attached directly to the system or from remote locations via a remote controller; ASCII type displays directly or remotely attached; personal computers with 5250 emulation software (Enhanced 5250 Emulation Program, S36/38 Workstation Emulation Program, Remote 5250 Emulation Program); a PC attached as system console, using the Client Access/400 Console option; 3270 type displays attached via controllers, the Host Command Facility (HFC), Network Routing Facility (NRF).

PCs with LU6.2 type connections such as AS/400 PC Support Workstation Function or RUMBA/400 sessions do not count toward the total maximum.

The base system includes one LAN adapter. One of the following LAN adapters may be included in the base system at no charge:

  • Base 16/4Mbps Token-Ring IOA (#9249)(#6616, Integrated PC Server required)
  • Base Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 IOA (#9381)(#6616, Integrated PC Server required)
  • Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 Adapter/HP (#9617)
  • 16/4Mbps Token-Ring Network Adapter/HP (#9619)

or, one of the following adapters may be included in the base system for an additional charge:

  • Fiber Distributed Data Interface Adapter (#8664)
  • Shielded Twisted-Pair Distributed Data Interface Adapter (#8665)
  • File Server I/O Processor (#8716-19 or #8726-29)

Refer to LAN feature descriptions for more information.

To reduce the effect of utility power interruptions and the associated system recovery activities, the AS/400 Advanced Server 9406 Model 30S includes a standard Battery Power Unit on all plant-shipped system units and attached expansion units. The battery power unit allows the system 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.

Because of the important contribution this feature can have toward improved system availability, it is highly recommended.

One removable magnetic tape media device is required for alternate IPL. Options include 1/4-inch cartridge, 8mm cartridge and 1/2-inch cartridge and reel tape units.

Model Description 9406-30S:   Standard in the base of Model 30S is one 1.03 GB 3 1/2-inch disk unit. Optionally, a 1.96 GB DASD unit may be substituted for the base disk unit in the Model 30S.

The 3490E-CXA and 3590-B1A tape drives within the library attach to the AS/400 in the same way as the 3490E-CXX and 3490 B1A tape drives. On the AS/400, one EIA 232/V.24 Line Adapter or a LAN attachment is required for each 3494 Tape Library.

Maximums: See AS/400 Model Summary tables.

Magstar MP Tape Subsystem

The Magstar MP Tape Subsystem is an automated tape subsystem for the AS/400 providing high levels of reliability, with lower price, capacity and performance than the 3590. Device native data rate is 2.2MB/sec, and up to 6.6MB/sec with compaction. Native capacity is 5GB per cartridge, and up to 15GB per cartridge with compaction. The Magstar MP tape cartridge is a new, unique design.

The Magstar MP Tape Subsystem is available in five models. The B00 is a stand-alone drive. The B01 and B11 are automated models with a single tape drives, supporting random access to two removable magazines, each supporting ten tape cartridges, with a total capacity of up to 300GB with compaction. The B01 is stand-alone, and the B11 is a rack mounted.

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 9MB 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 20MB 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 10GB, or typically over 30GB 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 300GB of data. Exploitation of the capacity is a function of data characteristics.

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 DXX and later models of the AS/400, 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.

OS/400 Version 3 Release 1 (with PTFs), or later, is required. Alternate IPL for V3R1 is supported with RPQ 843860 (see RPQ for special instructions). Because IBM software distribution will not be provided for the 3590, V3R1 systems will require a second tape drive. The 3590 cannot read or write 3490E tape cartridges.

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.

9427 8mm Tape Cartridge Library Models 210 and 211

The 9427 Models 210 and 211 are automated tape libraries supported on all AS/400 D, E and F models (except Models D02 and E02), and on all AS/400 Advanced Series models. The 9427-210 is a stand-alone unit, and the 9427-211 is rack-mount unit that requires 14 EIA units and 1/2 of the horizontal rack space. Two Model 211 units can be placed in a rack, side-by-side. Each 9427 supports one or two 7GB 8mm tape drives. Up to twenty tape cartridges are supported. Optional features to support dual host channels, tape mirroring for fault tolerance, off-line host independent functions (tape copy and compare), and a label printer port will be available. Device performance is 1.5MB/sec. The 9427 is available in black or white.

Tape cartridge capacity is 7GB and sustained data transfer rate is 500KBps. Using Improved Data Recording Capability (IDRC), maximum tape cartridge capacity is up to 14GB, and effective data transfer rate is up to 1MBps, depending on the type of data. Total 9427 capacity is up to 280GB.

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 available to allow existing AS/400 Client/Server systems to move to the new AS/400 Advanced Servers. A 9404 system will maintain the 9404 type number designation and serial number when migrating to the new system. These conversions will require the replacement of the system unit and some of the features. Most of the customer's investment in hardware and software is preserved while moving to the next generation models.

Because these system upgrades involve substantial change to an installed system, accounting and tax implications may result and should be reviewed by the your tax advisor.

I/O features remain the property of the customer. Most I/O that is supported on the Server Series models will also be supported on the Advanced Server models. See the optional feature section for a complete listing of all the features which do migrate.

The following 9402 Model 100 and 9404 Model 135 and 140 features and devices CANNOT be converted or exchanged and are NOT supported on the Advanced Servers:

#1102 - Battery Power Unit

#2622 - 3490 Magnetic Tape Subsystem Attachment (For IBM US, No Longer Available as of July 31, 1996)

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 advanced planning.

Additional information on system upgrades

·         Software Migration:

Software Migration is similar to previous AS/400 upgrades. OS/400 Version 3 Release 0.5 is required for the Advanced Servers. It is recommended that this version of OS/400 be installed on the existing 9402/9404 system prior to the system conversion, to ensure software and application compatibility. Refer to Software Announcement 194-NNN (RFA 22594), dated May 3, 1994, for information on potential limitations.

  • Internal I/O Conversion:

When migrating internal I/O features, they must be converted, for a charge, using a feature conversion migrate kit. A 9402 Model 100 CANNOT migrate more than four DASD units. See the Optional Feature section for a listing of all the features which require a migrate kit.

  • Data Conversion:

When converting to the AS/400 Advanced Servers, existing data on the system is preserved. Customer buying a new #6502 RAID DASD controller may require a save/restore if they want to move existing internal DASD onto the new controller card.

  • Upgrade Process

Converting a 9402 or 9404 to a new AS/400 Advanced Server, is a task that requires advance planning by marketing, service and customer personnel. OS/400 Version 3 Release 1 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 1 software and the model upgrade. Refer to the System Upgrade Road Map, SX41-3135, for additional information.

  • DSLO Restrictions

A 9402/9404 version of an AS/400 Advanced Server 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 AS400 Advanced Server can provide operating system code to a 9402/9404/9406 AS/400 Advanced System or Advanced Server via the DSLO option.

  • Rack Migration

All 9309 racks (except the Model 001) migrate as 9309 racks with feature #9141 or #9171 and can be attached directly to Model 30S for the purpose of attaching external tape.

  • Base LAN to Base FSIOP Conversion Considerations

The feature conversions providing for an exchange of the base Ethernet or Token-Ring adapter for a Base 16MB One-Port FSIOP or Base 32MB One-Port FSIOP will require OS/400 Version 3, Release 1, and IBM LAN Server/400 as prerequisites. The base Ethernet or Token-Ring adapters that are removed become the property of IBM and must be returned.

Limitations

Discussed elsewhere in the text of this document.

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 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 six meters (20 feet) of the operator's panel, and the operator's panel must be viewable from this display.

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

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

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 AS/400 Advanced Servers require the support of OS/400 Version 3 Release 0.5, or later. Refer to Software Announcement 194-NNN (RFA 22594), dated May 3, 1994, for information on potential limitations.

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

Disk unit features #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 Model 30S and is not orderable. It controls up to four internal disk units.

Each system unit and expansion unit (#5062) can support one of the following internal Disk unit IOPs:

(#6502) 9406 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.

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

#6512 for 3XX

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 4 MB write-cache, faster microprocessor and memory for increased performance compared with the 2MB write-cache #6502 Disk Unit Controller.

The #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 1.03 GB, 1.96 GB and 4.19 GB disk unit can be RAID-5 protected with this controller. A maximum of 16 disk units are supported per controller.

#6512 on Model 30S, requires the support of OS/400 V3R1 with V3R1 Internal DASD Hardware Update for OS/400 (#1985).

The following disk features can be RAID-5 protected when placed in a Storage Expansion Unit (#5051/#5052) or Storage Expansion Tower #5061. Disk features installed in the system unit are attached to the MFIOP and CANNOT be RAID-5 protected.

On new orders it is recommended that the first diskette be attached with #6147 and the second diskette be attached with #6146.

(#6146) Diskette Adapter:   (For IBM US, No Longer Available as of August 31, 1998)

#6146 has a prerequisite of #2624 in order to support one of the following diskette types:

  • 9331-011 8-inch Diskette Unit
  • 9331-012 5.25-inch Diskette Unit

Can be used on any existing #2624. Can be added (in conjunction with a #2624) to any model for the purpose of providing an external diskette attachment.

(#6147) Diskette Adapter:   (For IBM US, No Longer Available as of August 31, 1998)

This adapter is attached to the MFIOP (#9152 or #9153) to provide support for one diskette. The following diskette types are supported.

  • 9331-011 8-inch Diskette Unit
  • 9331-012 5.25-inch Diskette Unit

Workstation Controllers

Following are the workstation controllers supported on the Model 30S. 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.

A total of seven fixed function displays are supported. This includes any combination of the following: 5250 twinaxial type displays attached directly to the system or from remote locations via a remote controller; ASCII type displays directly or remotely attached; personal computers with 5250 emulation software (Enhanced 5250 Emulation Program, S36/38 Workstation Emulation Program, Remote 5250 Emulation Program); 3270 type displays attached via controllers, the Host Command Facility (HFC) or Network Routing Facility (NRF).

PC's with LU6.2 type connections such as AS/400 PC Support Workstation Function or RUMBA/400 sessions do not count toward the total maximum.

(#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 is included to control the ASCII system console. The Local Talk controller (if any exist) must be placed into a #2623.

  • #5542 System console attached to LocalTalk Workstation Adapter

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).

On Model 30S, order no-charge specify code, #5543, Client Access/400 Console. This specify code 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 Adapter/Controller:   (For IBM US, No Longer Available as of May 31, 2001)

The Twinaxial workstation adapter/controller provides support for 40 5250 type displays or printers.

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

The ASCII workstation controller provides support for 6 ASCII devices. With #6142 attached the #6141 can support 18 ASCII devices. Card slots required: One.

(#6054, #9054) Workstation Adapter (for LocalTalk):   The LocalTalk 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 can 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 be unused.

(#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 workstation 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 is a daughter book that adapts a twinaxial cable to the twinaxial function that resides inside the #9152. It is a daughter book because it can be replaced with a #6147 that in addition to supporting twinaxial passthru supports an external diskette.

(#9153) Multi-Function IOP:   An MFIOP comes standard on 9404 and 9406 systems. Depending on the system console and the additional workstations on the initial order #9153, #9152 or #8152 may be specified (see Order Process Requirements section in this section). 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 comes standard on upgrades to Model 30S.

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

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

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

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

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

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

  • PCMCIA Type II, Micro Channel*, and PC AT (ISA) wireless LAN adapters to enable PCs to participate in the AS/400 Wireless LAN network.
  • Lightweight, compact RS-485 and Ethernet wireless LAN Access Points.
  • A variety of wireless bar-code scanning data collection devices called Portable Transaction Computers (PTCs).

For more information on the above devices, see the sales manual pages for the 248X family of products.

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

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:   (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). 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. Feature #2620 is not supported by IBM Cryptographic Support/400.

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

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

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

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

This feature requires the support of OS/400 Version 3 Release 0.5 or V3R1, and PRPQ 5799-XBY. Feature #2628 is not supported by IBM Cryptographic Support/400.
