QUESTION:
The announcement letter for the RISC System Model M20 indicates
support for the 3510 PS/2 disk enclosure unit with 200 and 400 MB
hard files. These options do not appear in the CFRS6000
configurator. Are these options available now? Please indicate
which features under the 3510 unit are supported. For example, a
212 MB SCSI drive (feature #1242) is an option - is this the 200 MB
drive referenced in the announcement? Also, I assume that the
400 MB drive supported is feature #1081.
---------- ---------- ---------- --------- ---------- ----------
A: You are correct; the PS/2 options are not available under CFRS6000.
You will need to use code 8550-ZZZ to order it. Below is an extract
from the M20 Announcement Letter:
SUPPORTED DEVICES
The following devices are supported by the IBM
RISC System/6000 POWERstation M20 and M2A:
PAGING FILES: The POWERstation M20 and M2A provide
support for the IBM 3510 PS/2 SCSI Storage Enclosure
with either the 200MB or the 400MB hard files.
NOTE: The IBM SCSI Single-Ended Controller Cable (2834),
announced in this announcement, is required for
attachment of this device to IBM RISC System/6000
POWERstation M20 and M2A. For more information about
the storage device and ordering details, see IBM Product
Announcement 191-053, dated April 23, 1991.
ORDERING INFORMATION (from 191-053)
The 3510 can be ordered as a feature on the following
system units for new equipment orders: 8550, 8555, 8560,
8565, 8570, 8573, 8580, 8590, 8595, 3510 and 3511. When
ordering for installed system units, process as a feature
of special ordering vehicle 8550-ZZZ.
You are also astute in finding that there is not a feature code for
a 200MB Disk Drive. The disk drives mentioned in 191-053 are:
o PS/2 60MB SCSI Fixed Disk Drive (#1049, 6451049)
o PS/2 80MB SCSI Fixed Disk Drive (#1045, 6451045)
o PS/2 120MB SCSI Fixed Disk Drive (#1050, 6451050)
o PS/2 160MB SCSI Fixed Disk Drive (#1046, 6451046)
o PS/2 320MB SCSI Fixed Disk Drive (#1108, 6451108)
o PS/2 400MB SCSI Fixed Disk Drive (#1081, 6451081).
Yes, the 212MB Fixed Disk Drive is supported in the M20.
The description of this Disk Drive is in Announcement Letter
192-232, and is ordered with feature code 1242 (P/N 6451242),
like you originally guessed. It must be ordered through the
PS/2 process.
