PC SERVER S/390 ENHANCEMENTS ________________________________________ New and enhanced functions for the IBM PC Server 500 System/390(R) (PC Server S/390(R)) family of models are now available. The new functions are delivered as a code update for the S/390 Microprocessor Complex. This update consists of both Licensed Internal Code and non-licensed code. The enhancements include Channel Program support for Extended Count Key Data (ECKD), 3390/9345 device support for application developers and commercial accounts and 3350/3330 DASD support for migrating from older levels of S/370(TM) hardware. In addition, the enhanced functions address existing S/370 customers that have specific communication requirements such as Synchronous Data Link Control (SDLC) and Binary Synchronous Control (BSC) support and TCP/IP terminal emulation to support 3270 data streams. Support for multiple SCSI tape drives and improved support for PC printers are included. Several performance enhancements have been made to the execution of decimal instructions, support of I/O assist in VM/ESA, and some I/O path lengths have been shortened in ESA mode. The enhanced update is available at no additional charge or additional license fees to the existing and future customers of the IBM PC Server 500 S/390 systems. PLANNED AVAILABILITY DATES: 3/15/95 HIGHLIGHTS __________ Enhanced code update is offered at no additional charge or additional license fee. o New DASD Support - ECKD Channel Program support - 3390, 3380 Triple Dense, 9345 and 3350/3330 device support o Enhanced Communications - SDLC - Portmaster Adapter/A (VM/VSE) - SDLC - WAC (VM/VSE) - BiSync - Portmaster Adapter/A (VM/VSE) - BiSync - WAC (VM/VSE) - 3172 SDLC Gateway (MVS) o Printer - Enhance support for PC printers o Tape Support (C) Copyright IBM Corp. 1995 1 - Support of multiple SCSI tapes DESCRIPTION ___________ The following functions are either enhanced or added with the new IBM PC Server 500 S/390 code being made available. o New DASD Support - ECKD - 3390 - 3380 Triple Dense - 9345 - 3350 / 3330 o Communications - SDLC - Portmaster Adapter/A (VM/VSE) - Up to 2 adapters - 16 lines - 8 Port Synchronous - Switched/non-switched RS-232 - Autodial V.25 Bis - up to 19.2 Kbps - Supports VM/VSE environments as ICA - SDLC - WAC (VM/VSE) - Up to 4 adapters - 8 lines - Switched/non-switched RS-232 and V.35 - Non-Switched X.21 - Autodial V.25 Bis - up to 2.048 Mbps - Supports VM/VSE environments as ICA - BiSync - Portmaster Adapter/A (VM/VSE) - Up to 2 adapters - 16 lines - 8 Port Synchronous - Switched/non-switched RS-232 - up to 19.2Kbps - Supports VM/VSE environments as ICA - BiSync - WAC (VM/VSE) - Up to 4 adapters - 8 lines - Switched/non-switched RS-232 and V.35 - Non-Switched X.21 - Autodial V.25 Bis - up to 2.048 Mbps - Supports VM/VSE environments as ICA - 3172 SDLC Gateway (MVS) - WAC/Artic-Portmaster Adapter/A - SDLC communications - Supports MVS environments o Printer - Enhance support for PC printers o Tape Support - Support multiple SCSI tapes The details of the affected device managers follows: 2 Quick Reference o AWS3172 The current AWS3172 module will be replaced by three modules, LAN3172, MGR3172 and WAN3172 to look like the real 3172 mod 3 in terms of its three base components. - LAN3172 Provides the base Link Services Architecture (LSA) Peripheral and SubArea LAN 802.2 Interconnect function through VTAM. Multiple SNA/LSA Subchannel addresses can be specified and multiple LAN adapters will be supported through a single SNA/LSA address. - MGR3172 Provides the NetView Box Manager function for use with NetView in VM and MVS environments. - WAN3172 Provides 3172 SNA Interconnect capability to the VTAM XCA major node by mapping LSA LAN adapters to SDLC communications using either WAC or ARTIC/Portmaster Adapter/A lines in a MVS environment. The intent is to provide SDLC connections to MVS VTAM which would otherwise require a 37x5 NCP/PEP. SDLC will support leased point to point, dial in point to point or multidropped. Only dialed in connections are supported. o AWSCKD Provides extended count key data DASD emulation for 3390/9345/ECKD which includes 3380 triple dense connected to a 3880 model 3 control unit. In addition DASD emulation for 3330/3350 devices will be provided including track overflow. CKD read only support will be supported for various DASD devices. o AWSPBS Provides support for both SDLC and BiSYNC protocol on PC Server S/390 utilizing the ARTIC/Portmaster/A adapter as an Integrated Communication Adapter (ICA). Both SDLC and BiSYNC can reside simultaneously on the same adapter card. Synchronous modes may be individually selected for each of the eight ports. Any of the 8 ports can be configured for either SDLC or BiSYNC at data rates from 1200 to 19,200 bps. All ports are independently capable of maximum data rates. In addition, Autodial V.25 bis will be supported. SDLC is used to transmit EBCDIC code in a SNA network whereas BiSYNC can transmit both EBCDIC or ASCII code. Transmission exchanges are supported in half-duplex mode only. Both SDLC and BiSYNC will support point-to-point switched, point-to-point non-switched, or multidropped. Chapter 1. PC Server S/390 Enhancements 3 o AWSICA Provides support for either SDLC or BiSYNC function over a wide area network using the Wide Area Connector (WAC) adapter. Both switched and non-switched RS-232 and V.35 communication lines and non-switched X.21 are supported along with Autodial V.25 bis. The maximum data rate supported will be 2.048 Mbps. The WAC adapter will provide up to 2 ports per card with maximum of 4 cards per system. o AWS2821 The device manager will include the use of a control file. The control file is a simple OS/2 ASCII file, created with any OS/2 editor which will contain basic control lines. The user will have the ability to send control characters to the PC printer, before printing any output. This will allow the printer to receive controls such as rotating output, selecting character set and being able to print in duplex mode. 4 Quick Reference CHAPTER 2.

Also has the optional power supply and both optional backplanes preinstalled. (C) Copyright IBM Corp. 1995 5 OTHER NOTES FCC Classification All models of the PC Server S/390 are certified as meeting FCC CLASS A requirements. "Class A" devices are intended for use in a "Business Environment", rather than in a "Residential Environment". RAID Adapter Cache Array models come with the IBM Streaming RAID Adapter which includes 4 MB of RAM, of which more than 3M is available for Caching. Non-Array model does not have cache on the SCSI adapter. MEMORY OPTIONS ______________ PC Server / Pentium Memory: In general, any PC Server S/390 being used primarily or exclusively for S/390 processing (no significant OS/2 workload) will not require any additional PC memory. If the PC Server S/390 is to do any significant OS/2 based work (such as a LAN Server), additional PC memory may be required to support that workload. +--- NOTE: --------------------------------------------+ | | | All Pentium/Server memory must be installed in | | matched pairs of SIMMS. For 32M total expansion, use | | 2 16M SIMMs rather than 1 32M SIMM. | | | +-------------------------------------------------------+ The PC Server S/390 has a total of 8 memory sockets, with two of these occupied by the standard 32M of memory (2 x 16MB). SIMM sizes can be mixed as long as each 'pair' of SIMMs is the same size. 92G7209 16MB 70ns ECC memory kit (use sets of 2) 92G7210 32MB 70ns ECC memory kit (use sets of 2) 6 Quick Reference S/390 Processor Memory We recommend configuring PC Server S/390 systems with more S/390 memory than might normally be expected because of the I/O characteristics. Large S/390 memory sizes allow the use of "data in memory" techniques and reduces paging activity, both of which will usually improve system performance significantly. Additional S/390 memory comes on a 'daughter card' that attaches to the S/390 Microprocessor complex card. The 96M daughter card occupies an adjacent Micro Channel slot (for power only) 26H2931 32MB ECC memory Expansion for S/390 26H2978 96MB ECC memory Expansion for S/390 (occupies adjacent MC slot) This memory card is included and preinstalled on the -MYF and -MYC models. WIDE AREA NETWORK (WAN) ADAPTERS ________________________________ The following adapters and parts may be used to provide WAN services via SDLC and BSC communication facilities. 92G7516 MultiProtocol Adapter/A: Provides SDLC port (up to 19,200 bps), useful for remote SNA connection. Supported on VM and VSE as an ICA (Integrated Communications Adapter) port. Not supported on MVS systems. (Comm adapter cable for MultiProtocol: 1502067) (Before using the MultiProtocol Adapter card, consider the WAC (below) for improved performance and expandability.) 33G846X Wide Area Connector: One card with multiple 'personalities' to support up to two communications lines at up to 2.048M bps. Max of 4 WAC cards per system. Can support: RS-232, V.35, X.21, interfaces and can connect to various services such as DDS, SW-56, ISDN Basic, T-1, E-1, and Fractional T-1. (Part numbers vary depending on type of interface required: o 33G8465 = EIA RS232 (up to 19,200 bps) o 33G8466 = V.35 ( typically 56Kb ) o 33G8467 = X.21 (packet switched protocol) The base adapter (part numbers just above) provides one communications port or line. An Chapter 2. System Units 7 additional interface and connecting cable is required to provide the second line. The part numbers for this interface/connector are: o 33G8461 = EIA RS232 Interface & connector o 33G8462 = V.35 Interface & connector o 33G8463 = X.21 Interface & connector The base adapter and expansion interface can be mixed types. For example, you can use a 33G6466 (V.35) base adapter with a 33G8461 (RS-232) expansion interface. +--- NOTE: ----------------------------------+ | | | * Please note that the PC Server S/390 only | | provides support for RS-232 and V.35 | | (switched or non-switched) and X.21 | | (non-switched only). | | | +---------------------------------------------+ The WAC adapter with AWSICA provides either SDLC of BSC support for VM and VSE systems. Lines which run at 19.2 Kbs or less normally use the RS-232 interface while lines running at 56Kbs or greater normally use the V.35 interface. Since the WAC plus AWSICA emulate an ICA, this combination cannot be used on MVS systems. For MVS systems, the WAN3172 device manager can be used to support the WAC adapter as an SNA VTAM XCA Port. PORTMASTER/A The "IBM Realtime Interface Co-Processor Portmaster Adapter/A" (Portmaster) provides up to 8 SDLC or BSC lines per adapter. For VM and VSE systems it is supported by either the AWSPBS manager or the WAN3172 manager. For MVS systems, the WAN3172 manager must be used. In any of these systems, each Portmaster adapter can support up to 8 lines (each line up to 19.2 Kbps) with a maximum of 2 Portmaster adapters per system. The AWSPBS manager (VM and VSE) supports either SDLC or BSC, or a mixture (WAN3172 only supports SDLC). Multiple parts are required for each Portmaster installation. The following is a typical configuration for the PC Server S/390 8 Quick Reference +----------------------------------------------------+ | Table 1.

Just the thing for 'heavy duty' LAN traffic or for connecting to multiple rings. Chapter 2. System Units 9 Ethernet LAN Adapters 74G0850 EtherStreamer MC 32 Adapter: A good, all-around, high performance Ethernet adapter. 32 Bit, Streaming (40 MB/sec) BusMaster. Supports 10Base2, 10BaseT, and remote IPL. 73G7136 Dual EtherStreamer MC 32: Essentially two EtherStreamers on a single adapter. Just the thing for 'moderate' Ethernet traffic or for connecting to two segments. Two 10BaseT ports. (10Base-2 not avail.) OTHERS Other LAN Adapters for special environments: 06H5184: Quad-BT PeerMaster Adapter: For Heavy-duty Ethernet networks, or interconnecting/bridging multiple segments. Can even use multiple PeerMaster adapters in one system. "BT" is for 10Base-T (unshielded twisted pair) media. 06H6041: Quad-B2 PeerMaster Adapter: Same as the "BT", except that the "B2" is for 10Base-2 media (thin coax). 48G7171: A non-streaming Ethernet adapter for 'light-duty' networking. 10 Quick Reference CHAPTER 3. DASD AND ADAPTERS _____________________________ +--- NOTICE: -------------------------------------------+ | | | Configuration of PC Server S/390 systems can be | | confusing and difficult, especially for larger | | systems. Use of ICPA or PS-CFG is highly | | recommended. Consult with a Server Specialist if you | | have any doubts or questions. | | | +-------------------------------------------------------+ TERMINOLOGY This document will use the following terminology when referring to the PC Server S/390 configuration: SLOT A MicroChannel slot on the system board into which a MicroChannel adapter is inserted. BAY A position in the front of the system into which a single device (hard drive, tape unit, CDROM, etc.) can be inserted. BANK A group of similar 'Bays'. The Bays and Banks are arranged and 'named' in the following manner. BANK A Bank A consists of bays A1 and A2 which come with the 2.88 MB diskette drive and CDROM drive installed. BANK B Bank B Consists of bays B1 and B2. These come with the DAT tape drive and the 'glove box' installed. BANK C Bank C is the first 'hard drive' bank with bays C1 - C6. The base (standard) hard drives will be installed in this bank and bay C1 will be 'blocked' since the DAT tape uses the SCSI address that would normally be used by a hard drive in C1. All models include a hot-swap backplane installed in this bank. BANK D Bank D is the second hard drive bank with bays D1 - D6. All six bays are available for use. The 'MYC' model comes with the backplane for this bank preinstalled. (C) Copyright IBM Corp. 1995 11 BANK E Bank E is the third hard drive bank with bays E1 - E6. All six bays are available for use. The 'MYC' model comes with the backplane for this bank preinstalled. INTERNAL Maximum of 17 internal hard drives (with 1 inch form factor). Expanding beyond 5 drives (into bank 'D') requires additional Power Supply and a 'drive bay Backplane'. Expanding into the third bank (more than 11 drives) requires another backplane. (Note: The 'MYC' model has the power supply and both optional backplanes preinstalled.) ICPA and PS-CFG will properly configure power supply, backplanes and additional RAID/SCSI adapters. HARD DRIVES 94G2650 2.25GB SCSI Fast & Wide: 7ms access, 7200 RPM. This will be the 'standard' drive for most customers. OTHERS Other drives may be used for specialized applications. Check with your Server Specialist. 94G2649 1.12GB SCSI Fast & Wide: 7ms access, 7200 RPM. This will generally only be used in special situations, possibly to provide more r/w 'heads' for maximum performance. 94G2651 4.51GB SCSI Fast & Wide: 8ms access, 7200 RPM. 1.6 inch form factor, (only 3 drives per hard drive bank). May be useful in special applications. EXTERNAL DASD ENCLOSURES ________________________ Some users of the PC Server S/390 will find that they need more disk storage capacity than the 30 Gigabytes (useable, RAID-5) which is available within the system unit. For these users, the solution may be an external expansion enclosure. This section will provide an introduction to the available expansion enclosures and show some sample configurations. 12 Quick Reference +--- NOTE: --------------------------------------------+ | | | Configuration of external expansion units in | | conjunction with PC Server S/390 systems in optimal | | combinations can be difficult and confusing. Persons | | not very familiar with these units are encouraged to | | get assistance from a Server Specialist or other | | appropriately trained personnel. | | | +-------------------------------------------------------+ There are currently four external expansion units available from IBM o 3511 o 3516 o 3517 (SCSI Multi-Storage Enclosure) o 3518 (Enterprise Expansion Enclosure) The 3511 and 3516 are being phased out in favor of the 3517 and 3518. Anyone considering the use of a 3511 or 3516 should ensure the components are available prior to final commitment to these units. All the expansion units and configurations discussed below will assume the appropriate number of external SCSI (RAID) connectors are available on the main system unit to support the expansion configurations. Each configuration will include the appropriate number of SCSI cables to connect the external unit to the system unit. Although all of these enclosures can accept multiple disk types, we will only discuss 2.25 GB and 4.5 GB disks, as these are the ones most likely to be used in this environment. 3511: The 3511 is a flexible unit that can accept several disk types, but it is also relatively complex to configure and requires significant assembly. The 3511 is NOT a Hot/Swap capable unit. The maximum storage capacity (effective RAID-5) of a 3511 using 4.5 GB disks is 22.5 GB. Components of the 3511 typically include: 35110V0 The actual floor standing enclosure 03H3231 SCSI F/W connector to SCSI F/W External Option cable 06H3153 Upgrade 3511 to SCSI-Wide capable (2 required) 94G2648 Drive installation kit (one per hard drive) Chapter 3. DASD and Adapters 13 VARIOUS Disk Drives 07H0387 2.25 GB disk drive (max of 6 per 3511) 07H0834 4.5 GB disk drive (max of 6 per 3511) SAMPLE CONFIGURATION 35110V0 Base Enclosure unit 03H3231 SCSI F/W connection cable 06H3153 Convert internal connections to Fast/Wide (2 required) 94G2648 Hard Drive installation Kit (6; one per hard drive) 07H0834 4.5GB Hard drive 8ms access time 3516: The 3516 is a popular, hot/swap capable expansion unit that can accept up to 7 hard drives. It is relatively simple to configure and install. The maximum storage capacity (effective RAID-5) of a 3516 using 2.25 GB disks is 13.5 GB. (Due to configuration and availability considerations, the 2.25 GB drive is the only one likely to be used in a 3516.) Components of the 3516 typically include: 35167V0 The actual floor standing or desk-top enclosure 06H3231 SCSI F/W connector to SCSI F/W external option cable 94G3346 How/Swap tray; one needed per hard drive 07H0387 2.25 GB disk drive (max of 7 per 3516) SAMPLE CONFIGURATION 35167V0 Base Enclosure unit 06H3231 SCSI F/W connection cable 94G3346 Hot/Swap tray installation Kit (7: one per hard drive) 07H0387 2.25GB Hard drive 8ms access time (7 drives) 3517, SCSI Multi-Storage Enclosure: The 3517 is a new hot/swap capable expansion that uses the new Tray type III. It will accommodate up to five 2.25GB or 4.5GB hot/swap drives. It is very easy to configure and install. The maximum hot/swap storage capacity (effective RAID-5) of a 3517 using 4.5 GB disks is 18.0 GB. In addition to the Hot/Swap hard drives, up 14 Quick Reference to two additional SCSI devices can be installed in the 3517. This can be used for additional 4mm DAT tape drives or non-Hot/Swap hard drives. By using these non-hot/swap drive bays for additional 4.5 GB disk drives, total useable (RAID-5) capacity can be extended to 27GB. Components of the 3517 might typically include: 3517001 The actual floor standing or desk-top enclosure 06H3231 SCSI F/W connector to SCSI F/W option cable 74G8631 4MM DAT tape drive VARIOUS Hard disk drives 70G9862 2.25 GB SCSI-II Fast/Wide Hot Swap high performance HD-III (max 5) 70G9863 4.5 GB SCSI-II Fast/Wide Hot Swap high performance HD-III (max 5) 94G3055 2.25 GB SCSI drive for use in non-Hot/Swap drive bays (max 2) 94G3057 4.5 GB SCSI drive for use in non-Hot/Swap drive bays (max 2) SAMPLE CONFIGURATION This configuration will provide a total of 22.5 GB useable (RAID-5) disk space plus one 4mm DAT tape drive. One of the 4.5GB drives will not be non-hot/swap. The 4mm DAT is in addition to the one which comes standard with the PC Server S/390 3517001 Base Multi-SCSI expansion unit 06H3231 SCSI F/W connection cable 70G9863 4.5GB SCSI-II Fast/Wide HD-III hard disk drive (5 drives) 74G8631 4MM DAT tape drive 94G3057 4.5 GB SCSI drive for use in non-Hot/Swap drive bay 3518, Enterprise Expansion Enclosure The 3518 is a new enclosure which uses the same frame and layout as the PC Server 500/520 family. In addition to the three banks of hot/swap hard drive bays, it can also accomodate two half-high or one full-hight 5.25" drive (such as CD-ROM drives or Tape drives). Each hard drive bank can accomodate either 6 slim-height drives (1.12GB or 2.25GB) or 3 half-height drives (4.5GB). Two of the banks can be 'daisy-chained' to provide up to six half-height drives on a single SCSI channel. Using a combination of two SCSI channels and both 2.25GB and 4.5GB hard drives, a total of 33.75GB of useable (RAID-5) Chapter 3. DASD and Adapters 15 hot/swap disk capacity can be provided. Between the PC Server S/390 unit itself, the 3518, RAID/SCSI Adapter considerations, internal/external SCSI connectors, DASD Array layouts, disk sizes and capacities, and system performance, configuration of this must consider many different aspects. Anyone not very familiar with these systems are urged to seek trained server personnel for assistance. Some of the components of the Enterprise Expansion Enclosure: 3518001 The actual floor standing enclosure 06H3231 SCSI F/W connector to SCSI F/W option cable (may require multiple) 74G8631 4MM DAT tape drive for use in non-hot/swap bays 70G9864 Backplane to media bay cable: connects devices in top 'media bay' to the first H/S backplane. 94G4070 Backplane to backplane cable (to "daisy-chain" two backplanes into one SCSI channel) 70G9876 Cable to connect 2nd or 3rd backplane to external SCSI port 70G9855 Hot/Swap Backplane III (required when using hard drives in the 2nd and 3rd banks) Not interchangable with PC Server 500 backplanes. 70G9739 Power Supply upgrade: required when expanding beyond the top bank of hard drives VARIOUS Hard disk drives 70G9862 2.25 GB SCSI-II Fast/Wide Hot Swap high performance HD-III (max of 6 per bank) 70G9863 4.5 GB SCSI-II Fast/Wide Hot Swap high performance HD-III (max of 3 per bank) SAMPLE CONFIGURATION This configuration will provide a total of 33.75GB useable (RAID-5) disk space plus one 4mm DAT tape drive. All hard drives will be hot/swap. Two SCSI channels will be required to support this configuration. 3518001 Base Enterprise Expansion Enclosure 06H3231 SCSI F/W connection cable (2 required) 70G9862 2.25GB SCSI-II Fast/Wide HD-III hard disk drive (6 drives) will be used in the first hard drive bank. 16 Quick Reference 70G9863 4.5GB SCSI-II Fast/Wide HD-III hard disk drive (6 drives) will be used in the 2nd and 3rd hard drive banks 74G8631 4MM DAT tape drive for use in non-hot/swap bays 70G9864 Backplane to media bay cable: required to connect the tape drive to the backplane and SCSI channel 94G4070 Backplane to backplane cable (to "daisy-chain" banks 2 and 3 into one SCSI channel with 6 4.5GB drives) 70G9876 Cable to connect 2nd backplane to external SCSI port 70G9855 Hot/Swap Backplane III (2 required for the 2nd and 3rd banks). 70G9739 Power Supply upgrade: required since we are using 2nd and 3rd bank of hard drives Chapter 3. DASD and Adapters 17 18 Quick Reference CHAPTER 4. OTHER COMPONENTS ____________________________ Some other components that may be needed or useful. TAPES There are several forms of tape support for the PC Server S/390: 4MM DAT: The 4mm DAT drive is included with every PC Server S/390 It can be used by OS/2 using normal device drivers. Or, it can be used by the S/390 operating system using the SCSI34x0 device manager. The SCSI3480 driver makes the 4mm DAT appear to the S/390 system as a 3480 device, with the added benefit of the 4 - 10 GB capacity of the DAT. HURON ATTACHED TAPE DRIVES: The S/370 Channel Emulator/A (HURON) adapter can be used to attach 'real' 34x0 tape devices, such as 3420, 3480 and 3490. In this manner, the tape drives can be used by the S/390 system just as on a ES/9000 system, except for the performance implications of the HURON adapter. SCSI ATTACHED (OEM) TAPE DRIVES: Another alternative is to attach OEM produced 3420/3480/3490 media compatible tape drives via the SCSI channel on the PC Server S/390 These devices are typically 'desktop' sized and range in price from about $3000 (3420) to $14000 (3490E). The performance levels will also vary considerably, with the higher cost models providing very good performance (comparable to parallel channel on a ES/9000). One of these devices will require a SCSI address on an external SCSI channel/connection. On RAID systems it may be appropriate to add a SCSI F/W adapter to provide this connection rather than use the external RAID channel. The 3490 (and 3490E) compatible SCSI tape drives must be defined to the S/390 Operating System running on the PC Server S/390 as a 3480 with IDRC (compaction). In this manner they will provide most of the 3490E capabilities, but some of the extended functions may be limited or not available. The following tape drives have been tested and are currently supported for use with the SCSI3480.SYS driver: o 3480 18 track - Fujitsu M2481, M2483, M2485 - Overland Data C480, C490 (C) Copyright IBM Corp. 1995 19 o 4mm - IBM 4/10 GB (74G8631 or 74G8632), 55F9428 It is worthwhile noting that the IBM Brand 3490 SCSI models CANNOT be used on the PC Server S/390. The IBM 3490 requires a 'differential' SCSI interface while the PC Server S/390 provides a 'single-ended' SCSI interface.

The General Purpose ('G') series is a quality line of displays. Because of the high use of 'windows' and the GUI, we recommend at least a 15" display. If the display is going to be used extensively, a 17" display is highly recommended. 6553-503 15" "Professional" series. 1280x1024, Non Interlaced, Multi-Frequency .26mm dot pitch.

UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SUPPLIES (UPS) Every PC Server S/390 should have a UPS. Period. At these price points, a UPS has to be one of the best 'values' in the industry. For base servers, a 700 watt UPS will provide power for at about 20 minutes. For larger configurations, a 1000 or 1400 watt UPS may be appropriate. 20 minutes of protection will be sufficient to cover most power outages and allow time for a clean shutdown, if necessary. 94G3134 APC Smart-UPS 700. 4 outlets 94G3135 APC Smart-UPS 1000. 6 outlets 94G3136 APC Smart-UPS 1400. 6 outlets The following table is summarized from APC's marketing material for their Smart-UPS UPS models when used with IBM PC Servers. The first row would apply to a PC Server 500 S/390 that has only the primary 434 Watt power supply and is drawing full power (implying five hard drives in Bank C). The second row assumes full population with hard drives in banks C, D, and E and the required installation of the secondary 220 Watt power supply. Chapter 4.

(Each RAID adapter controls up to two banks or 12 drives.) 22 Quick Reference CHAPTER 5. DIAL-IN ACCESS __________________________ Many customers have asked how to configure the PC Server S/390 to support dial-in access via phone lines. Typical uses would include 'work-at-home', mobile users, and off-site demo capabilities. While there are a number of ways to accomplish the dial-in objective, most users will also want full LAN connectivity to allow access to other resources on the LAN which the PC Server S/390 is connected to. IBM offers two types of products to accomplish this full dial-in LAN connection while allowing 3270 emulation access to the PC Server S/390 1. LAN Distance is primarily a 'software' solution that can run on the PC Server S/390 or any other suitable system on the LAN. 2. The 8235/DIALs product is primarily a 'hardware' solution that attaches to the LAN with little or no impact on the PC Server S/390 or other systems on the LAN. Both products have corresponding programs that run in the remote workstations to provide the dial-in and connection capabilities. A more detailed description of each product and the specific hardware and software products required follows. LAN DISTANCE +--- NOTE: -------------------------------------------+ | | | The Lan Distance product is being withdrawn from | | marketing effective April 26, 1996 (see announcement | | letter 996-059). The program will still be supported | | and is available as part of the "Warp Server" and | | "Warp Connect" products. Although it is being | | formerly withdrawn, you may be able to find copies | | available via IBM resellers. | | | +-------------------------------------------------------+ The LAN Distance Server component runs on the PC Server S/390 or other suitable PC on the LAN. Remote users dial into modems connected to either the standard PC serial ports or to multi-port adapters such as the 'Artic Multiport/2'. It provides extensive security protection and supports all popular communication protocols and connectivities. Once connected to the LAN Distance (C) Copyright IBM Corp. 1995 23 server, remote users have all the facilities of the LAN, as though locally connected to the LAN (except, of course, for the difference in communication speeds). Many different configurations are possible, with up to 128 concurrent users. Here is a somewhat typical configuration that would support up to 8 concurrent users at speeds up to 28,800 bps. +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | Table 2.

LAN Distance Remote is available for OS/2 and Windows 3.1 users. While this configuration is believed to be correct, all customers should verify that any configuration ordered will operate correctly. If you plan to run the LAN Distance Server on a PC Server S/390, we recommend using a separate LAN Adapter port for LAN Distance. A Dual-ported LAN adapter works well for this purpose. 24 Quick Reference 8235 'DIAL IN ACCESS TO LANS' (DIALS) The 8235 product offers a independent unit that has it's own built-in LAN adapter connection and supports either internal or external modems for remote users to dial into. A full range of security features are available, including support for dialback and a TACAS client for DCE Kerberos users. Once connected to the 8235, remote users have full use ot the LAN environment which the 8235 is a part of. A Wide range of configurations are possible, for both Ethernet and Token Ring LANs, supporting many different protocols and connection methods. Using the internal modems, multiple 8235 units can be stacked together, providing a very compact installation. A typical configuration to support up to 8 concurrent dial in 28.8 kbps connections would be: +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | Table 3.

There is no charge for using as many copies of the client program as needed. Remote users connect to the host network and work in their OS/2, Windows, Windows 95, DOS, Macintosh, or UNIX environment with no retraining or changes to their applications While this configuration is believed to be correct, all customers should verify that any configuration ordered will operate correctly. Chapter 5. Dial-In Access 25 IN ADDITION... Both products offer multiple other features and capabilities, such as WAN and inter-LAN connections, Dial-out, remote administration, and choice of protocols (IPX, TCP/IP, SNA, X.25, NetBIOS, 802.2, NetBEUI). Since these products supply only the 'connection services', each remote workstation must have it's own application programs such as: 1. Communications Manager/2 for 3270 connection/emulation for OS/2 2. PC/3270 for 3270 connection/emulation for DOS/Windows 3. LAN Requestor to be a user/requestor on a LAN Server network 26 Quick Reference CHAPTER 6.

PC SERVER S/390 ORDER CHECKLIST ___________________________________________ Use this simple checklist to help order a system and make sure all needed components are included in the order. This is not intended to cover all possible systems and there may be good reasons to differ from the sequence and suggestions herein. System Unit CHOOSE MODEL: o Need Array system? (Recommended). __ - If small system or less than 128MB of S/390 __ memory, select 8641-MYS - If large system, choose 8641-MYC __ o If non-array appropriate: 8641-NYV __ S/390 MEMORY: Choose total S/390 memory size: Select additional memory required: 32MB or 96MB card. o 32MB (Base): Most VSE, small VM, very limited use __ MVS o 64MB (32MB additional): Larger VSE, moderate VM, __ and smaller MVS o 128MB (96MB additional): Memory intensive VSE, __ large VM, most MVS SERVER MEMORY: Choose total PC Memory size: o 32MB (base): Sufficient for "S/390 only" systems. __ o Additional: Add additional PC Memory to support __ PC Server functions. For light LAN Server workload, add 32MB; for moderate to heavy LAN workload, add 64MB or more. If using DataBase oriented applications such as DB2/2, consider 128 - 256 MB total PC memory. (Special emphasis on using memory to reduce I/O activity.) You should normally select SIMM configuration that miminizes the total number of SIMMs. (C) Copyright IBM Corp. 1995 47 I/O Devices DASD: Most customers will use additional 2.25GB drives. o Use Disk Configuration Aid at end of this __ checklist for assistance o Determine total actual data GB required __ o If Array model, adjust for redundant data __ 'overhead' o If Array model, 'over-configure' to allow capacity __ for growth without disrupting ARRAYs. o Order hard drives to meet GB requirements __ o Additional Power supply? (beyond 1st drive bank) __ o Additional Backplanes? (2nd and 3rd drive banks) __ o Additional SCSI or RAID Controller(s)? __ LAN ADAPTERS o Token Ring:? Auto LANStreamer, Dual LANStreamer __ o Ethernet: EtherStreamer, Dual EtherStreamer, Quad __ Peermaster - Media: 10-Base-T (unshielded twisted pair) or 10-Base-2 (thin Coax) ? o ATM, etc? __ o LAN Cables / connectors? __ One LAN-adapter / port will be sufficient for most S/390 only usage. For LAN based workload, add sufficient TokenRing or Ethernet ports to process that workload. WAN ADAPTERS: For SDLC / BSC communications via VTAM, etc. o Wide Area Connector(WAC) RS-232, V.35, up to 2 lines o Multi-Port Adapter/2 RS-232, V.35 up to 8 or 6 lines per adapter OTHER I/O o S/370 Channel Emulator/A ? (attach S/370 type I/O __ Devices) AVAILABILITY o UPS: Every PC Server S/390 should have a UPS. __ Should size UPS to provide approximately 20 minutes run battery time: - APC Smart-UPS 700: Smaller systems, up to 5 drives - APC Smart-UPS 1000: Medium systems, up to 11 drives - APC Smart-UPS 1400: Larger systems, or longer battery run time. 48 Quick Reference o ServerGuard: Very useful for remotely operated __ systems.

In 'normal' configurations this would require additional equipment (and expense) with no corresponding increase in capacity. There may, however, be cases where such a configuration would be appropriate. Non-RAID Systems Use this chart to help configure non-array systems. Chapter 9.
