SYSTEM UNITS ________________________ The PC Server S/390 is built upon the PC Server 330, using the ESS (8640-ESS) or ES2 (8640-ES2) models. This system features the following features and components (Note that some of these components are standard on the PC Server 330, while some are additional parts added to provide S/390 capabilities): o 200MHz Pentium Pro Processor o 32MB ECC Std Memory 60ns (For Pentium) o 16KB L1 Write Back Cache o 256KB L2 Write Back Cache o 1 dedicated PCI bus slot o 4 shared PCI/EISA slots (All PCI slots are capable of 133MB/sec data transfer rates.) o 4 dedicated EISA slots o 6 Hot/Swap bays for internal slim-height (1") hard drives o 1.44MB Diskette o 8X CD-ROM Drive & ServerGuide o PC Server Reference manuals o Certified FCC 'Class B' o Parallel port & 2 Serial ports o Mouse port and mouse o IBM Keyboard o ServeRAID RAID Adapter (PCI adapter) o Cable from ServeRAID adapter to Hot/Swap backplane o Ultra-SCSI Adapter integrated on the systemboard (one internal and one external SCSI-2 Fast and wide connector) o SVGA-NI Graphics Adapter (1024/768 max) integrated on systemboard (1MB standard, additional 1MB optional) o 3 Year On-Site Warranty o ServerGuide, TME 10 Netfinity o Reference & Diagnostic Diskettes o S/390 MicroProcessor Complex in either 32MB or 128MB versions. o P/390 Licensed Programs o 4/10GB 4mm DAT tape drive (required PC Server option) o PC Server S/390 specific Reference Manuals o OS/2 Warp Server Advanced (For those who prefer it, Warp Server Basic is also available and supported.) o Communications Manager/2 (C) Copyright IBM Corp. 1997 1 SPECIFIC CONFIGURATIONS PC Server 330 based PC Server S/390 machines can be based on the 8640-ESS or 8640-ES2. Additional components and features are added to this system to provide the desired configuration. The Base 8640-ESS includes two 2.25 GB hard drives. Up to a total of 6 slim-height drives (2.25 or 4.5GB) can be added as internal drives. Additional hard drives can be configured in external enclosures. Alternate Base System (ES2) To allow additional configuration flexibility, the 8640-ES2 can be used instead of the -ESS model. The ES2 is a Hot/Swap model but does not include any disk drives, ServeRAID Adapter or RAID to backplane cable. If this ES2 model is used, the ServeRAID adapter MUST be added and at least two IBM disk drives installed and the ServeRAID to Backplane cable added. The primary advantage of using the ES2 is that it can be configured with six internal 4.5GB hard drives without having to remove the two 2.25 drives which are standard in the ESS. ServeRAID Adapter All models of the PC Server S/390 provide a ServeRAID Adapter (either standard on the ESS, or a required option on the ES2) which includes 4 MB of RAM, of which more than 3M is available for caching. The user can configure this cache to provide either 'write-through' mode (writes are not cached) or 'write-back' mode (writes are cached). The ServeRAID adapter provides 3 SCSI channels, each of which supports up to 15 devices. It has three internal connectors and 1 external connector. The first internal channel will normally be used to support the internal disk drives, while the other two channels are available to connect to disk drives housed in external enclosures. STANDARD SCSI CABLE CONFIGURATION (Section updated 05/21/1997) _____________________________ The recommended standard configuration of SCSI adapters, devices and cables consists of the following: o The CDROM and 4mm DAT tape should be cabled to the integrated SCSI controller. This requires the following: 2 Quick Reference - 4MM DAT Tape drive (74G8632) (A 68 - 50 pin converter, 32G3925, is supplied as part of the 4mm DAT product package.) - 4-drop SCSI F/W cable: 60H7826 (Optional, but recommended) - 16 bit (SCSI wide) active terminator (32G3918) There are two ways of recabling the CDROM and DAT to the integrated SCSI adapter: 1. USING 4-DROP F/W SCSI CABLE: A 4-Drop F/W SCSI cable (60H7826) can be used to connect the CDROM and 4mm DAT to the internal port of the integrated SCSI conroller. Follow these steps: 1. Remove the "Backplane to CDROM" cable (it will not be needed any more) 2. Change the dip-switch or jumper settings on the CDROM to set it as non-terminating. (Termination will be provided by the terminator installed in the next step.) 3. Plug in the 4-drop F/W SCSI cable into the integrated SCSI controller, then the 4mm CDROM drive, then the DAT. Then plug a 16-bit active terminator (part number 94G7587) into the last connector of the 4-drop cable. Terminating the 4-drop cable in this manner provides proper termination of all 16 signal lines, rather than the 8 bit termination provided by the DAT or CDROM. 2. REUSING THE SUPPLIED CABLES: In order to cable the DAT and CDROM to the integrated SCSI, the cable that normally connects the CDROM to the backplane can be reconfigured and reused: 1. Unlpug the cable from the backplane (lower connector) and from the CDROM. Remove the terminator from the last connector on the cable. 2. Plug the connector that was on the CDROM into the integrated SCSI connector on the systemboard. 3. Plug the next connector into the CDROM drive (68-50 pin converter). 4. Plug the last connector into the DAT drive (68-50 pin converter) 5. Change the SCSI jumpers on the CDROM so that it is not the terminator and the SCSI jumpers on the DAT so that it is the terminator. 6. The end of the cable that was plugged into the backplane should be left unconnected. Note that reusing the cable in this manner only provides 8-bit (narrow) termination. If, however, any 16 bit internal devices or ANY external devices Chapter 1. System Units 3 are to be connected to the integrated SCSI controller, this configuration will cause intermittant SCSI errors. RECOMMENDATION: If the 4-Drop SCSI cable (60H7826) is available, we recommend it's use (with the 16 bit active terminator, 94G7587). If the 4-drop cable is not available and the system will ONLY use the integrated SCSI to control the CDROM and 4mm DAT unit, reusing the supplied cable should be satisfactory. For configurations which will have an external SCSI device, the 4-drop cable approach MUST be used. If the supplied cable is reused and the system experiences intermittant SCSI errors: - Check and verify the DAT tape is terminated properly - Ensure that system board jumper J38 (External SCSI termination) is set correctly. - Replace the supplied cable with a 4-drop SCSI F/W cable as described above. o The external connector of the integrated SCSI can be cabled to the 'knock-out' plug opening in the rear of the PC Server S/390 using the short 'jumper' cable provided with the system unit (in plastic bag of parts). Alternately, a channel of the ServeRAID adapter can be cabled to the knock-out connector opening using a "Bulkhead Cable", part number 76H2675. NOTE: There is only one knock-out plug, so either the ServeRAID or the integrated SCSI adapter can use it at a time, but not both. o The ServeRAID adapter channel 3 will be cabled to the hot/swap backplane to control the internal disk drives. The 'daisy-chain' cable that is also connected from the backplane to the CDROM drive should be removed and used to connect the CDROM and DAT as described above. If starting with a 8640-ES2, a ServeRAID - Backplane cable (94G3988) should be used. (The cable that connects the integrated SCSI to the backplane might be used, but in most installations it will be streched so taut that it would be likely to cause problems later.) 4 Quick Reference +--- NOTE: --------------------------------------------+ | | | If any devices are connected to the internal | | connector of the integrated SCSI controller (both the | | CDROM and DAT will normally be connected here), a | | maximum of only ONE SCSI device can be connected to | | the external port of the integrated SCSI controller. | | | +-------------------------------------------------------+ If is necessary to connect multiple SCSI devices (tapes) to the external connector of the integrated SCSI adapter, one method is to reconnect the supplied cable so that the DAT and CDROM are daisy-chained off the RAID backplane. If this is done and there are six hard drives installed in the system unit backplane, the backplane must be jumpered so that the disk drives use the 'high SCSI' addresses (08 - 15). See the PC Server 330 Users's _____________________ Handbook for information on doing this. Note: This ________ ______ configuration (daisy chain DAT and CDROM off the ServeRAID adapter via the Backplane) should only be used when the 4mm DAT tape unit is NOT going to be used as a S/390 device. The SCSI34x0 device managers do not currently support the use of the ServeRAID adapter to control the 4mm DAT tape. OTHER NOTES Second 4mm DAT tape drive In the PC Server 500 and 520 based systems, it was possible to install a second 4mm DAT tape drive within the PC Server system unit. With the PC Server 330, this is not possible. (The PC Server 330 has two 1 inch 'slim-high' mounting positions, but the 4mm DATs are 1.6 inch 'half-high' so only one can be mounted in the available space.) If a second 4mm DAT must be used, there are several options: 1. If an external disk enclosure (3517, 3518) is being used, they have provisions for mounting additional tape units. 2. If no external unit is planned, a 4mm DAT can be mounted in a 3510 external device enclosure. The 3510 houses a single SCSI device in a 5.25" mounting area. (Make sure you order the 5.25" version of the 4mm DAT.) Chapter 1. System Units 5 FCC Classification The PC Server 330 is certified as meeting FCC CLASS B requirements. The addition of options and adapters may affect the level of electronic emissions produced by the PC Server S/390 MEMORY OPTIONS ______________ PC Server / Pentium Memory: For PC Server S/390 systems running light workloads with light I/O requirements, no additional PC memory should be required (32MB is standard). For systems which are expected to have moderate to high I/O requirements, an additional 32 - 64MB of memory can be used to enable a large (48-64MB) HPFS386 cache, thereby providing improved I/O performance. The enhanced HPFS386 file system is provided as part of "File and Print Server" in the WARP Server Advanced product. For systems which are expected to also provide PC Server functions (such as a LAN File Server), additional PC memory may be required to support that workload. +--- NOTE: ---------------------------------------------+ | | | All Pentium/Server memory is provided in DIMM (Dual | | Inline Memory module) form. Additional DIMMs can be | | installed, up to a maximum of 1GB (would require 4 | | 256MB DIMMs). | | | +-------------------------------------------------------+ The PC Server S/390 has a total of 4 DIMM memory sockets, with one of these occupied by the standard 32M of memory (1 x 32MB). DIMM sizes can be mixed in a PC Server 330. 94G6473 32MB 70ns ECC DIMM 94G6474 64MB 70ns ECC DIMM 94G6475 128MB 70ns ECC DIMM 94G6476 256MB 70ns ECC DIMM 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. The S/390 Processor Complex is available with either 32MB or 128MB of S/390 memory capacity. All S/390 memory is contained on the processor complex; there is no separate memory 'daughter cards' as existed on the MicroChannel versions of the P/390 processor complexes. You should order the appropriate model of the processor complex that provides the desired memory capacity. 9662-032 S/390 Microprocessor complex with 32MB of S/390 memory capacity. This document will use a 'value price' of $10,000 for this adapter. 9662-128 S/390 Microprocessor complex with 128MB of S/390 memory capacity. This document will use a 'value price' of $15,000 for this adapter. The S/390 Microprocessor Complex Adapters (32MB and 128MB) are only available via certified Solution Provider-Distributors (SP-Ds) as part of a complete PC Server S/390 system. Actual selling prices are determined by the certified resellers. The S/390 processor adapters and the S/390 Parallel Channel Adapter are products of the S/390 product group. As such, they are ordered via the AAS system, rather than the PC Company's GEMS ordering system. +--- NOTE: ---------------------------------------------+ | | | Since all the S/390 memory is contained on the S/390 | | Microprocessor Complex, the 32MB version of the | | adapter cannot be upgraded to a 128MB version. It is | | very important that the memory configuration be sized | | properly in the initial configuration. When in | | doubt, use the large (128MB) version. | | | +-------------------------------------------------------+ Chapter 1. System Units 7 8 Quick Reference CHAPTER 2. DEVICE MANAGER OVERVIEW ___________________________________ Device Managers play a critical part in the operation of the PC Server S/390. These device managers provide the link between the PC Server devices and the S/390 environment. Without them, the PC Server S/390 could not be possible. This section will provide an overview of the various device managers which are available and which PC Server devices should be used to provide which mainframe equivalent functions. This will be organized by the type of I/O device to be emulated or connected: o Disks o Tapes o Printers o Terminal devices o Communications o Channel Connection Disk Drives S/390 disk drives are emulated using OS/2 files. Each S/390 disk volume is emulated by an OS/2 file. There are two managers available: AWSFBA: Emulates FBA (Fixed Block Architecture) disk devices (3370, 9332, 9336, etc.). Either VM/ESA or VSE/ESA can use emulated FBA devices; OS/390 (MVS/ESA) does not support FBA. AWSCKD Emulates (E)CKD ((Extended) Count Key Data) devices such as 3380, 3390, and 9345. OS/390 (MVS), VM/ESA, and VSE/ESA can use emulated CKD devices. The only configuration requirement for using these device managers is to include sufficient disk storage capacity to accomodate the required volumes of S/390 data. Customers migrating from old mainframes will probably elect to emulate the same device type and architecture as the old system. When it is possible, however, to choose the type of disk emulation, use of FBA emulation will usually perform better with less emulation 'overhead' in the Pentium Pro. (C) Copyright IBM Corp. 1997 9 Tape There are three ways of providing tape capabilities for a PC Server S/390. 1. Attach 'real' mainframe tapes drives via a S/390 Parallel Channel Adapter (using device manager AWSICE). 2. Attach media compatible tape drives or another 4mm DAT drive using a SCSI controller using device managers AWS3420, AWS3480). 3. Emulate the tape drives using disk (OS/2) files (using device manager AWSTAPE). Each of these requires different configuration considerations: CHANNEL ATTACH: To attach a real (mainfame) tapedrive such as a 3480, you must of course have the actual tape drive (3480) and you will need the appropriate channel adapter (S/390 Parallel Channel Adapter (9662005) for the the PC Server 330). SCSI ATTACH: In addition to a compatible SCSI tape drive, a suitable SCSI channel with an available SCSI address is required. On the PC Server 330, this can be provided by the external connection of the integrated SCSI controller or an external connection of the ServerRAID adapter. EMULATED ON DISK: When using AWSTAPE to emulate tape drives on disk, the only configuration consideration is to ensure there is sufficient OS/2 disk space available to contain the emulated disk files. Use of emulated tape files on disk can drastically reduce the number of physical tapes and tape mounts. With the relatively low cost of today's disk storage devices and the data integrity protection provided by RAID-5, replacement of tapes by disk devices has become very attractive Printers There are two possible ways to generate printed output from a PC Server S/390. Regular 'mainframe' printers can be attached to a channel adapter or a PC printer can be used to emulate a mainframe printer. CHANNEL ATTACHED: To attach any channel attached printer, you only need a S/390 Parallel Channel Adapter and device manager AWSICE. 'Page Mode' printers should be used whenever possible as they will generally perform much better than line mode printers in the PC Server S/390 environment 10 Quick Reference PC PRINTER: Using device manager AWS2821, any PC compatible printer can be used to print the S/390 system output. All print output is processed out through the OS/2 print queue manager. Since this output is processed as normal OS/2 output, it can also be redirected to any accessible printer, whether directly connected or across a lan connection. Using a PC type laser printer connected to the parallel port and controlled by AWS2821 will provide an excellent way to print 'standard forms' output, replacing old line mode printers. Terminal Devices: There are many different ways to connect terminal devices to a PC Server S/390. They can, however, generally be catagoritized into one of three types: 1. Connection of devices to channel attached control units 2. Connection of terminal devices via LAN attachment 3. Connection of terminal devices via some form of remote communications line. CHANNEL ATTACHED: In addition to the actual terminals and control units (3174s), the only PC Server S/390 requirement is for a S/390 Parallel Channel Adapter. Terminals can be connected via 3174s (SNA or non-SNA) or 3274s, LAN CONNECTION: The most common approach will be for VTAM connections between workstations doing 3270 emulation and the S/390 system. One alternative is to use TCP/IP with emulators such as TN3270 to provide the connectivity across the LAN. In any of these cases, the only requirement for the PC Server S/390 is an appropriate LAN adapter (Ethernet or Token Ring). VTAM connected workstations will use the LAN3172 device driver while TCP/IP connected workstations will use LCS3172. In either case, the device manager emulates a 3172 by using the LAN adapter. REMOTELY CONNECTED TERMINALS: There are many different ways to connect remote termials of various types across communications lines. The remote terminal configuration may consist of a SDLC connected 3174 using coax or LAN attached terminals, or there could be some form of SDLC or TCP/IP connected machine providing a gateway function for workstations on the LAN. In each of these scenarios, the PC Server S/390 has to provide some form of communications line/facility, typically an SDLC or TCP/IP link. There are several ways to provide this link, Chapter 2. Device Manager Overview 11 depending on S/390 operating system and required link characteristics. See the next section for information on configuring a PC Server S/390 to provide these links. Communications Wide Area Networking support, referred to as 'Communications' in this document, can be categorized in any of several ways: o By 'protocol', with BSC, SDLC, and TCP/IP being the most popular. o By operating system, with VSE/ESA, VM/ESA, and OS/390 (MVS) each having different characteristics. o By emulated device type, and each device type has different capabilities and restrictions. o By what PC device is used to emulate the 'mainframe device' o By Device Manager used to provide the emulation services. In this document, the primary categorization will be by operating system. Then we will consider what protocols are supported, what PC devices are used by what device manager to provide what emulated device. VM/ESA AND VSE/ESA: Both VM and VSE provide the same support for the same protocols and devices, so they will be considered together. The primary support for VM and VSE communications will be for BSC and SDLC protocols, emulating an Integrated Communications Adapter (ICA). On a PC Server S/390 this support is provided by device manager AWSPBS controlling a Multi-Port model 2 adapter. This combination provides up to eight BSC or SDLC lines operating at up to 38.4Kbps. A maximum of two Multi-Port adapters can be used in a single PC Server S/390. The Multi-Port Model 2 is an ISA bus adapter and can be used in an EISA slot. Note: The WAC adapter specifically is NOT supported on ______________________________________ ____________ the PC Server S/390 running VM or VSE. _______________________________________ OS/390 (MVS): OS/390 does not support the ICA, so different emulation must be used in this environment. SDLC support for OS/390 is provided by the WAC (Wide Area Connector) adapter, supported by the WAN3172 device manager. The WAC can be configured for either RS232, V.35, or X.21 interfaces. (RS232 typically runs up to 19.2Kbps, V.35 is used for 56Kbps and higher, with X.21 being used for very high speed, such as T1 connections.) Each WAC has one line interface and one additional interface can be added (interface types can be mixed). There is a maximum of 4 WAC adapters per PC Server S/390, but this will seldom be practical due to slot usage 12 Quick Reference considerations. The WAC and WAN3172 emulate a "3172 SDLC Gateway", using a VTAM XCA definition (BSC is not available). Only ISA bus versions of the WAC are supported. Note: The Multi-Port model 2 adapter ____________________________________ specifically is NOT supported on the PC Server S/390 _______________ ________________________________ running OS/390. ________________ Channel Connection The S/390 Parallel Channel Adapter can be used to connect almost any standard 'mainframe' device to a PC Server S/390. When using a channel adapter, the AWSICE device driver is used. This combination allows the connection and use of any non-DASD S/390 device to a PC Server S/390. A maximum of 2 channel adapters can be used on a single PC Server S/390. Although the channel adapter will allow up to eight control units to be connected, a maximum of four control units per card is recommended in order to maintain reasonable performance levels. While connection to standard 'mainframe' disk drives is not supported, many users will find that the connection works well enough to allow initial migration of data from a mainfame disk system to the PC Server S/390.

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'. STANDARD FEATURES The PC Server 330 (8640-ESS) comes standard with a ServeRAID adapter and two 2.25GB Hot/Swap disk drives. The ServeRAID has 3 channels, each of which can control up to 15 devices. The ES2 model comes with no RAID adapter and no disk drives. The ServeRAID adapter, appropriate disk drives, and cable must be added to to the ES2. There is also an integrated "Ultra-SCSI" controller with both internal and external connectors. Normally, the integrated SCSI controller will control the CDROM and 4mm DAT, leaving the ServeRAID to control the disk devices. NOTE: When devices are connected to the internal connector of the integrated SCSI adapter, only one SCSI device may be attached to the external connector. (C) Copyright IBM Corp. 1997 15 INTERNAL DISK DRIVES Maximum of 6 internal hard drives (with 1 inch form factor) can be installed in the PC Server 330. Expanding beyond 6 drives requires use of an external expansion enclosure. HARD DRIVES 70G9862 2.25GB SCSI-2 Fast & Wide Hot/Swap III 7ms access, 7200 RPM. This will be the 'standard' drive for customers that do not require large disk storage capacities (less than about 12 GB). 94G6494 4.5 GB SCSI-2 Fast & Wide Hot/Swap III 8ms access, 7200 RPM (1", Slim high form factor). This will generally be the standard drive for larger configurations, providing up to 22GB of useable capacity (RAID-5) using only 6 internal disk drives. Disk drives of different capacities can be used in the same system, and even on the same RAID controller. Different capacity drives should NOT be used within the same 'array'. Doing this would result in effectively reducing the capacity of all drives in the array to the size of the smallest drive. There are several approaches to configuring systems with large disk configurations. Using the ServeRAID and two 3518 Enterprise Expansion Enclosures provides a capacity of 30 disk drives. Using 4.5 GB drives and 8 drives per RAID-5 array provides over 110GB of useable disk space. Systems that require more than this should probably consider using the PCI SSA RAID Adapter. SSA subsystems will use the following components: 32H3811 PCI SSA RAID Adapter 05J6413 2.25GB SSA Hot Swap disk drive 05J6414 4.51GB SSA Hot Swap disk drive 05J6411 Dummy SSA Module (required for empty SSA bays) 59H722X SSA Cables (1 to 25 M.) 16 Quick Reference EXTERNAL DISK STORAGE ENCLOSURES ________________________________ (Changed 05/21/1997) _____________________ Some users of the PC Server S/390 will find that they need more disk storage capacity than the 22 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. +--- 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 three external expansion units available from IBM o 3517 (SCSI Multi-Storage Enclosure) o 3518 (Enterprise Expansion Enclosure) o 3527 (Entry SSA Storage Enclosure) All the expansion units and configurations discussed below will assume the appropriate number of external SCSI (RAID) or SSA 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. 3517, SCSI Multi-Storage Enclosure: The 3517 is a hot/swap capable expansion that uses the new Tray type III. It will accommodate up to five 2.25GB, 4.5GB, or 9.1GB hot/swap drives. It is very easy to configure and install. The maximum hot/swap storage capacity (effective RAID-5) of a 3517 using 9.1 GB disks is 36.0 GB. In addition to the Hot/Swap hard drives, up 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. (These non-hot/swap Chapter 3. DASD and Adapters 17 bays would be a good place to put a 'hot-spare' drive; it would be available, but the lack of hot/swap would not be a problem.) 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. Note that the 3517 uses the "Type-III" backplane and harddrive tray. These are NOT interchangeable with the Type I and II backplanes used in the PC Server 500 and 520 system units. They are the same units as are used on the PC Server 330. Components of the 3517 might typically include: 3517001 The actual floor standing or desk-top enclosure 70G9857 PC Server SCSI F/W connector to SCSI F/W option cable for PCI-BUS and ServerRAID adapters (may require multiple) 74G8631 4MM DAT tape drive VARIOUS Hard disk drives 70G9862 2.25 GB SCSI-II Fast/Wide Hot Swap SL HD-III (max 5) 94G6494 4.5 GB SCSI-II Fast/Wide Hot Swap SL HD-III (max 5) 94G7492 9.1 GB SCSI-II Fast/Wide Hot Swap HH 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) 76H2689 9.1 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 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 70G9857 PC Server SCSI F/W connector to SCSI F/W option cable for PCI-BUS and ServerRAID adapters 94G6494 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 18 Quick Reference 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 accommodate two half-high or one full-height 5.25" drive (such as CD-ROM drives or Tape drives). This full-height bay would be an excellent location for a 24/48GB 4mm DAT tape autoloader unit. Each hard drive bank can accommodate 6 slim-height drives (1.12GB or 2.25GB, or 4.5GB). Two of the banks can be 'daisy-chained' to provide up to 12 slim-height drives on a single SCSI channel. Using a combination of two SCSI channels and 18 4.5GB hard drives, a total of about 65GB of useable (RAID-5) 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 unit must consider many different aspects. Anyone not very familiar with these systems are urged to seek trained server personnel for assistance. Note that the 3518 uses the "Type-III" backplane and harddrive tray. These are NOT interchangeable with the Type I and II backplanes used in the PC Server 500 and 520 system units. They are the same type as used with the PC Server 330. Some of the components of the Enterprise Expansion Enclosure: 3518001 The actual floor standing enclosure 70G9857 PC Server SCSI F/W connector to SCSI F/W option cable for PCI-BUS and ServerRAID adapters (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 94G7585 Enhanced PC Server SCSI Repeater. Allows longer SCSI cable lengths when connecting 3518 to server. 76H2670 Hot/Swap Backplane III (required when using hard drives in the 2nd and 3rd banks) Not interchangeable with PC Server 500 backplanes.

All hard drives will be hot/swap. Two SCSI (RAID) channels will be required to support this configuration. 3518001 Base Enterprise Expansion Enclosure 70G9857 PC Server SCSI F/W connector to SCSI F/W option cable for PCI-BUS and ServerRAID adapters (2 required) 94G6494 4.5GB SCSI-II Fast/Wide SL HD-III hard disk drive (18 drives) will be used in the hard drive Hot/Swap 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 12 4.5GB drives) 70G9876 Cable to connect 2nd backplane to external SCSI port 76H2670 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 A Note on External SCSI Cables With any External enclosure, some form of SCSI cable is required to connect the external enclosure to the SCSI/RAID adapter. Different adapters may have different external connectors and may therefore require different cables. For example, on the PC Server 500 models which used the "IBM Fast and Wide Streaming Raid Adapter/A", the external connector is a 'miniature centronics' style connector and requires cable part number 06H3231. The PC Server 520, PC Server 330 and either the PCI Bus RAID adapter or the ServeRAID Adapter (as on the PC Server 330) use a 68-pin external connector, and require a different cable, part number 70G9857. 20 Quick Reference 3527, Entry SSA Storage Enclosure: The 3527 is a new hot/swap capable expansion unit which uses the new SSA channel connectors and the SSA interface disk drives. It will accommodate up to five 2.25GB or 4.5GB hot/swap SSA drives. It is easy to configure and install. The maximum hot/swap storage capacity (effective RAID-5) of a 3527 using 4.5 GB disks is 18.0 GB. SSA Drives use a specific SSA interface and are NOT interchangeable with the SCSI / RAID Hot/Swap disks and trays. Note that any unused drive bays must be filled by a 'dummy' SSA module to maintain the SSA loop. Components of the 3527 might typically include: 3527001 The actual floor standing or desk-top enclosure 59H7223 SSA External Cables, pair 10 meter. (SSA cables are available in varions lengths, from 1.5M to 25M) VARIOUS Hard disk drives 05J6413 2.25GB SSA Hot Swap high performance (max 5) 05J6414 4.5 GB SSA Hot Swap high performance (max 5) 05J6411 SSA Dummy Disk Drive Module SAMPLE CONFIGURATION This configuration will provide a total of 18 GB useable (RAID-5) disk space. 3527001 Base SSA Disk Storage Enclosure 59H7223 External SSA cables, pair of 10 meter 05J6414 4.5GB SSA Fast/Wide hard disk drive (5 drives) Use of the 3527 assumes the presense of a PCI SSA RAID adapter (3283811). A single SSA adapter can control up to 96 disk drives (which would fill 19 3527 enclosures). +--- USE OF SSA 7133: ---------------------------------+ | | | The IBM 7133 SSA Enclosure has also been certified | | for use when the PC Server 330 is equipped with an | | SSA RAID Adapter. The 7133 is a member of the | | RS/6000 family of devices, and can be configured to | | include hundreds of gigabytes of disk storage. | | | +-------------------------------------------------------+ Chapter 3. DASD and Adapters 21 22 Quick Reference CHAPTER 4. COMMUNICATIONS __________________________ WIDE AREA NETWORK (WAN) ADAPTERS ________________________________ PC Networking adapters are used to emulate typical mainframe communications devices such as Integrated Communications Adapters, 3745s and 3172-XCA. The support and emulated devices vary by S/390 operating system. The current support includes: OS/390 - MVS Emulation of 3172-XCA (SDLC lines) is provided by the WAN3172 Device Manager using the Wide Area Connector adapter. VM/ESA, VSE/ESA Emulation of Integrated Communications Adapters (ICAs) is provided by the AWSPBS Device Manager using the MultiPort Model 2 adapter. More information about these adapters follows. WAC Wide Area Connector: One card with multiple 'personalities' to support up to two communications lines at up to 2.048M bps. Only the ISA bus versions of the WAC adapter is supported on the PC Server S/390. 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 33G8469 = EIA RS232 (up to 19,200 bps) o 33G8470 = V.35 ( typically 56Kb ) o 33G8471 = X.21 (packet switched protocol) The above part numbers are for the ISA versions of the WAC adapter. The base adapter (part numbers just above) provides one communications port or line. An 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 (C) Copyright IBM Corp. 1997 23 o 33G8463 = X.21 Interface & connector The base adapter and expansion interface can be mixed types. For example, you can use a 33G6470 (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 is used in conjunction with WAN3172 on OS/390 systems to provide SDLC connectivity. The WAC ports are defined to MVS and VTAM as a SNA XCA port. MULTIPORT ADAPTER The "ARTIC MultiPort Model 2 Adapter" provides up to 8 SDLC or BSC lines per adapter. For VM and VSE systems it is supported by the AWSPBS device manager and provides Integrated Communications Adapter (ICA) emulation. In these systems, each MultiPort adapter can support up to 8 lines (each line up to 38.4 Kbps) with a maximum of 2 MultiPort adapters per system. The AWSPBS manager (VM and VSE) supports either SDLC or BSC, or a mixture. Multiple parts are required for each MultiPort installation. The following is a typical configuration for the PC Server S/390 +-----------------------------------------------------+ | Table 1.

For use on a PC Server S/390, there are typically two issues which must be considered: 1. ETHERNET OR TOKEN RING: This issue will usually be determined by the current operating environment. While most PC Based LANs use Ethernet, many 'mainframe' environments use Token Ring. 2. ISA OR PCI: Since the PC Server 330 includes both PCI and EISA/ISA slots, some thought should be given to the type of slot to use for the LAN adapter. One of the PCI slots will always be in use by the RAID adapter and another by the P/390 Microprocessor complex. Other adapters, such as the 390 Channel Adapter will use EISA slots. For performance reasons, PCI LAN adapters are preferred, but ISA adapters may be used if the configuration so dictates. +--- NOTE: ---------------------------------------------+ | | | Remember that the PC Server 330 does not support EISA | | bus LAN Adapters. Only PCI and ISA LAN adapters may | | be used. | | | +-------------------------------------------------------+ Token Ring Adapters PCI 75H9800 IBM PCI Token Ring Adapter: Basic good performance (full duplex) Token Ring adapter. 04H8095 Auto LANStreamer PCI Adapter: A good, all-around, high performance Token Ring adapter. 32 Bit, Streaming BusMaster with speed autodetect. (Note: will be withdrawn effective 5/31/1997, for replacement, see 75H9800.) 25H6304 Triple LANStreamer PCI: Essentially three LAN Streamers on a single adapter. Just the thing for 'heavy duty' LAN traffic, for connecting to multiple rings, or for concurrent S/390 and workstation TCP/IP connectivity. 72H3482 IBM Turbo 16/4 Token-Ring ISA Adapter: For customers who require Token Ring support in a ISA bus. Chapter 4. Communications 25 Ethernet LAN Adapters Note that there is a standard Ethernet (10Mb FDX) integrated into the PC Server 330 system board. 13H9237 PCI Ethernet Adapter: A good general purpose Ethernet adapter for PCI bus systems (10 Mbs) 25H4374 Ethernet PCI Adapter 100/10: High performance Ethernet adapter capable of running at either 10 or 100 Megabits per second.

(Note: will be withdrawn from marketing as of August 29, 1997, no replacement announced.) 07H0450 Quad-BT PeerMaster PCI Adapter: One PCI adapter with four Ethernet ports (RJ-45). Just the adapter for systems which need multiple Ethernet ports, but which have a limited number of PCI slots available. 26 Quick Reference CHAPTER 5. 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. Only a single 4mm DAT may be mounted within the &p333. itself. If desired, additional DAT drives may be installed in external enclosures such as the 3517, 3518, or 3510. S/390 CHANNEL ADAPTER ATTACHED TAPE DRIVES: The S/390 Parallel Channel 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 using "Bus and Tag" cables. The S/390 Parallel Channel Adapter is part number 9662005. 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. If the integrated SCSI adapter is used to control the CD Drive and/or 4mm DAT tape drive, the SCSI F/W connector for the integrated SCSI controller can be used to connect only one external SCSI tape device. (Make sure you get SCSI cables with the correct connectors for the specific tape drive and SCSI controller you are using.) 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, (C) Copyright IBM Corp. 1997 27 but some of the extended functions may be limited or not available. The following information has been provided by various sources. While we believe the information to be accurate, IBM has not conducted compatibility tests for these tape drives and IBM makes no support statements for any particular SCSI tape model or vendor. +--------------------------------------------------+ | Table 2. 3480 18 Track Media Compatible SCSI | | tape drives | +----------------------+------+-----------+--------+ | MODEL | IDRC | READ | LOAD | | | | BLOCK ID | DISPLAY| +----------------------+------+-----------+--------+ | Fujitsu M2485B/B1 | No | Full(1) | Yes | +----------------------+------+-----------+--------+ | Fujitsu M2485H/H1 | Yes | Full(1) | Yes | +----------------------+------+-----------+--------+ | Overland C480 / T480 | No | Partial(2)| No | +----------------------+------+-----------+--------+ | Overland C490 / T490 | Yes | Partial(2)| No | +----------------------+------+-----------+--------+ +----------------------------------------------------------+ | Table 3. 3490 36 Track Media Compatible SCSI tape | | drives | +----------------------+-------+------+-----------+--------+ | MODEL | TYPE | IDRC | READ | LOAD | | | | | BLOCK ID | DISPLAY| +----------------------+-------+------+-----------+--------+ | Fujitsu M2488C1, | 3490-E| Yes | Full(1) | Yes | | M2488CA1, M2488CF1 | | | | | +----------------------+-------+------+-----------+--------+ +------------------------------------------------------------+ | Table 4. 3420 9 Track Media Compatible SCSI tape drives | +----------------------+-------+-----------------+-----------+ | MODEL | TYPE | DENSITY | SCSI34X0 | +----------------------+-------+-----------------+-----------+ | M4 9914S | 3420 | 800/1600/6250 | Yes | +----------------------+-------+-----------------+-----------+ | M4 9906G: Firmware | 3420 | 1600/6250 | Yes | | rev 12 or later | | | | +----------------------+-------+-----------------+-----------+ | Qualstar 3414S | 3420 | 1600/6250 | Yes | +----------------------+-------+-----------------+-----------+ 28 Quick Reference +--------------------------------------------+ | Table 5. 3420/3480 Emulation on other | | media | +--------------------------------+-----------+ | MANUFACTURER - MODEL | SCSI34X0 | +--------------------------------+-----------+ | IBM 4mm (4/10GB) | Yes | +--------------------------------+-----------+ Notes: (1) FULL includes format mode bit, (2) Partial does not include format mode bit. LOAD DISPLAY refers to displaying the volser (or other message) in a display that is part of the tape drive, indicating to the operator which volser to load. IDRC refers to standard 3480 compression. READ BLOCK ID refers to the read/search BLOCKID functions discussed below. It is worthwhile noting that the IBM Brand 3490 and 3590 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. +--- NOTE: ---------------------------------------------+ | | | When purchasing a SCSI attached OEM tape drive | | through a vendor, you should make sure the vendor | | understands and has experience with the PC Server | | S/390 and that the specific device manufacturer, | | model, and version has been shown to work with the PC | | Server S/390 | | | +-------------------------------------------------------+ DISPLAYS IBM markets two lines of quality color displays suitable for use with the PC Server S/390 The Professional ('P') series is a very high quality line which is recommended when the system display is going to be used extensively. 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 (P50) 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 (with external disk encolosure), 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. If you are using multiple external disk enclosures, remember to configure sufficient UPS capacity to power these enclosures. 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. 30 Quick Reference +------------------------+--------+-------+---------------------------------+ | PC SERVER MODEL | WATTS | VA | RUNTIME IN MINUTES | +------------------------+--------+-------+--------+-------+--------+-------+ | | | | 700-VA | 1000-V| 1400-VA| 2200-V| +------------------------+--------+-------+--------+-------+--------+-------+ | PC Server S/390 330 | 434 | 434 | 6.4 | 13 | 21 | 57 | +------------------------+--------+-------+--------+-------+--------+-------+ MISCELLANEOUS OPTIONS While most of these adapters can also be used with other systems, they tend to be especially useful and appropriate on the PC Server S/390. 9662005 S/390 Parallel Channel Adapter: Provides Parallel "Bus and Tag" connection to traditional S/390 I/O Devices (tape, printers, Comm.) Maximum 2 per PC Server S/390. It is based on "Artic Coprocessor" adapters, and provides better performance than the old S/370 Channel Emulator/A. 76H5407 IBM PCI Ultra-SCSI Adapter: For systems that require additional SCSI channel capacity. But remember, the base PC Server 330 provides an integrated SCSI F/W adapter with internal and external connectors. NOTE: If this SCSI adapter is used, the integrated SCSI controller must be disabled (System board Jumper J26). This implies that the CDROM and DAT Tape must be cabled so as to be connected to the hot/swap backplane (and thus to the ServeRAID adapter) or to the internal connector of this RAID adapter. 70G8489 ServeRAID: High Performance/Capacity PCI Raid Adapter, provides three SCSI channels and can support up to 15 devices per channel. This is the standard RAID adapter provided on the PC Server 330 RAID models. Up to a maximum of 4 ServeRAID adapters can be installed in a PC Server 330 in order to support multiple external disk enclosures. (Consider SSA RAID adapter for large disk configurations, rather than multiple ServeRAID adapters.) 32H3811 PCI SSA RAID Adapter A PCI bus adapter that supports RAID functions using SSA connected disk drives. The SSA drives will normally be contained in external SSA enclosures (such as IBM 3527). Each SSA RAID adapter can support Chapter 5. Other Components 31 up to 96 attached devices, in multiple external enclosures. 94G5570 IBM PC Server Advanced Systems Management Adapter: When combined with TME-10 NetFinity software, this adapter can monitor many system measurement points, such as temperature, power, error conditions, and even provide remote control functions. (May also require Power Unit: 94G5571.) 32 Quick Reference CHAPTER 6. 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. Both solutions also allow full-function LAN access (such as file and print serving) as well as the 3270 access. 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. LAN Distance is provided as a component of the WARP Server product. 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 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 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.

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 or triple-ported LAN adapter works well for this purpose. MINIMAL CONFIGURATION: For users who only need one or two dial in ports, LAN Distance can be configured to use the standard COM1 and COM2 Async ports which come standard on the PC Server S/390 Using this approach, the only expense to implement a dial-in system is the modems at the PC Server S/390. 34 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 of 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 7.

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 6. Dial-In Access 35 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: compact 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 CONNECTING VIA SLIP Another way to get 3270 dial connection to your PC Server S/390 without any additional equipment (other than modems) is to use the OS/2 TCP/IP SLIP support together with LAN3274's TN3270 datastream support. This document cannot provide full details, but in general: 1. Configure the PC Server S/390 with 3270 sessions using LAN3274 (Specify "/PORT=7490" on the DMSTART AWS3274 in IPL.CMD 2. IPL the 390 system and vary on/enable the 3270 address(es). 3. Enable the SLIP line by issueing the following 2 commands from an OS/2 window. compact o MODE COM3:19200 o SLIP -COM3 -connect "ATANS.CMD" 4. Configure a SLIP connection on the client TCP/IP workstation 5. Dial/Connect from the client to the PC Server S/390, establishing the SLIP connection. 36 Quick Reference 6. Open a TN3270 window and connect to the host, specifying port 7490. 7. The PC Server S/390 S/390 Logo should appear. Chapter 6. Dial-In Access 37 38 Quick Reference CHAPTER 7.

Additional disk storage is via SSA RAID adapter and multiple 3527 (Entry SSA Enclosure) external units. Each 3527 will contain five 4.5GB Chapter 9. Sample Configurations 49 drives. Configuration shown has three 3527 with a total of 15 4.5 GB drives. Assuming arrays of seven and eight drives, this provides a total internal+external capacity of about 60GB. Additional 3527 units can be easily added as data base expands. BASE SOFTWARE PACKAGES ______________________ ESL Prices for basic software stacks for each operating system platform.

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 Start with base system, PC Server 330: - 8640-ES2: Base system with no RAID Adapter or __ hard drives - 8640-ESS: System with ServeRAID and two 2.25 __ GB drives GENERAL CONFIG: o Order 4mm DAT drive __ o If 2nd external RAID channel required, order __ bulkhead cable o If using ES2, order ServeRAID, at least two __ internal disk drives and ServeRAID to Backplane cable S/390 MEMORY: Choose total S/390 memory size: Select S/390 memory required: 32MB or 128MB versions o 9662-032: 32MB: Many VSE, small VM __ o 9662-128: 128MB: Memory intensive VSE, most VM, __ all OS/390 SERVER MEMORY: Choose total PC Memory size: o 32MB (base): Sufficient for "S/390 only" systems __ with light I/O. o Additional 32MB - 64MB to allow large (48-64MB) __ HPFS386 cache 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. You should normally select DIMM configuration that miminizes the total number of DIMMs. (C) Copyright IBM Corp. 1997 61 I/O Devices DASD: Most customers will use additional 2.25GB or 4.5GB drives. o Determine total actual data GB required __ o For RAID: adjust for redundant data 'overhead' __ o Use Disk Configuration Aid at end of this __ checklist for assistance o For Array: 'over-configure' to allow capacity for __ growth without disrupting ARRAYs. o Order hard drives/enclosures to meet GB __ requirements o Additional RAID Controller(s)? Consider SSA RAID __ as option when total disk requirements approach 100GB. o SSA RAID adapter __ o External Enclosures (3517, 3518, 3527) as required __ - 3517 Multi-SCSI enclosure __ - 3618 Enterprise Expansion Enclosure __ - 3527 SSA Enclosure __ - 7133 for large SSA storage requirements __ LAN ADAPTERS o Token Ring:? Auto LANStreamer PCI, Triple __ LANStreamer PCI o Ethernet:? PCI Ethernet and PCI 10/100 Ethernet __ adapters - Media: 10-Base-T (unshielded twisted pair) or 10-Base-2 (thin Coax)? o ATM, FDDI, 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 (OS/390) o MultiPort model 2: RS-232, up to 8 lines per adapter (VM, VSE) (Carefully review supported interfaces, speeds, and protocols before ordering a specific configuration.) OTHER I/O o S/390 Parallel Channel Adapter ? (attach S/390 __ type I/O Devices) 62 Quick Reference 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 6 drives - APC Smart-UPS 1000: Medium systems, (one expansion unit) - APC Smart-UPS 1400: Larger systems, or longer battery run time. o PC Server Advanced Systems Management Adapter __ Displays o Size: 14", 15", 17", 20" __ o General ('G') or Pro ('P') series __ DISK CONFIGURATION AID The following table is intended to assist in determining Hard Drive configurations. It is based on following assumptions: o Uses 2.25 GB or 4.5GB Drives only (Type III backplane/tray). o RAID configurations assume RAID-5 o Configurations are for maximum capacity, not maximum performance o External enclosure configurations not shown o CDROM and 4mm DAT are connected to integrated SCSI adapter, allowing use of all 6 internal Hot/Swap bays. RAID System Internal Capacity Use this chart to help configure Array systems Chapter 10. PC Server S/390 Order Checklist 63 +--------------------------------------+ | Table 19. PC Server S/390 | | Internal RAID Capacity | +--------+--------------+--------------+ | # | TOTAL | DATA | | DRIVES | CAPACITY, | CAPACITY, | | | 2.25GB / | 2.25GB / | | | 4.5GB | 4.5GB | +--------+--------------+--------------+ | 3 | 6.7/13.5 | 4.5/9.0 | | | | | +--------+--------------+--------------+ | 4 | 9.0/18.0 | 6.7/13.5 | | | | | +--------+--------------+--------------+ | 5 | 11.2/22.5 | 9.0/18.0 | | | | | +--------+--------------+--------------+ | 6 | 13.5/27.0 | 11.2/22.5 | | | | | +--------+--------------+--------------+ Using 3517 Each 3517 can hold 5 Hot/Swap drives and 2 non-Hot/Swap, of either 2.25 or 4.5GB capacity per drive. Assuming 4.5GB hard drives, a 5 drive configuration provides 18GB useable, or 27GB useable in a 7 drive configuration. Using 3518 Each 3518 can hold up to 18 hot/Swap hard drives of either 2.25 or 4.5 GB each. Twelve drives can be connected to a single channel of the ServeRAID adapter. Use of 13-18 drives requires the connection of a second RAID/SCSI channel. An 18 drive 3518 by itself can provide 67.5 GB of RAID 5 disk capacity. Combining this with the 6 internal drives of a PC Server 330 (3 arrays of 8 drives each) provides a total of about 94GB. Using 3527 Each 3527 SSA Expansion Enclosure provides up to 5 hard drives (2.25 or 4.5 GB) per enclosure. Multiple 3527 units can be connected to a single SSA RAID adapter, with up to 96 active disk drives per adapter. Configurations providing over 200GB RAID-5 useable disk space are possible with a single SSA RAID adapter. 64 Quick Reference IBM Part Number: 061297 File Number: S/390 Printed in U.S.A.
