Description

The IBM 9401 is an Application System/400 that consists of two versions, both for single- and multi-user environments. One is a Portable AS/400 version. The other is an AS/400 Advanced Entry version.

Model Description 9401-P03:   The AS/400 Advanced Portable can be used for:

The 840MB QIC Mini Tape Unit is a feature for the AS/400 Advanced Portable. It provides a lower priced alternative, and a convenient, smaller-sized tape cartridge than the traditional QIC devices.

The IBM 9401 Application System/400 Portable is an AS/400 system unit designed for the single- and multi-user environments. Its compact size and portability allow for easy transportation of the system between work and other locations. AS/400 software that currently operates on the 9402, 9404 and 9406 will run on the Portable system. This includes the more than 20,000 applications currently available for the AS/400 system, including client/server applications. Approximately the size and weight of a fully packed attache case, the AS/400 Portable comes with a carrying case that can hold the system and a notebook computer. The IBM ThinkPad and other notebook computers are supported. The hard-sided case, with the added benefit of wheels and a handle, may be checked as airline luggage. To meet the IBM protection standard for shipping, it is significantly larger than the soft-sided case. Any twinaxial device supported by the AS/400 system may also be used as a workstation.

AS/400 Function in a Compact Package

AS/400 Advanced Portable provides full OS/400 function in a compact package and is designed to meet the needs of customers who require a single or multi-user system that is easily transportable and can also run a wide range of AS/400 applications, including client/server applications.

AS/400 Advanced Portable can also be used for development and testing of new applications, as well as training and customer support activities consistent with supporting multiple, remote or distributed systems. It is an ideal solution when portability outweighs the need for growth.

The AS/400 Advanced Portable's lightweight and compact carrying case allows it to be easily transported by car or airplane, thereby saving shipping costs and eliminating possible delivery delays. AS/400 Advanced Portable is approximately the size and weight of a fully packed attache case. The optional soft sided carrying case can hold both the AS/400 Advanced Portable and a notebook computer. A hard sided carrying case, suitable for checking as luggage, is also available.

AS/400 Advanced Portable Packages

To simplify ordering, the AS/400 Advanced Portable is offered in pre-defined packages: Three twinaxial-based systems, three LAN based systems, and a server.

Each package is a complete system, including pre-loaded software required by a majority of users (OS/400, CA/400, and Query/400). The package prices do not include the price of the software.

Devices Supported

TAPE DEVICES

3450 Model 001

The 3450 Model 001 is an external 1.2GB 1/4-inch tape drive which attaches to the AS/400 Advanced Portable via the base Multi-Function I/O processor and has an effective data rate of 300KB per second when operating using the QIC-1000 Data Cartridge media. It can be used for alternate IPL, save/restore, program interchange, and 1/4-inch cartridge tape interchange with other AS/400 systems. Full interchange of data is supported with all the standard and optional 1/4-inch cartridge tape units provided on the 9402, 9404 and 9406 system models. (The 3450 Model 001 is approved for operation in residential environments.)

To attach the AS/400 Advanced Portable to a 3450 Model 001 External 1/4-inch Cartridge Tape Drive, the following cable attachment feature is required:

 
     Description                      Part Number      Feature Number
  ---------------------------         -----------      --------------
  1.2m System to Device Cable           21H0197             2856
 

Note: Cable features used with the 9401 Models P01 and P02 cannot be used with the AS/400 Advanced Portable.

7207 Model 012

Though the 7207 was supported on the 9401 Models P01 and P02, it is not recommended for use on the AS/400 Advanced Portable. Because this tape drive is an RS/6000 product, there is built-in microcode which OS/400 may erase when doing an IPL. In some instances, it may be impossible to again update the microcode for RS/6000 compatibility. If you have previously IPLed the 7207 on a 9401, and do not anticipate a need for transferring use between the 9401 and RS/6000, you may continue to utilize the 7207 on the AS/400 Advanced Portable.

To attach the AS/400 Advanced Portable to a 7207 Model 12, the following cable attachment feature is required:

 
     Description                      Part Number      Feature Number
  ---------------------------         -----------      --------------
  1.2m System to Device Cable           21H0197             2856
 

Note: Cable features used with the 9401 Models P01 and P02 cannot be used with the AS/400 Advanced Portable models.

REMOTE WORKSTATION CONTROLLERS

5251 Model 12

The 5251 Model 12 may be used to attach remote workstations. It is a workstation controller and communications unit for remote attachment of multiple display stations and printers. Client Access/400 access by Personal Computers and Personal System/2s attached to the 5251 Model 12 is not supported.

5394 Remote Control Unit

The 5394 Remote Control Unit attaches up to sixteen 5250 type displays, printers, IBM Personal Computers and Personal System/2s, and Personal System/55 (AP only) to an AS/400 via a communications link.

5494 Remote Control Unit

The 5494 Remote Control Unit manages the operation of workstations and workstation communications to the AS/400. The IBM 5494-EXT replaces the IBM 5494-001 and the IBM 5494-002. The 5494 now has only one model, to which features are added customizing the 5494 for operational needs.

The 5494-EXT supports the attachment of up to 28 twinaxial devices. With the 5494 Twinaxial Expansion Kit installed, up to 56 twinaxial devices can communicate to the AS/400 through a Type 2.1 connection.

By installing the 5494 Token-Ring Adapter, the 5494-EXT has all the functional capabilities of the withdrawn 5494-002. It can communicate with an AS/400 system over a Token-Ring network while supporting up to 28 twinaxial devices, or can support Token-Ring attached devices while communicating with an AS/400 over an SDLC, X.21, or X.25 connection. In this configuration, the 5494 supports up to 80 devices of which up to 28 could be twinaxial attached and the rest Token-Ring attached.

The Ethernet Adapter supports IEEE 802.2 logical link control and IEEE 802.3 or DIX Version 2.0 frame format using a 10BASE2 (BNC), a 10BASE5 (15-pin D-SUB), or a 10BASE-T (RJ-45) connector. The 5494 Ethernet AUI Cable allows the attachment to an Ethernet Network using thick coaxial (10BASE5) cabling. Ethernet support allows the 5494 to be used as a gateway to an Ethernet LAN or attach to an AS/400 System via an Ethernet Network.

The 5494 Utility Program allows the selection of Concurrent Diagnostics, configuration information, or to reset and restart the 5494 Remote Control Unit from a remote Programmable Workstation (PWS). The PWS no longer needs to be directly attached to a 5494 to provide access to remote 5494s from a central site.

The IBM 5494 Release 3.0 microcode supports all the functions of the IBM 5494 Release 2.0 microcode and the following enhancements:

·         Support of OS/400 Version 3 Release 1.

6250 X Terminal Family

The IBM 6250 X Terminal offers high-performance, local-area network (LAN)-attached X terminals that provide a low-cost, desk-top platform for connectivity to the AS/400* and UNIX based host platforms (such as the RS/6000*). The 6250 X Terminal supports multiple 5250 emulation sessions to one or more AS/400s using an X Windows interface. The X terminal can also access UNIX host applications using either the memory efficient 6250 Window manger or the industry standard Motif** Window Manager. Either window manager provides a superb graphics platform for applications in the X Window environment.

The 6250 X Terminal Family includes four models...color and monochrome Ethernet models and color and monochrome Token-Ring models. They come with a base of 4MB of memory, expandable to 20MB or 16MB, depending on the model. The displays both have a resolution of 1024X768 and the color models support 256 colors.

The 6250 X Terminal requires one AS/400 on the LAN to have the IBM 6250 X Terminal Program for OS/400 (PRPQ 5799-QGP) installed. The X terminal down-loads the X window environment from the AS/400 and then can communicate with other hosts on the LAN.

The X terminals include an integrated, swivel display, keyboard, three button mouse and license to use the 6250 program. The X terminals have an easy to use setup menu for initial configuration and standard LAN connectors for the most popular Ethernet or Token-Ring connections.

Personal System/2 Support

The AS/400 supports the IBM Personal System/2 models and the IBM Personal Typing System. For information regarding attachment of specific Personal System/2 models refer to the model Sales Manual description under "List of Supported Products" for AS/400 attachment hardware and under "IBM Software Compatibility" for supported AS/400 software.

MISCELLANEOUS DEVICES

5259 Migration Data Link

The 5259 Migration Data Link is a stand-alone device that offers a cabled data path between the IBM System/36 or System/38 and the IBM AS/400 system. Systems are connected through their respective workstation controllers.

The Migration Data Link, together with programming support provided by the IBM AS/400 System/36 Migration Aid (5727-MG1) or the IBM AS/400 System/38 Migration Aid (5714-MG1) and the IBM Operating System/400 Version 3 Release 0.5 or later, provides for data send/receive functions between systems. In addition, the Migration Data Link provides access between systems by providing hot key availability from up to seven workstations per Migration Data Link.

8228 Multi-Station Access Unit

The 8228 Multi-Station Access Unit or equivalent may be required to attach the AS/400 Advanced Portable to your token-ring network. The IBM 8228 is a compact device which can be mounted in a standard 19-inch wiring closet rack, or placed wherever you have space. It provides for attachment of up to eight devices to your LAN, and can be used in multiples to accommodate all your devices. The IBM 8228 is designed for smaller token-ring LANs and does not support network management programs and alerts.

9910 Uninterruptible Power Systems

9910 Uninterruptible Power Systems: An Uninterruptible Power System (UPS) significantly improves system uptime by minimizing the impact from power fluctuations and outages. The UPS will protect both the hardware and software assets and provide power for a limited period of time, when required. If the power outage continues, the UPS notifies the AS/400 to start a controlled shutdown that helps save the customer's data. The AS/400 Advanced Portable does not contain an internal Battery Backup Unit (BBU) and therefore an external UPS is recommended. The UPS has roughly the equivalent cost of a BBU while providing additional function.

The UPSs offered are manufactured by Best Power Technology, Inc. and Exide Electronics, Inc. and offer a two- or five-year warranty (UPS and battery), dependent on the model and manufacturer.

The following UPSs are available with the AS/400 Advanced Portable:

Refer to the country table in announcement letter 195-016, dated 02/07/95. For additional information on the UPSs contained in the country table refer to announcement letter 194-112, dated 05/03/94, for models 9910-B08 and 9910-B09 and announcement letter 194-315, dated 10/04/94, for model 9910-B22.

Technical Description

Physical Specifications

Weight: 10 Kg (22 lbs) (Maximum configuration)

Height: 32 cm (13 inches)

Depth: 40 cm (16 inches)

Width: 10.5 cm (4 inches) (Excluding pedestal)

Width: 16.5 cm (6.5 inches) (Including pedestal)

Operating Environment

·         Temperature: 10 to 38 degrees C (50 to 100 degrees F)

The IBM 3450 Model 001 tape drive and the new QIC Mini Tape cartridge have a relative humidity range of 20 to 80 percent.

The AS/400 Advanced Portable should always be used with a grounded AC outlet. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure a properly grounded outlet is available.

The operation and reliability of this product can be adversely affected by exposure to extreme temperature conditions, such as those that might develop within an automobile.

The following table can be used for acclimation times if the system has been in a hot environment, in the soft-sided case, for an extended period of time.

 
                          | Acclimation Time
              Temperature | (in soft-sided case)
                  --------------------
                  104 F   |   0.25 hrs
                  (40 C)  |
                  --------------------
                  122 F   |   1.5 hrs
                  (50 C)  |
                  --------------------
                  140 F   |   2.5 hrs
                  (60 C)  |
 

"Temperature" is the temperature which the machine is allowed to heat up to. "Acclimation Time" is the time required for the system to reach a point below the allowable maximum operating temperature. Since condensation is not a concern, when bringing a hot system into a cooler environment, the carrying case should be removed.

In addition, if the machine is moved between places with very different temperature and humidity levels, condensation can build up and damage the equipment. When traveling, allow sufficient time for the equipment to adjust to environmental changes before unpacking or connecting AC power.

The approximate acclimation times for a cold AS/400 Advanced Portable in the carrying case are:

 
                          | Acclimation Time
              Temperature | (in soft-sided case)
                  --------------------
                   10 C   |     0 hrs
                  (50 F)  |
                  --------------------
                    0 C   |   2.5 hrs
                  (32 F)  |
                  --------------------
                  -10 C   |   3.5 hrs
                  (14 F)  |
                  --------------------
                  -30 C   |   5.5 hrs
                 (-22 F)  |
                  --------------------
 

"Temperature" is the temperature that the machine is allowed to cool down to prior to bringing it indoors. "Acclimation Time" is the time required for the machine's temperature to rise above the room dew point temperature in a room at 68 degrees-F and 40-45% relative humidity. (The machine will not actually be at room temperature, but will be warm enough that condensation will not occur.) The machine should be left in the carrying case during this time.

For rooms with higher then 68 degrees F, Dew Point temperatures, a combination of temperature and relative humidity that yields higher levels of airborne moisture, the acclimation times will need to increase.

Failure to permit sufficient time for the AS/400 Advanced Portable to acclimate itself, per the previous tables, constitutes system misuse and will void the warranty.

Limitations

AS/400 Advanced Portable not upgradable to any other AS/400 model, nor are the 9401 P01 or the P02 upgradable to the AS/400 Advanced Portable.

Please note that though the 7207-012 was supported on the 9401 Models P01 and P02, it is not recommended on the AS/400 Advanced Portable (see text in feature support section).

This product must be in a vertical position to operate properly.

Hardware Requirements

To maintain the system unit, a system configuration in needed which consists of the AS/400 Advanced Portable system unit and a system console. The system console may include any supported display, IBM Personal Computer, or notebook computer.

Note: The PCMCIA adapter (P/N 92G5360) is not included.

In order to support the system console requirement for purposes of service on portable or personal computers, a terminal emulator program is required, (for example, DP5250). Client Access/400 does not provide this function. The console should be located within six meters (20 feet) of the system control panel, which must be readable from the console. Although required, the system console is not a component of the base system unit.

A printer is not required for service, however, IBM's ability to diagnose the system is greatly enhanced when a printer is available.

This Product requires an IBM 3450 Model 001 or QIC Mini Tape Unit for removable media functions and when an alternate IPL device is required.

Software Requirements

AS/400 Advanced Portable is designed to operate with OS/400 Version 3 Release 1.

Miscellaneous Features

Transition Data Link (#0059):   (For IBM US, No Longer Available as of June 30, 2000)

The IBM Transition Data Link (TDL) feature offers a twinaxial cable data path between IBM twinaxial systems, enabling easy migration of data from one system to another. The systems (an AS/400 and either an Advanced System 36, an IBM System/38 or any other AS/400 with a twinaxial workstation controller) are connected via their respective local twinaxial workstation controllers. Licence Programs 5727-MG1 for S/36 and 5714-MG1 for S/38 are required to drive the TDL. Software for AS/400 to AS/400 Data Transfer is automatically shipped as part of OS/400. The TDL provides for data send/receive functions between systems. Data is transferred at the system workstation controller data interchange speed.

Because this device requires a twinaxial workstation controller, it is available with the T01 and T02 packages only.

Maximum: One.
