Abstract

The IBM 9406 A/400e 6XX systems feature a range of models with IBM PowerPC AS microprocessors provides excellent scalability and growth that can keep pace with your most demanding business tasks, including conferencing, accounting, database management, or managing networks of users as a file server.

A high-end design (Model 650) provides a high-function, commercially robust package that supports 8-way and 12-way processors, up to 40GB of main storage, and 2095.9GB of disk storage. With this unprecedented growth comes the support you expect for the world of global computing: network and collaborative computing, support for capitalizing on Internet e-commerce opportunities, and high availability and recovery.

The entry point design Model 600 spans a broad range of performance. It provides lower cost for small configurations and the versatility to grow to large configurations with 2-way symmetric multiprocessors, 4GB of main storage, and 944.8GB of disk storage (Model 620).

The family of PowerPC-based I/O processors deliver greater function, improved performance and cost reductions on common configurations.

Beginning with Version 4 Release 1, OS/400 is included in the price of AS/400e systems. A software order is required to record the OS/400 license included with these systems.

AS/400e systems -- superior integration of technology and faster deployment through combined growth flexibility and performance advantages.

Description

·         Greater adaptability and flexibility

Four AS/400e systems span sixteen different processor features. You have greater flexibility in matching system performance to your business requirements today and an established, cost-effective growth path for the future.

AS/400 e-systems incorporate IBM 64-bit RISC technology featuring PowerPC AS microprocessors. This leading-edge technology delivers high performance with a lower overall cost of computing to provide e-systems with even greater levels of price/performance.

AS/400e systems using PowerPC technology include up to 40GB of main storage. This additional memory provides extensive room for growth and helps increase system performance for a large number of users.

Comprehensive support for leading communications protocols and technologies such as wireless LAN and AS/400 Integrated Fax Adapters is available.

Operating System/400 (OS/400), a robust commercial operating system, simplifies administration time and reduces costs by including such critical features as security, communications and DB2 for OS/400, and full-function relational database management system (RDBMS).

AS/400 integrates basic system management components -- such as security -- with advanced system management functions. The result is greater availability and reliability for your mission-critical applications.

Operations Console

The AS/400 supports a new directly-attached, full-function 5250 PC console that includes a graphical control panel application. The user interface of the control panel application resembles its hardware counterpart. The console and control panel applications can be used together or separately, but each requires its own direct cable attachment to an AS/400 system. Each cable must be purchased separately from IBM for the AS/400 model being used. Both cables are only available in a single length of six meters.

The direct-attach console can also serve as a gateway for a dial-in remote console. The remote console can also be configured to run the 5250 emulator application and/or the graphical control panel application. Both applications enable you to perform the majority of system operations tasks, for example back-up and recovery, with the AS/400 systems and the operations staff in physically separate locations. The connection between the remote and direct-attach console uses Windows dial-up networking point-to-point protocol (PPP) with the direct-attach console employing Windows NT Remote Access Service (RAS) for access.

The applications are included on the Operations Navigator CD-ROM shipped with OS/400 V4R3. They are installed and used from PCs with Windows NT Workstation 4.0 (required for the direct-attach console when it serves as a remote console gateway) when remote PC access is desired or Windows 9X operating systems. The operations console application requires the appropriate operations console cable, based on the AS/400 model on which it will be used. The remote control panel application requires a remote control panel cable, also based on the AS/400 model. OS/400 V4R3 is always required for direct/remote 5250 console attachment, however the control panel application will function as a stand-alone application with any AS/400 Advanced Series or e-Series system.

EZ-Setup

EZ-Setup simplifies iSeries setup with a GUI and an easy-to-follow interface on your PC attached to an AS/400 via Op Console, or a LAN connection. EZ-Setup steps you through the setup process and minimize decisions where possible. EZ-Setup is delivered on the Setup and Operations CD shipped with the iSeries system hardware. The code runs on a PC under Windows 95/98/NT 4.0/2000.

Product Positioning

AS/400e series offers more function, higher performance, and dramatically better price/performance than previous models.

E-systems are best for host-centric computing needs where data is stored and managed by a single system, application processing and screen processing are done by the same system, and screen information is sent to workstations to be displayed without further processing. The workstations can be non-programmable terminals, or PCs running emulation programs.

Notes:

·         Relative system performance measurements (CPW values) are based on AS/400 environment, commercial processing workload (CPW). The CPW workload is representative of commercial applications, particularly those that do significant database processing in conjunction with journaling and commitment control. The CPW workload is measured on maximum configurations. CPW values may not be realized in all environments.

Operating Environment

Note: (1) All tape media used on the 9406 have a relative humidity range of 20% to 80%.

Voltage

Model 600 system units can operate at either low voltage (100-127 VAC) or high voltage (200-240 VAC). Models 620, 640, and 650 system units operate at high voltage. Expansion towers #5070, #5072, #5080, and #5082 can operate at either low voltage or high voltage. Expansion towers #9251, #5071, #5073, #5081, and #5083 operate at high voltage.

The appropriate system power cord is added automatically by the configurator based on the three-digit country code on the order. Refer to the "AS/400 Physical Planning Reference," (SA41-5109) for your default power cord, other power cord options, and additional technical planning information. For upgrades, it is important to consult SA41-5109 to make sure no changes to your power distribution system are required.

Limitations

Not applicable.

Hardware Requirements

The minimum operable and serviceable system configuration consists of a system unit and a system console.

The system requires AS/400 Licensed Internal Code. The Licensed Internal Code is preloaded on the system disk storage unit.

The system console may be any supported display or IBM-compatible personal computer emulating a supported display. The system console should be located within six meters (20 feet) of the operator's panel, and the operator's panel must be viewable from the display.

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

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

A high-speed modem, IBM 7852 or equivalent, is required for ECS.

Software Requirements

AS/400e systems require the support of OS/400 V4R1, or later. Some features may require a later release of OS/400. Refer to individual feature descriptions.

No Charge Specify Codes

Disk Protection

(#0040) Mirrored System Disk Level Protection

When added to an order, this specify code will cause the order to fail if sufficient disk units are not ordered to support device level mirrored protection. On upgrade orders, a warning message will be generated during installation of the upgrade if sufficient disk units are not available to support device level protection across the system.

#0040 requires all disk units to be placed into mirrored pairs. The load source must be controlled by the MFIOP and must be mirrored to a like disk unit also attached to the MFIOP. The minimum number of disks allowed on a system is two.

(#0042) Mirrored System IOP Level Protection

When added to an order, this specify code will cause the order to fail if sufficient disk units and IOPs are not included on the order to support IOP level mirrored protection. On upgrade orders, a warning message will be generated during installation of the upgrade if sufficient disk units and IOPs are not available to support IOP level protection across the system.

#0042 requires all disk units to be placed into mirrored pairs. Each mirrored pair of disk units must be on separate disk unit IOPs. The load source must be controlled by the MFIOP and must be mirrored to a like disk unit also attached to the MFIOP (#0040 protection). The minimum number of disks allowed on a system is four.

(#0043) Mirrored System BUS Level Protection

When added to an order, this specify code will cause the order to fail if sufficient disk units, IOPs and expansion units are not included on the order to support BUS level mirrored protection. On upgrade orders, a warning message will be generated during installation of the upgrade if sufficient disk units, IOPs and expansion units are not available to support bus level protection across the system.

#0043 requires all disk units to be placed into mirrored pairs. Each mirrored pair of disk units must be on separate SPD buses. The load source must be controlled by the MFIOP and must be mirrored to a like disk unit also attached to the MFIOP (#0040 protection). The minimum number of disks allowed on a system is four.

(#0044) Device Parity Protection

When added to an order, this specify code will cause the order to fail if a non-RAID configuration is ordered. This is the default specify code for data protection.

#0044 requires that all internal disk units be placed into RAID arrays using #2726, #6502, #6512, #6532 or #9751. The rules for RAID can be found in the description for #2726, #6502, #6512, #6532 and #9751.

Ideally, all disk units should be put into a RAID array. However, for upgrades only, in order to maintain compatibility with upgrade systems that did not have the ability to put the load source file into a RAID array the marketing configurators will allow up to four non-RAID disks to be configured with #0044. The four non-RAID disks must be mirrored. The definition of a non-RAID disk is (1) an old disk that can't be put into a RAID array because it technically doesn't work or (2) a new disk that can't be put into a RAID array because there aren't enough disks for a valid RAID array.

Alternate IPL

Licensed Internal Code (LIC) for AS/400 RISC models will be distributed on CD-ROM media.

The configurator will verify that a tape or migrated tape specify has been selected. If not, the order will fail with a message explaining that without a tape device the save/restore capability of the system is jeopardized.

In order to ensure the availability of ALT-IPL capability, the configurator will validate that the system has an ALT-IPL specify code.

One of the following specify codes is required on AS/400 systems to identify the alternate IPL device, otherwise base validation will fail. The alternate IPL specify code indicates that the IOP used to control the tape device must be placed into the system unit. Model 600 does not have an alternate IPL device.

Specify

--------  --------------------------------------
#5503     Alternate IPL Specify for 9347
#5504     Alternate IPL Specify for 3490 EXX/FXX

#5519     Alternate IPL Specify for 3590
#5531     Alternate IPL Specify for 16GB Tape
#5536     Alternate IPL Specify for 25GB Tape
 

Note: (1) Not allowed if #0095 or #0096 is the only tape specify.

The configurator supports changes to the alternate IPL device by removing the installed 55XX code and adding the new 55XX code.

Device Attachment

(#0095) Lcl Src Tape w/SPD Ctlr

(For IBM US, No Longer Available as of December 28, 2001)

This specify code satisfies the system requirement of having a tape or external tape controller. Specify code #0095 reserves a card position for an external tape controller. It is assumed that this controller is used by a customer sourced external tape. Any additional tapes or customer sourced codes work independently of this code.

This specify code does not count towards any controller limits in the configurators, but it does satisfy the requirement for having a tape on the system. Maximum: Limited only by the number of SPD slots for tape IOPs

Field upgrades are not allowed to systems with #0095 on the install record. Specify code #0095 must be removed, and the correct tape and controller added to the installed machine record.

(#0096) Lcl Src Tape w/PCI Ctlr

(For IBM US, No Longer Available as of December 28, 2001)

This specify code satisfies the system requirement of having a tape or external tape controller. Specify code #0096 reserves a card position for an external tape controller. It is assumed that this controller is used by a customer sourced external tape. Any additional tapes or customer sourced codes work independently of this code.

This specify code does not count towards any controller limits in the configurators, but it does satisfy the requirement for having a tape on the system. Maximum: Limited only by the number of PCI slots for tape controllers.

Field upgrades are not allowed to systems with #0096 on the install record. Specify code #0096 must be removed, and the correct tape and controller added to the installed machine record.

(#5544) Sys Console on Op Console

Enables use of a PC as a remote system console and control panel. Operations Console Cable (#0328) is required to attach to the Base Multi-Protocol Communications Adapter (#9699). #9699 is installed in the MFIOP of the remote system. OS/400 V4R3, or later, is required. Remote control panel function is also available when #5544 is specified by ordering the Remote Control Panel Cable (#0380 or #0381). Maximum: One.

System Install Method

(#0200) Replacing the Release Install

(For IBM US, No Longer Available as of May 31, 1999)

This no-charge specify code denotes that the upgrade will be done via the Replacing the Release Install method. This upgrade method may be used for upgrading systems running OS/400 V2R3 through V3R2. The Replacing the Release Install method is based on user objects remaining on the disk units throughout the upgrade process. All supported disk units are retained in the upgrade to the RISC system. Prior to upgrading the hardware, the Disk Preparation Utility must be run to prepare the disk units on the prior release system for the new 4KB page size. All necessary object conversions are done by the system as part of the upgrade. This is the preferred approach for larger systems when all disk units will be moved to the RISC system. The Replacing the Release Install method reduces potential problems caused by save/restore and tape handling. It is the method most commonly used by AS/400 customers.

(#0201) Unload/Reload Release Install

(For IBM US, No Longer Available as of May 31, 1999)

This no-charge specify code denotes the upgrade will be done via the Unload/Reload Release Install method. This method consists of unloading user applications and data to tape, upgrading the hardware to a Power PC system, installing OS/400, and reloading the user applications and data. This approach is attractive for smaller systems, and reduces upgrade time compared to replacing the release. It may also be an effective method for upgrading common programs and files on multiple systems. This feature is only allowed on IMPI to RISC upgrades.

(#0202) Staged Upgrade Offering

(For IBM US, No Longer Available as of May 31, 1999)

This priced option provides an upgrade option that uses the upgrade hardware components to translate and validate user applications prior to the actual upgrade, using either #0200 or #0201 methods. This priced offering requires careful advanced planning. AS400 Road Map for Changing to PowerPC Technology (SA41-4150) describes this offering in detail. IBM services are also available for a charge. This feature is only allowed on IMPI to RISC upgrades.

(#0203) Side by Side Install

(For IBM US, No Longer Available as of July 2, 2002)

This no-charge specify code is used to alert IBM service representatives of the intention to install a new system concurrently with an existing system, and over time, move applications to the new system. This method may be used when adding a system to an existing complex or network, or when a replaced system is being moved to another location. AS400 Road Map for Changing to PowerPC Technology (SA41-4150) describes this option in detail. IBM services are also available for a charge. #0203 is not allowed if #0400 or #5000 is on order.

(#0204) Staged Side by Side Upgrade

(For IBM US, No Longer Available as of May 31, 1999)

#0204 is a no-charge specify code denoting that the upgrade will be done via the Staged Side by Side Upgrade method. #0202 is required on the order and indicates that IBM will provide the base CEC required to translate and validate user applications prior to the actual upgrade. #0204 indicates that the customer will be purchasing enough disk storage (and other features if necessary) to completely duplicate the disk storage of their production IMPI machine. #0204 also indicates that the upgrade will be performed using a method similar to the Side by Side Install method (#0203). This offering requires careful advanced planning. AS400 Road Map for Changing to PowerPC Technology (SA41-4150) describes this offering in detail. IBM services are also available for a charge. Prerequisite: #0202 - Staged Upgrade Offering.

Miscellaneous

(#0002) Customer Install MES

required to install this MES on the Model 600. This code drives translated customer installation instructions, MES package labeling, and indicates that an IBM CE should not automatically be dispatched to install the MES. The order configurators will place this specify on orders when required.

(#0003) Non-Customer Install MES

This feature is used to indicate that CE involvement is required to install this MES. This feature drives CE installation instructions, MES package labeling, and indicates that an IBM CE should be dispatched to install the MES.

(#0006) LPAR Restrict Build Process

Added to an initial order system where logical partitioning (LPAR)(#0140) is requested. This code instructs manufacturing to only load SLIC on the minimum number of DASD files (ie. do not spread across all available DASD units.

Mutually exclusive with #5000 SW Preload, or any Solution Developer Preloads.

Prerequisite: #0140 (Logical Partitioned System). Maximum: One.

(#0140) Logical Partitioned System

#0140 is specified to indicate the number of logical partitions desired for a system implementing logical partition (LPAR) support. For a system to use logical partitions, it must have a multi-processor (2-way, 4-way, 8-way, or 12-way). The following processors, by model, support logical partitions. The maximum number of logical partitions supported is shown in parenthesis following each processor.

If logical partitioning is designated, the configurator will request the total number of partitions desired on the system, including the primary partition. The valid number of #0140 specify codes is from two to 12. The configurator will then validate that the number of load source IOPs, and the total number of workstation controllers (adapters) and console cables are equal to the number of logical partitions specified.

The first time logical partitioning is designated, the configurator will default one #2624/#2748 controller for each feature CD-ROM specified, up to the maximum number of controllers per system. After reaching this controller maximum, additional feature CD-ROMs may be added. The defaulted #2624/#2748 controllers may be removed from the order if not needed.

(#0213) Development/Demonstration Discount Program

This feature is used to indicate that the system or feature being ordered qualifies for discount under the development discount program or the demonstration discount program.

(#9902) Do Not Integrate

(For IBM US, No Longer Available as of July 2, 2002)

#9902 is added to an order by the configurator so that manufacturing does not integrate the device into a rack, etc. The device with #9902 must be shipped in its own packaging.

Special Feature Codes -- Chargeable

typically accomplished through three methods: feature exchanges, feature conversions and straight add/removes.

Feature exchanges involve the sale of one or more parts and the return of one or more parts (unless otherwise noted). Feature exchanges are typically used for main storage transactions where a credit may be given for some exchanges on selected models, upon the return of installed IBM main storage cards.

Feature conversions are generated when it is necessary to change a feature number either as a result of physically modifying the feature, or as a result of updating the install record for a non-supported feature. In the case of physically modifying the feature, parts will be shipped and removed or replaced parts may or may not be returned. In the case where only records are being updated, no parts are sent.

The straight add or remove of a feature typically does not involve any credit. Unless otherwise specified, a removed feature remains the property of the customer.

System Configuration

All system units and expansion units have locations for features including processors, main storage, power, expansion, disks, tapes, CD-ROM, and IOPs. The configurator contains the rules and performance considerations for placement of these features, and should be used to ensure a valid configuration. The use of performance tools may also help in optimizing a configuration to match a specific set of requirements.

Customer-Installable Features

On Model 600, IBM will begin to deliver customer-installable features. This is in response to customer requests for more flexibility in system and MES installability. Future systems will be designed to further enable customer-installable features. On the Model 600, DASD, PCI features, and external cables will be customer installable.

On MES orders where all features are customer installable, the customer will install all features. On MES orders that contain mix of customer engineer (CE) and customer-installable features, if you so choose, the CE will install all features (including those designated as customer installable). IBM installation of orders containing all customer-installable features will be available via normal service contracts.

PCI Card Packaging

With Models 600 and 620, an industry-standard form factor known as Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) is introduced. In the future, it will allow AS/400 to choose from a wide range of devices that can be integrated into the system. The introduction of PCI technology to AS/400 packaging promotes the integration of new technologies for AS/400 applications.

(For IBM US, No Longer Available as of March 31, 1999)

This feature provides the hardware for migrating one 2.5GB tape unit from a previous model of the AS/400.

Notes on Tape Migration

Hardware data compression was supported on the MFIOP on previous models of the AS/400. Models 600 and 620 do not support hardware data compression as new tape devices all support compression or compaction internal to the device. Software data compression can still be used and is compatible with tapes written on prior systems with hardware data compression. Some degradation in system and tape performance may occur when using software data compression compared to a system with hardware data compression. Replacing the 1.2GB 1/4-Inch Tape with a new #6481 2.5GB 1/4-Inch tape (which supports 5.0GB typical capacity with device compaction) should be considered. Alternatively a new #6585 13.0GB 1/4-Inch tape (which supports 26GB typical capacity with device compaction) should be considered.

Migration kits contains different parts when ordered for a Model 620 that supports tape concurrent maintenance, than when ordered for a Model 600 that does not support tape concurrent maintenance.

See Tape Unit Table -- Migration Kits for information on which features require a migration kit.

Disk, Tape, and Diskette Unit Controllers

Disk unit and tape unit IOPs are considered high-workload IOPs and thus require special consideration when configuring a system. In addition to their workload capability IOPs can be streaming or non-streaming.

Disk Unit IOPs

The AS/400 accommodates both internal and external disk devices. All internal devices are controlled by the MFIOP, the RAID 5 Disk Unit Controller (#6502), the Disk Unit Controller for RAID (#6512), the Storage Device Controller (#6530) or the RAID Disk Unit Controller (#6532). The external devices are controlled by the Direct Access Storage Device Controller (#6500) or the Tape/Disk Device Controller (#6501).

The following limits are to be placed on combinations of disk unit IOPs. It may be possible for a system to contain more IOPs than these limits suggest if an IOP is being used to control tape, CD-ROM or diskette.

Tape Unit IOPs

The AS/400 accommodates both internal and external tape devices. All internal devices are controlled by the MFIOP, the Storage Device Controller (#2624) or the Internal Tape Device Controller (#6513). The external devices are controlled by the Removable Media Device Attachment (#2621), the 34XX Magnetic Tape Subsystem Attachment (#2644), the Magnetic Storage Device Controller (#6112), the Tape/Disk Device Controller (#6501) or the Magnetic Media Controller (#6534).

Diskette Unit IOPs

The AS/400 accommodates the 9331 diskette including both 5 1/4" and 8" sizes. Diskettes are controlled by the Magnetic Storage Device Controller (#6112) or the Diskette Adapter (#6146).

(#2621) Removable Media Device Attachment

(For IBM US, No Longer Available as of June 30, 2000)

#2621 is an IOP that provides two ports of differential SCSI for tape and optical attachment to the AS/400. #2621 includes hardware data compression for tape devices. The following devices can be attached.

Each #2621 supports the following combinations of tape/optical devices (see description of 7208 and 9427 in externals IPLN for special restrictions).

The best performance can be obtained when the 9427 is attached to both ports of the #2621. This configuration does not allow the attachment of the 2440-A12, 7208-XXX or 9348-XXX.

The #2621 requires one card slot.

The configurator will specify #6534 for tape devices that can be controlled by #6534. Tape devices that require two ports of attachment to the AS/400 require #2621.

The configurator will specify the minimum number of IOPs for the number of tape devices ordered. You may order additional IOPs to attach one tape device per IOP. The following table identifies the maximum number of IOPs, including those required for attaching one tape device per IOP.

(#2624) Storage Device Controller

(For IBM US, No Longer Available as of December 28, 2001)

#2624 is an IOP with the ability to control up to three internal SCSI tape devices and one diskette device (diskette requires #6146).

#2624 will be specified on 6XX models when a diskette device is ordered. #2624 will not be specified for controlling tape; however, an installed #2624 or a #2624 specified to support the addition of diskette can also be used to control supported tape devices. When tape devices are selected, the configurator will specify #6513 unless a #2624 already exists or has been specified for diskette.

See Internal Tape Unit Summary for a list of tape units supported.

The configurator will specify the minimum number of IOPs for the tape devices ordered. The following table identifies the maximum number of IOPs allowed.

(#2644) 34XX Magnetic Tape Subsystem Attachment

(For IBM US, No Longer Available as of March 31, 1999)

#2644 is an IOP that provides a S/370 Channel interface for attachment of the following devices:

The #9980 (Serpentine Cable) is required for attaching all #2644 supported devices except the 3490E-CXX. The 3490E-CXX is attached using #9980 when "external cables" were ordered on the 3490E-CXX. When "internal cables" were ordered on the 3490E-CXX the #9980 is not required. The #2644 requires one card slot.

The configurator will specify the minimum number of IOPs for the tape devices ordered. The following table identifies the maximum number of IOPs allowed.

(#6146) Diskette Adapter

(For IBM US, No Longer Available as of August 31, 1998)

#6146 is an IOA that provides for the attachment of one SCSI diskette device. #6146 requires #2624 as a prerequisite. The following diskette devices are supported:

#6146 can be added to any #2624 for the purpose of controlling an external diskette. The addition of #6146 to #2624 does not reduce the #2624s ability to control internal tape devices; however, the #2624 must be placed in the correct slot in order to control the tape devices. When #6146 and #2624 are used for controlling diskette (and no internal tape is being controlled), the #2624 can be placed in slots 3 thru 10 in expansion towers #5072 and #5073. #6146 and #2624 can not be installed in Model 640 system units.

(#6513) Internal Tape Device Controller

(For IBM US, No Longer Available as of July 31, 2001)

#6513 is an IOP that can control up to four internal SCSI tape devices. When used in the system unit on Model 650, the #6513 controls two internal tape devices. When used in expansion tower (#5070, #5071, #5072, or #5073) the #6513 controls up to four internal tape devices. #6513 requires OS/400 V3R7 (or later).

See Internal Tape Unit Summary for a list of tape units supported.

#2624 will be specified on V4R1 systems when a customer requires diskette or #1378. An installed #2624 or a #2624 specified to support the addition of #1378 or diskette will also be used to control the other supported tape devices (see description of #2624 for supported tapes). #6513 requires one card slot.

The configurator will specify the minimum number of IOPs for the tape devices on the order. The following table identifies the maximum number of IOPs allowed.

(#6532) RAID Disk Unit Controller

(For IBM US, No Longer Available as of June 30, 2000)

The #6532 is an Ultra SCSI controller with a 4MB write-cache that provides RAID-5 protection for internal disk units.

The #6532 is designed to control Ultra, Fast Wide and Fast Narrow SCSI disk units that are installed in the Storage Expansion Units (#5058) and Storage Expansion Towers (#5083). The #6532 will also control Ultra, Fast Wide and Fast Narrow SCSI disk units that are installed in the Storage Expansion Units (#5052) and Storage Expansion Towers (#5082) but due to hardware limitations those disks will be controlled at Fast Wide and Fast Narrow speeds. In addition to providing RAID-5 protection for disks, #6532 is also designed to work as a high performance controller for disks protected by system mirroring or disks with no protection. In the RAID-5 configuration, disk unit protection is provided at less cost than mirroring, and with greater performance than system checksums. #6532 offers greater performance than #6502, #6512 and #6530.

#6532 requires the V4R1 operating system. #6532 will be specified on all orders when a disk controller is required except when a #9751 is specified (See description for #9751).

When upgrading to 6XX models, you can migrate existing #6502, #6512 and #6530 disk unit controllers. System performance may vary depending on the configuration and applications. You should determine performance needs to ensure that the current controllers meet expectations.

The #6532 controller supports a maximum of 16 drives. A minimum of four drives of the same capacity are needed for a valid RAID 5 configuration. A maximum of four arrays are allowed per controller, with a maximum of 10 drives allowed per array. All drives in an array must be of the same capacity. Parity is spread across four drives for arrays of four to seven drives. Parity can be spread across either four or eight drives for arrays of eight to ten drives. For systems started with eight to ten drives in an array the parity, for that array, will be spread across eight drives. For systems that are started with less than eight drives in an array and later upgraded to eight, nine or ten drives the RAID function must be stopped and then started before the parity will be spread across eight drives.

One #5058 or #5083 is required to support disk units when using #6532. #5052 or #5082 can also be used to support disk units but Ultra SCSI disks will be limited to Fast Wide SCSI speeds.

Refer to Internal Disk Unit Summary for a list of disks that can be placed into RAID-5 arrays.

For the best performance use disks, disk controllers and storage expansion devices that are capable of Ultra SCSI performance. See Storage Expansion Units/Towers and Disk Support.

Card slots used: One.

The following table identifies the maximum number of IOPs allowed:

                      Maximum Number of #6532s(1)

(#6533) RAID Disk Unit Controller

(For IBM US, No Longer Available as of May 31, 2001)

The #6533 is an Ultra SCSI controller with a 4MB write-cache that provides RAID-5 protection for internal disk units.

The #6533 controls Ultra, Fast Wide and Fast Narrow SCSI disk units installed in the Storage Expansion Units (#5058), Storage Expansion Towers (#5083) and System Unit Expansion #5064/#9364 with Expansion Unit for SPD Cards #9331. The #6533 also controls Ultra, Fast Wide and Fast Narrow SCSI disk units installed in the Storage Expansion Units (#5052) and Storage Expansion Towers (#5082), which due to hardware limitations, those disks will be controlled at Fast Wide and Fast Narrow speeds. For the best performance use disks, disk controllers and storage expansion devices capable of Ultra SCSI performance.

In addition to providing RAID-5 protection for disks, #6533 also works as a high-performance controller for disks protected by system mirroring or disks with no protection. In the RAID-5 configuration, disk unit protection costs less than mirroring and performs better than system checksums. #6533 offers greater performance than #6502, #6512, and #6530.

#6533 supports hardware disk compression, enabled by the integration of data compression hardware directly into the data-flow of the controller. Data is compressed and decompressed without intervention from the AS/400 system processor. Disk compression on the 17.54GB disk units requires the support of OS/400 V4R4.

Capacity gains may vary as a function of the compression algorithm and the characteristics of the data. Typically two times compression can be expected, with up to four times possible. The disk capacity gains from disk compression are not included in the maximum AS/400 model disk capacity limits.

Disk compression can be used with or without BRMS Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM) as part of a total storage management strategy including high-performance disk, compressed disk, and tape automation.

Compressed disks have the same disk subsystem availability options (i.e., RAID-5, mirroring) as uncompressed disks, with no additional restrictions. Disk compression is supported only in user auxiliary storage pools (user ASPs). The user selects which disk arms to compress via a new Disk Manager screen, and disk capacity screens reflect the projected disk capacity and the percent used.

Due to the overhead of compression/decompression, and the variations in the length of data written to disk, the performance of compressed disk will in most cases be slower than uncompressed, high-performance disk drives. Access additional information at:

www.as400.ibm.com/hsmcomp

The #6533 controller supports a maximum of 16 drives. A minimum of four drives of the same capacity are needed for a valid RAID-5 configuration. A maximum of four arrays are allowed per controller, with a maximum of ten drives allowed per array. All drives in an array must be of the same capacity. Parity is spread across four drives for arrays of four to seven drives. Parity can be spread across either four or eight drives for arrays of eight to ten drives. For systems started with eight to ten drives in an array, the parity for that array will be spread across eight drives. For systems started with less than eight drives in an array (and later upgraded to eight, nine, or ten drives), the RAID function must be stopped and then started before the parity can be spread across eight drives.

OS/400 V4R2, or later, is required. #6533 will be specified on all V4R2 orders when an SPD disk controller is required. One #5058, #5083, or #9331 is required to support disk units. #5052 or #5082 can also be used to support disk units but Ultra SCSI disks will be limited to Fast Wide SCSI speeds.

SPD card slots required: One. Models: 620, 640, and 650.

(#6534) Magnetic Media Controller

(For IBM US, No Longer Available as of May 31, 2001)

#6534 is an Ultra SCSI Tape IOP that provides attachment capability for the following external tape devices. #6534 will be the default tape controller for systems with V4R1. #6534 can attach one tape drive. Tape devices that require two ports of attachment to the AS/400 require #2621.

Card slots required: One.

(#9751) MFIOP with RAID

(For IBM US, No Longer Available as of May 31, 1999)

The #9751 MFIOP contains an Ultra SCSI controller with a 4MB write- cache that provides RAID-5 protection for up to 20 internal disk units. This is the first controller for the AS/400 that allows all disk units in the system unit towers to be placed into a RAID-5 array. #9751 also controls the internal CD-ROM drive, one internal tape unit and LAN, communications and twinaxial controllers.

The #9751 is designed to control Ultra, Fast Wide and Fast Narrow SCSI disk units. In addition to providing RAID-5 protection for disks, #9751 is also designed to work as a high performance controller for disks protected by system mirroring or disks with no protection. In the RAID-5 configuration, disk unit protection is provided at less cost than mirroring, and with greater performance than system checksums.

#9751 requires the V4R1 operating system and will be specified on all new 6XX orders. #9751 is only allowed on the system unit towers.

Like the #6532, the #9751 includes a 4MB write-cache and faster microprocessor and memory for increased performance compared with the 2MB write-cache #6502 disk unit controller.

#9751 supports up to 20 internal disk units. Model 640 usage of #9751 supports disks one through 12 without prerequisites and disks 13 through 20 with #5055. Model 650 usage of #9751 supports disks one through four without prerequisites and disks five through 20 with #5057. A minimum of four drives of the same capacity are needed for a valid configuration using the RAID 5 disk unit controller. A maximum of four arrays are allowed per controller, with a maximum of 10 drives allowed per array. All drives in an array must be of the same capacity. Parity is spread across four drives for arrays of four to seven drives. Parity can be spread across either four or eight drives for arrays of eight to ten drives. For systems started with eight to ten drives in an array the parity, for that array, will be spread across eight drives. For systems that are started with less than eight drives in an array and later upgraded to eight, nine, or ten drives the RAID function must be stopped and then started before the parity will be spread across eight drives. Card slots used: Two.

Refer to Internal Disk Unit Summary for a list of supported disk units and for whether those disk units can be placed into a RAID-5 array.

See Internal Tape Unit Summary for a list of supported tape units.

See Multi-Function Controllers for a list of supported LAN, communications, and workstation IOAs.

For the best performance use disks, disk controllers, and storage expansion devices that are capable of Ultra SCSI performance. See Storage Expansion Units/Towers and Disk Support.

(#9754) Base MFIOP with RAID

(For IBM US, No Longer Available as of December 28, 2001)

The #9754 MFIOP contains an Ultra SCSI controller with a 4MB write- cache that provides RAID-5 protection for up to 20 internal disk units. This is the follow-on controller to the #9751, and, like the #9751, allows all disk units in the system unit towers to be placed into a RAID-5 array. #9754 also controls the internal CD-ROM drive, one internal tape unit, and LAN, communications, and twinaxial controllers.

#9754 is included on new orders for Models 640 and 650 with OS/400 V4R2. #9754 is also included on upgrades with OS/400 V4R2 from models other than 640 and 650. The #9754 controls Ultra, Fast Wide and Fast Narrow SCSI disk units. For the best performance use disks, disk controllers and storage expansion devices capable of Ultra SCSI performance.

In addition to providing RAID-5 protection for disks, #9754 also works as a high-performance controller for disks protected by system mirroring or disks with no protection. In the RAID-5 configuration, disk unit protection costs less than mirroring and performs better than system checksums.

#9754 supports hardware disk compression, enabled by the integration of data compression hardware directly into the data-flow of the controller. Data is compressed and decompressed without intervention from the AS/400 system processor. Disk compression on the 17.54GB disk units requires the support of OS/400 V4R4.

Capacity gains may vary as a function of the compression algorithm and the characteristics of the data. Typically two times compression can be expected, with up to four times possible. The disk capacity gains from disk compression are not included in the maximum AS/400 model disk capacity limits.

Disk compression can be used with or without BRMS Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM) as part of a total storage management strategy including high-performance disk, compressed disk, and tape automation.

Compressed disks have the same disk subsystem availability options (i.e., RAID-5, mirroring) as uncompressed disks, with no additional restrictions. Disk compression is supported only in user auxiliary storage pools (user ASPs). The user selects which disk arms to compress via a new Disk Manager screen, and disk capacity screens reflect the projected disk capacity and the percent used.

Due to the overhead of compression/decompression, and the variations in the length of data written to disk, the performance of compressed disk will in most cases be slower than uncompressed, high-performance disk drives. Access additional information at:

www.as400.ibm.com/hsmcomp

#9754 supports up to 20 internal disk units. The Model 640 usage of #9754 supports disks one through 12 without prerequisites and disks 13 through 20 with #5055. The Model 650 usage of #9754 supports disks one through four without prerequisites and disks five through 20 with #5057. A minimum of four drives of the same capacity are needed for a valid configuration using the RAID-5 disk unit controller. A maximum of four arrays are allowed per controller, with a maximum of ten drives allowed per array. All drives in an array must be of the same capacity. Parity is spread across four drives for arrays of four to seven drives. Parity can be spread across either four or eight drives for arrays of eight to ten drives. For systems started with eight to ten drives in an array, the parity for that array will be spread across eight drives. For systems that are started with less than eight drives in an array (and later upgraded to eight, nine, or ten drives), the RAID function must be stopped and then started before the parity can be spread across eight drives.

Card slots used: Two. Maximum: One. Models: 640 and 650.

The #2741 controls Ultra, Fast Wide and Fast Narrow SCSI disk and tape units installed in the base system unit and the System Unit Expansion (#5064/#9364) with PCI Integrated Expansion Unit (#9329). In addition to providing RAID-5 protection for disks, #2741 also works as a high- performance controller for disks protected by system mirroring or disks with no protection.

The #2741 controller supports a maximum of 15 drives. A minimum of four drives of the same capacity are needed for a valid RAID-5 configuration. A maximum of three arrays are allowed per controller, with a maximum of ten drives allowed per array. All drives in an array must be of the same capacity. Parity is spread across four drives for arrays of four to seven drives. Parity can be spread across either four or eight drives for arrays of eight to ten drives. For systems started with eight to ten drives in an array, the parity for that array will be spread across eight drives. For systems started with less than eight drives in an array (and later upgraded to eight, nine, or ten drives), the RAID function must be stopped and then started before the parity can be spread across eight drives.

#2741 supports hardware disk compression, enabled by the integration of data compression hardware directly into the data-flow of the controller. Data is compressed and decompressed without intervention from the AS/400 system processor. Disk compression on the 17.54GB disk units requires the support of OS/400 V4R4.

Capacity gains may vary as a function of the compression algorithm and the characteristics of the data. Typically two times compression can be expected, with up to four times possible. The disk capacity gains from disk compression are not included in the maximum AS/400 model disk capacity limits.

Disk compression can be used with or without BRMS Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM) as part of a total storage management strategy including high-performance disk, compressed disk, and tape automation.

Compressed disks have the same disk subsystem availability options (i.e., RAID-5, mirroring) as uncompressed disks, with no additional restrictions. Disk compression is supported only in user auxiliary storage pools (user ASPs). The user selects which disk arms to compress via a new Disk Manager screen, and disk capacity screens reflect the projected disk capacity and the percent used.

Due to the overhead of compression/decompression, and the variations in the length of data written to disk, the performance of compressed disk will in most cases be slower than uncompressed, high-performance disk drives. Access additional information at:
