380/390: Descriptive/Ordering Information:
All upgrades from a Model 340, 34H, 350, 360 and 370
to a Model 380/390 will be shipped using a new "chassis
exchange" process.
The upgrade provides a model conversion for customers with
these installed systems and want the RS/6000
Model 380/390 processor capability. This field
installable model conversion will help provide increased system
performance and contribute to the protection of customers' initial
investment in the Model 300 series systems.
The resultant model conversion will
retain the serial number of the system prior to the upgrade.
Model conversion offers a high degree of flexibility in increasing
the performance level of the system and helping the customers with
computation-intensive applications to take advantage of the
performance of the new processor while protecting their investment in
disks and features.
380/390: Compatibility:
The RS/6000 Model 380/390 uses a new SCSI-2
fast/wide interface. All other external interfaces are the same as
on the Model 340, 34H, 350, 360 and 370.
The following cables will be required for externally attached devices
after the model conversion:
FEATURE DESCRIPTION
------- -----------
2439 8-bit IBM SCSI-2 Fast/Wide Adapter/A to Single Ported Device
2437 8-bit IBM SCSI-2 Fast/Wide Adapter/A to Dual-Ported Device

must order additional memory features or SIMM kits.
This is not included in the price of the model conversion.
The upgrade kit will provide a one-for-one replacement of the
customer's installed memory cards.
The existing memory SIMMs are reused on the replacement cards.
For upgraded machines, it may be necessary for 8-MB or 16-MB memory to
be replaced or for SIMM kits to be installed to meet the above
requirements.
A machine being upgraded must have a minimum of
2 GB of SCSI-2 disks installed or on order.
These can be any one or combination of the following:
FEATURE DESCRIPTION
------- -----------
2555 1-GB SCSI-2 DRIVE
2556 400-MB to 1-GB SCSI-2 DRIVE SELECT
2559 1-GB SCSI-2 DRIVE - EMEA

will run on the new POWER2*-based models without recompilation and
will run significantly faster. Additional performance can be
achieved by recompiling with the latest versions of the IBM XL
compilers to further exploit the POWER2 technology.
Applications compiled using a compiler option to exploit POWER2
technology may not function properly on systems that do not employ
the new POWER2 technology. Customers with any combination of
POWER-, POWERPC 601*-, and POWER2-based systems may continue to
run their applications unmodified. New applications and
recompilation of existing applications for use in a mixed processor
environment should be compiled using the POWER or common mode
options available in the new XL compilers or any other compilers that
support those options.
The 340, 34H, 350, 360, 370 to 380/390 upgrade
kit will contain some or all of the
following:
- Base Model 380/390 chassis and covers with the serial number of the
original machine
- New memory card(s) without SIMMs
- Maintenance documentation

need to order or have available prior to performing the upgrade.
In addition, it discusses which existing features are supported
and offers several options for using existing memory when
upgrading to the G30.
What is contained in the model conversion shipment group?
The upgrades to the Model G30 contain the following items:
- One dual (2-way) 601 75-MHz processor card
- Chassis with customer's existing Serial Number
- New Labels
- Installation instructions
- New Diagnostics
- New publications
Your existing supported disk, media devices and adapters
may be transferred to the new Model G30 system.
The replaced chassis and main circuit boards become the
property of IBM and must be returned to IBM.
Optional features of the replaced system will either be installed
in the new system or returned to you.
What additional features will I need to order?
Upgraded machines must contain the same or equivalent base features
as the Model G30 at the conclusion of the upgrade.
These items must be installed or available with the upgrade:
If additional hardware is required for the upgrade it must be
purchased with the upgrade or be available at the time of the upgrade.
It will also be necessary to perform a prerequisite analysis of all
customer machine orders prior to the upgrade being scheduled for
shipment.
Which of my existing features are supported?
Several features on the existing 300 series models are not
supported on the Model G30.
Refer to the Feature Availability Matrix
for a listing of supported and non-supported features.
Before accepting your order, IBM will advise you of all
features that will not be supported as a result of upgrading your
machine. Non-supported features remain your property and are not
returned to IBM.
Can I use my existing memory?
The existing RS/6000 uniprocessor memory cards are not
compatible with the G30 Model.
The G30 has one memory slot and requires a minimum of
32 MB of memory (or larger 64-, 128-, 256- or 512-MB memory).
Because existing 300 series server models have two memory slots
there are several options available to use existing
memory in the single memory slot available on the G30, including
exchanging two different sized uniprocessor memory cards for
a single G series memory card.
You can satisfy the G30 memory requirement by:
- Purchasing a new G series memory card
- Converting 128-MB or 256-MB uniprocessor memory
(using feature 4061 or 4062) to G series memory
- Feature 4061 uses memory SIMMs from the customer's two
128-MB memory cards to create a single 256-MB memory card.
- Feature 4062 uses memory SIMMs from the customer's two
256-MB memory cards to create a single 512-MB memory card.
- Exchanging uniprocessor memory card(s)
for G series memory card
IBM will exchange currently installed memory cards for an
equal or greater capacity G series memory card.
A list of memory exchange options appears below.

Model 39H Upgrade Descriptive/Ordering Information
All upgrades from a Model 340, 34H, 350, 360 and 370
to a Model 39H will be shipped using a new "chassis exchange" process.
All upgrades from a Model 380 and 390
to a Model 39H will be shipped using a processor upgrade.
The upgrade provides a model conversion for customers with
these installed systems and want the RS/6000
Model 39H processor capability. This field
installable model conversion will help provide increased system
performance and contribute to the protection of a customer's initial
investment in the Model 300 series systems.
The resultant model conversion will retain the serial number of the
before the upgrade.
Model conversion offers a high degree of flexibility in increasing
the performance level of the system and helping the customers, with
computation-intensive applications, to take advantage of the
performance of the new processor while protecting their investment in
disks and features.
Model Upgrade Compatibility for 39H
The RS/6000 Model 380, 390, and 39H use a SCSI-2
fast/wide interface. All other external interfaces are the same as
on the Model 340, 34H, 350, 360 and 370.
The following cables will be required for externally attached devices
after the model conversion:
