Model Conversions

32H to 32E

Customers of the 32H will be able to convert their systems to the new 32E. IBM disk configurations supported by the 32H upon announcement will be supported by the 32E. A minimum of 16 MB of memory is a prerequisite for the 32E processor upgrade. All Micro Channel cards, external and internal devices supported by the 32H upon announcement will be supported by the 32E. System performance of the 32E relative to the new 32H will depend upon the installed disks. Customers whose converted machine contains only IBM disk configurations supported by the new 32H should not experience performance degradation. Retention in the converted machines of IBM disks not supported by the new 32H will yield a degradation in system performance relative to the new 32H, varying with the nature of customer's applications (compute intensive versus I/O intensive). This offers high a degree of flexibility in increasing the performance level of the system and helping the customers with compute intensive applications to take advantage of the performance the new processor while protecting their investment in disks. The Model Conversion MES contains at least the following items and is ordered through the configurator.

Note: Parts removed become the Property of IBM.

Note: The customer MUST order additional memory features if the system to be converted does not contain the minimum of 16 MB of memory. The existing internal disk(s) can be migrated to the new 32E.

340 to 350

Customers of the 340 will be able to convert their systems to the new 350. A minimum of 32 MB of memory is a prerequisite for the 350 processor upgrade. The Model Conversion MES contains at least the following items and is ordered through the configurator.

Note: Parts removed become the Property of IBM.

Note: The customer MUST order additional memory features if the system to be converted does not contain the minimum of 32 MB of memory.

340, 34H, 350, 360 to 370

The 340, 350, and 360 will have conversion capability to the 370 processor. The 370 requires a minimum of 32MB of memory. Memory increments are available in 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128 MB with a maximum of 256 MB. Additional memory must be purchased to meet the 32-MB minimum configuration. Model Conversions to the 370 system will also require a minimum of a 400 MB of IBM supported disk (standard disk for these model). All other currently supported Micro Channel cards, external and internal devices supported by the system will be supported after the model conversion. The Model Conversion MESs contain some or all of the following items and are ordered through the configurator.

Note: Parts removed become the property of IBM.

355 to 365 to 375 (For IBM US, No Longer Available as of October 26, 1994)

The 355 will have conversion capability to the 365 processor and both the 355 and 365 will have conversion capability to the 375 processor. The 375 requires a minimum of 32 MB of memory. Memory increments are available in 16, 32, 64, and 128 MB. Replacement memory must be purchased to meet the 32-MB minimum configuration. All other currently supported Micro Channel cards, external and internal devices supported by the system will be supported after the model conversion. The Model Conversion MESs contain some or all of the following items and are ordered through the configurator.

Note: Parts removed become the Property of IBM.

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
 2435      16-bit IBM SCSI-2 Fast/Wide Adapter/A to Dual-Ported Device
 

All Micro Channel adapters, external and internal devices currently supported by the RS/6000 Model 380/390 and announced later as supported by the RS/6000 Model 380/390 will also be supported by the newly converted 380/390. The SCSI-2 fast/wide interface does NOT support the following devices:

Note: Features displaced remain with the customer. A minimum of 32 MB of memory is required prior to the upgrade. Customers who do not meet the memory minimum 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:

Current machine configuration (product topology information) will be requested by the plant prior to scheduling the shipment of this upgrade.

380/390: Programming Requirements: AIX Version 3.2.5 for RS/6000 with additional PTFs. These PTFs are included on all 3.2.5 orders shipped after 6/10/94 (labeled AIX/6000 Version 3.2.5.1). Refer to memo to users on installing these PTFs or call the IBM support center and request the PTFs referenced in APAR number IX42623. This level of AIX/6000 be installed and operational PRIOR to beginning the upgrade. This is not included in the price of the model conversion. AIX/6000* applications written for POWER-based RS/6000s 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:

This upgrade is accomplished by transferring the customer's existing media, disks, adapters, and memory SIMMs to the new chassis. The chassis will contain the same serial number as the customer's existing machine. The new chassis will include a CD-ROM (#9218).

380/390: Ordering Information: When ordering this model conversion, you must specify the model conversion on the MES order.

380/390: Supported Features Information: All features announced as supported on the 380/390 are also available on this model conversion. The following features presently supported on the Model 340, 34H, 350, 360, and 370 will NOT be supported on the newly-converted system:

This section provides details on the contents of the G30 model conversion ship group and the additional features you will 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:

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:

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: 

 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
 2435    16-bit IBM SCSI-2 Fast/Wide Adapter/A to Dual-Ported Device
 

All Micro Channel adapters, external and internal devices currently supported by the RS/6000 Model 39H and announced later as supported by the RS/6000 Model 39H, will also be supported by the newly converted 39H.

The SCSI-2 fast/wide interface does not support the following devices: 

7206-001 External 4-mm Tape Drive
7210-001 External CD-ROM Drive
160-MB Disk Drive feature numbers 2120, 2121, 2123, 9240, 9241, and 9242.
 

There are several features on the existing 300 series models that are not supported on the Model 39H. Refer to the Feature Availability Matrix for a listing of supported and nonsupported features.

Prior to accepting the order, advise your customer of all features that will not be supported as a result of upgrading their machine. Nonsupported features remain the property of the customer and are not returned to IBM.

A minimum of 64-MB memory in pairs is required before the upgrade. Customers who do not meet the memory minimum must order additional memory features or SIMM kits. This is not included in the price of the model conversion. Memory must be installed in equal pairs. CPU memory and memory card must be of equal capacity. See Limitations section.

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.
