The 7013 RS/6000* 500 and J series models are powerful deskside
computing systems based on IBM's Performance Optimization With Enhanced
RISC* (POWER*) or PowerPC* architecture. All models are compatible with
the family of RS/6000* systems and AIX/6000* for RS/6000* operating
system.
The 7013 RS/6000* Model 560 is a powerful system combining high
function, expansion capabilities, and outstanding price-performance.
The Model 560 CPU contains an 8KB 2-way set-associative instruction
cache and a 32KB 4-way set-associative data cache. It also supports
separate 64-bit memory to data cache, 32-bit fixed-point to data cache
and 64-bit floating point to data cache buses for fast data transfer
between the CPU and memory for a balanced system performance. The CPU
can execute concurrent fixed and floating point instructions with the
ability to have zero cycle branches.
The 7013 RS/6000* 560 features a 50MHz processor. Standard memory is
64MB. However, the Model 560 systems may be configured with up to eight
128MB memory cards for a total of 1GB of system memory.
The 7013 Model 560 CPU contains an 8KB 2-way set-associative
instruction cache and a 64KB 4-way set-associative data cache. It also
supports separate 128-bit memory to data cache, 32-bit fixed-point to
data cache and 64-bit floating-point to data cache buses for fast data
transfer between the CPU and memory for balanced system performance. The
CPU can execute concurrent fixed and floating-point instructions and have
zero cycle branches.
To satisfy customer requirements for both growth and higher capacity
media needs, the following expansion capabilities are offered:
- There are three internal 5.25-inch SCSI Disk drive bays. One is
occupied by the standard 5.25-inch SCSI Disk drive or 3.5-inch Disk
drives. Up to two additional 5.25-inch SCSI Disk drives and one 3.5-inch
Disk drive (on the 520H and 530H) may be added for a maximum of three
5.25-inch SCSI Disk drives or two 5.25-inch disk drives and two 3.5-inch
Disk drives. Or;
- As an option, up to six 3.5-inch SCSI Disk drives may be installed.
The 3.5-inch SCSI Disk drives and 5.25-inch SCSI Disk drives may be mixed
in a system. Each pair of 3.5-inch SCSI Disk drives occupies the same
physical space as a single 5.25-inch SCSI Disk drive.
When ordering the first 3.5-inch disk drive for an empty disk drive
bay the customer must also specify the 3.5-inch disk mounting hardware
feature (#6501).
- Three half-high media bays located above the system diskette drive
provide the mounting location for additional removable media devices.
The optional removable media devices available are:
- Internal CD-ROM Drive (Half-high device)
- 2.3GB Internal 8mm Tape Drive (Full high device)
- 5.0GB Internal 8mm Tape Drive (Half high device)
Note: The full high media device occupies two media bays. Only one full
high media device may be installed in the removable media bays.
- For additional disk and/or media, reference the "Supported I/O
Devices" section.
The operator interface/controls are located on the front panel and
consist of a power ON/OFF switch with a POWER GOOD indicator, three
7-segment LEDs used for diagnostic feedback, a RESET pushbutton, and a
three position key operated MODE switch.
Physical security is provided by a rear mounted lock which helps
prevent cover removal when locked.

RS/6000 System Rack:
Attachment of the 7015-R00 rack is supported for mounting rack drawers
that are supported by this system. The R00 System Rack provides mounting
space and power for those drawers. The 1.6 meter rack meets the
requirements of the Electronics Industries Standards (EIA) EIA-310C
standard. An EIA is a unit measure of vertical mounting space that
equals 44.45 mm (1.75 inches). The R00 System Rack has 32 EIA units of
vertical mounting space. Each drawer installed in the R00 rack requires
a placement code to designate assignment to a particular rack.
This machine is rack mounted.

Feature Descriptions
The following is a list of all feature codes in numeric order for the
IBM RS/6000 7013 machine type.
Attributes, as defined in the following feature descriptions, state
the interaction of requirements among features.
Minimums and maximums are the absolute limits for a single feature
without regard to interaction with other features. The maximum valid
quantity for MES orders may be different than for initial orders. The
maximums listed below refer to the largest quantity of these two
possibilities.
The order type defines if a feature is orderable only on initial
orders, only on MES orders, on both initial and MES orders, or if a
feature is supported on a model due to a model conversion. Supported
features cannot be ordered on the converted model, only left on or
removed from the converted model.

services that address both adapter-to-system and adapter-to-adapter data
transfers under Direct Memory Access (DMA) control. The adapter utilizes
the multi-master capability of the Micro Channel* bus architecture by
taking control of the system unit bus and communicating directly with
system memory or with other I/O adapters without interrupting the system
unit processor.
Throughput speeds varies depending upon the number of ports operating
concurrently and the software application. With the selection of the
appropriate Interface Board, full-duplex rates of up to 64 Kbps running
simultaneously on each of eight ports or up to 2.048 Mbps for a single
port can be achieved with the IBM Realtime Interface Co-Processor
Portmaster Adapter/A. High-speed data rates for multiple ports rely on
the use of DMA; two channels are provided for each port. All ports can
be programmed for asynchronous, bit synchronous, or character synchronous
protocols, using either DMA or interrupt mode.
Timer support is also provided. There may be up to 255 software
timers set with increments ranging from 5 milliseconds to 327 seconds. A
watchdog timer is also provided.
Additional software is required to program the adapter, and must be
ordered separately. Software support can be provided by IBM Realtime
Interface Co-Processor AIX Support for RS/6000* (5696-038).
Cables for connection of I/O devices are also required, and are the
responsibility of the customer.

ARTIC960 Coprocessor
The ARTIC960 coprocessor is a high-speed, high through-put
co-processor adapter with multiple memory options designed to operate in
32-bit Micro Channel* bus compatible systems. The ARTIC960 coprocessor
relieves the host from compute-intensive tasks associated with I/O
communication applications and protocols. It also provides bus-mastering
capabilities for peer to peer transfers across the Micro Channel bus.
The ARTIC960 coprocessor's wide bandwidth provides co-processor
performance at least 4-6 times that of previously released IBM ARTIC co-
processors.
A high-speed, 4-Port multi-interface AIB offers either
EIA-232D (asynchronous) or EIA-530 (RS422) or ISO 4903 (X.21) or ISO 4902
(V.36) electrical interfaces for communications applications. The
selection of the specific interface is achieved by a matching cable (4
ports of 232 or 4 ports of 422 or 4 ports of X.21 or 4 ports of V.36).
The AIB will operate all four ports at up to 2.048 megabits per second
full duplex.
The ARTIC960 coprocessor and AIB together comprise a feature. There
are three features available depending upon memory option (1MB, 4MB, or
8MB). The ARTIC960 coprocessor is designed to operate in any full-slot
32-bit Micro Channel bus system adhering to the IBM Micro Channel
architectural guidelines such as the PS/2 computer, RS/6000 computer and
the IBM Industrial Computers. The ARTIC960 realtime kernel and on-card
operating system and AIX/6000 Version 3.2.5 Operating System development
driver are included with the purchase of the adapter.
The application development driver is intended to provide a level of
interface to the adapter for those developing applications using the
ARTIC960 and is not a full function driver. The application development
driver is contained in the diagnostic diskette.
A developer's kit is offered that provides AIB design information,
sample programs, a programmer's guide/reference, and a hardware technical
reference manual. As part of the developer's kit, a Developer's
Assistance Program (DAP) is provided for parties who will be developing
their own software applications and/or designing their own application
interface board. The ARTIC960 DAP is administered by IBM in Boca Raton,
Florida.
It can be reached by telephone at 1-800-3333 ext. ARTIC960.
The DAP, through telephone and E-mail, will provide technical help for
software development or additional AIB designs.
The ARTIC960 coprocessor is ideally suited for:
- Departments that require high-speed connections from Server to Host
(switched or leased)
- Telephone applications with V.36/V.24 for higher speed connections to
2MB
- LAN interconnect via leased lines (64 Kb - 2Mb)
The IBM ARTIC960 coprocessor is a family of high performance WAN
communications adapters with a base card with 3 memory options and
daughter cards with different interfaces and cables. Each IBM ARTIC960
coprocessor occupies one Micro Channel slot.
INCREASED PROCESSOR PERFORMANCE and COMMUNICATION SPEEDS
The ARTIC960 coprocessor provides a 4-6 times increase in data
throughput across the Micro Channel bus when compared to the existing
family of IBM ARTIC co-processors. The 4-Port multi-interface
Application Interface Board handles four lines of communications data at
2.048 megabits per second.
Prerequisites: None.
Co-requisites: None.
Compatibility Conflicts: None.
Customer Set-up: Yes.
Field Installable: Yes.
Cable Order:
IBM recommends that one of the following cables be ordered with the
4-Port AIB. The cable choice determines the AIB's electrical interface.
Other interface cables can be ordered at published prices. Each cable
set is 1.8 meters in length and has four connectors in a fanout fashion
terminating in a 100-pin connector that plugs into the AIB.

optical cabling designed for a line speed of up to 100 Megabits/sec.
FDDI is designed to support the TCP/IP protocol, and supports NFS over
TCP/IP. The FDDI implementation supports ANSI standard X3T9.5, with the
exception that Station Management (SMT) function is limited to Agent
support only. A programming interface (API) is provided for the device
driver.
Fiber optic cable is designed to be immune to electromagnetic
interference (EMI). Therefore, using fiber technology may prevent
jamming by high power emissions. Additionally, fiber optics do not emit
electromagnetic radiation (EMR). This feature enhances security, since
it helps prevent eavesdropping.
The RS/6000* Fiber Distributed Data Interface Single Ring Adapter
provides a single attach station (SAS) option and attaches to the FDDI
Network's primary ring directly or via an external FDDI Concentrator.
Connection via an external FDDI Concentrator isolates the workstations
from the primary ring and protects the network from routine station
on/off cycles and individual station failures.
Each FDDI adapter requires one Micro Channel* card slot. A maximum of
six #2720 adapters per system is supported (A maximum of six Micro
Channel card slots may be used for #2720 and #2722 adapters, in any
combination). The FDDI card requires Multi-Mode (62.5/125 Micron) FDDI
optical fiber jumper cables. The FDDI jumper cables are available in
five standard lengths of 4 meter (12 feet), 7 meter (20 feet), 15 meter
(50 feet), 31 meter ( 100 feet) and 61 meter (200 feet) or custom lengths

Note: The 24-bit POWER Gt4i graphics adapter (feature #2713) and the
8-bit and 24-bit POWER Gt4xi graphics adapters (features #2711 and 2712,
described below) have been announced in September 1993 and replaces the
POWER Gt4 and POWER Gt4x (feature #2796, 2790 and 2791). The enhanced
adapters primarily improve the 3D performance of the original adapters.
To obtain these improvements, additional supporting software (shipped
with the adapters) must be installed against the AIX/6000 Version 3.2
operating system. In addition, customers need to install the latest PMP
available for the AIX/6000 operating system. For the graPHIGS API, GPC
Picture Level Benchmark (PLB) results for the PLBsurf93 show significant
performance improvements. Based on these results, it is expected that 3D
applications see performance improvements, but the amount of improvement
varies for each application. Since the functionality of the new adapters
is the same as the original adapters, applications which run on the
original adapters require no modifications to run on the performance-
enhanced versions.

(#6599) Optional Keyboard Cable with Speaker
(For IBM US, No Longer Available as of March 19, 1999)
- Attributes provided:
The Optional Keyboard Cable with Speaker (#6599) is being made
available for those systems that require an external source for audible
system queues. The Optional Keyboard Cable with Speaker is designed to
be placed in-line with the Quiet Touch Keyboard -- it attaches to the
system and the Quiet Touch Keyboard then plugs into the speaker assembly.
The Optional Keyboard Cable with Speaker is one meter long and has a
small speaker box at the end of the cable unit. This feature is
available on systems (Micro Channel systems) that depended on an external
speaker source in their keyboard. Purchase is recommended with the Quiet
Touch Keyboards for those systems needing an external audible queue (see
the list of systems supporting #6599). The Quiet Touch Keyboard will
work with or without the Optional Keyboard Cable with Speaker, but only
when #6599 is connected will a system audible queue be provided.

High Speed Channel (HIPPI) RPQ
The High-Performance Parallel Interface (HIPPI) Channel enables the
RS/6000* to participate in the Supercomputing environment by enabling
high-speed connectivity to vendor Supercomputers, other IBM RS/6000s,
HIPPI fiber optic extenders, HIPPI switches and disk arrays. The
RS/6000* HIPPI channel complies fully with ANSI X3.183-1991 Standard
(HIPPI-PH layer) along with the FP, LE, and SC layers currently in ANSI
Draft Standard.
The HIPPI Channel (Micro Channel* adapter card) provides an efficient
simplex/duplex point-to-point HIPPI interface achieving peak rates of 800
Mbits (in each direction) over a distance of up to 25 meters via copper
cabling. This link distance can be extended using switches made by
Network Systems Corporation, or a functional equivalent, and fiber optic
extenders made by Broadband Communications Products, or a functional
equivalent.
Micro Channel* features for this adapter include:
- First party bus master for DMA
- 64 bit wide data streaming (80MB/s on Micro Channels supporting it)
- Support for address and data parity
- Consists of three type 5 Micro Channel* cards.
The adapter card set occupies three adjacent Micro Channel* slots,
however due to power constraints, the adapter set must be considered to
occupy five Micro Channel* slots. One adapter card set may be installed
per Micro Channel* bus, for example, on systems supporting dual Micro
Channels, one HIPPI adapter may reside on each bus.
When used with the associated PRPQ device drivers, you can use the
adapter for either communications or storage channel applications. The
adapter and associated AIX version 3 device drivers support these HIPPI
upper level protocols:
- IPI-3 master mode (1st and 3rd party IPI-3 transfers)
- IPI-3 slave mode (1st and 3rd party IPI-3 transfers)
- TCP/UDP/IP protocols and BSD socket interface
Refer to PRPQ P91108 for further details on the HIPPI device driver
group. The HIPPI RPQ number is 8A0587. It can be installed on Model
560.
