IBM RISC SYSTEM/6000 MODEL 39H

IBM RISC System/6000 Model 39H

February 7, 1995
Announcement Number: 195-025

Abstract

The RISC System/6000(R) Model 39H extends the performance range of the RISC System/6000 300 series desktop systems.

The RISC System/6000 Model 39H is a multiuser, multitasking numeric-intensive computing system that offers:

A 67MHz POWER2* processor
64MB to 512MB of memory
2GB to 13.5GB of internal disk
Four Micro Channel(R) slots
32KB instruction cache
128KB data cache
Four word memory bus

Outstanding floating-point levels exceed the performance of previously announced 300 series models. The new model is a natural for numeric-intensive computer servers, technical servers and graphic simulation because it offers a four word memory subsystem. This memory bus is two times the width of the Model 390 and provides the capability of moving larger blocks of data, which is required for technical applications, through the processor complex. These enhancements in the Model 39H result in a significant improvement over the Model 390 in technical performance. The Model 39H establishes a new standard in performance for IBM's high-end desktop systems.

As with the Models 380 and 390, the Model 39H offers a CD-ROM-2 drive, a 1.44MB diskette drive, and one available 5.25-inch half-high media bay. The Model 39H standard features include an 80MB/sec Micro Channel with four expansion slots, one dual-ported integrated SCSI-2 fast/wide controller (one port for internal and one for external devices) and an integrated Ethernet interface to provide additional capabilities.

The wide variety of input/output devices and communication features offer customers powerful servers, which are configured to meet their needs.

Also available is an increase to the internal storage capacity of the 7012 Model 380 and 390. With the use of a disk drive mounting kit to install a third internal disk in the available media bay, storage for the Model 380 and 390 is increased up to 13.5MB.

Purchase Price: $30,900 (Model 39H)

Planned Availability Date:

February 17, 1995, for Model 39H
March 7, 1995, for MES and Model Conversion

DESCRIPTION

Performance and Expandability

The Model 39H contains a 67MHz processor capable of higher levels of performance and expandability than previously available RISC System/6000 series systems.

The Model 39H is designed to grow with the customer's needs. The standard memory of 64MB on these models can be increased to 512MB, using 256MB CPU memory and one 256MB memory card. In addition, the optional L2 Cache provides additional performance. A 2GB, SCSI-2 8-bit internal disk drive is standard (two 1GB, 3.5-inch disk drives or one 2GB, 3.5-inch disk drive). Up to three disk drives may be installed internally for a total internal capacity of 13.5GB.

The Model 39H also contains an integrated SCSI-2 dual-ported fast/wide controller and one integrated Ethernet interface as standard features. These features are integrated into the I/O board and do not occupy any of the four Micro Channel expansion slots, which are available for additional features such as SCSI controllers, communication adapters, and graphics adapters. In addition, media devices such as CD-ROM-2, tape backup units, and disk drives may be installed in the two 5.25-inch, half-high media bays. The standard CD-ROM-2 drive occupies one of the media bays.

Customers can select from the standard 8-bit disk drive to 16-bit SCSI-2 fast/wide drive and from CD-ROM to tape.

Level 2 (L2) Cache

The optional L2 cache, in addition to the already resident L1 cache, provides significant performance improvements to many applications. L2 cache, being much larger than the L1 cache, accommodates large programs and increases the probability that the next instruction or data can be found in the cache, avoiding the access of main memory. The L2 cache, with the L1 cache and main memory, provides a three-level hierarchy of memory, which provides the best balance of cost and performance efficiency for most commercial and technical customers.

Standard Features

64MB of memory (32MB CPU memory;
32MB memory card)
32KB 2-way set associative instruction cache

GB is 1,073,741,824 bytes (two to the thirtieth power) when referring to memory; in all other cases it is 1,000,000,000 (ten to the ninth power).

Interoperability

The Model 39H and the AIX(R) for RISC System/6000 operating system offer interoperability with other IBM and other vendor's systems, protecting the customer's data processing investment.

The Model 39H is binary compatible with previously announced RISC System/6000 systems to help to protect the customer's investment in software and hardware.

A system installation and management facility is provided as part of the operating system. The System Management Interface Tool (SMIT) facilitates the performance of system management tasks, such as software installation and configuration, device configuration and management, problem determination, and storage management.

The IBM RISC System/6000 system supports Code Page 850. The Code Page 850 cartridge must be installed on the IBM 5202 printer to fully use the full characters sets of the system. For details on available cartridges, refer to the IBM 5202 Sales Manual. Other IBM printers have Code Page 850 resident.
Impactwriter A models emulate the IBM 4202-3 printer for traditional line printing of simple text and numbers. Graphics, all points addressable, and large characters cannot be printed.
For assistance with these printers and for the latest AIX virtual printer files (colon files), call Lexmark Customer Support. Virtual printer files (colon files) for the 4037 and 4076 printers are available from Lexmark. Colon files for these printers are distributed via:
- Lexmark Customer support line: 606-232-3000
- Dial-in BBS: 606-232-5238
- VM request machine DRIVERS at LEXCJN1 (for IBM customers and IBM representatives)
- Lexmark Internet file server: ftp.lexmark.com
- Reader response card for the 4037 and 4076
Use the virtual printer files available from Lexmark for the PCL emulation mode of the 4076 printer. For PPDS (IBM ASCII), select emulation of the 2390 Personal Printer.
AIX support software for the LaserPrinter Integrated Network Option has the Network Option cards (features numbers 5495, 5496, and 5497 on the IBM 4039 LaserPrinter.)
AIX support software for the HP JetDirect Ethernet Card.

Note: For optimum system performance, high-speed serial printers should be attached to the native ports or the 128-Port Async Controller.

The parallel printer port is provided for the convenience character printer. High-speed printers or applications requiring a large amount of data transfer per page (for example, high density graphics) should use the serial interface for optimum system performance.

PRODUCT POSITIONING

The RISC System/6000 Model 39H is the highest performance desktop server offered by IBM. It features an implementation of the POWER2 Architecture(TM), which is the industry's most advanced generation of super scalar design. The differences in performance between a RISC System/6000 Model 39H and the Model 390 are very significant in the support of applications that require numeric-intensive computing. The wider path to memory and higher capacity for L2 cache available on the 39H provides additional performance for applications, which have found those factors to limit performance. The primary focus of the 39H as a product is to meet the requirements of the desktop technical server marketplace and those users who do not have the memory, storage, or I/O requirements that can only be fulfilled in a larger, deskside model.

Hardware Requirements: IBM supported ASCII terminal or IBM supported display, display adapter, and keyboard.

Software Requirements: AIX/6000 applications written for POWER-based RISC System/6000 models will run on the new POWER2-based models without recompilation, and will run significantly faster. Additional performance improvements 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 that exploits POWER2 technology may not function properly on systems that do not use the new POWER2 technology. Customers with any combination of POWER-, PowerPC(TM) 601(TM)- 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 XL compilers or any other compilers that support those options. Refer to Software Announcements 293-488 and 293-493, dated September 21, 1993, for more information.

Concurrent diagnostics for AIX Version 3.2.5 will be shipped with Version 3.2.5 Enhancement 5 and will be available on March 31, 1995.

Customers with machines shipped between February 17, 1995, and March 31, 1995, must order the service APAR (IX48611) for concurrent diagnostics.

Model Conversions: Model conversions will be available to upgrade the Models 340, 34H, 350, 360, 370, 380, and 390 as follows:

From To

340 39H 34H 39H 350 39H 360 39H 370 39H 380 39H 390 39H

Model 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 RISC System/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 system 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: The RISC System/6000 Models 380, 390, and 39H use a SCSI-2 fast/wide interface. All other external interfaces are the same as on the Models 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

All other previously announced features, if installed on the Models 340, 34H, 350, 360, or 370 may be included in the upgrade to the Model 39H. However, after the upgrade, only those features that can be ordered on the 39H will be available except for feature numbers 6401, 6402, 9115, 9116, 9117, and 9118, which can be ordered if feature number 6400 is already installed on the previous 300 series model.

Model Upgrade Hardware Prerequisites

Models 340, 34H, 350, 360, 370, 380, and 390
Minimum of 32MB memory
Minimum of 2GB, SCSI-2 disk installed

To achieve the improved performance of the SCSI-2 fast/wide disk drives, they should not be mixed with SCSI-2 drives.

Model Upgrade Warranty Period: The warranty for the original machine (Models 340, 34H, 350, 360, 370, 380, and 390) controls the warranty period of the converted machine (Model 39H) so that any time remaining from the original one-year warranty on the Model 300 is applied to the Model 39H conversion.

Replacement parts assume the remaining warranty of the parts they replaced. Additional new parts, if any, have a one-year warranty.

Limitations: Models 380, 390, and 39H use an integrated SCSI-2 fast/wide interface. All other external interfaces are the same as on the Models 340, 34H, 350, 360, and 370.

"Target mode" is not supported by the integrated SCSI-2 fast/wide interface.
The SCSI-2 integrated Fast/Wide interface does not support the following devices:
- 7206-001 External 4 mm Tape Drive
- 7210-001 External CD-ROM Drive
- 160MB Disk Drive feature numbers 2120, 2121, 2123, 9240, 9241, and 9242
- 200MB Disk Drive feature numbers 2490, 2491, 2492, 2495, and
- 2496

Cables used for attaching existing SCSI devices are not compatible with the new SCSI-2 integrated interface. The following cables are required with the integrated SCSI-2 fast/wide interface:

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

Memory must be installed in pairs. CPU memory and memory card must be of equal capacity.

Because the Model 39H is a POWER2 model with a multichip ceramic module (MCM), the memory must be installed in pairs. This is unlike any other 300 series model.

Because of space limitations caused by the regulator card and a large MCM on the new processor card, there is only one memory card slot.

Provision has been made to add memory SIMMs on the processor card. The memory MB on the processor card must equal the memory MB on the memory card. There are 8 SIMM positions on both cards.

The standard 64MB memory is composed of a 32MB Processor Card SIMM Memory and a 32MB Memory Card. It can be increased to 512MB by using 256MB Processor Card SIMM Memory and a 256MB Memory Card.

A number of new feature codes have been created to handle memory granularity.

The only way to increase (upgrade) the system memory will be to remove the installed SIMMs and replace them with SIMMs of a greater capacity.

Concurrent diagnostics for AIX Version 3.2.5 will be shipped with the Version 3.2.5 Enhancement 5 and will be available on March 31, 1995. Customers with machines shipped between February 17, 1995, and March 31, 1995, must order the service APAR (IX48613) for concurrent diagnostics.

Machines, which use the Media Bay Disk Drive Mounting kit (for installing 3.5-inch disk drives in the available 5.25-inch media bay) will support any valid 1GB, 1.1GB, 2GB, 2.2GB, or 4.5GB disk drive. This feature is automatically configured when required with an associated disk drive. It is not available as an independently ordered feature. The maximum number of disk drives supported in the media bay is one.

L2 Cache Memory (4045 and 4046) must be installed in pairs.
