Model 40P Software
The Model 40P offers a low-priced platform for a set of AIX
Solutions. This extension of the RISC System/6000 family into the
entry technical and commercial client opportunity continues the RISC
System/6000 leadership in open systems. The Model 40P includes:
- AIX Version 4.1.1 for Clients and IBM Ultimedia Services
Version 2.1 for AIX, included with all systems
- An evaluation copy of Insignia SoftWindows** is preinstalled on
the system
- Support for remote IPL and LAN install and management
- Software backup and features delivered on two CD-ROMs in system
package
- A lightweight subset of AIX/Client preinstalled on all systems
AIX Version 4.1.1 for Clients and IBM Ultimedia Services Version 2.1
for AIX are included with each system. A selected subset of AIX
Version 4.1.1 for Clients is preinstalled on the hard disk. Insignia
SoftWindows requires an additional 50MB, but is easily removed if
desired. The optional installable items from AIX/Client and the
Ultimedia Services are included on CD-ROM disks included in the
system package.
Investment Protection: The Model 40P can grow as needs grow. The
system is designed for easy user installation of L2 cache and
additional memory, disk, tape, and network communications. New and
additional features from IBM, such as processor upgrades, will also
be designed for easy customer installation to protect the initial
investment.
L2 Cache
Performance can be enhanced by the optional IBM L2 Cache.
Modern RISC processors like the PowerPC 601 in the Model 40P process
data at a prodigious rate -- for example, the 601 processor in the
Model 40P can execute a maximum of five operations every 15
nanoseconds. A significant challenge in computer system design is to
keep the processor filled with enough new instructions and data so it
can operate at maximum capacity.
A typical technique is the use of a cache, a small amount of very
fast memory holding the next few thousand instructions and data for
the processor. Given the sequential nature of the instruction stream
of most customers' programs, very often the next instruction and data
to be processed will be found in the cache, and can be quickly
executed by the processor, without requiring the access of the slower
main memory.
Performance of many programs is dramatically improved by the
introduction of a secondary L2 cache, in addition to the on-chip 32K
L1 cache. The optional 256KB of L2 cache can be accessed by the
processor quicker than conventional memory. This provides an
additional cache for larger programs, thus increasing the probability
that the next instruction or data can be found in the cache, and
avoiding the access of main memory.
The performance benefits of the L2 cache are achieved without
modification to the application software.
Graphics Adapters
The Model 40P uses PCI-based graphics adapters and offers high
performance for graphics-intensive applications. The adapter choices
depend on the price/performance the user requirements. The adapters
are:
- IBM S15 Graphics Adapter
A high-performance, VRAM-based PCI graphics adapter with
integrated video coprocessor for use as a premium graphics
solution for PowerPC Reference Platform systems. The IBM S15
Graphics Adapter comes in a 2MB fixed version.
- IBM E15 Graphics Adapter
A low-cost, medium-performance, DRAM-based graphics adapter for
use as an entry graphics solution for PowerPC Reference Platform
systems using a PCI system bus. The adapter uses the 64-bit S3
Vision864 graphical user interface (GUI) accelerator, and the
- 16-bit 135MHz S3 SDAC. The IBM E15 Graphics Adapter comes
standard with a 2MB frame buffer, providing for up to 1600 x 1200
resolution.
PRODUCT POSITIONING
The announcement of the IBM RISC System/6000 Model 40P entry
workstation provides a new, low-price point for the RISC System/6000
workstation product line. The 40P balances new features with proven
RS/6000 performance and reliability. The 40P was developed with
superior expansion, delivering a system flexible enough for customers
in a range of commercial and technical applications.
The 40P complements the current RS/6000 workstations by providing AIX

- 16MB to 192MB memory
- Up to 4GB internal storage
- Ethernet, token-ring or X.25 LAN adapters
Customers' investment is further protected by an upgrade in system
performance through the optional IBM L2 cache and in the future, a
PowerPC 604 upgrade.
The RS/6000 Model 40P entry workstation provides a glimpse into the
future with its PowerPC Reference Platform architecture that allows
other system providers to develop open and compatible systems based
on the PowerPC Architecture(TM). IBM RS/6000 workstations will
continue to provide industry leading system and graphics performance
to a wide range of technical and commercial customers with POWER and
PowerPC microprocessors and IBM graphics technology.

mechanical keylock is provided to secure the cover only.
- The external SCSI port cannot be disabled for C2 security
compliance.
Ports:
- Serial ports use the compact 9-pin format in place of the 25-pin
format.
- Tablet connections must be made via serial ports.
Diagnostics:
- On-screen diagnostics provide less cryptic messages than LEDs.
- There are no LEDs for failure information or error code readout.
- Diagnostics diskettes are provided with the system unit.
Diagnostics cannot be run from the hard disk drive or while the
normal operating system is running.
Data Protection and Reliability:
- Parity memory provides data protection. Previously announced
RS/6000 models used Error Checking and Correction (ECC) memory.
- A UPS or surge protector can increase data reliability if a power
outage occurs. The Emergency Power Off Warning signal (EPOW),
which alerts the operating system to power failures, is not
provided.
Planning Information
Customer Responsibilities: The Model 40P is designated as a unit for
customer setup. Customer setup, service, and programming
publications are available. Customer setup allowance is one day. By
following the setup instructions, the user attaches the keyboard and
peripherals and turns the AC power on to the power supply. The
preinstalled operating system will be loaded and operational. If the
operating system does not come up, system documentation steps the
user through start-up procedures.
Cable Orders: A power cord is provided in the shipment group.
Installability: The Model 40P system requires under an hour for
installation. Installation includes unpacking, setting up, and
powering on system. Additional time is required to install other
memory, other features, and additional software products.
Problem Determination: The Customer Problem Analysis and Resolution
(CPAR) guides contain self-test and diagnostic procedures, which
assist the customer in isolating a defective machine element. During
the warranty period, the failing element will be replaced on-site.
An IBM Service Agreement is recommended outside the warranty period.

Security, Auditability, and Control
The following security features help protect the computer, the
hardware inside, and the information stored on the hard disk:
- Cover lock and keys:
Provide mechanical protection against unauthorized access to the
inside of the computer.
- Tie-down feature:
Provides the capability to secure the computer to a stationary
object.
- Power-on Password:
Helps prevent unauthorized use of the computer.
- Supervisory password:
Prevents the unauthorized changing of the startup-device sequence
and other system configuration information, as well as the
unauthorized use of system utility programs. When set, the
supervisory password overrides the power-on password.
The AIX Version 4.1.1 operating system provides a system-lockup
capability as an additional security measure. Check the operating
system documentation for details.
