    Title

    IBM RISC System/6000 POWERstation/POWERserver 220

    Abstract

    The IBM RISC System/6000(TM) POWERstation/POWERserver 220 is designed to be an entry desktop workstation or server and is binary compatible with the IBM RISC System/6000 POWERstation/POWERserver family of systems. The POWERstation/POWERserver 220 features a POWER* Single Chip processor. Configurations without a disk or with 160 MB Disk Drives are available for LAN-dependent environments.

    The POWERstation/POWERserver 220 has integrated SCSI and Ethernet controllers. It has extensive growth capability with up to 64 MB of error checking and correction (ECC) memory, internal fixed disk of up to 400 MB, up to a maximum of seven SCSI devices (including an optional internal fixed disk drive) on the SCSI bus, an optional 2.88 MB diskette drive, a POWER Gt1 graphics adapter slot, and two 32-bit Micro Channel(TM) card slots for optional features.

    The models 22W and 22G are designed to meet customer needs for low-priced, special-purpose, "preconfigured" models without limiting customers' ability to add to the configuration to satisfy their unique requirements.

    The POWER Gt1, an entry mono (1-bit per pixel) graphics adapter is also announced. This adapter supports both 1280 x 1024 and 1024 x 768 displays. VRAM options allow the POWER Gt1 to be configured as 4-bit or 8-bit frame buffers (for grayscale and colour).

    Business Solutions

    The POWERstation/POWERserver 200 series supports customers' business objectives by providing a low-priced, high-performance, single-chip processor desktop workstation/server solution for compute-intensive technical applications or multi-user commercial server applications. Memory capacity of up to 64 MB and internal fixed disk capacity of up to 400 MB, coupled with a variety of input/output devices, graphics, and communications features, are available to configure the system as a powerful, low-priced, entry POWERstation or POWERserver for a wide range of business solutions.

    The POWERstation/POWERserver 200 series desktop workstations utilize IBM's POWER Architecture and are binary compatible with the AIX/6000 3.2 operating system, application portability, and high throughput levels. The POWERstation/POWERserver 220, with AIX/6000 3.2, conforms to many industry standards in the open system environment -- a key factor to enable customers to develop and port applications.

    Base Model Configuration

    POWERstation/POWERserver 220

    The entry POWERstation/POWERserver can function without a fixed disk in a LAN environment or, with a fixed disk and diskette drive added, in a standalone environment. Customers can upgrade memory and add features to enhance the system.

    Standard features for the POWERstation/POWERserver 220 are:

    The integrated ethernet controller will attach to Thick Ethernet, for connection to twisted pair the Ethernet 10BaseT transceiver (#4244) is required, for connection to thin Ethernet the 10Base2 transceiver (#4223) is required.

    The Ethernet 10BaseT Transceiver (twisted pair) (#4224) provides the complete Attachment Unit Interface (AUI) to a twisted pair LAN connection. It is connected to a 15-pin DIX Ethernet connection via a transceiver (AUI) cable and converts the signal to 10BaseT. The medium connection is made through an RJ-45 receptacle.

    Features include:

    The Ethernet 10Base2 Transceiver (thin cable, #4223) is compatible with Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 transceiver specifications and 10 Mbps Ethernet CSMA/CD operation, to provide a connection to thin Ethernet coaxial cable (10Base2). It is connected to a 15-pin DIX Ethernet connection via a transceiver (AUI) cable and converts the signal to 10Base2. The medium connection is made through a BNC coaxial connector.

    Specify POWERstation 22W to order the workstation. The standard features for the POWERstation 22W are the same as the POWERstation/POWERserver 220 with the following additional features:

    __________

    Note: The 160 MB fixed disk is for use in LAN environments, where the disk is used for paging, the 400 MB fixed disk is recommended for standalone environments.

    Note: A diskette drive is required in a standalone environment for diagnostic purposes. In LAN environments one of the systems on the LAN must have a diskette drive.

    Note: The POWER Gt1 is a low-priced 1-bit graphics frame buffer that attaches directly to the local processor I/O bus. It supports resolutions of 1280 x 1024 or 1024 x 768 and does not require a Micro Channel slot.

    Characteristics:

    Performance:

    The performance values shown below were measured at the adapter hardware interface and do not include software overhead. The measurements were taken using the following test definition - 10 pixel randomly oriented vectors in screen co-ordinates written directly to the hardware interface.

     
       2D Vectors - 200,000 vectors/second
    

    The POWER Gt1 is standard in the POWERstation 22W.

    The POWER Gt1 VRAM Upgrade is an optional feature that is installed on a POWER Gt1. This upgrade is factory- or field-installable. Up to two upgrades can be installed on a POWER Gt1. The POWER Gt1 is upgraded to a 4-bit graphics (16 gray shades or colours) frame buffer with the installation of a single VRAM Upgrade. The POWER Gt1 is upgraded to an 8-bit graphics (256 colours) frame buffer when a second VRAM Upgrade is installed.

    POWERstation 22G Entry Graphics Workstation

    This model is intended for customers using graphics applications such as CADAM or Entry Circuit Design.

    To order a system suitable for the graphics user, specify POWERstation 22G.

    Standard features for the POWERstation 22G are the same as the POWERstation/POWERserver 220 with the following additional features:

    Note: The POWER Gt3 adapter supports 256 colours and is rated at 600,000 2-D vectors per second, supporting Personal graPHIGS(TM) and OSF/Motif* interfaces (see IBM Announcement Letter ZG91-0244).

    Investment Protection

    The POWERstation/POWERserver 200 series supports AIXwindows(TM) Environment/6000, which is based on the MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) Xwindows, and includes a graphical user interface based on OSF/Motif(1). Through the use of Industry Standard OSF/Motif, savings may be realized in end user training and application development. Additionally, savings in hardware may be realized through the use of LAN-attached X-stations, to reduce per seat cost.

    The POWERstation/POWERserver 200 series, with AIX/6000 3.2, offers interoperability with other IBM and other vendor host systems, helping to protect the customer's principal investment.
