Components and Configuration
Following is a description of the components and configuration
possibilities for 7248 RS/6000 43P Series
Required Components: The initial order must contain the
following selected from the available options. Based on the operating
system selected, there may be certain recommendations and restrictions.
Refer to the Operating Environment section for more detail.
- Memory
- Keyboard
- Disk Drive
- Country Pack (line cord)
- Language Pack (Publications)
Orders may not contain more components then will fit into five slots
and five bays. The five slots are 3 ISA, 2PCI or ISA (Shared).
Memory:
- 4MB (70 ns) parity memory SIMM
- 8MB (70 ns) parity memory SIMM
- 16MB (70 ns) parity memory SIMM
- 32MB (70 ns) parity memory SIMM
7248 RS/6000 43P Series can have memory configured up to 192 MB
maximum with a minimum requirement of 16MB (parity). There are six
memory SIMM connectors on the system board and memory SIMMs are required
to be installed in pairs (there must be a minimum of 16 MB; two 8 MB
memory SIMMs).
Six memory SIMM connectors provide for an economical memory buildup
for most users. If future expansion of memory is projected, the
purchaser must balance cost/availability of memory SIMMs with
potential/total system memory requirements (Example: Today, installing
four 8 MB memory SIMMs might be less expensive than one 32 MB memory SIMM
but there would only be two connectors remaining for future memory
expansion, for a 96 MB maximum instead of 192 MB maximum, without
replacing/discarding 8 MB memory SIMMs).

IBM P200 Color Monitor 19.1"
Ports:
- Serial ports use the compact 9-pin format in place of the 25-pin
format.
Diagnostics:
- On Screen Diagnostics provide less cryptic messages than LEDs.
- No LEDs for failure information or error code readout.
- Diagnostics diskettes are provided with the system unit. Diagnostics
cannot be run from the disk drive or while the normal operating system is
running.
Data Protection and Reliability:
- The 7248-100/120/132 is designed with lower cost parity memory.
Parity memory provides data protection to ensure integrity of data. Soft
errors in the system memory will be detected and halt the execution of
the system so that errors are not propagated through the system. The
system will have to be manually restarted to recover from the machine
check. In user environments where this is not appropriate, RS/6000
machines with ECC (Error Correcting Code) memory should be chosen. ECC
memory will detect single bit parity errors and correct them without
interruption of the application or operating system.
- A UPS or surge protector can increase data reliability in the event
of a power outage. The Emergency Power Off Warning signal (EPOW), which
alerts the operating system to power failures is not provided.
SCSI-2 Fast/Wide PCI-Bus Adapter (FC 2408, 6208, 2409, and 6209)

Feature Descriptions
The following is a list of feature codes in numeric order.
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, or is available for both initial and MES
orders.
Specify feature 0001 must be used when ordering After Market (MES)
orders in EMEA. All features with the exception of 3096, 3097, and 9396
are applicable.

(#8136) - Rack Mountable Remote Asynchronous Node 16-Port EIA-232
The Rack Mountable Remote Asynchronous Node 16-Port EIA-232 (RAN) is a
modified version of the existing 16-port Remote Async Node (feature #8130
or #8134) in an industry-standard 19-inch rack mount chassis to allow
simpler installation and ease-of-use. Like the existing RAN, it can also
be configured as a desktop device.
As an additional benefit, the new metal chassis meets FCC Class
B/CISPR B when used with similarly rated RS/6000 host to meet the needs
of customers with these requirements.
The RANs provide 16 ports of EIA-232 capability with full modem
controls on each port and are connected to the 128-port Async Controller
(Micro Channel or ISA versions) residing in the host. RANs are connected
in daisy-chain fashion up to 8 RANs per 128-port Async Controller (either
version).
The new rack-mountable RAN offers these enhanced features:
- Industry-standard 19-inch rack mountable chassis (can be configured
for stacking on a desktop or mounted in a 19-inch rack).
- Meets FCC Class B/CISPR B when used with similarly rated RS/6000
host.
- All RJ-45 connectors are now on the front panel, greatly enhancing
cable management.
- The DB-15 synchronous connectors (cabling from host to RAN and
between RANs) and the power cord and switch are located on the rear
panel.
- Power supply is self contained within the unit.
The new rack-mountable RAN offers these same features as the existing
RAN product:
- Identical function and support as existing 16-port Remote Async Node
(RAN), feature #8130 or #8134.
- Operation of 16 to 128 ports by supporting up to 8 RANs (4 per
synchronous line) with either a Micro Channel or ISA host adapter.
- Ability to monitor individual port operation, synchronous line
station, and other diagnostics from front panel.
- Built-in diagnostics can test ports independent of RS/6000 host.
- Full modem control supports the following interface signals: TxD,
RxD, RTS, CTS, DSR, DCD, DTR, RI.
- The same RJ-45 to DB-25 Converter Cable (feature #8133 -- quantity
four per order) currently used on the existing RANs can be used to attach
devices having a DB-25 connector to the Remote Async Nodes.
- Individual ports support a maximum EIA-232 distance of 62 meters (200
feet).
- Use of the same cabling from host to RAN and RAN to RAN: feature
#8131 (4.5 meter), feature #8132 (23 cm) or customer supplied cables.
- Location of RAN up to 330 meters from the host using standard
shielded 8-wire twisted pair cabling.
- Remote operation via synchronous modems or CSU/DSU extends the
distance and allows location of RANs at geographically distant location
from the host.
- Attributes provided: 16 RJ-45 EIA-232 ports

connection of 230 Kbaud, but a limited number of ports in a maximum
configuration (128 ports) can be supported at this baud rate.
- Operation of 16 to 128 ports by supporting up to 8 RANs (4 per
synchronous line) with either a Micro Channel, ISA or PCI host adapter.
- Ability to monitor individual port operation, synchronous line
station, and other diagnostics from front panel.
- Built-in diagnostics can test ports independent of RS/6000 host.
- Full modem control supports the following interface signals: TxD,
RxD, RTS, CTS, DSR, DCD, DTR, RI.
- The same RJ-45 to DB-25 Converter Cable (feature #8133 -- quantity
