demanding scientific and technical computing and business intelligence
tasks. These platforms provide the power to create change and the
flexibility to manage it, with thousands of applications that provide
real value. More than 1,000,000 systems have shipped to over 135,000
businesses worldwide.
Model Abstract 7012-390
The IBM* RS/6000 Model 390 dramatically extends the performance range
of the RS/6000 series desktop systems.
The RS/6000 Model 390 offers enhanced performance and introduces
POWER2 technology in desktop servers. For the first time in this series,
two 5.25-inch half-high removable media bays and the new SCSI-2 Fast/Wide
controller are offered, providing far greater performance and capability
on the desktop. Outstanding integer, floating-point, and transaction
processing levels exceed the performance of previously announced models.
This model is a natural for:
- Commercial servers
- Graphic simulation
The Model 390 with a 67MHz processor, establishes a new standard in
performance for IBM's high-end desktop systems. It includes 32MB of
memory, 2GB of SCSI-2 internal disk, a CD-ROM-2 drive, and one available
5.25-inch half-high removable media bay. Also available as an option is
512KB or 1MB of level 2 (L2) cache. 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.
The standard features include an 80MB/sec Micro Channel* with four
expansion slots, one integrated dual-ported SCSI-2 Fast/Wide controller
(one for internal and one for external devices), and an integrated
Ethernet** interface to provide additional function capabilities.
Memory capacity of up to 512MB and internal disk capacity of up to
13.5GB, coupled with the current wide variety of input/output devices and
communications features, allow these systems to be configured as powerful
servers.

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.

Printer notes:
- Feature code #3155 for the IBM 3812 printer is required for
attachment to the RS/6000 system.
- Feature code #7652 for the IBM 3816 printer is required for
attachment to the RS/6000 system.
- When using the serial ports, the IBM 4019 requires feature code #9143
(System serial interface adapter) for attachment to the RS/6000 system.
- The IBM RS/6000 system supports Code Page 850. The Code Page 850
cartridge must be installed on the IBM 5202 printer to fully utilize 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.
- 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 (e.g., high-density graphics) should use the
serial interface for optimum system performance.
- 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.

Descriptive/Ordering Information:
All upgrades from a Model 340, 34H, 350, 360 and 370 to a Model
380/390 will be shipped using a new "chassis exchange" process. The
upgrade provides a model conversion for customers with these installed
systems and want the RS/6000 Model 380/390 processor capability. This
field installable model conversion will help provide increased system
performance and contribute to the protection of customers' initial
investment in the Model 300 series systems. The resultant model
conversion will retain the serial number of the system prior to 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.
Compatibility:
The RS/6000 Model 380/390 uses a new SCSI-2 fast/wide interface. All
other external interfaces are the same as on the Model 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
2435 16-bit IBM SCSI-2 Fast/Wide Adapter/A to Dual-Ported Device
All Micro Channel adapters, external and internal devices currently
supported by the RS/6000 Model 380/390 and announced later as supported
by the RS/6000 Model 380/390 will also be supported by the newly
converted 380/390. The SCSI-2 fast/wide interface does NOT support the
following devices:
- 7206-001 External 4-mm Tape Drive
- 7210-001 External CD-ROM Drive
- 160-MB Disk Drive Features #2120, #2121, #2123, #9240, #9241 and
#9242.
Note: Features displaced remain with the customer. A minimum of 32
MB of memory is required prior to the upgrade. Customers who do not meet
the memory minimum must order additional memory features or SIMM kits.
This is not included in the price of the model conversion. The upgrade
kit will provide a one-for-one replacement of the customer's installed
memory cards. The existing memory SIMMs are reused on the replacement
cards. For upgraded machines, it may be necessary for 8-MB or 16-MB
memory to be replaced or for SIMM kits to be installed to meet the above
requirements. A machine being upgraded must have a minimum of 2 GB of
SCSI-2 disks installed or on order. These can be any one or combination
of the following:
FEATURE DESCRIPTION
------- -----------
2555 1-GB SCSI-2 DRIVE
2556 400-MB to 1-GB SCSI-2 DRIVE SELECT
2580 2-GB SCSI-2 DRIVE
2582 400-MB to 2-GB SCSI-2 DRIVE SELECT
Current machine configuration (product topology information) will be
requested by the plant prior to scheduling the shipment of this upgrade.
Programming Requirements:
AIX Version 3.2.5 for RS/6000 with additional PTFs. These PTFs are
included on all 3.2.5 orders shipped after 6/10/94 (labeled AIX/6000
Version 3.2.5.1). Refer to memo to users on installing these PTFs or
call the IBM support center and request the PTFs referenced in APAR
number IX42623. This level of AIX/6000 be installed and operational
PRIOR to beginning the upgrade. This is not included in the price of the
model conversion. AIX/6000* applications written for POWER-based
RS/6000s will run on the new POWER2*-based models without recompilation
and will run significantly faster. Additional performance 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 to exploit POWER2 technology may not function properly on
systems that do not employ the new POWER2 technology. Customers with any
combination of POWER-, PowerPC 601*-, 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 new XL compilers or any other compilers that support
those options. The 340, 34H, 350, 360, 370 to 380/390 upgrade kit will
contain some or all of the following:
- Base Model 380/390 chassis and covers with the serial number of the
original machine
- New memory card(s) without SIMMs
- Maintenance documentation
- CD-ROM
- As-required engineering changes
This upgrade is accomplished by transferring the customer's existing
media, disks, adapters, and memory SIMMs to the new chassis. The chassis
will contain the same serial number as the customer's existing machine.
The new chassis will include a CD-ROM (#9218).
Ordering Information:
When ordering this model conversion, you must specify the model
conversion on the MES order.
Supported Features Information:
All features announced as supported on the 380/390 are also available
on this model conversion. The following features presently supported on
the Model 340, 34H, 350, 360, and 370 will NOT be supported on the newly-

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.

publication: "Hardware Technical Information Options and Devices"
(SA23-2646).
(#2404, #2405) IBM Ultimedia Video I/O Adapter
(For IBM US, No Longer Available as of January 8, 1998)
The Ultimedia Video I/O adapter for the RS/6000 provides a broad based
solution for video enablement on the RS/6000. The Video I/O adapter is
comprised of two cards: a base Micro Channel feature card which provides
video in and video out (#2404) and a guest card which provides hardware
assisted video data compression or decompression (#2405). Each card is
separately orderable; however, it is required to have the base card
installed as a prerequisite to the guest card. The Video I/O adapter
requires only one Micro Channel slot of space with either the base card
or the base and guest card installed.
The Ultimedia Video I/O adapter provides support for numerous
multimedia applications requiring video. Support is provided for these
application requirements: still or full-motion video, NTSC, PAL or
S-video standards and YUV or RGB color spaces. A variety of image sizes
are supported in the video capture mode and one busmaster DMA channel is
offered to enhanced system thruput. A further benefit is the savings
obtained through the use of the compression and decompression algorithm
provided on the guest card which provides considerable assistance with
regards to transporting video data internally in the system or across the
network, as only the compressed data need be sent.. The compression
algorithm supported in hardware is M-JPEG, a universal video
compression/decompression format. The compression/ decompression
hardware is fully programmable to allow the user to select the
compression level desired.
The Ultimedia Video I/O adapter provides the required support for
applications such as multimedia enabled training, authoring, desktop
publishing, video collaboration (still or live), and video distribution.
Details of Supported Functions
Video Formats Supported
- Analog Video In: NTSC, PAL or S-video
- Analog Video Out NTSC, PAL or S-video
- Digital Video YUV 4:2:2 (16 bit) RGB (8 bit) RGB (24 bit)
Base Card Functions (FC2404)
The Ultimedia Video I/O base Adapter directly supports several
programmable functions and in addition provides the system level
interface for the guest compression/decompression card. The functions
provided on the base card include: analog to digital conversion with
video capture support, digital to analog conversion with video out
support, selectable color space conversion for video in, monitoring of
incoming video images with a supported IBM graphics adapter and/or an
external video monitor, scaling the size of the incoming video image, and
DMA transfer of the digital image data to and from the card.
- Video Capture: The adapter will provide video capture on a frame by
frame (or field by field) basis of "live" video from a single source.
Selection of S-video or CVBS input formats is enabled. The captured
video is converted from NTSC (PAL) to YUV. The YUV digital video may be
converted to 24-bit RGB, 8-bit dithered RGB or remain YUV.
- Video Output: The base adapter supports transfer of digital YUV
(4-2-2 16 bit) data. Via the guest card, both digital YUV and compressed
M-JPEG data are supported from the system to be output as PAL or NTSC in
both S-video or CVBS format. The Video I/O adapter accepts input from
the system as 320 x 240 or 640 x 240 pixel fields which are output as
full-size NTSC (640 x 480) images to a display or recorder. Likewise,
PAL images are output as 768 x 576 pixel images from 384 x 288 or 768 x
288 pixel field input. If the compression/decompression card is used,
the M-JPEG format is accepted from the system in the same field sizes as
above, an output as full-size NTSC or PAL images.
- Scaling: Captured video input may be scaled down from a maximum NTSC
or PAL resolution (640 x 480, 768 x 576) in even increments to the
minimum resolution desired.
- Video Monitoring: The monitoring of incoming video data is supported
with an IBM supported graphics adapter and/or a video monitor. The
following image sizes as shown in table #1 are supported for viewing with
a supported graphics adapter.

Table #1 Video Monitoring with a supported graphics adapter
Compression/Decompression Guest Card (FC2405)
The compression/decompression of video is supported with the M-JPEG
algorithm in either the compression or decompression mode. This card
supports full-motion video capture and video out utilizing the
enablements provided by the base video card mentioned previously. Video
monitoring concurrent with M-JPEG compression is supported.
When compression is required, the quality or compression information
is provided by the user through a software interface whereas the
decompression file sent to the adapter contains the necessary information
for software to automatically interpret the necessary command and control
information for the user.
Video out images may be accepted as either full-size NTSC or PAL or
CIF size NTSC or PAL from the system. Scaling of the CIF size images to
full-size NTSC, PAL or S-video images for video out is featured through
support on the base card.
The Video I/O adapter supports M-JPEG compression and capture of video
in to CIF or full-size frames with concurrent monitoring of the video.
The video may be viewed in an X-window in 8-bit dithered or 24-bit RGB on
a supported graphics adapter at CIF size (320 x 240 NTSC. 384 x 288
PAL).
External Connections
Four external connectors are provided for video:
- S-VHS mini din jack for video in
- C-VBS RCA type jack for video in
- S-VHS mini din jack for video out
- C-VBS RCA type jack for video out
System Interface

ARTIC960 Coprocessor
The ARTIC960 coprocessor is a high-speed, high-throughput
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 (1 MB, 4 MB, or
8 MB). 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.
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
2 MB
- LAN interconnect via leased lines (64 Kb - 2 Mb)
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

(#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.
