The 9406 is available in seven models and in conjunction with a large range of IBM I/O devices provides an extended range of price/performance for the AS/400 System beyond that provided by the 9404 System Unit. The 9406 offers performance ranging up to two times that of the 5382 Model 700, with DASD capacity to 54.8 GB, and main storage capacity to 192 MB. The 9406 contains the system processing unit and the necessary controllers and adapters for attachment of system DASD, tape, diskette, workstations, and communication lines.
Customers who order the Operating System/400 (OS/400) with their original hardware order which includes DASD will receive it preloaded.
The system processor uses very large scale integration (VLSI) logic and has a 32-bit data channel and 48-bit addressing that has the capability to provide direct access to 281 trillion bytes of storage. It is implemented with a software and hardware architecture that can accommodate up to 64-bit addressing. This architecture accommodates the needs of advanced applications such as voice, image and artificial intelligence.
The 9406, as well as DASD, tape (except 3422, 3430, 3480 and 3490), and diskette devices, are mounted in the 9309 Rack Enclosures. The modular packaging approach provided by the 9309 allows the customer to select the devices that satisfy current requirements and provides growth for their system in the future. To simplify the ordering process, a concept of predetermined device locations within the rack enclosures is utilized. This results in a system being assembled from one or more of six predefined 9309 rack configurations. All interconnecting cables and filler panels are automatically added when the system is built at the factory. This eliminates the need to order these items separately.
Note: For 3422, 3430, 3480, or 3490 Magnetic Tape Subsystems, special cable ordering and installation rules apply (see feature #2604).
The 9406 has the capability to provide the following automatic operations for the system:
· Programmed power-off
· Power-on by time-of-day clock
· Auto IPL after power-on
· Auto Power-on and IPL after power interrupt
· Power-on by remote signal
The 9406 has a security keylock to prevent unauthorized use of the system and unauthorized accessibility to data within the system. System availability is enhanced by an extensive package of Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS) features including easy-to-use problem analysis procedures for the customer. An enhanced electrical interface to allow attachment of a vendor-supplied Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is also provided. UPS provides the capability for the system to tolerate input power quality problems.

Communications Subsystems
Communications for the 9406 is provided by one standard and several optional hardware communications subsystems. Each subsystem is comprised of a communications controller card and one or more communication line adapter cards and 50 ft communication cables for modem attachment. The cards in the subsystems plug into the I/O card slots in the 9406 or into the slots in the I/O Card Unit feature (#5030).
The number of communications subsystems that can be installed is dependent on the number of I/O card slots available and the following line limitation:
High Speed
48Kbps & GreaterModel Lines per Model Lines per Model
B30 16 2
B35 16 2
B40 32 4
B45 32 4
B50 32 6
B60 32 8
B70 48 10
The communication subsystem that is provided as standard on the 9406 System Unit is the Base Communications Subsystem. This feature provides two communications lines with the first line intended for use with electronic customer support.
The Base Communications Subsystem can be expanded, at initial machine order, to a four-or eight-line subsystem by ordering optional line expansion features.
The optional communication subsystems offer two-, four-and eight-line subsystems supporting a variety of protocols and line types. These subsystems, as well as standard Base Communications Subsystem, have the following characteristics:
· Switched and nonswitched point-to-point and multipoint lines are supported. X.25 lines are full duplex. ASYNC lines can be full or half duplex. To determine aggregate line speeds for communications subsystems, reference "AS/400 Communications User's Guide," SC21-9601, Aggregate Line Speed and Storage Subsystem considerations section.
· Serial Autodial modem support is provided by the EIA 232/V.24 interface. The V.25 bis command set is supported for synchronous (SDLC), Binary Synchronous (BSC), and Asynchronous (ASYNC) lines. X.25 lines are not supported using Serial Auto-dial. Modems must support the bit synchronous (HDLC) format for dialing to establish connection for BSC data transfer using the AS/400 V.25 bis Autodial Support for BSC lines.
· The AS/400 does not offer a Digital Data Service Adapter (DDSA). Access to the AT&T Data-Phone Digital Service** is via an 5821 or 5822 Data Service Unit (DSU) and Channel Service Unit (CSU). The Communications Subsystems and expansion features support the 5821 or 5822 DSU/CSU (or an equivalent OEM DSU/CSU).
· X.21 networks that are compatible with IBM's implementation of X.21 as described in "IBM Implementation of X.21 General Information Manual", (GA27-3287) and complying with CCITT Recommendation X.21, 1980 and 1984, are supported. The X.21 Short Hold Mode (SHM) and Multiple Port Sharing (MPS) functions of X.21 Circuit Switched are supported on the 9406.
X.21 guidelines are:
o X.21 SHM/MPS concurrent operation with BSC, ASYNC, SDLC, and X.25 is supported by the 9406 System Unit. The 9406 Communications Subsystems individually support concurrent operation of X.21 SHM/MPS with either SDLC or X.25 protocols.
§ SDLC and X.21 SHM/MPS protocols may operate concurrently on up to six lines of a 9406 Communications Subsystem with up to five X.21 SHM/MPS port groups.
§ One X.25 line supporting up to 16 X.25 virtual circuits may operate concurrently with one of the following: a five-line port group, a one- line port group operating with a two-line port group, or two one-line port groups on a 9406 Communications Subsystem.
§ ASYNC or BSC concurrent operation with X.21 SHM/MPS is not supported on a 9406 Communications Subsystem.
§ A maximum of up to six X.21 SHM/MPS lines is supported on a 9406 Communications Subsystem.
§ With X.21 SHM/MPS operating concurrently with either X.25 or SDLC, a maximum of 64 remote stations/controllers are supported per 9406 Communications Subsystem including X.21 SHM/MPS remote stations, SDLC remote stations, and one remote station for each X.25 virtual circuit. However, in X.25 configurations, the number of varied-on SDLC remote controllers/stations supported on SDLC lines or assigned to X.21 SHM port groups should be verified with the "AS/400 Communications Users Guide", SC21-9601, Aggregate Line Speed and Subsystem Storage Considerations section.

Rack, Tape, Diskette, and DASD Devices Supported
9309 Rack Enclosure
The 9406s, as well as the attached I/O Card Unit, disk units, diskette units, and tape units (except 3422 and 3430 tape drives), are mounted into 9309 Model 2 Rack Enclosures (1.6 meter).
The rack provides:
· A cabinet to house the individual rack mountable units that make up a system
· Power control of all units within the rack (under control of the system unit) and power control for the next rack in the system
· Consolidation of individual unit AC power cords to one rack power cord
· Emergency Power Off (EPO) switch for the system
9309 Rack Configurations for 9406
To simplify the ordering, installing and upgrading processes, the 9406 utilizes the concept of predetermined device locations within the rack enclosures. This concept provides a wide range of product flexibility with defined product growth and minimized device relocation on upgrades. This results in the systems being preassembled from combinations of eight defined rack configurations. When ordering 9309 racks for an 9406, the specify code corresponding to the desired configuration must be included with the 9309 order.
The placement or cabling sequence of racks in a multiple rack system does not have to be considered during the order process. This placement will have to be considered by the customer during their site preparation activity. The information needed for this activity is covered in chapter two and appendix G of the "9406 Planning Guide" (GA21-9913).
The following diagrams illustrate the rack configurations, showing where any ordered devices will be installed in the racks. At initial system build, blank filler panels will be installed over empty device locations.
· System Unit Rack (9309 #9125)
This rack configuration is for field upgrades only and is no longer available for new orders. This rack configuration can be used for all models of the 9406 System Unit. When this rack is used, a second rack is required to mount the necessary system DASD if no 9336 Disk Unit is in this rack.

9337 Disk Array Subsystem Models 40 and 140
Two new models of the IBM 9337 Disk Array Subsystem are now available for the AS/400 9406. These models offer enhanced reliability and availability features, including redundant power, concurrent maintenance, and an implementation of RAID-5 array technique that improves data loss protection. These models offer up to seven of the new high reliability 2.0GB, 3.5-inch disk drives in a 19-inch rack-mountable unit. Models 40 and 140 double the maximum capacity of previous 9337 Disk Array Subsystem Models 20 and 120. The maximum capacity per a 9309 I/O rack for a fully configured base Model 40 is 82.6GB and 70.8GB of protected data for the high availability Model 140.
The base Model 40 has four disk drives formatted to 1,976MB each with an option to add up to three additional feature drives of the same capacity. The data capacity of the Model 40 ranges from 7.90GB to 13.77GB.
The high availability Model 140 includes four disk drives formatted to 1,976MB each. Up to three disk drives of the same capacity can be added in increments of 1,976MB each. The high availability models employ a variation of the Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID-5) technique which facilitates the reconstruction of data in the event of a single disk drive outage allowing for continued operation. This availability option is implemented by distributing parity across four drives. The data capacity ranges of the high availability Model 140 are 5.90GB to 11.80GB.
AS/400 9406 B model support includes the above new models as well as previously announced 9337 Disk Array Subsystem Models 10, 20, 110 and 120. The B models are supported via the IOP Controller feature #2611.

DASD Performance Guidelines
In all interactive environments interested in performance, the maximum number of devices per Magnetic Storage Device Controller (#6110 or #6111) and/or the maximum of four 9335-B01 Storage Devices per 9335-A01 Controller may not yield the best performance. In those cases, some of the following configuration alternatives should be considered:
· Additional devices--This will provide more actuators to handle the high number of I/O operations being performed in the environment.
· Additional 9335-A01 Controllers - Using one 9335-A01 Controller for each two 9335-B01 Storage Devices will provide more overlap in I/O operation on each of the attachment features.
· Additional attachment features - Having fewer devices on a Magnetic Storage Device Controller (#6110 or #6111) will reduce the potential for contention of resources.
· A maximum of four 9332s or 9335-B01s per #6110 is recommended for any 9406 (for performance reasons).
Specific workload performance modeling with various DASD subsystem options can be done using MDLSYS or General Systems Predictor (GSP400) which will be available on HONE. General DASD Performance Guidelines are available on HONE.
9332/9335 DASD Subsystem Migration to 9406
The 9406 has been designed to preserve the customer's investment wherever possible. Consistent with that objective, 9332 and 9335 DASD subsystems currently installed on System/36s and System/38s can be migrated to 9406s with only minor modifications.
Whenever DASD units are removed from one system and installed on another, all required customer data and programs must first be saved to tape or diskette media which can then be read back into the receiving system.
All DASD units being attached to a 9406 must have available space in a 9309 Rack Enclosure and available position on a Magnetic Storage Device Controller (#6110). See #6110 description in the Special Features section.
There are two additional areas of requirement that must be satisfied before migrating 9332/9335 DASD subsystems can be installed on a 9406 system. The first is to describe the DASD subsystem(s) being migrated. This is done by selecting the specify code(s) which correctly defines the DASD configuration(s) you are migrating to the 9406. The following specify codes describe the possible configurations.

#9139 9332-420 Standalone Model(For IBM US, withdrawn from marketing as of March 20, 1995)
For new systems, the above specify codes should be ordered on the 9406 system order. For installed systems, the codes should be ordered via MES. Ordering these DASD migration specify codes will result in shipment of the appropriate instructions and hardware to install the migration DASD configuration, and will permit the utilization of unused space in migrating DASD racks.
Note: Specify codes #8501, #8502, and #8503, previously used for migration of DASD to the 9406 have been replaced by the above codes. Although the old codes are valid on existing orders and are recognized by the order processing systems, they do not provide for the utilization of unused space in the migrating DASD racks.
The second requirement for migration involves potential changes to the subsystem components to make them operable on the 9406. The subsystem components affected may include the 9332 Direct Access Storage Devices, the 9335 Direct Access Storage Subsystem or the 9309 Rack Enclosure. Listed here are the modifications which, if required, must be ordered and installed before the unit can be moved to a 9406 System Unit.
· 9332 Model 220 to Model 200 conversion - RPQ 845102.
· 9332 Model 420 to Model 400 conversion - RPQ 845104.
These RPQs must be ordered for the conversion of stand-alone models to rack-mount models for installation in the 9309 Rack Enclosure. Stand-alone models are not supported on the 9406.
· 9309 primary rack to secondary rack conversion.
All rack enclosures beyond the first on a 9406 must be at the #9202 Subsequent Enclosure specify level. Order via MES, specify code #9119 on the installed 9309. This code will provide for the modification of each 9309 Model 001 or 002 with #9201, Primary Enclosure, to Specify Code #9202, Subsequent Enclosure. In US, Canada, IBM LA, and AP there is a charge for this feature. In EMEA, there is no charge for this feature.
· 9335-A01 Controller EC level upgrade - EC 397013A
A 9335-A01 being installed on a 9406 must be at EC level 397013A or later to ensure proper operation and integrity. A "white label" on the front plate behind the decorative cover will identify units at this EC level with the words "EC 397013A installed." If required, the EC should be ordered through the local NSD branch office.
These modifications are not extensive and should be planned to be done after the units are removed from the currently installed system.
All migrations of DASD subsystems to the 9406 will require one of the DASD Migration Aids Specify Codes on the 9406 System Unit order. Most migrations will also require one or more of the subsystem device modifications. Be sure that both are ordered if required.

Remote Workstation Controllers
5251 Model 12
The 5251 Model 12 may be used to attach remote workstations. It is a workstation controller and communications unit for remote attachment of multiple display stations and printers. PC Support access by Personal Computers and Personal System/2s attached to the 5251 Model 12 will not be supported.
Note: Remote workstation controllers attach to the AS/400 via the communications subsystem features. The 5294 or the 5394 running in 5294 emulation mode, will not give IBM Personal Computers or Personal System/2s access to IBM PC Support/400.
5294
The 5294 Remote Control Unit can be used to attach up to eight 5250 type displays, printers, IBM Personal Computers and Personal System/2s, and Personal System/55 (AP only), to an AS/400 via a communications link. The function provided will be equivalent to that available on the System/36 and System/38 with the exception that PC Support access by Personal Computers and Personal System/2s attached to the 5294 will not be supported.
5394
The 5394 Remote Control Unit attaches up to sixteen 5250 type displays, printers, IBM Personal Computers and Personal System/2s, and Personal System/55 (AP only) to an AS/400 via a communications link. The function provided will be similar to that provided to the local workstations via the #6140 or #6040 local twinaxial workstation controllers.
5494 Remote Control Unit
The 5494 Remote Control Unit manages the operation of workstations and workstation communications to the AS/400. The 5494 is available in two models -- the Model 001 and the Model 002. Both models offer function that exceeds the 5394: the function provided will be similar to the local workstation via the #6050 local twinaxial workstation controllers. While offering increased function, the 5494 will not be a replacement for the 5394, but rather an addition to the product line.
The Model 001 manages the operation of up to 28 twinaxial attached workstations and allows the workstations to communicate with the AS/400 through a Type 2.1 connection.
The Model 002 provides support for two Token-Ring configurations. It can communicate with an AS/400 system over a Token-Ring network while supporting up to 28 twinaxial devices, or it can support Token-Ring attached devices while communicating with an AS/400 over an SDLC, X.21, or X.25 connection. In this configuration, the 5494 supports up to 40 devices of which up to 28 could be twinaxial attached and the rest Token-Ring attached.
With Version 2 Release 3, the IBM 5494 Remote Control Unit offers two new features which allow a customer to double the maximum number of remotely located workstations attached via a single 5494. The Twinaxial Expansion Kit allows the customer to attach up to 56 twinaxial devices to an AS/400 using a single 5494 Remote Control Unit. The Token-Ring Expansion Kit allows the customer to attach up to 80 token-ring devices communicating through a single 5494 to an AS/400. Both twinaxial and Token-Ring devices may be attached to the same 5494 up to a combined maximum of 80 devices.

1. The relative system performance ratios are estimated based on AS/400 Environment RAMP-C workload with a 9404 Model B10 with 16MB of main storage and 945MB of DASD equaling 1.0. The ratios shown were estimated at maximum configurations running at 70 percent utilization. Relative system performance ratios may not be realized in all environments.
2. The number of available main storage feature card slots for the Model B70 depends on whether 16MB or 32MB main storage cards are installed. When only 16MB main storage cards (#3061) are installed, the number of main storage feature card slots is 4. When only 32MB main storage cards (#3109) are installed, the number of main storage feature card slots is 5.
3. Increased maximum DASD capacity is provided to support DASD mirroring.
4. Up to four LAN subsystems can be installed on any model of the 9406. This includes any combination of features numbers 6240, 6242, and 6250.
The 9406 is installed in a 9309 Model 002 Rack Enclosure at the factory along with other rack mounted devices. The following specifications describe the 9309 Model 002 Rack Enclosure with the 9406 and attached devices installed:

For new systems, the above specify codes should be ordered on the 9406 system order. For installed systems, the codes should be ordered via MES. Ordering these DASD migration specify codes will result in shipment of the appropriate instructions and hardware to install the migration DASD configuration, and will permit the utilization of unused space in migrating DASD racks.
Note: Specify codes #8501, #8502, and #8503, previously used for migration of DASD to the 9406 have been replaced by the above codes. Although the old codes are valid on existing orders and are recognized by the order processing systems, they do not provide for the utilization of unused space in the migrating DASD racks.
· OS/400 Release Level
Orders for upgrades to 9406 systems with OS/400 Version 1 Release 3 or later installed should include specify code #0016 (BXX Hardware Pubs). The OS/400 release level specify code is used to determine the appropriate installation instructions to be shipped with the upgrade.
· Conversion Facilitator
Every order for a 9406 Model B60 or B70 should include the Conversion Facilitator feature code (#3086). The Conversion Facilitator feature code is used within the IBM order process and does not cause any hardware to be shipped with the order. There is no charge for the Conversion Facilitator. Orders for 9406 Model B60 should include Conversion Facilitator (#3086) quantity of two. Orders for 9406 Model B70 should include Conversion Facilitator (#3086) quantity of one.
· Standard 32MB Main Storage Specify:
Specify code #3090 must be entered on the 9406 Model B70 order with 96MB or more main storage. Only 32MB main storage features (#3109) may be used in a 9406 Model B70 with specify code #3090 installed.
When upgrading a Model B70 main storage to 128MB or more main storage capacity or upgrading a Model B60 to a Model B70 with 96MB or more main storage, the two standard 16MB main storage cards must be exchanged for a 32MB main storage card by ordering specify code #3090.
· Complete and Partial Systems.
Every order must include the Complete System specify code (#5520) or the Partial System specify code (#5521). The Complete System specify code must be included on all orders unless the intent is to order an incomplete system. In this case the Partial System code should be used. The Partial System Specify Code causes some of the order validation checking to be bypassed. Partial system orders will not fail validation if device controllers, machines or features required for a complete and operable system are missing. Therefore, it is important that the partial system order accurately list all machines and/or features to be shipped with the 9406. An example of a Partial System order would be an order for a 9406 without the supporting system unit rack or without a Magnetic Storage Device Controller (#6110) to support a DASD rack.
o #5520 - Complete (Minimum) system order
o #5521 - Partial system order
· System Console Workstation Controller Specify
When the 9406 order includes both a Twinaxial Workstation Controller (#6040) and an ASCII Workstation Controller (#6041), one of the following specify codes must be entered on the 9406 order to select the type of workstation controller the system console will be attached to:
o #5540 System console attached to a Twinaxial Workstation
o #5541 System console attached to a ASCII Workstation Controller
· Standard Magnetic Storage Device Controller Specify
One of the following specify codes must be entered on the 9406 order to select the standard Magnetic Storage Device Controller:
o #8110 Magnetic Storage Device Controller (#6110) (For IBM US, withdrawn from marketing as of March 20, 1995)
o #8111 Magnetic Storage Device Controller (#6111) (For IBM US, withdrawn from marketing as of March 20, 1995)
This code is used to tie machine orders to dependent MES orders. The unique Tie specify code for that machine and the 9406 system type and system number must be on both the machine order and the dependent MES order. Examples are:

When ordering features, it is necessary to consider the number of card slots required by the feature and the number of card slots available in each model. The number of main storage slots is fixed for each model, but the I/O card slots can be expanded by ordering the I/O card unit feature (#5030). The number of I/O card units that can be attached to each model is listed in the description of the I/O card unit feature.
When ordering a 9406 using the HONE configurator CFAS400, the card slot count consideration will be handled automatically by the configurator. If the configurator is not used, then the guidance provided in the feature description, and the guidance in the section labeled "Feature Slot Restrictions" should be used to configure a system.
This feature card provides a tape I/O subsystem that allows attachment of one 9346 Tape Unit. A maximum of one can be installed on any model of the 9406. I/O Card Slots Used: One. Limitations: Cannot be installed in the I/O Card Unit (#5030) Field Installation: Yes. Maximums: See the Magnetic Tape Configuration table in the Racks, Tape, Diskette and DASD Devices Supported section.
This feature card provides for the attachment of one 2440 Magnetic Tape Subsystem, Model A12. A 12 meter (37-foot) cable and terminator are provided for attachment of the 2440 Magnetic Tape Subsystem. Additional cable lengths are not available. I/O Card Slots Used: One. Limitations: Cannot be installed in the I/O Card Unit (#5030). Field Installation: Yes. Maximums: See the Magnetic Tape Configuration table in the Racks, Tape, Diskette and DASD Devices Supported section.

When ordering a 9406 using the HONE configurator, CFAS400, the number of #6110s needed will be determined by the configurator. If the configurator is not used, then the number of #6110s needed can be determined by the following guidelines:
· When the 9406 is mounted in the System Unit/9332 Rack (9309 #9126):
o Order one #6110 for each additional disk unit or I/O expansion rack that is attached to the system (9309 #9127 or #9128).
o Order one additional #6110 for each I/O expansion rack (9309 #9129) if it is used for the installation of 9331s or 9347s.
· When the 9406 is mounted in the System Unit Rack (9309 #9125 or #9140)--
· and 9406 Specify Code #8110 is included:
o If 9331s or 9347s are included in the system, then the standard magnetic storage device controller will be used to control these devices. Therefore, order a #6110 for each disk unit rack that is attached to the system (9309 Specify Codes #9127 and #9128). After the maximum number of #6110/#611s are installed, a second disk unit rack #9128 can be attached to each #6110.
o If there are no 9331s or 9347s included in the system, then the standard magnetic storage device controller is used to control the first disk unit rack attached to the system. Therefore, order a #6110 for the second and subsequent disk unit rack attached to the system (9309 specify codes #9127 and #9128). After the maximum number of #6110/#6111s are installed, a second disk unit rack #9128 can be attached to each #6110.
· and 9406 Specify Code #8111 is included:
o If 9331s or 9347s are included in the system, then the standard magnetic storage device controller will be used to control these devices. Therefore, order a #6110 for each disk unit rack that is attached to the system (9309 specify codes #9127 and #9128). After the maximum number of #6110/#6111s are installed, a second disk unit rack #9128 can be attached to each #6110.
· When migrating 9332/9335 DASD to a 9406 System:
1. Order one #6110 for each rack of 9335 DASD being migrated (Specify Codes #9131, #9132, #9133, #9134, #9135, #9136, #9137).
2. Order one #6110 for every two racks of 9332 DASD being migrated (Specify Codes #9121, #9122, #9123, #9124).
In certain circumstances it may be desirable to have additional controllers. Refer to the DASD Performance Guidelines and Cables sections for additional information.

This feature, consisting of a controller, adapter, and cable provides the 9406 System Unit with a single attachment to a 4Mbit IBM Token-Ring Network. Logical link control and media access control functions which comply with IEEE 802.2 and 802.5 standards are supported. A 2-1/2 meter (8 foot) cable is provided for connection to the IBM Token-Ring. The standard IBM Cabling System Patch Cables can increase the length where required. I/O card slots used: Two contiguous. Maximum: Two per system. Cables: One Token-Ring Network attachment cable (2-1/2 meter (8 foot))
(For IBM US, withdrawn from marketing as of March 20, 1995)
The 16/4Mbps Token-Ring Network Subsystem, available on all B models, provides a single attachment to either a 16Mbps or a 4Mbps Token-Ring Network. The subsystem consists of an I/O processor card, an I/O adapter card, and licensed internal code that supplies IEEE 802.5 Media Access Control (MAC) and IEEE 802.2 Logical Link Control (LLC) functions, and an external 2 1/2-meter (8 foot) cable. OS/400 Release 3 configuration parameters are used to select either the 16Mbps or 4Mbps rate. Early token release can be enabled or disabled when the 16Mbps rate is selected. These controls allow the customer to easily migrate from a 4Mbps to a 16Mbps Token-Ring Network. The adapter card provides 64K bytes of memory allowing maximum frame sizes to be increased from 2K to 8K bytes. This increased frame size along with other changes to the licensed internal code will improve performance during large file transfer operations. Short interactive workstation exchanges will see little response time improvement over the current 4Mbps token-ring subsystem. All Token-Ring Network Subsystems for the 9406 System Unit use the same 2 1/2-meter cable for connection to the Token-Ring Network. The standard IBM cabling system patch cables can increase the length where necessary. I/O Card Slots Used: Two contiguous. Maximums: Four per system (reduced by the number of feature numbers 6240 and 6250 installed in the system). Cables: One Token-Ring Network attachment 2 1/2-meter (8 foot) cable.
The 4Mbps Token-Ring Network Subsystem (#6240) can be field upgraded to make it equivalent to feature number 6242. A feature conversion MES is available to remove the 4Mbps Token-Ring Network I/O Adapter and replace it with the 16/4Mbps Token-Ring Network I/O Adapter. The I/O processor for both the 4Mbps and 16/4Mbps Token-Ring Network subsystems is the same and is not affected by the MES. The removed 4Mbps I/O Adapter remains the property of the customer.
The customer realizes a significant savings when upgrading his 4Mbps subsystem as compared with replacing it with feature number 6242.
(For IBM US, withdrawn from marketing as of March 20, 1995)
The Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 CSMA/CD LAN Subsystem, available on all models of the 9406 System Unit, provides a single attachment to one Ethernet Version 2 or one IEEE 802.3 Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detect Local Area Network. The subsystem consists of an I/O processor card, an I/O adapter card, and licensed internal code that supplies Ethernet Version 2 and IEEE 802.3 Media Access Control (MAC) plus IEEE 802.2 Logical Link Control (LLC) functions. The customer must procure the Attachment Unit Interface (AUI) cable that connects between feature number 6250 and the Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 transceiver. The AUI cable is not available from IBM, but can be obtained from an Ethernet supplier.
This subsystem offers the customer a direct connection to Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 LANs, which supports communications with both non-IBM and IBM products. Concurrent sessions with both Ethernet Version 2 and IEEE 802.3 stations are possible. These two CSMA/CD protocols are able to coexist on the same LAN, but they cannot communicate with each other. This concurrent session capability of feature number 6250 allows the 9406 System Unit to support a customer's staged migration from Ethernet Version 2 to the newer IEEE/802.3 LAN. I/O Card Slots Used: Two contiguous. Maximums: Four per system (reduced by the number of feature numbers 6240 and 6242 installed in the system).
This section is intended for use when an on-line configurator is not being used to assist in the configuration and ordering of the system. Card slot totals help determine the ability to add features to a system. There are more features available for each 9406 model than there are card slots to contain them. In addition, there are feature combination constraints that are listed in the feature descriptions. Individual feature restrictions must be resolved before card slot totals are considered. Card slots per feature are:

Initial order configurations that include #6220, #6221, #6222, #6223, or #6224 in unique combinations with other communication features may require an additional I/O Card Unit #5030 even though the feature card counts or I/O Card Unit counts are not exceeded. If the maximum number of #5030s allowed are already on the order, then the number of communication lines must be reduced or the next larger model is required. These unique configurations will be identified by an error message on the HONE configurator, CFAS400, and the 9406 manufacturing validation process.
The following information lists four unique feature combinations where an I/O Card Unit (#5030) must be ordered even though the feature card counts listed in the I/O Card Unit (#5030) section are not exceeded.
· On the Model B50 - If four or more #6110s or #6111s are ordered and one of the following (#6232, #6235, #6238, #6221, #6223, or #6224)
· On the Model B50 - If four #2602s are ordered and one of the following (#6232, #6235, #6238, #6221, #6223, or #6224)
· On the Model B60 - If seven or more #6110s or #6111s are ordered and one of the following (#6232, #6235, #6238, #6221, #6223, or #6224)
· On the Model B60 and B70 - If one feature is ordered from each of the following groups: Group 1 (#6232, #6235, #6238); Group 2 (#6221, #6223, #6224); and Group 3 (#6230, #6233, #6236, #6239, or #6240, #6242, or #6250.
Net-Priced Main Storage Feature Exchanges
One-for-one (card-for-card) net-priced main storage feature exchanges will be offered within COMPATIBLE features when needed to increase system capacity. In addition, on multiprocessor systems with 512MB or more main storage, mixed quantity exchanges (e.g., two-for-one) which increase megabyte capacity will be offered to optimize main storage access.
When model upgrades result in INCOMPATIBLE main storage features, one- for-one and mixed quantity exchanges (e.g. two-for-one) to equal or greater capacity in megabytes of feature main storage will be offered.
Installed IBM manufactured main storage features will be exchanged either at no charge on a megabyte-for-megabyte basis or at the net difference in the current price per megabyte of the main storage features on a megabyte-for-megabyte basis, whichever is greater.
Effective October 1, 1993, the charge associated with exchange of 9406 B model main storage features is being increased. The new charge for B model main storage feature exchanges will be equal to 50% of the current price for the replacement main storage features on a megabyte-for- megabyte basis. This change applies to 9406 B model memory exchanges only.
Any incremental (added) IBM feature main storage will be billed at the current price per megabyte. Parts removed as part of a net-price or exchange transaction must be returned to IBM.
