Fujitsu S140 User manual

1Introduction

The range of BS2000/OSD servers has been extended by the addition of the S140 series.

The spectrum of user facilities of the new models lies betweeen that of the S135 and the

S150. They are powerful systems for scientific and commercial applications.

The S140 Business Server (or cluster) has a modular structure and can easily be upgraded

on site.

The main memory can be expanded by up to 8 Gbytes. Optional global storage (GSP or

SSU) can be upgraded to maximum of 64 Gbytes and if desired can have a battery buffer.

The input/output system consists of 1 I/O processor. Up to 128 channels can therefore be

configured for connecting peripheral devices with type-2, type-S or type-F channel inter-

faces. LAN networking is possible via the 3970-SKP servive/console processor, a connec-

tion to the TRANSDATA network world via front-end processors.

The service processor (SVP) and the external 3970-SKP service/console processor

support common operation, monitoring, diagnosis and maintenance of the computer as well

as TELESERVICE.

Several S140 models can easily be integrated into a HIPLEX network with a jointly used

global storage.

Like all computers in the 7.500 system family and the S1xx server series, the S140

Business Server uses the BS2000 operating system in either dialog, OLTP or batch mode.

This offers the portability and compatibility of BS2000 programs.

1.1 Objectives and target group

This manual provides you with all the information you require to operate the S140 Business

Server via the service/console processor, and is thus intended for operators and system

managers.

Knowledge of BS2000 system operation and management as well as basic knowledge of

SINIX are required.

Further manuals with information on the operation of BS2000, SINIX and TELESERVICE

are listed under “Related publications” at the back of this manual.

WARNING: This is a class A equipment. This equipment may cause interference to

radio and television reception in a residential installation. If it does cause inter-

ference, the user may be requested to take appropriate corrective measures at his

or her own cost.

The devices generate and emit high-frequency energy.

If the devices are installed and used other than as instructed in the manual, failures in the

devices or other electric systems may occur. If failures of this type occur it is the task of the

user to carry out measurements and implement measures to solve the problem. Only the

cables supplied with the system or recommended by Fujitsu Siemens Computers may be

used.

All other devices which are connected to the present product must be radio interference

suppressed in accordance with BMPT Order No. 1046/84 and Order No. 243/91 or EU

Directive 89/336/EEC. Products which satisfy this requirements are provided with an appro-

priate certificate by the manufacturer and bear the CE mark or the interference suppression

symbol.

2.3 Safety instructions

This device fulfills the prevailing safety requirements for information technology equipment,

including electrical office machines.



In emergencies (e.g. damaged housing, operating elements or network cables,

intrusion of liquid or foreign objects), switch off the device immediately (UNIT

EMERGENCY POWER OFF) and contact our service department.



The systems may only be installed by authorized trained personnel.



The cables must be laid in such a way that there is no danger of anyone tripping over

them and they cannot be damaged.



Data transmission lines must not be connected or disconnected during electrical

storms.



Ensure that no foreign bodies (e.g. necklaces, paperclips etc.) or liquids find their way

into the device (danger of electric shock, short circuit).

3Overview

This chapter provides information on the configuration levels and the configuration of the

S140 Business Server series and the concept of system operation.

Figure 2: S140 Business Server, global storages and battey units

The S140 Business Server consists of a cabinet plus an additional cabinet for channel

expansions.

Two optional global storages can be connected; these are situated in a cabinet one and a

half times as wide as a normal cabinet.

The optional battery unit for each global storage comprises one cabinet. It ensures that no

data is lost in the global storage in the event of a power failure.

3.1 Configuration levels of the S140 Business Server

The S140 Business Server series consists of seven models. Upgrading of the individual

models can easily be carried out on site, so that system downtime is not extended due to

hardware installation.

The S140 models can have multiple processing units and channel groups. Thus a reconfi-

guration is possible for these models if there is a partial failure.

Configuration levels of the S140 Business Server Overview

If a processing unit fails, the other processors take over its tasks without interrupting

operation (dynamic reconfiguration).

Concept of system operation Overview

The following hardware and software components are important for the operation of S140:



Service processor (SVP) in the S140 CPU.

This is responsible for the following tasks in the S140 CPU:

– initialization

– monitoring

– controlling

– hardware diagnosis



The service/console processor (3970-SKP) with the SINIX operating system.

Operation of the S140 system is handled via a local PC, the 3970-SKP service/console

processor. S140 and 3970-SKP communicate with one another in three ways:

– serial line (V.24)

– type-S I/O channel

– internal LAN connection

The following components can be operated via the local 3970-SKP screen and remote

secondary consoles:

– the SINIX system of the 3970-SKP

– the SVP of the S140

– the BS2000 running on the S140

– consoles for up to 15 VM2000 guest systems

– BS2000 applications via 9750 emulation



Automatic Operator (ATOP).

The ATOP is a device which is connected to the 3970-SKP via a serial line. It makes the

following functions possible:

– automatic switching on and off of the S140

– automatic operation of the BS2000 system

The customer can program the ATOP to specify which operating functions should

be executed for which conditions.

Examples:

– automatic shutdown of the system in the case of fan failure.

– automatic command entry in reaction to certain BS2000 console messages.



It is possible to connect a radio-controlled clock or Global Time Server (GTS).



On/off facility makes it possible to switch the S140 on and off from the 3970-SKP.
