ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. !!! IMPORTANT INFORMATION !!! ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
20 December 1996.
Due to a change in management direction, the IBM PC Assistant has ceased to
exist as a separate entity. Most of the content is being migrated to a Lotus
Notes database, from which external access will be made available through a
World Wide Web site. The name of this new database, and the URL, are not yet
known at this time. Hopefully all will be made clear in due time.
Because it may be months yet before this database is opened to the public, I
have produced one more PC Assistant edition to partially fill the gap. Because
I only had a few days in which to put it together, many of the new product
announcements since early August, when the last edition was released) are not
included. There are no new technical specs here, and not much else of note
(aside from some new OS/2 Q&As.) added. Most of the changes are in the form of
minor corrections and updates to existing Q&As, and many price reductions and
product withdrawals in the IBM PC Marketing Assistant.
I am sorry for the lengthy delay in releasing this long-overdue edition, but
the new database should be a big improvement in the long run, with a more
worldwide focus (international product models, for example), and more timely
updates (daily perhaps), supported by dozens of people around the world.
It is possible that I will release one final edition after this one, in order
to provide the details of where and how to access the new WWW database. It all
depends on how well publicized it is. But the amount of time and effort put
into it on my part will probably equal that of this edition, so don't expect
too much.
It's been a pleasure and an honor serving you these last 7 years.
Good luck (and watch out for Murphy!).

The IBM PC Server Assistant contains information about the IBM PC Server 300,
500, and 700 series, and PS/2 Server 85, 95, 195, and 295 series of Intel-based
servers, and related network hardware and software products.
OVERVIEW
There are many sources of information available from IBM about IBM PC products,
including announcement letters, service manuals, programming and technical
reference manuals, how-to "cookbooks," electronic bulletin boards (both public
and commercial), and others. The IBM PC Assistant brings much disparate and
often difficult to find information together into one easy-to-use "electronic
book."
Note: As the IBM PC Assistant is a product of the IBM PC Company, the
information contained herein covers the subset of IBM PC products sold by the
IBM PC Company. Most other PC-related products, sold by other IBM companies or
divisions are not included. Such products include the IBM Gearbox industrial
PCs, and certain host-attach hardware and software products. Information on
these products must be obtained from the organizations offering them for sale.

The reason for having a number of different books instead of just one large
one is two-fold. First, there is so much information provided that it might
be awkward to use, and would take longer to search through than smaller books.
And second, by dividing up all of this information into related subject
matter, those who don't need certain categories of information (such as
service tips, for example), can delete entire books to save disk space.
Besides, these files can be logically linked together and viewed or searched
as one large book, at your preference. (This procedure is explained in the
accompanying ASST.TXT file.) For convenience, the files will be collectively
called the "IBM PC Assistant" throughout the rest of this document.
Not only is the information more "centrally located" this way than distributed
across all the individual documents, but due to its electronic nature, the
specific information you seek can be found more quickly and easily. The
source information is compiled into binary files that take roughly half as
much disk space as ASCII files would. And since the compiler also creates a
"data dictionary" of all words and numbers anywhere in the files, all
occurrences can be found and displayed on-screen in only a few seconds via the
search facility provided. In addition, hypertext links (hyperlinks) allow you
to jump from section to section within a book without ever having to return to
the Table of Contents. Hyperlinks are also used to display popup footnote
windows at the point of the footnote reference, rather than making you have to
scroll down to the bottom of a page, or the end of a chapter, to find the
footnoted information.
The IBM PC Assistant is created by compiling a scripted ASCII text file, using
the Information Presentation Facility (IPF) Tag Language and Compiler. They
are included in the OS/2 2.1 or 3.0 Developer's Toolkits, IBM Hyperwise editor
(P/N 30H1731--3.5"), and IBM C Set++ First Step V2.1 (P/N 82G3744--3.5";
82G3746--CD-ROM") packages, among others. The IBM PC Assistant requires OS/2
1.2 or later to operate, because it uses the OS/2 VIEW.EXE command to access
the files. This is the same command used to display the online OS/2 Command
Reference. Since both files were created with the same compiler, and are
displayed by the same command, they look and act very much alike. So if you
know how to use one, you also know how to use the other.
Note: The IBM PC Assistant was tested, and does work, across an OS/2 LAN
Server V1.2 or later network, relieving the need for disk space on the
requester, not to mention not having to keep all those requesters updated with
the latest versions of the IBM PC Assistant books. (For instructions on
Setting Up an OS/2 LAN Server to Share Online Books, see the document by the
same name in the Networking Tips section of the PS Technical Assistant.)
HOW TO USE THE IBM PC ASSISTANT
Note: The following instructions are written for users of the native OS/2
online book version of these publications. Most of the explanations will
apply equally to the World Wide Web version of the books, however some minor
differences may exist.
Before you begin to use this tool, it is helpful to understand how to:
Expand the Contents to see all available topics
Obtain additional information for a highlighted word or phrase
Use action bar choices.
How to use the Table of Contents
When the Contents window first appears, some topics have a plus (+) sign
beside them. The plus sign indicates that additional topics are available.
To expand the Contents if you are using a mouse, click on the plus sign. If
you are using the keyboard, use the Up or Down Arrow key to highlight the
topic, and press the plus (+) key. For example, Part Number / Pricing /
Availability List has a plus sign beside it. To see the complete list of Part
Numbers, etc, click on the plus sign or highlight that topic and press the
plus (+) key.
To view a topic, double-click on the topic (or press the Up or Down Arrow key
to highlight the topic, and then press the Enter key).
Note: To exit from any panel (window), including this one, simply press the
ESC key, or double-click on the icon to the left of the panel title bar (NOT
the one to the left of the IBM PC Assistant title bar, or you will close the
IBM PC Assistant). This will return you to the point from which you entered
the panel (either the Table Of Contents or another panel). This may be done a
number of times in succession to step back through layers of panels, or until
the TOC is reached.
How to obtain additional information
After you select a topic, the information for that topic appears in a window.
Words, phrases, or numbers highlighted like this or this indicate that
additional information is available, either in the form of a footnote, or
sometimes an entire section. Hyperlinks are used in some areas to help you
jump from one section of a document directly to another, without having to
return to a menu. (If you don't find this color to be easily identifiable as a
hyperlink, you may change the color, as described below.) Use the mouse, or
Tab and Enter keys, to move between all the hyperlinks within a document. For
example:
Certain words in the following section are highlighted in this way. If you
are using a mouse, double-click on the highlighted words. If you are using a
keyboard, press the Tab key to move from one highlighted word to the next, (or
Shift-Tab to backup) and then press the Enter key. Additional information
will appear in a pop-up window.
Note: The windows that pop up when you double-click on a hypertext link are
sizable. Simply drag the sides or corners of the windows to the desired size
and shape, just as you would any other PM window.
Note: Headings are assigned the color red throughout the IBM PC Assistant.
The Change Bars (|), which indicate additions or revisions since the last
release of the IBM PC Assistant, are also highlighted in red to make them
easier to find. (All other colors are as set by your OS/2 Control Panel (OS/2
1.x), or Scheme Palette (OS/2 2.x) selections. If a color, or combination of
colors, is not to your liking, you may change them to something more pleasing.
The operative choices are: Help Text, Help Background, and Help Highlight.)
Tip: An easy way to find ALL changes since the last version is to Search for
the Change Bar character. This can be typed by holding the Shift key while
typing the backslash key (on U.S. English 101-key keyboards--other keyboards
may differ).
How to use the Action Bar options
A number of choices are available for managing information presented in the
IBM PC Assistant. If you want to see more information about these choices,
click on the name of the choice (or press the Tab key to move to the choice
and press Enter).
Search
Allows you to find occurrences of a word or phrase in the current topic,
selected topics, or all topics. (This choice is available from the
Services pull-down.)
Print
Allows you to print one or more topics. (This choice is available from
the Services pull-down.)
Copy
Allows you to copy a topic you are viewing to a file you can edit. (This
choice is available from the Services pull-down.)
Options
Allows you to change the way your Table of Contents is displayed.
Bookmark (This choice is available from the Contents pull-down.)
Allows you to set a placeholder so you can retrieve information of
interest to you. (This choice is available from the Services pull-down.)
Help
Provides online help panels for using the Help facility.
How to use the Push Buttons
The Search, Print, and Index push buttons arrayed across the bottom of the
panel duplicate the functions of the same-name Action Bar options. In
addition there are buttons marked Previous, Contents, Back, and Forward.
Previous simply steps you back through the series of panels you have just
looked at, in the reverse order of how you originally looked at them. By
contrast, Back, uses the Table of Contents to step backward through all the
sections listed in the TOC, in reverse order, from the current section.
Forward, naturally, steps you forward through all the TOC entries. And
Contents pops the TOC list on top of whatever panel you are currently viewing.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6. Now an Online Database on CompuServe and the WWW ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
If you know any users of IBM PC-related products who could benefit from the
information in the IBM PC Assistant, but who are not OS/2 users, another
alternative is the searchable databases on CompuServe and the World Wide Web.
The IBM PC Assistant Database on CompuServe, which contains most of the
information in the various IBM PC Assistant books in an ASCII format (so no
hyperlinks or bitmap images), can be reached with the GO word PCASSIST. (You
also can reach it via GO IBM, then select the Technical Services and Support,
and IBM PC Assistant Database menu options.) Of course, this only helps
CompuServe users, but it allows users of almost any operating system to access
the data via CompuServe.
The latest addition is a World Wide Web version of the IBM PC Assistant that is
be accessible from any of the online services, as well as directly. Because it
uses an INF-to-HTML conversion tool to create the web page, it looks just like
the INF files in terms of the structure (data organization, pushbutton
placement, etc.). Hyperlinks work like they do on other web pages. The only
limitation is that the imbedded bitmap images from the INF file are not
available in the HTML version. Otherwise it should work exactly like the INF
version. To see it, point your browser to the Team-OS/2 web page at
http://www.teamos2.org/ibm/os2support/. There is a link near the top of that
page to Online BOOKS and NEWSLETTERS. (There are quite a few other books to
choose from on that web page.) Or go directly to:

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.2. Industry Reviews: Servers ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
A sampling of industry praise bestowed on IBM Servers:
Quotes
IBM servers in general
"Internetworking, client/server and the Internet make 1995 memorable. IBM,
No. 2 with $4.05 billion in combined revenue for its Unix and PC servers,
refocused efforts on industry-standard PC servers in 1995 and moved to
Peripheral Component Interface." (Computer Reseller News, 03Jun96)
PC Servers
"Unmatched expansion, pre-failure analysis, and outstanding performance make
the IBM [PC Server] 520 a winner." (SCO World, May96)
"[B]ig time performance in a very flexible system design makes the [PC
Server] 320 the best system for large work group or mission-critical LAN
installations, or where server response is a must." (Communications Week
Magazine, 08Jan96)
"The ... IBM PC Server 500 combines excellent performance, great components,
and expandability with comprehensive installation utilities. Geared as an
enterprise server, the unit is flexible enough to adapt to many
environments.... The PC Server 500's throughput placed it near the top of
the group.... Its Fast/Wide disks and controllers undoubtedly helped it
performance. It also had low CPU utilization. IBM offers ServerGuide with
its PC Servers. It is a bootable CD, comparable to Compaq's SmartStart,
that provides easy installation of network operating systems: NetWare 3.12
or 4.02 or IBM OS/2 2.11, as well as NetFinity 2.01, IBM's server management
software. ...ServerGuide also assists you in tuning your server for optimal
performance as an application or database server, file server, multimedia
server, or general-purpose server. IBM offers clear documentation in
several manuals and in the ServerGuide." [Comparison of departmental file
servers from 14 companies] (Padraic R. Boyle, PC Magazine, 27Jun95)
"[T]he IBM PC Server 300 is the lowest-priced machine we tested. It doesn't
skimp on performance or features.... A competitive performer with superb
network-management capabilities, the inexpensive PC Server 300 has plenty to
recommend it. IBM's server-management software, NetFinity, Version 2.01,
comes with the PC Server 300. NetFinity supports many high-end server-and
workstation-monitoring features. [These include] SNMP ..., remote
management, support for OS/2, support for NetWare 3.1x servers and Microsoft
Windows 3.1 clients, and the ability to send alerts to a pager in the event
of a failure.... IBM has also licensed a copy of Diagsoft's QAPlus/PRO,
Version 5.2, a systems diagnostic program, and integrated it into NetFinity
to assist you in troubleshooting any possible conflicts or hardware
problems." [Comparison of 7 workgroup servers from AST, Compaq, Dell, HP,
IBM, and Tangent] (Padraic R. Boyle, PC Magazine, 28Mar95)
"The PC Server [300] ... is ... the first IBM server based on the
industry-standard EISA bus.... [T]he system combines solid performance with
an attractive price. Because the PC Server design includes PCI slots, it
has the potential to raise throughput to a new level by taking advantage of
the high-performance bus. The PC Server is an excellent value for a small
to medium-size network. This is a promising start for IBM's venture into
the PCI/EISA world." (Mark Jonikas, PC Magazine, 11Oct94)
"At long last, buyers who want a server that complies with industry hardware
standards can consider something from Big Blue. Not only does IBM's new PC
Server [300] offer solid performance, it also uses an EISA and PCI ...
internal bus design. Based on PC Week Labs testing, this server offers
solid performance benefits and should easily keep pace with technological
advances. By introducing PC Server, IBM has divided its server product line
into two categories: a Micro Channel architecture bus design for high-end
application servers and interconnected networks, and an EISA-PCI bus design
for low-end file and print servers. Designed to accommodate networks with
from five to 50 local and remote nodes, PC Server is targeted at small to
medium-sized offices, departments, and workgroups that need a low-end file
or print server. ...PC Server displayed solid, stable, predictable
performance, on a par with that provided by HP's NetServer LF." (Anatoliy
Nosovitskiy, PC Week Magazine, 22Aug94)
PS/2 Servers
"IBM's PS/2 Server 85 466 ran within 4 percent of the speed-leader ... and
tied for top scores in expandability, documentation, system design, and
support policies. The PS/2 Server 85 466 was the fastest server we tested
when supporting 10 to 20 workstations." [Comparison of Acer, Compaq, Dell,
HP, IBM, and Micron low-cost servers] (InfoWorld Magazine, p. 114, 23May94)
"[The Pentium PS/2 Server 95 is among] the best-supported servers. Top
performer in workgroups of four users or fewer. [In network performance
testing, it outperformed the ALR Evolution VQ 66MHz, the Compaq Proliant
1000 5/60, and was 10% faster than the baseline Acer Altos 7000.]"
(Shyamala Reddy PC/Computing Magazine, Jun94)
"A natural choice for hosting mission-critical networked database
applications. The IBM PS/2 Server 95 Array belongs on every system
manager's short list." ( Julian Evans, PC Magazine UK, Dec93)
"IBM's new Micro Channel Pentium [PS/2] Server 95 systems are an impressive
range of high end servers which really do deliver terrific and consistent
performance right through the test suite. IBM has really done much to
regain its position as the leading server manufacturer with the launch of
this new range. We were also impressed by the level of support that IBM
provided with the server. The PS/2 95 really excelled in scale-ability when
the going got tough. The disk subsystem was particularly good at handling
random database files, and provided exceptional performance in the
sequential read/write tests which really push the disk to the fore. Inside
the machine is solidly built and the attention to detail is impressive....
Sequential Read/Write: The IBM does extremely well here, scaling well and
outperforming the competition by some considerable margin...." (LAN
Magazine, Nov93)
"[I]ts initial Pentium machine, the IBM PS/2 Server 95, takes a rightful
place as one of the leaders on the new CPU platform. The high-scoring IBM
server is designed and built for lasting performance. The 66-MHz
Pentium-based [Micro Channel Architecture] bus system is at the top of the
PS/2 Server 95 line. Indicative of this system's design quality, almost all
component modules can be removed without tools. Another design nicety is a
clear plastic guard that slides down over the case's front-mounted power
switch in order to pretect against inadvertent power interruptions. IBM
uses its own processor board [and] SCSI-2 Fast/Wide hard disk controller and
video adapter. These in-house components, plus a Maxtor 540MB 9-millisecond
SCSI-2 hard disk with its own 512K disk cache, led the IBM unit to very high
scores on our benchmark tests. The unit led the pack with its processor
scores. The IBM PS/2 Server 95 is the first PC to break the barrier of 30
million operations per second. [And] the ... 95 performed extremely well on
our Windows disk tests. On our network tests, the system came equipped with
four IBM MCA Token-Ring cards, which the company calls "streamers."
"Screamers" would have been just as appropriate; in I/O throughput--the true
measure of a server--the IBM PS/2 Server 95 led the way. [A]s a file server
the ... 95's MCA-based system shines, both in terms of performance and
construction. The IBM PS/2 Server 95 takes the lead in processing power and
overall throughput.... This is not only a quality product, but signals
IBM's return to the realm of technology leader, not laggard." [Comparison of
7 Pentium systems.] (Bruce Brown, PC Magazine, 29Jun93)

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7.4. Industry Reviews: Network Hardware ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
A sampling of industry praise bestowed on IBM networking adapters and options:
Quotes
Ethernet Network Adapters
"IBM's line of PCI Ethernet Adapters may lead the way toward inexpensive
distributed computing. The IBM PCI Ethernet Adapter is a 32-bit,
bus-mastering network interface card (NIC) capable of handling high-end PCI
systems on a 10Mbps Ethernet network. The accompanying disk includes NDIS
and ODI drivers, and network support for NetWare, LAN Server, LAN Manager,
Windows for Workgroups, VINES, LANtastic, NT Server, and Windows 95. The
RJ-45 connector lets you attach to a twisted-pair Ethernet. Bus mastering
can be important for high-end PCs to perform at optimum levels. Bus
mastering makes it possible for the CPU to perform other processing
activities while a data transfer is being executed. In data-transfer
operations, it was difficult to tell which information came from the local
hard drive, and which came from a remote drive across the network."
(Computer Shopper Magazine, p. 606, Mar96)
"Some of you report network performance anomalies similar to those that
[Wesley] Irish attributes to long-standing bugs in popular Ethernet chips.
Sometimes, under heavy load, these bugs space packets too closely and lose
them silently. [Ethernet "elders"] ... have traced some of these
performance problems back to familiar interpacket gap bugs in some Ethernet
chips from SEEQ Technology Inc., Intel Corp., and Advanced Micro Devices
Inc. The elders spoke highly of IBM's PCMCIA Ethernet adapters, which
manage to receive packets despite gaps shortened by other chips." (Bob
Metcalfe, InfoWorld Magazine, 14Mar94)
Multi-station Access Units (MAUs)
"It really was, to coin a phrase, a LAN-slide for IBM. But, it's not really
a surprise, IBM has won five years in a row in this general category. No
other company has won our award." [Upon presenting IBM with Readers' Choice
awards for both the 8228 and 8230 products.] (Susan Brodereich, LAN Times
Magazine, 11May95)
"Net managers are used to making trade-offs, but when it comes to security,
halfway measures lead nowhere. Early last year, IBM eliminated any need for
compromise when it delivered its Network Security Program (NetSP), the first
security product to combine the simplicity of single sign-on with password
encryption and third-party user authentication..." (Data Communications,
Jan95)
Nways
"The IBM 2210 Nways Multiprotocol Router fielded nearly 3,000 SNA sessions
in our tests (and may be capable of handling yet higher levels in live
production networks), while turning in stellar results in our prioritization
tests. The big plus is price. [I]t's the least expensive router we tested.
All we can say is that the 3,000-session figure shouldn't be taken as a
absolute maximum. The 2210 also turned in nearly flawless scores in our
prioritization tests, coming closer than any other router to hitting our
target bandwidth utilization levels." (Data Communications Magazine, Jul96)
"Hybrid frame/cell switching offers compelling performance to wide-area net
managers with the right blend of traffic, bandwidth constraints and a
willingness to run private leased lines. Only two vendors support hybrid
switching: IBM and Northern telecom, Inc." (Michael Csenger, Network World,
26Jun95)
"Big Blue is one of but a few companies whose products can simultaneously
support variable-length data packets and switched Asynchronous Transfer
Mode-based cells. Its Nways ATM product line lets users integrate Systems
Network Architecture, LAN, voice and video on the enterprise backbone."
(Michael Cooney, Network World, 26Jun95)
Printers
For reviews of IBM network printers, refer to the IBM PC Options Assistant.
Token-Ring Network Products
The IBM Auto LANStreamer PCI Adapter won Network Computing's Editor's Choice
award "because of its excellent throughput and consistently low CPU
utilization. LANStreamer used only 5 percent of CPU resources when accessed
by six Pentium 90-MHz clients running Perform3 with various file sizes.
Only at the 64-byte file size did the CPU utilization rise to 38 percent,
but it still had the highest throughput, which is critical for a
server-based adapter." (Jay Milne, Network Computing, 13Feb96)
"[S]witching was the main theme at the third NetWorld+Interop show.... "The
Grand Winner (was) IBM's 8272 LAN Streamer Switch. IBM kicks off The Year
of the Token-Ring Switch with a market-leading entry that boasts ASIC-based
cut-through switching, easy installation and configuration and full-duplex
support -- all for an impressive $700 per port...." (LAN Times Magazine,
10Apr95)
"IBM did not disappoint.... LANstreamer [MC 32 Adapter/A] stands as IBM's
most impressive technology entry of the year." (Data Communications
Magazine, 21Jan94)
"The original proponent of Token-Ring networks, IBM has by far the broadest,
most complete Token-Ring product line on the market today. IBM is one of
the few vendors that can provide a complete line of Token-Ring products,
from bridges and routers to multistation access units, printer-sharing
units, and adapters for a slew of IBM platforms. What's more, IBM can
provide the expertise needed to wrap up all those elements into a cohesive
network." (M. Keith Thompson, PC Magazine, 13Oct92)
TurboWays 25-Mbps ATM
"Conventional wisdom has it that ATM must thrive on the campus backbone
before it arrives on the desktop. IBM thinks it can start end-to-end ATM by
making net managers an offer they can't refuse: 25.6-Mbit/s Turboways ATM
adapters for ISA workstations at $405 a pop -- $30 less than it charges for
16-Mbit/s token ring ISA cards. But when it comes to the industry's first
25-Mbit/s ATM adapter, Big Blue has more going for it than bargain prices.
Turboways adapter makes migration easy. Free LAN emulation software lets
net managers run current applications unaltered over ATM..." (Data
Communications, Jan95)
Wireless LAN Adapters
"IBM last week unveiled a slew of wireless cards for portable PCs at Mobile
95 ... instantly giving Big Blue the broadest array of peripherals for
untethered communications. ...IBM's new portfolio of modems and LAN cards
represents the first substantial multinetwork offering of PCMCIA-based
wireless devices." (Jeffrey Schwartz, Network World Magazine, 20Mar95)

A sampling of industry praise bestowed on IBM Network software products:
Quotes
Adstar Distributed Storage Manager/2
"IBM's Adstar Distributed Storage Manager/2 brigs industrial strength backup
to the enterprise. The ... package offers flexible scheduling options so
managers can tune backup strategies to fit their users' needs. Addressing
the variety of platforms residing on networks today, ADSM/2 offers
impressive coverage of multiple clients. Because of its broad
operating-system and protocol support, one ADSM/2 server can service the
heterogeneous LAN with few compromises. Also, because it lets sites
centralize their enterprise backup, IS managers can improve their monitoring
and control of this crucial aspect of network operation. Highly automated
file migration and tape management minimize the interaction required with
the ADSM/2 system, a real boon to managers with overextended staff
resources." (PC Week Magazine, 18Jul94)
AttachPak for OS/2 Warp Connect
"[IBM's] AttachPak [for OS/2 Warp Connect] is a good value for OS/2 users in
enterprise networks.... IBM's familiar Personal Communications/3270 for
OS/2 appears here.... AttachPak also offers Lotus Notes Desktop, an upgrade
to Lotus Notes Express, which ships with OS/2 Warp Connect. Mobile File
Sync ... is analogous to the Windows 95 Briefcase and may be the best reason
to buy AttachPak. System Performance Monitor/2 graphs CPU, RAM, and disk
utilization in real time.... AttachPak's Communications Manager/2 SNA
Application Environment offers low-cost ... [SNA] applications and
development capabilities, and AnyNet Sockets enables your sockets
applications to communicate independently of network transport protocols.
The [DCE] client gives OS/2 Warp Connect users access to DCE-compliant
services and tools for MVS, AIX, and other vendor environments. The DCE
client is especially important, because DCE will be a key option [in] OS/2
Warp Server...." (Douglas A. Zelinka, InfoWorld Magazine 27Nov95)
Bridge Manager/6000
Bridge Manager/6000 "was the only router-management package of the four
tested to demonstrate consistently good performance by earning at least
three stars [out of a possible 5] in each test phase [and four stars
overall]. Cisco's package offers more functionality, but IBM's mix of
features and lower cost makes it the best bet among router-management
products tested." (Communications Week, 11Apr94)
DatagLANce
"OS/2 lovers now have a protocol analyzer they can sink their teeth into.
IBM's DatagLANce is a combination network monitor and protocol analyzer
aimed at high-end LAN analyzers like Network General's Sniffer and [HP's]
Network Advisor. It's a worthy competitor, cost effective, and its smart
statistics stand out."' (Network Computing Magazine, Oct94)
"When it comes to IBM's DatagLANce network protocol analyzer, IBM has put
together a superior product. This software-only analyzer can even go head
to head with Network General Corp's Sniffer and best the old workhorse on
several counts. With DatagLANce it is easy to bring up a variety of windows
and navigate about troubleshooting a problem. You don't need much training,
and the windows are uncluttered and come up quickly. I found a few nice
features that match or rival many of the top analyzers on the market....
[Great protocol decodes, flexible displays, playback network-trace files,
descriptions of packets captured, etc.] Overall, DatagLANce is a superior
piece of software.... The way this product plays off the graphical OS/2
environment and its solid support for protocol decodes makes it a winner."
(Communications Week Magazine, 22Aug94)
"[F]or net managers committed to carrying multiprotocol traffic over FDDI
networks [IBM's DatagLANce LAN analyzer] furnishes a very strong helping
hand." (Data Communications Magazine, 21Jan94)
Directory and Security Services
[Directory and Security Services (DSS) for OS/2 LAN Server 4.0] "is a really
good implementation of DCE (Distributed Computing Environment) from a major
vendor. The offering helps further validate DCE as an important
technology." (Bob Sakakeeny, Aberdeen Group analyst, quoted in Network World
Magazine, 13Nov95)
Internet Connection 1.1 Secure Server
"IBM makes an excellent Web server for Warp [IBM Internect Connection 1.1
Secure Server for OS/2 Warp]." (Eamonn Sullivan, PC Week Magazine 30Oct95)
LAN Distance
"Well-priced ... for a software-only ... license ... IBM LAN Distance is an
OS/2-based remote-access server that runs on a nondedicated OS/2-configured
PC. It supports OS/2- and Windows-based clients on ... NetWare, ... Windows
for Workgroups, and ... LANtastic networks. LAN Distance does have some
unique security features, independent hardware support, graphical client and
server interfaces, and flexible multiprotocol support. It is the only
remote-node server in this roundup to take advantage of OS/2's powerful
32-bit [multitasking] capabilities. LAN Distance works with any
promiscuous-mode Ethernet or Token-Ring network adapter that supports ...
NDIS ... and any I/O card that includes a device driver to communicate with
the NDIS API. Remote-client security is one of LAN Distance's strong
points. LAN Distance provides pass phrases, encryption, log-on limits,
filters, and physical-unit IDs. Similar to DCA's Remote LAN Node Turnkey
Server, the LAN Distance function as a MAC ... bridge. [It] works with IPX,
TCP/IP, NetBEUI, NetBIOS, and VINES protocols.... If you need a strong
32-bit multitasking access server for your OS/2 remote-node clients, IBM LAN
Distance is probably your best choice." (Steve Rigney, PC Magazine, Aug94)
Lotus Notes
"With a more powerful server engine, easier-to-use development tools, and a
pleasantly improved interface, the new [Lotus] Notes [4.0] is also better at
what it has always done best--hosting group applications that keep critical
information moving... Notes' competitors have more catching up to do than
ever." (PC World Magazine, p. 114, Aug96)
"Microsoft Corp.'s ... Exchange is often compared with Lotus Notes; some
speculate that Exchange will give Notes serious competition and may even
finish it off. But the reality is that Exchange does not replace Notes and
has a long way to go before it can do so, if it ever does." (Andre Kvitka,
InfoWorld Magazine, 08Apr96)
"Lotus has given the pioneering groupware technology a compelling facelift,
with a streamlined user interface and development environment. Notes [4.0]
also has powerful new programming, administration, and Internet Tools.
What's more, advanced replication, security, and cross-platform capabilities
make Notes 4.0 the standard that other groupware vendors will now have to
match or beat. Notes may still have its idiosyncrasies, but release 4.0
goes a long way toward reaching the mass audience its developers envisioned.
By standardizing on a BASIC familiar to millions of Visual Basic
programmers, enhancing Notes' lead in replication and cross-platform
development, and adding a mature groupware product to the Web equation,
Lotus and IBM have taken giant steps in cementing Notes' role in the next
evolution of computing." (Steve Gillmor, Byte Magazine, Apr96)
"Lotus Notes is much more than an enterprise-wide mail server. It is the
standard against which every groupware product on the market measures
itself, and features a database server and document management server with
programming support as well as workflow capabilities that are the envy of
its competitors. Matching Notes' features is tough enough, but when you
consider the third-party support for Notes, as well as the number of client
and server platforms supported by this product, then its stature is even
more impressive." (Communications Week, p. 51, 26Feb96)
"The long-awaited Release 4.0 of [Lotus'] Notes groupware package is worth
the wait. The product has a dramatically improved user interface,
centralized management features, enhanced messaging capabilities, more
development tools, and better support for mobile users. Notes 4.0 is a
must-have upgrade. Lotus has also widened Notes' lead over comparable
products from Microsoft ... and Novell.... Prices ... have been reduced
substantially.... As it has done with cc:Mail, Lotus has added many
document viewers to Notes 4.0. This meant we could double-click on a
document's attachments and view them quickly.... The addition of folders to
compartmentalize data will help reduce the overwhelming clutter of a large
database. By adopting cc:Mail's look and feel, the messaging services in
Notes 4.0 make a quantum leap over the anemic 3.x offerings. Users ... will
like being able to include document links, such as a pointer to a Notes
database or a World-Wide Web page, as part of Notes mail messages. When
recipients click on the link, they are transported directly to the
referenced document." (Matt Kramer, PC Week, 19Feb96)
NetFinity
"IBM's entry into multiplatform desktop network management may have escaped
your attention. However with Version 3.0 of its NetFinity product ... there
is finally something to look at. NetFinity's strength is that it provides
information for all operating systems and protocols in a similar format,
making it easy for time-pressed network managers to get the information they
require. Buy it!" (InfoWorld Magazine, 22Sep95)
NetView
"By the end of 1994, NetView had the most supporting applications, edging
out HP's OpenView and Sun's SunNet Manager." (Elinor Pederson, Midrange
Systems Magazine, 14Apr95)
OS/2 LAN Server and OS/2 Requesters
"The real muscle in [LAN Server 4.0] is its object-oriented, drag-and-drop
GUI. Installation has been streamlined with a self-configuring setup option
for standard environments and a customized configuration option. IBM also
added a single logon and centralized administration for easy management...."
(LAN Magazine, 28Mar95)
"For a server with a single CPU and 800 equivalent users, LAN Server [4.0]
Advanced was 38% faster than Windows NT [Advanced] Server [3.5] and 11%
faster than NetWare [4.02]. Surprisingly, LAN Server Advanced with a single
CPU was 10% faster than Windows NT Server on a server with dual-CPUs for the
same equivalent 800 users. LAN Server has the best performance at every
load point from 200 to 800 equivalent users. LAN Server Entry provides very
good performance for the small to medium network (20 - 80 users)." (LANQuest
Labs, Nov94)
"[Analysts] agree [that LAN Server 4.0] has become a robust Netware
Alternative." (Information Week, p. 24, 10Oct94)
"There is no greater decision that many users will make next year than
selecting their organization's next-generation LAN operating system. An
astonishing number of organizations are now waiting, watching, and
window-shopping for what will become their next network operating system
[NOS].... Why is everybody getting antsy? It's because the [NOS] is no
longer just a departmental plaything. It has skyrocketed in importance in
just the last few years. In many organizations it's become the centerpiece
of their information technology strategy.... But is it just a two-horse
race? Are Novell, Inc.'s next NetWare (4.x) and Microsoft's next NT (3.5)
the only real competitors? I think not. And I sincerely hope not. Two
vendors does not a competition make. There needs to be at least one more.
And I think IBM's reworked [NOS]--in the form of LAN Server 4.0--is the most
likely serious contender...." (Information Week, p. 25, 03Oct94)
"Users who tested an early version of [LAN Server 4.0] praise its simplicity
and easy administration as well as its built-in peer-to-peer networking
capabilities." (Information Week, p. 20, 03Oct94)
IBM OS/2 Warp Server
"With Warp Server, IBM provides a one-step installation integrating OS/2
Warp and LAN Server 4.0. IBM also includes a plethora of other products,
including SystemView and LAN Distance, making this potentially one of the
most comprehensive network-server products on the market. Warp Server
installation is faster and easier than prior versions. Warp Server
maintains LAN Server's multiple-domain support, but two other IBM products
will be of interest to those in charge of large sites. Warp Server works
with IBM's [DSS, DCE and DSOM] products. DSS provides directory services
comparable to Novell ... [NDS] and Banyan ... Vines. DCE and DSOM provide
client/server programming. Warp Server's new bundled capabilities bring it
in line with the other major network operating systems. For instance,
backup support is now a major component, and it not only generates
[SIDF]-compliant tapes, but it's also compatible with IBM's [ADSM]--a major
plus in large networks. The product encompasses all aspects of server
operation and support, making it an ideal platform for both file and print
services as well as application services. Even without symmetrical
multiprocessing--scheduled for the next update--Warp Server is a true
competitor among today's top server environments." (William Wong,
Communications Week, 15Apr96)
"When it comes to raw performance in a 100M-bps network environment, NetWare
takes a back seat to OS/2 Warp Server.... IBM's Warp Server 4 elbowed out
Novell ... NetWare 4.1 SMP as the fastest file and print services NOS....
Utilizing NetBench ... Warp Server beat Windows NT Server by up to 26
percent in our file and print services tests running on our 100M-bps Fast
Ethernet network. Warp Server had a peak performance of 56M bps, compared
with Windows NT's maximum of 44M bps.... This is particularly significant
considering that the SMP ... compliant Windows NT Server was running in
quad-processor mode.... Yet it was unable to keep up with Warp Server
running in a single-processor configuration. (Michael Surkan, PC Week,
01Apr96)
"PC Week Labs' testing of network operating systems uncovered some problems
concerning 100M-bps networking in both NetWare and Windows NT. OS/2 Warp
Server offered the least-frustrating transition to switched Fast Ethernet.
[W]e experienced a dramatic increase in throughput across all operating
systems, with Warp improving a shocking 170 percent." (Mark Stanczak, PC
Week, 01Apr96)
"Warp Server combines the best features of both LAN Server and OS/2 Warp,
including a GUI interface, generous interconnectivity and back-end services,
and 32-bit preemptive multitasking." (VAR Business, p. 35, 01Dec95)
"Warp Server is a bright light in the application server arena. IBM has
improved its previously dismal installation to the point that it is
essentially automatic (and) improved its management tools so that they're
largely intuitive..." [Overall score: A-] (CommunicationsWeek, 02Oct95)
"OS/2 Warp Server's main advantage over Windows NT Server is its powerful
use of objects in the OS Workplace Shell to perform drag-and-drop
administrative tasks. Warp Server also contains rock-solid multitasking and
bundling of key system management services." (Douglas Zelinka, InfoWorld
Magazine, 02Oct95)
"After looking at IBM's plans for the server market, it's clear that
Microsoft won't be sleeping easy. Adding considerable functionality is the
fact that Warp Server uses the capability developed for Warp Connect to
communicate with both Novell Inc. and Microsoft networks on their own terms.
Some new tools add to Warp Server's ease of use. For example there's a
backup and recovery utility called PSNS that uses a plumbing approach with
pipes and valves on the screen.... It sounds weird, but surprisingly
intuitive.... There's a vastly improved print manager that automatically
handles translations between PostScript and non-Postscript printing. It
also can direct print jobs to mainframe printers and run high-speed,
industrial strength printers at full speed.... Warp Server correctly
identified the hardware suites we tried it on, including network and video
cards that had stumped its predecessor.... Windows95 client installs using
the Windows add-software function. Warp Server could be a real winner for
IBM and a solid answer to companies that need a stable OS/2 application
platform." (Wayne Rash, CommunicationsWeek, 25Sep95)
Person To Person/2
"[IBM Person to Person/2 is] an easy system to use, containing everything
you'd need to interact effectively with colleagues in remote places. [It]
is not the slickest product on the market, but a great deal of time and
money has gone into its multi-way conversation facilities. [It's] an easy
system to use.... Running under OS/2 or Windows, P2P is virtually platform
independent. [P2P] provides excellent multi-way, multi-protocol,
multi-platform data sharing across PSTN, ISDN or LAN." (PC Magazine, U.K.
Oct94)
"IBM's Person to Person/2 is an OS/2 program that lets you create a
realtime, extended computer conference. It works over ISDN or asynchronous
connections, and with ... NetBIOS, TCP/IP, and NetWare 3.1x LANs. With the
appropriate hardware you can even add video conferencing to the process.
[P2P] is actually a collection of tools. The Chalkboard, arguably the most
used module, is an electronic whiteboard. You can paste text and graphics
from virtually any OS/2, DOS, or Windows application into the Chalkboard for
all to see. A Mirror function keeps the Chalkboard image up to date should
the actual data of the source application change. The Talk tool is similar
to a "chat" session on a BBS. It has the added advantage that a log is kept
of everything being "said." The File Transfer tool moves files from one
system to another.... [P2P's] Video tool adds a tremendous sense of
immediacy and vitality to the conferencing process. Using an IBM
ActionMedia Display Adapter and a video camera, you can send and receive
live video, or share captured images via the Chalkboard or Clip utility.
Even without an ActionMedia card, you can receive video using software
emulation. [T]he ability to collaborate through a network and even
cross-country, with or without video, has the potential of being a real
productivity booster." (Dennis Fowler and Esther Schindler, Computer Shopper
Magazine, Mar94)
TCP/IP
"Do you want to create a super networked client that can connect to TCP,
NetWare, and NetBEUI networks concurrently? You can. Indeed, IBM's own
TCP/IP [for OS/2] software ... is one of the best such products on any
operating system." (David Strom, InfoWorld, 06Dec93)
"We installed and configured IBM's TCP/IP, Version 2.0 for OS/2 to work with
NetWare and LAN Server requesters. And try as we might to get results to
the contrary, practically everything went smoothly. Sigh. What fun is
that? Do you have any idea how difficult it is for three cynics to write
about success? We reboot the system. To our surprise and delight, the
machine loads all the NetWare requester drivers without a single hitch. No
fussing with the NET.CFG file. No tricks with the PROTOCOL.INI file. Not
even a single line of CONFIG.SYS file tweaking. It just works. And
although we haven't had time to benchmark, it sure looks like TCP/IP,
Version 2.0 for OS/2 runs significantly faster using IBM's NDIS driver than
when we were using Novell's ODINSUP driver." (Nicholas Petreley, Nancy
Durlester, Laura Wonnacott, InfoWorld Magazine, 11Oct93)

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8.1.1. Network Adapter Compatibility/Installation Q&As ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Q. I just installed an IBM Auto 16/4 Token-Ring Adapter in my PC 300/700 (or
plug-and-play PS/ValuePoint) system, and it was configured as an alternate
adpter, rather than the primary one. What's wrong?
A. The adapter was designed to be configured automatically by a
Plug-and-Play-enabled operating system. As yet there aren't any available.
This causes problems. The solution, until the operating systems are available,
is to use the latest version of the adapter device driver (1.2 or later), which
can be found on the diskette that comes with the adapter, or downloaded from
the IBM PC Company BBS. If for some reason this doesn't immediately help, run
the IBM-PNP.BAT program from Diskette 1 (likewise on the adapter diskettes),
which allows you to configure the adapter as either primary or alternate.
Q. I just installed an IBM Auto 16/4 Token-Ring Adapter in my PC 300/700 (or
plug-and-play PS/ValuePoint), and manually configured it with LANAID (or
LANAIDC). But now the adapter settings (RAM/ROM address, IRQ,
Primary/Alternate, etc.) have been changed. What happened?
A. LANAID and LANAIDC were designed to help configure Token-Ring adapters that
are not self-configuring. But a plug-and-play adapter in a plug-and-play
system, with a plug and play operating system, is self configuring. So there
should be no need to run these programs. Just let the P-n-P feature do the
work. If, for some reason, you must manually configure the adapter, make sure
you use the latest version of LANAID (1.3 or later), which supports manual
configuration of P-n-P adapters. It too can be found on the IBM PC Company
BBS.
Q. I'm trying to use an IBM Auto 16/4 Token-Ring Adapter in a Dock I docking
station attached to my ThinkPad 360, but the system hangs whenever I run
LANAID. What's wrong?
A. Make sure you use the latest version of LANAID (1.2 or later), which
corrects this problem. It can be found on the IBM PC Company BBS, as well as
on the Internet at ftp.pcco.ibm.com.
Q. I'm trying to use an IBM Auto 16/4 Token-Ring Adapter in a Dock II docking
station attached to my ThinkPad, but when I boot up I get an "Adapter not
installed" message. What's wrong?
A. Contact the Options By IBM (OBI) hotline (800-IBM-7299) for assistance with
this problem.
Q. How do I find the 12 digit hexadecimal address of a Micro Channel Token-Ring
adapter?
A. Boot to the system's Reference Diskette and go into Advanced Diagnostics
(CTL-A). Run the diagnostic test on the Token-Ring adapter. Detailed
information about the adapter, including its adapter address, will be
displayed.
Q. How do I find the adapter address for my PC Network Broadband or PC Network
Baseband adapter?
A. Boot to the Adapter Diagnostics diskette which comes with the PC Network
adapter. Run the Transmit and Receive Test. When the test is complete, the
adapter's address will be displayed.
Q. Which Remote Program Load (RPL) chip do I need for my Token-Ring adapter?
A. The 24-pin RPL chip (P/N 83X7839) is used for the original Token-Ring
Adapter, and Token-Ring Adapter II. The 28-pin RPL chip (25F8887) is for the
Token-Ring Adapter/A, Token-Ring 16/4 Adapter, and Token-Ring 16/4 Adapter/A.
Newer TRN cards have built-in RPL features.
Q. What are the distance limitations for Token-Ring networks?
A. The maximum distance a Token-Ring network can span depends on several
variables:
The number of MAUs
The number of wiring closets
The type of cabling
The data rate
Because each network has a unique combination of these variables, there is no
single answer to this question. But the Token-Ring Introduction and Planning
Guide (IBM Form Number GA27-3677) includes charts that will help pinpoint the
answer for your specific installation.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8.1.2. DOS PC LAN Requester Q&As ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Q. Why is it that sometimes my DOS LAN Requester using DOS 5.0 is not able to
execute any EXE or COM files that are loaded from a PCLP DOS 5.0 server? The
DOS LAN Requester is at CSD level 5015 and the PCLP 1.34 system is at the
latest level of code. The DLR system can access the 'Net Shared' resource, it
can perform a 'DIR' and even copy the file to the 'local' hard drive. But,
when the DLR system attempts to run the EXE or COM file from the PCLP server a
DOS error, 'Cannot execute file [filename]' occurs. Even when the resource is
setup through the OS/2 LAN Server and shared as an external resource the same
DOS error is returned.
A. This is a known, but not frequent, situation. The problem involves locking
executable files using the REDIR40.EXE file. There is a fix. The fix is in the
form of a new REDIR40.EXE that can be obtained from IBM Software Defect
Support. The ID for the fix is IC03020, it includes one file and is applied as
a replacement for the previous version of that file.
Q. Is there any plan to put the PC LAN Program or the DOS LAN Requester portion
of OS/2 LAN Server 1.2 or 1.3 into extended or expanded memory?
A. Portions of the DOS LAN Requester can be loaded into expanded or high
memory, but not the PCLP. There are no current plans to do so with the PCLP.
For information on configuring your requester for EMS or high memory, refer to
the /EMS and /HIM parameters to the NET START command in your DOS LAN Requester
Users Guide.
Q. Why do I get an "Incorrect DOS version" message when trying to install the
PC LAN Program V1.2 on a DOS 4.0 system?
A. The PCLP V1.2 is not compatible with DOS 4.0 or later. If PCLP 1.2 is used,
you must be running under DOS 3.3. Alternatively, you can upgrade to PCLP 1.3
if you wish to use DOS 4.0 or later.
Q. Why does my screen become trashed on some DOS LAN Requesters after receiving
a NETPOPUP Message and pressing ESC to clear the screen?
A. This may have been a problem with the early IBM mouse driver V1.0. An easy
way to fix this is to make sure you load the mouse driver after the NET START
in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8.1.3. NetWare from IBM Q&As ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Q. How do I configure NetWare from IBM V3.11 to use the Token-Ring 16/4
Busmaster Server Adapter/A?
A. First, make a directory on the DOS partition of the server's hard disk
drive) or on the boot diskette for a server with no DOS partition) called
\FIRMLOAD. Next, copy the FIRMLOAD.COM file from the SYSTEM-2 diskette into
the \FIRMLOAD directory and copy MONT400.BIN and WRTRAM.BIN from the options
diskette that comes with the Busmaster adapter into the same directory. Create
the following AUTOEXEC.BAT file, which when executed will cause the microcode
to be downloaded to the Busmaster adapter and the start the NetWare server:
CD\FIRMLOAD
FIRMLOAD
CD\
SERVER
In addition, TOKENDMA.LAN, which is found on the SYSTEM-2 diskette, should be
used as the network driver loaded by NetWare.
Q. What version of NetWare from IBM is required to run NFS and FTAM?
A. NFS and FTAM require Netware V3.11 (or later) from IBM.
Q. I get "Insufficient Memory" errors when I try to install NetWare, but I have
plenty of memory in my system.
A. If a memory driver has grabbed all of your memory above 1MB (as HIMEM.SYS
does) NetWare will not "see" the memory. Remove any memory drivers from
CONFIG.SYS. NetWare will the install correctly.
Q. Is there any way to use IBM Personal Communications/3270 and Novell IPX at
the same time?
A. Yes. Two rules apply, however: 1) PC/3270 must be loaded first; and 2) Once
PC/3270 is loaded, it must not be removed from memory.
Q. How do I set up NetWare to communicate through an IBM 8209 Bridge?
A. Run source routing, which comes with V3.11 and V2.2. On the workstation,
load ROUTE.COM after IPX and before NETx. On the V3.11 server load ROUTE.NLM.
On a V2.2 server load ROUTE.VP0 by copying he ROUTE.VP0 into the system
directory.
Q. I'm running NetWare and ICLAS and trying to load the Private Tutor Series.
When I load PT it prompts me for a drive where the lesson is. Each drive I
select gives me an error.
A. Login as a student, press ALT then the letters E, S and C (not the ESC key)
and at the prompt type MAP. Look for the drive mapped to courses. It should
be drive Q. That is the drive you need to enter for the lesson prompt.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8.1.4. ICLAS/EDLAN Q&As ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Q. After powering off the workstation or server, it is no longer recognized as
a printstation.
A. If booting from diskette, check the AUTOEXEC.BAT file to make sure that it
contains these 3 lines after netdrive and before clssetv:
CD\LOGIN\LANSPOOL
NODE /A >NUL (The A must be capitalized)
CD\LOGIN
If booting remotely, the AUTOEXEC.BAT file on the diskette used during dosgen
to create the remote boot image must contain the 3 lines listed above. If not
certain, redo the dosgen. Also, a copy of the AUTOEXEC.BAT has to be in both
the \login and the login\lanspool subdirectories.
Q. The workstation definitions are not being recognized by the system, even
though the printstations are. I also receive the error message "No default
queue name can be found on server SERVERNAME" when logging in at any
workstation.
A. Go to the server console : prompt and type p. You should see a list of the
printers defined to the server as network printers. You must have at least one
printer defined as a network printer. In NetWare 2.15 and earlier versions,
this is created by going into netgen, custom installation, miscellaneous
maintenance, printer maintenance, and spooling at least one printer. With 2.2,
you must create an AUTOEXEC.BAT file that is copied into the \SYSTEM
subdirectory. This file must contain at least these 3 lines:
p 0 create lpt1
p 0 add printq_0
s 0 printq_0
Make sure that printq_0 has been created prior to this using pconsole or by
typing q printq_0 create at the server console : prompt.
Q. What versions of the IBM Internal Tape Backup Program are supported with
ICLAS?
A. You will need the Internal Tape Backup Program V1.12 or later. Prior
versions did not backup the Novell bindery files.
Q. None of the print jobs will print until the user exits from the application
program. What's wrong?
A. The timeout is not set correctly. Choose NetWare Utilities from the Sysop
menu, then choose System Configuration, Supervisor Options, and System Login
Script. On the line that begins with #spool, change the timeout to timeout=5,
or some other number. If you have it set to 0, the timeout feature is disabled
and nothing will print until you exit. If you change the value to a nonzero
number the print spooler will wait that number of seconds before releasing the
print job. If this value already is nonzero, check the application's start
instructions to see if a spool or capture command is used; if so make changes
to the timeout there.
Q. I'm trying to create a printstation in ICLAS V1.4 and get an error message,
"Another user is making printstations at this time. Printstations can only be
created on one workstation at a time." But I'm the only one doing so.
A. When you are creating a printstation, there is a file called UNLOCKED that
is renamed LOCKED. Look in the LOGIN\LANSPOOL subdirectory. If you see a file
called LOCKED, rename it to UNLOCKED. If both files exist, delete LOCKED.
Q. I'm running NetWare and ICLAS and trying to load the Private Tutor Series.
When I load PT it prompts me for a drive where the lesson is. Each drive I
select gives me an error.
A. Login as a student, press ALT then E, S, C (the letters, not the ESC key)
and at the prompt type MAP. Look for the drive mapped to courses. It should
be drive Q. That is the drive you need to enter for the lesson prompt.
Q. When using a banner page, the first user of the day prints fine. Every user
after that gets a banner page with the name of the first user.
A. There is a known problem with the Novell capture file. Download CAP121.ZIP
from Novell's NetWire, or order it from IBM Defect Support.
Q. I am trying to run the tape backup program from the SysOp main menu and
don't have the correct batch file.
A. For ICLAS 1.4 you will need to apply the patch INTTAPE4, which is available
from your Education SE, or the TA BBS. For ICLAS 1.2 or 1.3, use INTTAPE2.
Q. The printer attached to the server won't print. The print jobs never appear
in the queue.
A. 1) If it is Novell 2.15 or 2.12, check to see if there is an AUTOEXEC.BAT
file in the \SYSTEM subdirectory. If it exists, delete it. 2) Go into
PCONSOLE and choose Print Queue Information, then Currently Attached Servers.
If it is blank, choose Queue Server, insert, and choose SERVERNAME_ls_vap.
Exit PCONSOLE and down the server. When you reboot the server, make sure you
answer Yes to Loading the vaps.
Q. I am getting an error message, "VAP not able to login as printstation."
A. Some files have become corrupted. Go to the subdirectory LOGIN\AUTOLOG for
ICLAS 1.3 and earlier versions. For ICLAS 1.4, it is in the AUTOLOG2
subdirectory. Delete the file clswsdef that has no extension. Go to the
LOGIN\LANSPOOL subdirectory and delete the lanspool.ini file. Go into PCONSOLE
and choose Print Queue Information and delete all the ls_print_queues, leaving
only printq_0 and printq_1. Down the server, bring it back up and reinstall
ICLAS from diskettes (see installation manual for information) and down the
server again. After bringing up the server, this message should not reappear.
Q. I am trying to install Edlan but I'm getting the message, "In order to
install Advanced Netware, you must perform the following steps:
A. This indicates that you probably do not have enough memory. Edlan requires
a minimum of 4MB to install and run.
Q. I am installing Edlan 1.0 or 1.01 and can't get it to work on a PS/2 Model
90/95.
A. The Models 90 and 95 require the latest SCSI drivers, which were not
included on the Edlan tape. You will need to install NetWare from diskette on
the Models 90 and 95 after you get the latest SCSI drivers and copy them onto
the DSK_DRV_001 diskette. You can then install ICLAS and the tools from the
tape.

Q. Is there anywhere I can go for online technical support?
A. Yes. If you have a CompuServe account, use GO IBMSVR to access the IBM
support forum there.
Q. What is the current version of IBM TCP/IP for OS/2?
A. The latest version sold separately is 2.0; however OS/2 Warp Connect
includes TCP/IP V3.0.
Q. I keep setting the time on my PC, and every morning when I turn it on it is
off by one hour. I can't figure out why.
A. If your PC is on a network, check the time on the server. If the server is
off (perhaps because of Daylight Savings Time), and your system synchronizes
its time to that of the server, it will reset it incorrectly each morning,
despite the changes you make.
Q. When I issue a NET WHO at my domain controller, I often get some users whose
systems are off, and who are not listed in NET SESSION. Why?
A. This problem is caused by the users shutting down their systems without
logging off. Have them log off first and this problem will go away.
Q. What is the Home Directory?
A. The Home Directory refers to the hard disk space on the server that has been
allocated strictly for that user's applications and needs. This disk space can
be used for both application and data storage. The Home Directory is the
default area of access to the user for his session, and additional access
depends upon the user's profile as configured by the system administrator.

Q. What is this "Tested and Approved for LAN Systems" logo I'm starting to see
all over the place?
A. This logo is IBM's "seal of approval" for product compatibility with a
number of IBM and non-IBM hardware and software products that have passed a
rigorous certification process. For more information about this program, write
to:
IBM Corporation

Q. What is this "Ready! for LAN Server" logo I'm starting to see all over the
place?
A. Similar to the preceding, this logo is IBM's seal of approval for product
compatibility with IBM's OS/2 LAN Server product.
Q. How is the LAN Server 3.01 update different from V3.0?
A. V3.01 contains the following additions and enhancements: 1) It is
Pentium-tuned (runs 10% faster on Pentium than 3.0 does); 2) It contains
support for backup domain controller servers; 3) It contains support for 64GB
disk array partitions; and 4) It provides improved password and security
administration.
Q. How do I get the LAN Server 3.01 update?
A. Shrinkwrapped 3.01 copies are now being shipped in place of 3.0 for new
buyers. Existing 3.0 users can download the update from any of the following:
IBM OS/2 BBS, IBM PC Company BBS, CompuServe (Go IBMOS2), or Internet
(anonymous FTP from software.watson.ibm.com /PUB/OS2).
Q. Are there any remote dial-in products on the market for LAN Server 3.0 or
later?
A. Yes, at least one. IBM offers a program called Dial In Access to LANs
(DIALs) Client for DOS, Windows, and OS/2 Clients. When used in conjunction
with the IBM 8235 Dial In Access to LANs Server for Token-Ring or Ethernet, it
allows up to 8 users (per 8235) to dial into, and log onto, the LAN. It
supports routing and bridging for multiple protocols (NetBIOS, IPX, 802.2 LLC,
and IP). Clients must be running either DOS 3.3 or higher, Windows 3.1 or
higher, or OS/2 2.0 or higher.
Q. I just installed OS/2 2.1 on a system (or ran MAKEINI on a 2.1 system) that
already had LAN Server installed. Now my LS folders are all gone. How do I
get them back?
A. Unfortunately, the only method is to reinstall LAN Server.
Q. Are LAN Server 3.0/4.0 peer-to-peer network products?
A. No, they are still Client/Server networks, however they do offer peer
services between requesters. This allows the owner of files, printers, and/or
serial devices to share directories, a printer queue, and one communications
device queue with other users on the network, one user at a time. If you need
true peer-to-peer networking for OS/2, consider ArtiSoft's LANtastic for OS/2.
Q. Is there any way to get Artisoft's DOS LANtastic network program to
interoperate with LAN Server?
A. Yes; a LANtastic 6.0 (or later) server is interoperable with OS/2 LAN Server
(via SMB protocol). This means that LANtastic clients can communicate with the
OS/2 LAN Server, and OS/2 LAN requesters can talk with the LANtastic server.
Another option is to get IBM TCP/IP for OS/2, and the LANtastic for TCP/IP
product. They will talk not only together, but with other TCP/IP
implementations as well. There is a 32-bit OS/2 version of LANtastic (minus the
groupware and NetWare Control Protocol; but Novell's NetWare Requestor for OS/2
is available free of charge). It is interoperable with LAN Server, MS LAN
Manager, Windows NT, Windows for Workgroups, NetWare, TCP/IP, and Unix servers.
Q. When I boot my OS/2 system the OS/2 LAN Requester starts (from a LOGON
statement in STARTUP.CMD), but then I get a LAN Server logon panel. I have to
cancel this panel each time before I can continue the boot process. I've
looked in STARTUP.CMD and the Startup folder, but I can't identify what is
causing the requester to try to logon twice. What can I do?
A. In CONFIG.SYS the SET AUTOSTART= statement identifies those "items" that
should be automatically restarted on bootup if they are running at Shutdown
time, including PROGRAMS, FOLDERS, and so on. One of these is CONNECTIONS. If
you remove the ",CONNECTIONS" parameter from the end of this statement the
"double-dipping" for LAN Requester will cease.
Q. I just bought Communications Manager, Database Manager, and LAN Server.
Does it matter in which order I install them?
A. It depends on which packages you purchased, due to the version of User
Profile Management (UPM) included. ES (including Communications Manager and
Database Manager) and LAN Server 2.0 include UPM V1.0, LAN Server 3.0 includes
UPM V2.0, and Communications Manager/2 and DB2/2 include UPM V3.0. If the
products you bought have the same version of UPM, it doesn't matter in which
order you install them. However, if your packages are at different UPM levels,
install the package with the "highest" UPM version last.
Q. Does LS 2.0/3.0 do mirroring/duplexing of drives?
A. Yes; the OS/2 LAN Server 2.0-4.0-Advanced programs offers
duplexing/mirroring; but not the Entry level versions.
Q. What enhancements have been made to LAN Server 3.0 over 2.0?
A. Additions to both Entry and Advanced packages include: Redirected install
(CID), peer services, up to 1,000 requesters per server (up from 254) on a
single network, domain management APIs, Network Transport Services/2 (NTS2)
thin client support (no full-screen interface--saves 2.5MB per workstation),
DOS LAN requester (DLR) virtual device driver support, DLR support of DOS 5.0
task switching, DLR performance enhancements, and TCP/IP co-existence. In
addition, 3.0 Advanced includes the following: improved disk fault tolerance:
remirror without format and mirror of boot drive, PS/2 Server 295 enabled, and
local security (file-level security of server files--requires HPFS386).
Q. How can I set up my OS/2 network requesters to automatically logon the
users?
A. In each user's STARTUP.CMD file (create one if necessary), add the following
statements:
NET START REQ (to start the requester)
LOGON xxx /P:yyy (where XXX is the userid and yyy is the password)
If the requesters don't require passwords, leave out the /P: parameter
entirely. If you want to force the users to input a password, use the /P:
parameter without including the password.
Q. I have an OS/2 LAN Server network running on Ethernet, and everything seems
to be set up correctly. All the drivers load properly, but when I try to logon
with my DOS LAN Requester, I get an error message saying that the domain could
not be found. Why?
A. You need to change the protocol used by your LAN Server and any OS/2
requesters so that they use the 802.3 protocol. OS/2 uses a default of Ethernet
DIX Version 2.0. The LAN Support Program on the DOS requesters uses IEEE 802.3
as the default. This causes a mismatch of the two protocols. To change this
you need to go into Communications Manager Advanced Configuration. Choose LAN
Features Profile. Then select 802.3 and Change. When the screen that asks for
the protocol used by the adapter appears, choose 802.3 (the only other choice
will be Ethernet DIX Version 2.0). Then exit (do not use ESC or you will lose
your changes), making sure that you verify the changed configuration file. You
will need to Shutdown the system and reboot.
Q. I just installed an OS/2 ServicePak, and now I get a NET8002 Error when I
try to start the LAN Server or requester. What's wrong?
A. When the OS/2 Communications Manager is installed default configuration
files, ACSCFG.CFG and ACSCFGUS.CFG, are furnished. The installation
instructions suggest making a copy of these files with different names. The
reason for this is that when a CSD is installed new copies of these files will
be copied over the current ones. If the customer was using the default files
it will be replaced with new ones and all information that was put in the old
files will be lost. This is seen most often as a server or requester failing
to start with a NET8002 error message. This will also result in no host
connection if the user was using the Communications Manager to contact the
host.
Q. Some of the requesters are unable to get access to shared resources. How
can I tell why?
A. When a user seems unable to get access to a resource that should be
available there is an easy way to see if it is an access control problem. Have
the network administrator go to the User Profile Management Services (UPM) and
change the UserID from type 'user' to 'admin'. Have the user then see if they
have access to the resource when logged on as an admin that they don't have
access to as a user. If they do get access, then the user didn't have
sufficient access for to the resource. The access profile system will never
prevent an admin ID from accessing a resource.
Q. I'm having problems printing on an HP LaserJet across the network. What
should I look for?
A. There is a function on HP LaserJet Series II and III printers called "Auto
Continue." The manual for the HPLJ II talks about it but says nothing about
running on a network. The HPLJ III book says that if the printer is on a
network Auto Continue should be turned on. The default for both II and III is
off. Turning on Auto Continue has cleared some network printing problems for
both printers.
Q. Is there an easy way to continually backup the NET.ACC File without using a
tape drive?
A. The following is an easy way to keep a good backup copy of your NET.ACC
file, using the three lines below as an example for the STARTUP.CMD file. This
will make at least one good copy of the NET.ACC file available. You can use
whatever file names you want for the backup files.
XCOPY C:\IBMLAN\ACCOUNTS\NETBACK2.ACC C:\IBMLAN\ACCOUNTS\NETBACK3.ACC
XCOPY C:\IBMLAN\ACCOUNTS\NETBACK1.ACC C:\IBMLAN\ACCOUNTS\NETBACK2.ACC
XCOPY C:\IBMLAN\ACCOUNTS\NET.ACC C:\IBMLAN\ACCOUNTS\NETBACK1.ACC
Q. Why are Access Denied Messages logged?
A. Access denied messages can get logged to the statistics log or the audit log
for several reasons that are not obvious. If an E-mail application is
accessing shared files but doesn't have the A (attributes) access permission,
access denied messages can get written to the statistics log. Giving the
shared resource the A access will stop the logging of access denied messages
and not give the users any more actual access than they now have. Other
applications may cause similar results. If users are given any access to a
resource, make sure they also have the A access to alleviate problems such as
these.
Q. I keep setting the time on my PC, and every morning when I turn it on it is
off by one hour. I can't figure out why.
A. If your PC is on a network, check the time on the server. If the server is
off (perhaps because of Daylight Savings Time), and your system synchronizes
its time to that of the server, it will reset it incorrectly each morning,
despite the changes you make at the workstation.
Q. Our OS/2 Requesters are timing out due to inactivity. How can we change it
to never time out?
A. There is a parameter in the LAN Server's IBMLAN.INI file called
'AUTODISCONNECT=.' If you set this value to -1, the server will never
disconnect inactive sessions. Please refer to your OS/2 LAN Server Network
Administrator's Reference for information on all the IBMLAN.INI parameters.
Q. Since installing the IBM Distributed Console Access Facility (DCAF) on my
OS/2 LAN Server, the LAN refuses to work. It produces the following errors:
NET3056 OS/2 error 59, followed by SYS0059.
A. Most likely the MAXIMUM NAMES parameter in your NETBIOS profile is
insufficient. Try the following:
1. Start the Communications Manager. |
2. Choose "Advanced," "Configuration," "LAN Features profile," "Change,"
"NETBIOS Profile."
3. Then increase the MAXIMUM NAME (how many you need will vary from network
to network, so you will have to experiment with the best number).
4. Verify the changes and exit Comm Mgr.
The next time you reboot, the problem should be resolved.
Q. We have a network with an OS/2 LAN Server system as the domain controller.
The users sometimes receive a message that they "cannot access home directory"
when attempting to log on to the domain. This problem occurs intermittently
on various systems. Sometimes about ten systems will come up, while other
times as many as fourteen or fifteen will come up. What's the problem.
A. Most likely the MAXSHARES parameter in the server's \IBMLAN\IBMLAN.INI file
is still at the default of sixteen. If so, you need to increase your
MAXSHARES and MAXCONNECTIONS parameters. The MAXSHARES parameter must be
equal to or greater than the total number of aliases (files, printers, serial
devices and external resources) + home directories. The equation for the
MAXCONNECTIONS parameter is: MAXCONNECTIONS = #requesters * (2 + #new uses per
requester).
Q. I'm getting NET3055 errors. What's wrong?
A. Check the cable connecting the PC to the ring.
Q. What does a NET3062 error mean?
A. If this error is on an additional server, go through the resync procedure
listed at the end of the READ.ME file on diskette 12 of EE 1.2 CSD 4098.
Q. Why am I getting NET3055, NET3056, NET3195 errors?
A. Make sure that the Sessions and Commands parameters in the NetBIOS section
of the Communications Manager .CFG file are larger than the Sessions and
Commands parameters set on the NET1 line of the IBMLAN.INI file.
Q. What causes a NET9853 error?
A. It's generally caused by the MachineID listed in the IBMLAN.INI at the
requester being the same as the UserID.
Q. I'm a Requester, and I know I can type "NET USE" at a command line to see
what resources I am connected to, but is there an easy way to see what network
drives I have access to, from the Desktop, without having to open a command
prompt session?
A. One quick way is to open the Seek and Scan utility. It shows check boxes
for all local and network drives.
Q. Our OS/2 Requesters are timing out due to inactivity. How can we change it
to never time out?
A. There is a parameter in the LAN Server's IBMLAN.INI file called
'AUTODISCONNECT=.' If you set this value to -1, the server will never
disconnect inactive sessions. Please refer to your OS/2 LAN Server Network
Administrator's Reference for information on all the IBMLAN.INI parameters.

Q. I have the NetWare Requester for OS/2 V2.01, but I'm having problems with
it. Are there any fixes available for it?
A. Yes. There is a file called R201FX.EXE available on Novell's NetWire Forum
on CompuServe (in the Novfiles forum under Client.Kit-OS2-fixes). It is also
available on the IBM OS/2 BBS (call 800-547-1283 for OS/2 BBS subscription
information, if you aren't currently a subscriber), in the selective fixes
area. It may be available from other BBSes as well. Besides fixing some
problems, it adds functional enhancements to the requester.
Q. I've heard that there is a better OS/2 requester available for NetWare than
the NetWare Requester. What is it?
A. Novell's NetWare Client for OS/2 is both newer and more stable. It is
included with new versions of NetWare products. There are also updated
versions of the client available, which improve performance and application
compatibility. These updates can be found in the NetWire forum on CompuServe
(see previous question). Contact Novell for details.
Q. I set up a printer object for a network printer set up on out NetWare 3.11
print server. It works for many other users, but not me. When I assign LPT2
to the printer I get only a banner page and a blank trailer, and the message
"SYS0112: There is not enough space on the disk." I have checked my drive, and
I have oodles of space. What's wrong?
A. Check the print server's disk space. If you are over your space limit on

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8.2.1. General PS/2 Server 85/95 Q&As ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This section is devoted to those questions that are not specific to either the
PS/2 Server 85 or PS/2 Server 95, but are common to both.
Hard Disk/IML/Selectable Boot/Reference Diskette
Q. What does IML stand for (as in "IML partition")?
A. Initial Microcode Load, This is where your BIOS and your copy of the
Reference Diskette is stored in a 3MB protected partition on your hard disk.
Q. On what drive does the IML reside on a Server 85/95?
A. The IML has to reside on the first SCSI drive on the first SCSI adapter.
Q. On the PS/2 Server 85/95, does the SCSI drive that contains the IML
partition (with the BIOS and configuration program) need to be set up
differently than the other drives?
A. Yes. This drive must be configured for SCSI ID 6. The motherboard ROM will
always look for the drive configured as SCSI ID 6 to find the BIOS and
Reference Diskette information, regardless of which drive is currently
designated as the primary bootable drive.
Q. Are there any limitations to the size of SCSI drives that I can install in a
Server 85 or 95?
A. Yes. Except for the 95-xNx/xPx/xQx models, there is a 1GB limitation for
the primary drive that will be holding the IML partition. Also, if using a
non-IBM drive that is larger than 1GB as a non-primary drive, the IML setup
program may not display the correct size. Contact the drive vendor for
compatibility information. Other than those limitations, SCSI drives can be as
large as the power supply will support. IBM now offers drives in excess of
4.5GB apiece for all Server 85/95 models.
Q. What are the main diferences between the SCSI-2 Fast/Wide adapter used in
the non-array Server 85/95 models, and the SCSI-2 RAID adapter used in the
Server 95 array models?
A. The Fast/Wide adapter uses an Intel 80C186 processor. The RAID adapter uses
the high-speed i960 RISC processor to handle the complex RAID algorithms with
ease. Also, the array adapter comes with 4MB of cache memory (upgradeable to
16MB or 64MB using four 30-pin gold-plated SIMMs) on-board, compared to none
for the non-array adapter. In addition, the Fast/Wide card supports up to 7
internal and 7 external SCSI-2 devices (or a total of 7 devices if one or more
SCSI-1 drives are used), while the RAID adapter supports up to 14 internal
SCSI-2 (no external or SCSI-1) devices. Finally, the Fast/Wide adapter is a
short MCA card that can be used in any MCA slot (including the short slots in
some PS/2s), and up to 4 such cards can be used. The RAID adapter is a
full-length Type 5 MCA card, meaning that it is a very tall card, only fitting
in certain slots; only two Type 5 cards can be used per Server 85 or 95 system.
Q. Is it possible to boot to an internal 5.25 diskette drive in a Server 85/95?
A. Yes. You have the option to use "selectable boot" from the Reference
Diskette to select what drive you would like to boot from. Caution: If you use
this your logical drive letters may change.
Q. What could cause the PS/2 Server 85/95 not to be able to boot from the
primary hard disk drive if it passes diagnostics?
A. If you know you have an operating system installed on the drive, and you can
do a DIR from a bootable DOS diskette, then make sure that the hard disk drive
on which you have installed the operating system is designated as a bootable
drive when you set up selectable boot.
Q. What happens if I use selectable boot and make my system not see my 1.44, A:
drive? How will it see the Reference Diskette?
A. There is a "safety" device that always looks at the A: drive for a Reference
Diskette. If there is a Reference Diskette in the drive it will override
"selectable boot".
Q. When I try to boot from a DOS diskette to install the operating system, the
system goes straight to BASIC. Yet when I boot to the Reference Diskette, it
works fine. What's the problem? I've tried two copies of DOS, so it's not a
bad diskette or diskette drive.
A. Boot from the Reference Diskette, and look at the drive boot sequence. Most
likely the boot sequence does not include the A: drive (which may have been
intentionally or accidentally excluded). With the A: drive excluded, only the
Reference Diskette will boot from it. Adding the A: drive to the boot sequence
should correct the problem.
Q. When the "L2" (level 2, or external) cache option is installed in a PS/2
Server 95, will it show up on the Reference Diskette configuration screens?
A. No. If everything is working as expected you will receive no indication.
If there is a hardware problem, it will show up during POST or Advanced
Diagnostics, just as with any other hardware problem.
Miscellaneous
Q. Is it safe to use gold-plated memory SIMMs in tin-lead SIMM sockets, or vice
versa? I've heard conflicting opinions?
A. The industry consensus from memory and motherboard manufacturers is that
mixing gold and tin contacts will cause degalvanization of the gold contacts,
leading to corrosion and data errors over time. Where there is little
consensus is on how long this will take and how big a problem it is. Long-term
mixing of gold and tin, therefore, is not a good idea. Some memory and
motherboard manufacturers, including IBM, do not support the mixing of metals
and any damage caused by this practice may void the warranty of the affected
component. However it is probably safe to do so for a reasonably short period
of time. How short is impossible to say, as it depends on the quality of the
components themselves and environmental factors (such as humidity and dust),
but a period of weeks or months is not unreasonable. (This is not a guarantee
by any means and you are responsible for any problems that may result, but many
people have successfully done this for a year or more without incident.) Of
course, this assumes that the SIMMs are otherwise acceptable, except for the
type of metal used for the contacts. (In other words, the motherboard requires
70ns 72-pin IBM Standard gold-plated SIMMs, and you substitute SIMMs that are
identical except for tin-lead contacts.)
Q. Are the PS/2 Server 85/95 models EPA Energy Star-compliant?
A. No. The Energy Star program did not yet exist when these systems were
designed.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8.2.2. PS/2 Server 85-Specific Q&As ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Processor/Memory
Q. Are the 9585 systems processor-upgradeable?
A. Yes. Depending on the model, these systems may be upgraded via Intel
OverDrive module to an Intel 486DX2 or Pentium processor.
Q. What is the difference between the Server 85 ECC-P offering and the ECC
memory on some PS/2 Model 76/77 and Server 95 models?
A. ECC-P support is BIOS code that provides for customer selectable memory
error detection and correction of single bit errors (detection only of all
double bit errors and some 3- and 4-bit errors) using the standard system
parity memory. With ECC-P the detection and correction takes place in the
memory controller rather than in the memory SIMM as on the Server 95.
Q. Do I have to use matched pairs of memory SIMMs in order to use ECC-P?
A. Yes, using matched pairs of SIMMs, the ECC support is for the entire 64MB of
supported system memory. Unmatched SIMMs can be installed in the Server 85,
however, ECC-P can be turned on for matched pair SIMMs only. Unmatched SIMMs
will be run as normal parity memory if they are installed.
Q. What kind of memory errors does ECC-P correct and/or detect?
A. With ECC-P, one-bit errors are automatically detected and corrected. All
2-, and some 3- and 4-bit errors, are detected and the system is halted with
the error isolated to a matched SIMM pair. The Server 95 ECC support views
memory in 1MB segments and has the ability to deallocate a failing segment.
With the Server 85 ECC-P implementation, the system views memory as matched
pairs of SIMMs and, in case of a double bit failure, will deallocate both SIMMs
in a matched pair.
Q. How is ECC-P memory correction controlled by the customer?
A. The customer may select memory support from a memory checking method item on
the system configuration menu screens. This option allows the user to choose
between ECC-P or normal parity operation.
Q. Does ECC-P effect server performance?
A. Yes, with ECC-P enabled, there may be up to 10-14% impact on memory
performance compared to normal parity checking mode.
Q. For customers who took delivery of a Server 85 before 2/93 (when ECC-P was
ready), how is the system upgraded?
A. The BIOS on the Server 85 is implemented using flash RAM. ECC-P function is
added by updating the system software using new system diskettes. This update
is available to customers through IBM or authorized business partners.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8.2.3. PS/2 Server 95-Specific Q&As ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Processor/Memory
Q. Is the processor in my PS/2 Server 95 upgradeable?
A. Yes. All models include the processor on a special "processor complex"
card. This card can be replaced with any other processor complex, upgrading
not only the processor but the cache, and bus architecture and other circuitry
as well. This means that a simple processor can upgrade produce much more,
including support for ECC memory, 2.88MB diskette drives, faster bus transfer
rates, and other enhancements.
Q. If I want to install additional memory in the 95, what do I need?
A. To install memory in a 0Jx or 0Kx model you will need to add two memory
SIMMs of the same speed in matching slots. You cannot just add one SIMM at a
time. The 0Gx, 0Hx, xLx, and newer 486 models models allow the use of single
SIMMs, as well as matched pairs. Because of the design of the Pentium
processor, all Pentium-based models must upgrade memory in pairs of SIMMs. See
your Hardware Maintenance Reference (HMR) manual manual for more information on
matching slots.
Q. In the systems that can use different speeds SIMMs, if I add slower RAM (80
or 85ns) to a system that already has 70ns memory installed, will the system
run slower for all memory accesses, or just when the slower SIMMs are used?
A. Only when the slower RAM is accessed. So make sure to put the slowest SIMMs
after all the faster ones, so they are accessed least often.
Q. PS/2 Server 95 xMx/xNx/xPx/xQx models can take Error Checking and Correcting
(ECC) memory as well as "normal" parity memory. Can they be mixed, or must all
SIMMs be either one or the other type?
A. They must either be all ECC or all parity RAM SIMMs. Some models come with
ECC memory installed, so to use parity memory all the ECC SIMMs must be
replaced. But those that ship with partiy memory installed must replace those
SIMMs in order to use ECC memory.
Q. What is the difference between the Server 85 ECC-P offering and the ECC
memory on some PS/2 Server 95 models?
A. ECC-P support is BIOS code that provides for customer selectable memory
error detection and correction of single bit errors (detection only of all
double bit errors and some 3- and 4-bit errors) using the standard system
parity memory. With ECC-P the detection and correction takes place in the
memory controller rather than in the memory SIMM as on the Server 95.
Q. Can I add the 256K memory cache option to the 486SX processor in a 95?
A. No, only the 486DX, DX2, or Pentium processor complexes will support an
external cache.
Q. How do I know if the 256K cache is working properly?
A. Once the Level 2 cache is installed it will not show up in configuration nor
in diagnostics. If there is a problem "POST" will give an error. Otherwise it
is working correctly.
Hard Disk/IML/Selectable Boot/Reference Diskette
Q. I'm trying to connect a NEC 3XE SCSI CD-ROM drive to a 9595-0PT system,
using the external SCSI-2 interface. I'm getting an operating system message
saying that the device is not recognized. But setup sees the drive, and it
passes diagnostics. What can I do?
A. Go into the Server 95 setup program (from the Reference Diskette, or System
Partition) and disable external SCSI wide messaging (the CD-ROM isn't a
Fast/Wide device) and 100ns data streaming mode (it's a fast CD-ROM drive, but
not that fast!).
Q. What is the DISK386.SYS driver (on the Reference Diskettes) for?
A. The PS/2 Server 95 Reference Diskette contains an update program
(DISK386.SYS) and an installation program. The update program maintains
compatibility between SCSI devices, IBM DOS, and some of the following types of
programs that assume the hard disk drive will utilize the system Direct Memory
Access (DMA) controller:
Multitasking DOS programs
Programs written for the 80386 microprocessor only
Programs that use the virtual 8086 mode of the 80386 microprocessor
Programs that emulate expanded memory specification (EMS) in extended
memory.
The update program should only be installed when applications providing DOS
and/or memory extensions fail to work properly. For example, an application
may fail to load and return the DOS prompt or when attempting to access a SCSI
device, the system may hang or the screen may go blank.
With this update program installed, a buffer is provided in the first megabyte
of system memory, which serves as an intermediate location for data being
transferred between the SCSI adapter and the requesting program buffer. While
this update program allows applications that utilize the system DMA controller
to run, some performance degradation in file access time may be experienced.
Only after problems have been experienced, and the performance implications
considered, should this update program be utilized.
Miscellaneous
Q. I know that the 95 systems use serial and parallel ports capable of
high-speed DMA transfers, but how do I know if my system is set up to use DMA?
A. Simple. Start the System Program (either from the System Partition on your
hard disk drive, or the Reference Diskette), and look at the Arbitration Level
for the serial and parallel ports. The parallel port should be set to Shared
7, and the serial port should be set to Shared 4 for Transmit Arb Level, and
Shared 3 for Receive Arb Level. If your system has two DMA serial ports, the
second serial port should be set to Shared 6 for Transmit Arb Level, and
Shared 5 for Receive Arb Level. These are the defaults. If the ports are set
this way, they are using DMA transfers.
Q. Is the IBM Data Migration Facility (DMF) supported on the PS/2 Server 95?
A. DMF is supported on all PS/2 models except the 90 and 95.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8.3.1. General PC Server 300/500/700 Series Q&As ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This section is devoted to those questions that are not specific to and one
particular PC Server series, but common to several or all.
Q. PC Server 300, 310, 320, 500, 520, 720. Why so many different server lines?
A. Each serves (pardon the pun) a different market segment. The 3xx series
caters to the cost-conscious consumer, whose needs are met by either one
486DX2-66 or Pentium-60 (300), one Pentium-75 or -90 (310) or up to two 75MHz
or 90MHz Pentium processors (320), and either 5 (310) or 9 (300/320) internal
disk drive bays (with optional external expansion), for a small network. The
5xx/7xx series are for the high-performance audience, using up to either two
90MHz (500) or two 100MHz (520), or six 100MHz (720) Pentiums, and with 22
drive bays, for medium to large networks.
The PC Server 310 is a Mini-tower with 5 adapter slots (3 ISA, 2 shared
ISA/PCI; or 3 MCA, 2 shared MCA/PCI); PC Servers 300/320 are Tower systems with
8 adapter slots (3 ISA, 5 EISA (300); 2 PCI, 5 EISA, one shared (320), or 2
PCI, 6 MCA (320)). The 500/520/700 series are Maxi-towers, but likewise have 8
slots (Server 500 has 8 MCA slots; Server 520 has the same slot combinations as
the 320 EISA and MCA models; Server 720 has 7 shared PCI/MCA slots).
All (except the single-processor Server 300/310) are designed from the ground
up for multiprocessor support, using OS/2 for Symmetrical Multiprocessing, SCO
Unix with MPX, or NetWare SMP. There are a number of other differences,
including true ECC memory support and greater total memory capacity in the
higher-end models (up to 1GB of RAM in the 720, vs. 192MB in the 300) and SCSI
Fast/Wide RAID controllers (faster, array, and more drives) versus IDE.
Q. I'm a bit confused about the differences between the MCA/PCI and EISA/PCI
Server 320/520 models. Please differentiate.
A. It's actually pretty simple. Except for the adapter slots the
configurations are essentially identical (only the number and capacity of
drives, and the presence or absence of network adapters differs). The MCA
models have 2 PCI slots and 6 MCA slots; the EISA models have 2 PCI slots, 5
EISA slots, and 1 PCI or EISA (shared) slot. In the MCA models the video
controller is integrated onto the motherboard, saving an adapter slot, while
the video in the EISA models comes on an EISA adapter.
Q. Is the SCSI RAID adapter used in the Server 320/520/720 array models really
up to the task of handling up to 14 hard drives?
A. Yes. It uses the same high-performance I960 processor as the Quad
PeerMaster adapter (above) to handle the complex RAID algorithms with ease.
Additionally the adapter comes with 4MB of onboard cache to further enhance
performance. The supplied utilities for NetWare, OS/2 LAN Server, Windows NT,
and SCO Unix simplify the task of setup, display, and administration of disk
arrays.
Q. What are the main diferences between the SCSI-2 Fast/Wide adapter used in
the non-array models, and the SCSI-2 RAID adapter used in the Server
320/520/720 array models?
A. The Fast/Wide adapter uses an Intel 80C186 processor. As mentioned above,
the RAID adapter uses the high-speed i960 RISC processor to perform the high
volume of RAID calculations needed. Also, the array adapter comes with 4MB of
cache memory (not upgradeable) on-board, compared to none for the non-array
adapter. In addition, while both adapters supports up to 7 internal and 7
external SCSI-2 devices, the RAID adapter has a second internal connector,
allowing up to 14 internal (but no external) devices to be used if preferred.
A supplied daughtercard allows the second internal channel to be rerouted as a
second external channel, allowing up to 14 external (but no internal) devices
instead. (The disadvantage of this is that the daughter card uses a second
adapter slot, reducing the slots available for other purposes.) Alternatively,
the Fast/Wide adapter will support up to 7 total internal/external drives if
one or more of them is SCSI-1, but the RAID adapter doesn't support SCSI-1
devices. Up to four of either adapter can be used in one system (PCI slots
permitting).
Q. Speaking of arrays, how many arrays can be set up per adapter, and how many
drives per array?
A. Up to 4 different arrays can be configured per adapter, in any combination
of RAID 0, 1, or 5, but no more than 8 drives per array.
Q. Can an array span more than one adapter? In other words, could I put 4
drives on one adapter, and another 4 on a second adapter, and configure it as
one 8-drive array?
A. No. Arrays are limited to a single adapter. (There are software solutions,
such as EZ-RAID and OASAS I, that can span adapters, if needed.)
Q. The announcement letters for the PC Server 520/720 systems say that they
support up to 18 hot-swap array drives, but the RAID adapter only supports up
to 14 drives. Does this mean that I need a second RAID adapter to go beyond 14
hot-swap drives? The announcements do not say.
A. That is correct. Also, if desired, the two (non-hot-swap) 5.25" drive bays
next to the diskette drive can be used for hard drives attached to that second
adapter (or a separate Fast or Fast/Wide SCSI-2 adapter, if preferred).
Q. Does this mean that I can mix hot-swap and non-hot-swap drives in the same
array?
A. Yes, it you don't mind the exposure of having two drives in the array that
are not fault-tolerant. Perhaps a better idea would be to make those two
non-hot-swap bays a 2-drive array, with the operating system only (with or
without application software) one one drive, mirrored to the other drive. This
way you maintain some fault-tolerance in that array, so that if the primary
drive fails, the system will switch over to the mirrored drive. The system
would eventually have to be powered down to replace the dead drive, but this
could be scheduled for off-hours.
Q. What is this "Predictive Failure Analysis" that some PC Server models offer?
A. A combination of the hardware and the NetFinity software included with the
310/320/520/720 servers allows the system to alert the system administrator of
an impending hard disk drive failure approximately 24 to 48 hours before it
actually occurs. This allows the administrator to be prepared with a
replacement drive when it fails, or even to replace the drive before
failure--to prevent data loss.
Q. I'm having some strange problems with my PC Server. Are there any BIOS
updates available yet?
A. Yes. Check the IBM PC Company BBS, and other sources of IBM drivers and
fixes, for the latest version. BIOS updates are model specific, so be sure to
check the description of the files before downloading, and read the README
files before installing.
Q. What could happen if I unintentionally install the wrong BIOS update for the
wrong system?
A. You would render the motherboard nonbootable, requiring either a BIOS EEPROM
replacement or a new motherboard to rectify the situation.
Q. Is it safe to use gold-plated memory SIMMs in tin-lead SIMM sockets, or vice
versa? I've heard conflicting opinions?
A. The industry consensus from memory and motherboard manufacturers is that
mixing gold and tin contacts will cause degalvanization of the gold contacts,
leading to corrosion and data errors over time. Where there is little
consensus is on how long this will take and how big a problem it is. Long-term
mixing of gold and tin, therefore, is not a good idea. Some memory and
motherboard manufacturers, including IBM, do not support the mixing of metals
and any damage caused by this practice may void the warranty of the affected
component. However it is probably safe to do so for a reasonably short period
of time. How short is impossible to say, as it depends on the quality of the
components themselves and environmental factors (such as humidity and dust),
but a period of weeks or months is not unreasonable. (This is not a guarantee
by any means and you are responsible for any problems that may result, but many
people have successfully done this for a year or more without incident.) Of
course, this assumes that the SIMMs are otherwise acceptable, except for the
type of metal used for the contacts. (In other words, the motherboard requires
70ns 72-pin Industry Standard tin-lead SIMMs, and you substitute SIMMs that are
identical except for gold-plated contacts.)
Q. Are there any plans to use PowerPC processors in any of these servers
anytime soon?
A. Not these particular servers, but there will be PowerPC servers coming out.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8.3.2. PC Server 3xx-Specific Series Q&As ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This section is devoted to questions specific to the PC Server 3xx series.
PC Server 300
Q. If I need 8MB SIMMs, but can't find any P/N 92G7520 (ISA non-parity) SIMMS,
can I substitute P/N 92G7202 (IBM parity) SIMMS?
A. No. These will not work. You need industry standard SIMMs, such as 92G7203
(which was replaced by 92G7520, but may still be available from some
aftermarket sources), not IBM standard.
Q. I'm using the IBM 16/4 Busmaster Server Adapter Token Ring adapter with OS/2
2.11, and I can't seem to get it to work right (lockups). What's wrong?
A. There is a known problem with this combination. Make sure to get OS/2 2.1
FixPak 80 from OS/2 support (or download from any of many sources of IBM
drivers and fixes), or use a different adapter.
Q. What kind of video is included with the PC Server 300? VGA, SVGA, or XGA?
A. VGA, using a Cirrus Logic controller.
Q. Is this VGA adapter compatible with old IBM 85xx monitors?
A. Yes; however the high-res monitor models, capable of 1024x768 resolution (or
higher), will be restricted to the VGA limit of 640x480. (This applies to any
monitor, not just the 85xx series.)
PC Server 310
Q. What processors can the PC Server 310 models be upgraded to?
A. The models containing a Pentium-75 (-0XT/MXT) may be upgraded with a P-90
via the ZIF socket. The -0E0 model (Pentium-166) is upgradeable to a P-200. |
Q. What good is a server that is limited to only 3 hard drives?
A. The 310 was designed to be a low-cost server for small networks. If 3
internal 4.51GB drives (maximum) is insufficient storagethe built-in SCSI
controller will support up to 4 more external SCSI drives in addition. (Two
more SCSI adapters can be added, if needed.) If a larger number of drives is
required, or external drives are not desirable, the PC Server 320, 520, 704,
and 720 lines offer a larger number of internal storage bays (up to 18 internal
drives for the 520/720 servers). |
PC Server 320
Q. How is an additional processor added? Via ZIF socket, OverDrive chip, or
other?
A. Via the second ZIF socket.
Q. What processors can the PC Server 320 models be upgraded to?
A. Processor upgrades available for the primary or secondary ZIF socket include
90MHz, 100MHz, 133MHz, and 166MHz. The -EEx models (Pentium-166) are
upgradeable to one or two P-200 processors. |

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8.3.3. PC Server 5xx-Specific Series Q&As ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This section is devoted to questions specific to the PC Server 5xx series.
PC Server 500
Q. What is the PC Server 500 System 390, and how does it differ from a
"regular" Server 500 Array system?
A. In addition to all the standard features of a Server 500, it adds a complete
mainframe System/390 platform as well (a S/390 processor complex, including an
additional 32MB of ECC memory and an optional upgrade to 128MB ECC). By adding
an optional S/370 Channel Emulator adapter you can even attach S/370- or
S/390-type I/O devices and controllers (except DASD) to the Server 500. For a
company that uses S/390-architecture systems, this server offers a low-cost
S/390 development platform, and can act as a S/390 server as well as a PC
server. It can simultaneously run OS/2 on the Pentium-90 processor and VM/ESA,
VSE/ESA, or MVS/ESA (and any application software that runs on these operating
systems) on the S/390 processor. It's not cheap for a PC server, but it's
incredibly inexpensive for a entry-level S/390!
PC Server 520
Q. What is the Ethernet Quad PeerMaster Server Adapter used in one model of the
Server 520?
A. It is a very high-performance 32-bit Micro Channel Ethernet 10BaseT adapter
that acts as the equivalent of four separate adapters, in one slot, providing
four Ethernet segments. Up to two such adapters (for a total of 8 segments)
may be used in one PC. The use of an Intel I960 RISC processor on the adapter
allows it to offload all Ethernet bridging activity from the PC system
processor, including peer-to-peer switching between adapters. Each segment
runs at the full 10Mbps, for a total bandwidth of 80Mbps per server when using
two of these adapters.
Q. What is the maximum number of RAID array drives that can be configured for a
Server 520?
A. There are several possible answers. It all depends on what tradeoffs you
are willing to make. The quick answer is 25 array drives, using 2 SCSI-2 RAID
adapters. Even though the adapters each support up to 14 internal and/or
external drives on two channels of 7 drives apiece, it is difficult to reach
the maximum of 28 (2 x 14) devices, due to the design of the 520.
For example, if you decide to fill all 18 internal hot-swap bays, you will need
two RAID adapters. The first 7-device channel connects to both the first 6-bay
backplane and the standard CD-ROM drive. The second channel connects to the
second 6-bay backplane, and the first channel of the second adapter connects to
the third 6-bay backplane. The second channel on the second adapter could then
go to a 7-device expansion unit, like the IBM 3511. This would provide 18
internal hard drives, and 7 external drives, for a total of 25, plus the CD-ROM
drive, for 26 of the 28 possible SCSI devices. The downside is that 7 of the
25 drives aren't hot-swappable. And without more than two PCI slots you can't
go beyond two RAID adapters (unless you use MCA or EISA adapters, as
applicable).
Alternatively, if you require that all hard drives be hot-swappable, you can
use an IBM 3518 expansion unit, which is physically equivalent to the Server
720 cabinet, except for lacking a motherboard. But then each external RAID
adapter channel connects to a 6-bay backplane in the 3518, instead of a 7-bay
3511. In this configuration, you would fill up the 520, but only use the first
backplane in the 3518. (Alternatively, the first adapter could connect to the
first backplane in the 520 and the first backplane in the 3518 (plus the CD-ROM
drive in the 520), the second adapter would connect to the second backplane in
the 520 and the second backplane in the 3518. (The third backplane in each
unit goes unused. This configuration would save you the cost of the optional
power supply and other features needed when you populate the third backplane.)
The good news is that all your drives are hot-swappable. The "bad" news is
that you only have 24 array drives (four 6-bay backplanes), plus the CD-ROM
drive in the 520, instead of 25, and the 3518 is a significantly more expensive
unit than the 3511.
Other configurations, involving different expansion units and adapters are
possible. But the preceding gives you an idea of the complexity involved in
determining the optimal configuration for each system.
Note: The two bays in the 520 next to the CD-ROM drive can be used in the
above calculations, but they are non-hot-swappable, and would use up the second
channel of the second adapter for only two devices. Not a good idea if you are
looking for the maximum possible configuration, but useful if you are looking
to cram the most drives in the base 520 unit (18 hot-swap bays plus two
non-hot-swap bays, plus the CD-ROM drive, all off two adapters); plus it saves
on the cost of an expansion unit.
Q. Well, even 24 x 5.31GB (nearly 128GB) is pretty good!
A. Yes, it would be if it were possible, but this is another complicating
factor. Because the IBM 4.51GB and 5.31GB drives are half-height, rather than
slimline drives, you can only fit 3 of them per backplane, instead of 6. So
this means only 12 x 4.51 (54.12 GB), or 12 x 5.31GB (63.72 GB) maximum. If
you use 2.25GB drives (or lower capacity) you can fit 24 drives into the
backplanes, but 24 x 2.25GB gives you the same capacity as 12 x 4.51GB.
Q. If, as you say, the second and third hot-swap backplanes only support up to
6 devices, and the SCSI adapter supports up to 7 devices per channel, is there
any way to connect these backplanes to the two 5.25" bays next to the CD-ROM
drive?
A. Yes. There is an optional cable (P/N 70G9855) that will connect the middle
backplane to either of those two non-hot-swap bays, allowing you to connect a
7th device. It is not long enough, however, to reach the bottom backplane.
Q. What processors can the PC Server 520 models be upgraded to?
A. Processor upgrades available for the primary or secondary ZIF socket include
90MHz, 100MHz, 133MHz, and 166MHz. The -EEx models (Pentium-166) are
upgradeable to one or two P-200 processors. |

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8.3.4. PC Server 7xx-Specific Series Q&As ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This section is devoted to questions specific to the PC Server 7xx series.
PC Server 720
Q. The announcement letter says that the 720 comes with a 512K Level 2 (L2)
cache, and a L3 cache? Is this correct, and if so, how big is the L3 cache?
A. Yes, it is correct. The 192-byte (yes, BYTE) L3 cache (6 lines, at 32 bytes
per line) serves to minimize thrashing of the direct-mapped L2 cache, by
holding some of the small percentage of data that is ejected from the L2 cache.
This increases the "hit ratio" of cache accesses, thus improving performance.
Q. I not clear about how to put 1GB of RAM into a PC Server 720. There doesn't
seem to be enough SIMM sockets.
A. The 720 comes with a riser card connected to the motherboard. This riser
can take up to (16) 32MB SIMMs, for a total of 512MB. To go beyond that you'll
need the optional 0-512MB Memory Adapter, which can hold another (16) SIMMs,
for a total of 1GB. SIMMs must be installed in banks of (8) at a time, and
must be identical within a bank.
Q. I see that the 720 ships with 64MB of ECC RAM (on 8MB SIMMs). Can I mix ECC
and Parity SIMMs in the same system (perhaps on different 512MB Memory
Adapters)?
A. No. SIMMs must be either all parity or all ECC. It doesn't matter whether
they are all on the same 512MB adapter or not.
Q. What is the maximum number of RAID array drives that can be configured for a
Server 720?
A. This is not a simple question. It all depends on what tradeoffs you are
willing to make. The quick answer is 53 array drives, using 4 SCSI-2 RAID
adapters. Even though the adapters each support up to 14 internal and/or
external drives on two channels of 7 drives apiece, it is difficult to reach
the maximum of 56 (4 x 14) devices, due to the design of the 720.
For example, if you decide to fill all 18 internal hot-swap bays, you will need
two RAID adapters. The first 7-device channel connects to both the first 6-bay
backplane and the standard CD-ROM drive. The second channel connects to the
second 6-bay backplane, and the first channel of the second adapter connects to
the third 6-bay backplane. The second channel on the second adapter could then
go to a 7-device expansion unit, like the IBM 3511. Likewise, the two channels
each of the third and fourth adapters would connect to 4 more external 3511s.
This would provide 18 internal hard drives, and 35 external drives, for a total
of 53, plus the CD-ROM drive, for 54 of the 56 possible SCSI devices. The
downside is that 35 of the 53 drives aren't hot-swappable, and to go with the 2
of the external cabinets off the third and fourth RAID adapters you have to use
the RAID adapter daughtercards (supplied with the adapters), which use up two
additional adapter slots, or a total of 6 out of your 7 slots (4 adapters and
two daughter cards) just for the RAID adapters. If you elect to save 1 or 2
adapter slots you reduce your hard drive total by 7 or 14 drives.
Alternatively, if you require that all hard drives be hot-swappable, you can
use IBM 3518 expansion units, which are physically equivalent to the Server 720
cabinets, except for lacking a motherboard. But then each external RAID
adapter channel connects to a 6-bay backplane in the 3518s, instead of a 7-bay
3511. In this configuration, the first adapter could connect to the first
backplane in the 720 and the first backplane in the first 3518 (plus the CD-ROM
drive in the 720), the second adapter would connect to the second backplane in
the 720 and the second backplane in the first 3518, and the third adapter would
connect to the third backplane in each cabinet. The the fourth adapter would
have to go wholly external to a second 3518, using one RAID adapter
daughtercard, connecting to the first two backplanes there. (The third
backplane goes unused.) The good news is that all your drives are
hot-swappable, and you only used 5 adapter slots for this expansion (the four
adapters and one daughtercard). The "bad" news is that you only have 48 array
drives (eight 6-bay backplanes), plus the CD-ROM drive in the 720, instead of
53.
Other configurations, involving different expansion units, and differing
numbers of adapter slots, are possible. But the preceding gives you an idea of
the complexity involved in determining the optimal configuration for each
system.
Note: The two bays in the 720 next to the CD-ROM drive can be used in the
above calculations, but they are non-hot-swappable, and would use up one of the
adapter channels for only two or three devices. Not a good idea if you are
looking for the maximum possible configuration, but useful if you are looking
to cram the most drives into the base 720 unit (18 hot-swap bays plus two
non-hot-swap bays, plus the CD-ROM drive, all off two adapters).
Q. Well, even 48 x 5.31GB (nearly 255GB) is pretty good!
A. Yes, it would be if it were possible, but this is another complicating
factor. Because the IBM 4.51GB and 5.31GB drives are half-height, rather than
slimline drives, you can only fit 3 of them per backplane, instead of 6. So
this means only 24 x 4.51GB (108.24 GB), or 24 x 5.31GB (127.44 GB) maximum.
If you use 2.25GB drives (or lower capacity) you can fit 48 drives into the
backplanes, but 48 x 2.25GB gives you the same capacity as 24 x 4.51GB.
Q. If, as you say, the second and third hot-swap backplanes only support up to
6 devices, and the SCSI adapter supports up to 7 devices per channel, is there
any way to connect these backplanes to the two 5.25" bays next to the CD-ROM
drive?
A. Yes. There is an optional cable (P/N 70G9855) that will connect the middle
backplane to either of those two non-hot-swap bays, allowing you to connect a
7th device. It is not long enough, however, to reach the bottom backplane.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9.1.1. Setting Up OS/2 LAN Server to Share Online Books - Tip ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Here is how to have the OS/2 Command Reference, LAN Command Reference, and
other OS/2 online books accessed by OS/2 requesters from OS/2 LAN Server 3.0 or
later:
1. Create an alias for OS/2's VIEW.EXE program (which is what actually
displays the online books) in the C:\OS2 subdirectory. Give it a
Universal Access Profile (UAP) of R (Read-only). In the example below
the alias is VIEWEXE.
2. Create an alias for the subdirectory containing the books (e.g.,
C:\OS2\BOOK). Also assign it a UAP of R.
3. Create a public OS/2 application for the OS/2 Command Reference (or
whatever book you want to display), and call it CMD_REF. The important
parts of this definition are listed below:
Program Location: Remote
Alias: VIEWEXE
Remaining Path: \
Command Line: VIEW F:\CMD_REF
Note: The command VIEW F:\CMD_REF will start the Command Reference.
(The F: is explained below.)
4. Select the following headings from the OS/2 Administrator's Main Panel.
<Definitions>
<Users> Select a user
<Logon Details>
<File Assignments>
For CMD_REF you must assign a specific drive letter (the example used F: but
any drive letter would do, as long as all the OS/2 requesters have access to
that drive.) You must then make that drive assignment correspond with the
Command Line you have defined in the CMD_REF application (e.g., VIEW
F:\CMD_REF). Then assign * to VIEWEXE.
By completing the above actions OS/2 requesters should be able to access the
online books. To do the same for other online books, simply repeat the steps,
but use the appropriate names, paths, and drivers for those books.
Note: Be sure to make all the INF files read-only, otherwise all concurrent
users after the first will receive "access denied" error messages and be
unable to access these files.
Special note for LAN Server 4.x users: Although these steps will work just as
well with 4.x as with 3.x, the new LAN Server GUI makes it even simpler to set
up public applications. For more information, refer to Setting Up LAN Server
Online Books for Network Viewing in the online LAN Server book Up and
Running!.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9.1.2. OS/2 LAN Server Guest User ID Problem - Tip ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
There are some unique characteristics about the Guest ID and Guest Group that
are not obvious to most network administrators. Both RIPL and disk boot DLR
machines need the Guest ID to get DLR files from the \IBMLAN\DOSLAN\NET
directory to start the network. The DLR machine that is trying to start will
display a message that the server is not available or that it cannot copy
XSRW.BAT. This can happen if an apply has been done above the NET directory
with insufficient access rights. Access to needed files are being denied. To
correct this problem just have the administrator give the Guest ID "R" access
to the IBMLAN\DOSLAN\NET directory.
Another known cause of this problem is if the Guest ID has been deleted or
given a password. This can be resolved by adding the Guest ID back or remove
the password requirement for the Guest ID.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9.1.3. Slow-Starting Domain Controller with Many Additional Servers - Tip ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
If the OS/2 LAN Server IBMLAN.INI file of the domain controller contains the
parameter: Update = Yes it means that when the server is starting, the NET.ACC
for every additional server must be updated. If there are many additional
servers on the network it could take a long time before all the NET.ACC files
have been updated. This will increase the network activity and therefore the
server will run somewhat slower until the files have been updated on all
additional servers.
The update parameter can be changed from Yes to No on the domain controller.
This will not require NET.ACC to be updated on each server before the domain
controller can complete startup. The NET.ACC file on the servers will be
updated as changes are made to it but all servers are not updated when the
domain controller is being started.
The additional servers still need to have Update = Yes. This will get a new
NET.ACC for the additional server at the startup of the additional server.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9.1.4. OS/2 LAN Server Access Control Profile Problems - Tip ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The LAN Server 2.0 Network Administrator's Guide describes how the Access
Control Profile system checks for a users access to a resource. It does a good
job of explaining the subject but this further information may clear up some
questions.
Note 1, at the bottom of page 6-8, explains that for a files resource the root
is C: and not C:\.
C: = Root of the C: drive.
C:\ = Root Directory of the C: drive.
The Access Control system sees C: as the Root and C:\ as just the first
directory on the drive. This is an important distinction.
If a user tries to access a resource that has no Access Control Profile the
Access Control Profile system will end up looking for a profile for the Root,
C: not C:\. If a profile can be found for the Root then access to the resource
will be based on the users access to the Root, C: not C:\. If no profile for
the root is found access to the resource is denied.
Anyone who has ever tried to create a profile for an alias has found that the
field for the Server path to the Directory requires a "\" as the first
character. With this requirement how can one ever make a profile for C: alone?
This can only be done by creating an Access Control Profile for a Non-Alias.
To do this, using the full screen interface from the Main Panel, choose
Definitions then Access Control. At the Manage Access Control - Alias menu
press the F10 key and select Servers. Press Enter to select Display Profiles by
Server. Select the server you want the profile on and the Manage Access
Control - Non-Alias should be displayed. From this menu one should be able to
select New and Create and a profile for C:, the root, can be created.
This is also true for other drives letters besides C:.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9.1.5. IBM PC/3270 and NetWare From IBM Interoperability - Tip ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
In the past few months several questions have arisen concerning the use of
Personal Communications/3270 (PC/3270) with NetWare. The following paragraphs
discuss two methods (which have been thoroughly tested) of running both
products concurrently on workstations using Expanded memory.
1) A directly attached PC/3270 session and NetWare will operate simultaneously.
To accomplish this, load PC/3270 into expanded memory, "Hot Key" to DOS, and
start NetWare IPX.COM. This allows the workstation to run applications under
PC/3270 and NetWare concurrently. If PC/3270 is not loaded into expanded
memory, some NetWare applications will not work due to memory requirements.
An alternate way of achieving the same function (as above) is to start PC/3270
from a user defined menu under NetWare. Make sure that the PC/3270 directory
on the workstation is mapped to a NetWare search drive in the workstation's
user login script. This allows the file server to search for and execute the
PC/3270 batch file. (Note: To execute from the menu, all users must recognize
the same PC/3270 batch file. When creating the menu, do not change directories
when calling the batch file. This will lock up the workstation.)
2) PC/3270 is the only IBM emulator supported working with NetWare and
Token-Ring. (Ethernet testing was not completed in time for this article.)
The methods for implementing PC/3270 over a Token-Ring Gateway concurrently
with NetWare are as follows: PC/3270 requires the IBM LAN Support program to
provide a NetBIOS interface.
1) Configure the NetWare workstation for IBM LAN Support rather than
Token-Ring.
2) Add parameters to the NetBIOS LAN Support driver as follows:
DEVICE=d:\path\DXMT0MOD.SYS ES=2 EST=2 O=Y
(It is necessary for LAN Support to open the adapter (O=Y) so that when IPX.COM
is loaded, it will not take all of the available resources on the adapter.)
After rebooting the system, start IPX.COM and NETx.COM (where x denotes the
version of DOS being used) and then PC/3270 or vice versa.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9.2.1. An Introduction to SCSI Devices - Tip ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
SCSI, pronounced "scuzzy," stands for Small Computer System Interface. SCSI-1
standards are defined by ANSI X3.131.1986. The newer SCSI-2 specifications are
defined by ANSI X3T9.2/375R revision 10K, 1993.
The SCSI standards define common command sets that are programmed into ROM
(Read-Only Memory) on the adapters and is accessed via system BIOS as normal
hard disk commands. Besides hard disk and CD ROM drives, there are many other
SCSI devices available, including tape and rewritable optical drives, printers,
scanners, and other devices.
The SCSI architecture allows 8 devices per SCSI bus. The controller itself is
a device so seven additional physical devices can be attached. Each physical
device can have 7 logical devices attached to it as well. In theory, 64
addressable devices can be attached to a single SCSI controller. In practice,
the total is usually closer to 7. But the SCSI specifications allow multiple
SCSI adapters to co-reside in a system.
This sounds complex, so let us simplify. One intelligent SCSI adapter is
installed into a system. To this adapter we can attach a SCSI device such as a
hard disk, printer or other device. It occupies a physical address as defined
by switches or jumpers on the device. On IBM and Future Domain SCSI adapters a
device can be addressed as ID "0", having the lowest priority, or as device
"6", having the highest priority or anywhere in between, with ID 7 reserved for
the adapter itself. (Adaptec and other SCSI adapters use ID 0 for the
adapter.) Slow devices usually are set for a low priority and faster devices
are set for higher priorities. If we were to add an intelligent device, one
that functions as a "sub" controller, this intelligent device, or more
correctly, this controller can have additional devices attached to it. These
devices would have logical addresses rather than physical addresses. These
addresses are referred to as PUA's (Physical Unit Addresses) or LUA's, (Logical
unit addresses).
SCSI devices have a data transfer rate measured in Kilobytes per Second (KBps)
for slow devices such as CD-ROM and most tape drives, or Megabytes per second
(MBps) for hard disk drives, between the system and the controller, and a
different data transfer rate between the controller and the device. For
example, the IBM SCSI Adapter with Cache (and its motherboard equivalent) that
is standard in many PS/2 models has a data transfer rate of 16.6 MBytes/second
between the system and the controller; the transfer rate between the controller
and the device is up to 5MBps (for fast devices like hard drives). 5MBps is a
limitation of the 8-bit SCSI-1 architecture. SCSI-2 allows for 10MBps (8-bit
Fast, or 16-bit Wide SCSI-2 devices), 20MBps (16-bit Fast/Wide, or 32-bit
Double-Wide SCSI-2 devices), or 40MBps (32-bit Fast/Double-Wide SCSI-2 devices)
data transfers between the controller and SCSI-2 devices designed to operate
with those adapters. (Different SCSI-2 adapters support different aspects of
SCSI-2; for example FAST SCSI-2 adapters do not support Wide SCSI-2
devices--you would need a Fast/Wide SCSI-2 adapter to support Fast, Wide, and
Fast/Wide devices.) SCSI-2 will also support SCSI-1 devices, although at the
slower SCSI-1 speeds, on the same controller with SCSI-2 devices. Most SCSI
adapters support both internally and externally-attached SCSI devices
concurrently. There are even newer "dual-channel" SCSI adapters that support
up to 7 internal and 7 external SCSI devices at once, as iff attached to two
separate adapters.
Various attachment cables and expansion units are also available. An external
"option to option" cable is available for device to device attachment. It uses
the standard 50 pin SCSI connector. A "card to option" cable is also available
to convert the 60-pin connector used on IBM Micro Channel adapters to the 50
pin SCSI standard connector on the first external device. The large 50 pin
connector is too big to mount on a Micro Channel adapter so a more compact
60-pin connector was used. ISA adapters use the standard 50-pin connector.
If there isn't sufficient expansion capacity within the computer, external SCSI
expansion cabinets may be added, using a Card-to-Option cable. For example, an
IBM 3510 cabinet provides one half-height bay and a 32-watt power supply. The
3511 (which is essentially a PS/2 Model 95 without the motherboard) offers 8
drive bays, both 3.5" and 5.25" and a 400-watt power supply. IBM 3514 disk
array subsystem provides additional function, using RAID 5 and other
fault-tolerance features, appearing to the operating system as one large disk
drive.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9.2.2. Duplexing Drives on a SCSI PS/2 - Tip ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
If you are setting up a SCSI-equipped PS/2 system for duplex operation, install
a second SCSI controller, and all drives and options that will be in the
system. One drive on the second controller should be set for SCSI ID 6. This
will enable the system to boot from this drive in the event of failure. Be
sure to copy all Option Diskettes to the system partition and then follow the
steps below.
1. Boot the system to the system partition and configure the system as
necessary. If anything has to be changed manually, this is the time to do
it. It will save much time later.
2. Insert a blank 1.44MB diskette in drive A:. (It will become a Reference
Diskette.)
3. Back up the system partition to the blank Reference Diskette.
4. Turn the system off and swap the SCSI cables at the controller end.
(This will make the new drive the boot drive from the original adapter.)
5. Boot to the Reference Diskette just made, and restore the system
partition to the new drive.
If the drives are the same, the system will not need to be reconfigured. To
simplify recovery in the event of failure it is recommended that 1) the drives
be of the same capacity on both controllers, 2) both controllers have the same
number of physical drives, and 3) the addresses be set the same on both the
adapters and the drives. (Each adapter has, for example, SCSI ID 7 for the
controller, SCSI ID 6 for the first drive on each controller, SCSI ID 5 for
the second drive on each controller and so forth.) This enables the system to
be brought back up without having to be reconfigured in some cases.
In the event of drive failure, the cables can be swapped at the controller end
to get the system back in operation. In the event of a controller failure,
the failing controller can be removed. Remember, both drives have system
partitions on them, but the drive set to SCSI ID 6, and attached to the SCSI
adapter in the lowest numbered slot is the only one that can load the system
partition. If we remove the adapter from slot 1, the system will boot from
the adapter in slot 2. The system will need to be reconfigured, but that can
be done from the existing system partition on the backup drive.
If any drive or controller is removed, the system will need to be
reconfigured, but if the system is powered down and the defective component is
swapped with a good component of the same specification, the system will not
need to be reconfigured.

Integra Technologies' OASAS I 2.0, or EZRAID from Pro Engineering.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9.2.3. How PS/2 Selective Boot Assigns Drive Letters - Tip ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The PS/2 Models 56/57/76/77/85/90/95 (and any other IBM systems with selective
boot) will boot from any physical hard drive or floppy drive in the machine
(but not logical drives). For example, 2 physical hard drives could be a 160MB
SCSI drive defaulting to drive C: and a 320MB drive defaulting to drive D:.
When you use the Reference Diskette to change the boot sequence, you are
indicating what sequence you would like the system to check for bootable
devices. For example:
Boot device 1: 1.44MB Diskette Drive (A:)
Boot device 2: 160MB, SCSI ID = 6 (C:)
Boot device 3: 320MB, SCSI ID = 5 (D:)
Could be changed to this:
Boot Device 1: 1.44MB Diskette Drive (A:)
Boot Device 2: 320MB, SCSI ID = 5 (C:)
Boot Device 3: 160MB, SCSI ID = 6 (D:)
In the first example the system will try to boot the diskette drive first. If
it does not find a bootable diskette it will try to boot from the 160MB hard
disk; then the 320MB drive. The 160MB drive is C: and the 320MB drive is D:.
In the second example, the 320MB drive is C: and the 160MB drive is D:.
Whenever you change the boot sequence, the system warns you that drive letters
will be changed and/or rearranged.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9.2.4. Understanding PS/2 Model Numbers - Tip ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
There have been so many different PS/2 models, past and present, that it can be
difficult to tell them apart just by the model numbers. The following is an
attempt to explain the meaning behind these numbers. Despite appearances, the
numbers and letters do have specific meanings (although in a few cases their
use is not totally consistent).
In an attempt to simplify the process of understanding model differences,
recently IBM started using a new system for designating models. So, below you
will find two sets of explanations, one for the older scheme, and the other for
the new method:
Note: @ = A or B; * = Any number or letter.
Old Method: (PS/2 Models 25, 25-286, 30, 30-286, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, P70, P75,

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9.2.6. PC Server 720 Memory Configuration and Considerations - Tip ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
When adding memory to a PC Server 720, keep the following limitations and
restrictions in mind:
8MB, 16MB and 32MB SIMMs must be installed in sets of 8 per bank. This
is required to enable 4-way interleaved memory, for better performance.
8MB SIMMs cannot be mixed with 16MB or 32MB SIMMs on the same card.
16MB and 32MB memory can be mixed on a memory card but cannot mixed
within a bank.
For any memory card the largest SIMM size must be in bank 1. Bank 1 is
the left bank when the card is viewed face up.
When both cards are installed, the card with the largest SIMM size must
be fully populated with SIMMs of the same size.
The optional (second) 0-512MB Memory card comes with no memory installed.
There are 2 banks of 8 sockets each on the card. Therefore it is
possible to install a maximum of 512MB per card using sixteen 32MB SIMMs.
A maximum of 2 memory cards can be installed in the system for a total
system memory of 2 x 512MB cards or 1GB of system memory. If a second
memory card is installed, the maximum number of processors installed in
the system is limited to 5 rather than 6.
All models of the PC Server 720 come with 64MB of ECC memory installed on
one memory card in the 133MHz systems, and with 128MB of memory in the
166MHz systems. To achieve the full 512MB of memory on the first memory
card the original 8 x 8MB or 8 x 16MB SIMMs must be replaced.
The following table shows allowable memory configurations. There are 8 SIMMs
of each type per bank (e.g., "8MB" means 8 x 8MB SIMMs; --- means that the
bank is empty).

All memory SIMMs must be installed in matched (capacity and speed) pairs.
If a power failure occurs during a Flash BIOS update. the motherboard may
become unusable, requiring replacement.
If all I/O card slots are populated, average wattage of the I/O cards
should be limited to 8.5 Watts. Populating all I/O card slots with
options that have an average load of greater than 8.5 Watts will cause
recommended thermal limits in the I/O card area to be exceeded.

A mouse cannot be used with the IBM Quiet Touch Keyboard with TrackPoint
II (84-key).
All memory SIMMs must be installed in matched (capacity and speed) pairs.
If a power failure occurs during a Flash BIOS update. the motherboard may
become unusable, requiring replacement.
If all I/O card slots are populated, average wattage of the I/O cards
should be limited to 8.5 Watts. Populating all I/O card slots with
options that have an average load of greater than 8.5 Watts will cause
recommended thermal limits in the I/O card area to be exceeded.

Limitations
Return to the PC Server 320-EE0/EE1/EES/EEV header.
A maximum of (2) IBM SCSI-2 Fast/Wide PCI RAID adapters may be used in a
PC Server 320.
All memory SIMMs must be installed in matched (capacity and speed) pairs.
EISA slots 1, 2, and 3, and PCI slots 0 and 1 support full-length
adapters. The remaining slots support half-length adapters.
Parity SIMMs and ECC-on-SIMM modules cannot be mixed in the same system.
You must remove all of one type of SIMM before installing the other.
The use of two Pentium processors requires a compatible SMP-enabled
operating system, such as OS/2 2.11 for SMP, NetWare 4.11 SMP, or Windows
NT Advanced Server 3.51, or later versions. Processor speeds may not be
mixed.
When a second Pentium processor is added, it is recommended for
performance reasons that the L2 processor cache be upgraded to 512K, and
the RAM be upgraded to 32MB or more.
High-performance BIOS uses 128KB of system memory, and an additional
256KB is reserved for installing options that may require additional
memory for BIOS shadowing.

Limitations
Return to the PC Server 320-0X0/0XT header.
A maximum of (2) IBM SCSI-2 Fast/Wide PCI RAID adapters may be used in a
PC Server 320.
All memory SIMMs must be installed in matched (capacity and speed) pairs.
EISA slots 1, 2, and 3, and PCI slots 0 and 1 support full-length
adapters. The remaining slots support half-length adapters.
Parity SIMMs and ECC-on-SIMM modules cannot be mixed in the same system.
You must remove all of one type of SIMM before installing the other.
The SCSI FAST/Wide PCI adapter contains two Fast/Wide ports and one Fast
port. Any two of these ports can be used in combination, but not all
three.
The use of two Pentium processors requires a compatible SMP-enabled
operating system, such as OS/2 2.11 for SMP, NetWare 4.11 SMP, or Windows
NT Advanced Server 3.51, or later versions.
When a second Pentium processor is added, it is recommended for
performance reasons that the L2 processor cache be upgraded to 512K, and
the RAM be upgraded to 32MB or more.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 12.2.5. PC Server 320-0Y0/0YT/1Y0/1YT Tech Specs ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The EISA/PCI-based PC Server 320 models -0Y0, -0YT, -1Y0, and -1YT are
identical except for the number and capacity of hard drives, and the use of a
SCSI-2 Fast/Wide controller or a SCSI RAID controller. Therefore all models
will be covered by this one document. Differences will be indicated by model
number in parentheses.
Note: These models have been withdrawn.

A maximum of (2) IBM SCSI-2 Fast/Wide PCI RAID adapters may be used in a
PC Server 320.
All memory SIMMs must be installed in matched (capacity and speed) pairs.
EISA slots 1, 2, and 3, and PCI slots 0 and 1 support full-length
adapters. The remaining slots support half-length adapters.
Parity SIMMs and ECC-on-SIMM modules cannot be mixed in the same system.
You must remove all of one type of SIMM before installing the other.
The SCSI FAST/Wide PCI adapter contains two Fast/Wide ports and one Fast
port. Any two of these ports can be used in combination, but not all
three.
The use of two Pentium processors requires a compatible SMP-enabled
operating system, such as OS/2 2.11 for SMP, NetWare 4.11 SMP, or Windows
NT Advanced Server 3.51, or later versions.
When a second Pentium processor is added, it is recommended for
performance reasons that the L2 processor cache be upgraded to 512K, and
the RAM be upgraded to 32MB or more.

The EISA/PCI-based PC Server 320 models -0D0, -0DV, -1D0, -1DS, -2D0, -3D0,
-IS2, -NTN, and -SUN are identical except for the number and capacity of hard
drives, the type of memory included, and the use of a SCSI-2 Fast/Wide
controller or a SCSI RAID controller. Therefore all models will be covered by
this one document. Differences will be indicated by model number in
parentheses.
Note: Models 1D0/1DS have been withdrawn.

NT Advanced Server 3.51, or later versions.
When a second Pentium processor is added, it is recommended for
performance reasons that the L2 processor cache be upgraded to 512K, and
the RAM be upgraded to 32MB or more.

A maximum of (2) IBM SCSI-2 Fast/Wide PCI RAID adapters may be used in a
PC Server 320.
All memory SIMMs must be installed in matched (capacity and speed) pairs.
EISA slots 1, 2, and 3, and PCI slots 0 and 1 support full-length
adapters. The remaining slots support half-length adapters.
Parity SIMMs and ECC-on-SIMM modules cannot be mixed in the same system.
You must remove all of one type of SIMM before installing the other.
The SCSI FAST/Wide PCI adapter contains two Fast/Wide ports and one Fast
port. Any two of these ports can be used in combination, but not all
three.
The use of two Pentium processors requires a compatible SMP-enabled
operating system, such as OS/2 2.11 for SMP, NetWare 4.11 SMP, or Windows
NT Advanced Server 3.51, or later versions.
When a second Pentium processor is added, it is recommended for
performance reasons that the L2 processor cache be upgraded to 512K, and
the RAM be upgraded to 32MB or more.

Limitations
Return to the PC Server 320-MX0/MXT header.
All memory SIMMs must be installed in matched (capacity and speed) pairs.
EISA slots 1, 2, and 3, and PCI slots 0 and 1 support full-length
adapters. The remaining slots support half-length adapters.
Parity SIMMs and ECC-on-SIMM modules cannot be mixed in the same system.
You must remove all of one type of SIMM before installing the other.
PCI/Micro Channel systems support a maximum of (2) Type 5 MCA adapters
(such as the IBM Ethernet Quad Peermaster Server Adapter/A).
The SCSI FAST/Wide PCI adapter contains two Fast/Wide ports and one Fast
port. Any two of these ports can be used in combination, but not all
three.
The use of two Pentium processors requires a compatible SMP-enabled
operating system, such as OS/2 2.11 for SMP, NetWare 4.11 SMP, or Windows
NT Advanced Server 3.51, or later versions.
When a second Pentium processor is added, it is recommended for
performance reasons that the L2 processor cache be upgraded to 512K, and
the RAM be upgraded to 32MB or more.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 12.2.10. PC Server 320-MY0/MYR/MYT Tech Specs ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Micro Channel/PCI-based PC Server 320 models -MY0, -MYR, and -MYT are
identical except for the number and capacity of hard drives, and the use of a
SCSI-2 Fast/Wide controller or a SCSI RAID controller. Therefore all models
will be covered by this one document. Differences will be indicated by model
number in parentheses.
Note: These models have been withdrawn.

Limitations
Return to the PC Server 320-MZ0/MZ1/MZ2/MZV header.
A maximum of (2) IBM SCSI-2 Fast/Wide PCI RAID adapters may be used in a
PC Server 320.
All memory SIMMs must be installed in matched (capacity and speed) pairs.
EISA slots 1, 2, and 3, and PCI slots 0 and 1 support full-length
adapters. The remaining slots support half-length adapters.
Parity SIMMs and ECC-on-SIMM modules cannot be mixed in the same system.
You must remove all of one type of SIMM before installing the other.
PCI/Micro Channel systems support a maximum of (2) Type 5 MCA adapters
(such as the IBM Ethernet Quad Peermaster Server Adapter/A).
The SCSI FAST/Wide PCI adapter contains two Fast/Wide ports and one Fast
port. Any two of these ports can be used in combination, but not all
three.
The use of two Pentium processors requires a compatible SMP-enabled
operating system, such as OS/2 2.11 for SMP, NetWare 4.11 SMP, or Windows
NT Advanced Server 3.51, or later versions.
When a second Pentium processor is added, it is recommended for
performance reasons that the L2 processor cache be upgraded to 512K, and
the RAM be upgraded to 32MB or more.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 12.2.12. PC Server 320-MD0/MD2/MDS/MDV Tech Specs ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Micro Channel/PCI-based PC Server 320 models -MD0, -MD2, -MDS, and -MDV are
identical except for the number and capacity of hard drives, the type of memory
included, and the use of a SCSI-2 Fast/Wide controller or a SCSI RAID
controller. Therefore all models will be covered by this one document.
Differences will be indicated by model number in parentheses.
Note: Models MD0/MDS/MDV have been withdrawn.

Return to the PC Server 520-ED2/EDG/EE0/EE1/EEE/EEL header.
A maximum of (2) IBM SCSI-2 Fast/Wide PCI RAID adapters may be used in a
PC Server 520.
All memory SIMMs must be installed in matched (capacity and speed) pairs.
EISA slots 1, 2, and 3, and PCI slots 0 and 1 support full-length
adapters. The remaining slots support half-length adapters.
Parity SIMMs and ECC-on-SIMM modules cannot be mixed in the same system.
You must remove all of one type of SIMM before installing the other.
The SCSI FAST/Wide PCI adapter contains two Fast/Wide ports and one Fast
port. Any two of these ports can be used in combination, but not all
three.
The use of two Pentium processors requires a compatible SMP-enabled
operating system, such as OS/2 2.11 for SMP, NetWare 4.11 SMP, or Windows
NT Advanced Server 3.51, or later versions.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13.1.3. PC Server 520-EZ0/EZ1/EZE/EZS/EZV Tech Specs ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The PCI/EISA-based PC Server 520 models -EZ0, -EZ1, -EZE, -EZS, and -EZV are
identical except for the number and capacity of hard drives, and the use of a
SCSI-2 Fast/Wide controller or a SCSI RAID controller. Therefore all models
will be covered by this one document. Differences will be indicated by model
number in parentheses.

Return to the PC Server 520-MZ0/MZE/MZL/MZS/MZV header.
A maximum of (2) IBM SCSI-2 Fast/Wide PCI RAID adapters may be used in a
PC Server 520.
All memory SIMMs must be installed in matched (capacity and speed) pairs.
EISA slots 1, 2, and 3, and PCI slots 0 and 1 support full-length
adapters. The remaining slots support half-length adapters.
Parity SIMMs and ECC-on-SIMM modules cannot be mixed in the same system.
You must remove all of one type of SIMM before installing the other.
PCI/Micro Channel systems support a maximum of (2) Type 5 MCA adapters
(such as the IBM Ethernet Quad Peermaster Server Adapter/A).
The SCSI FAST/Wide PCI adapter contains two Fast/Wide ports and one Fast
port. Any two of these ports can be used in combination, but not all
three.
The use of two Pentium processors requires a compatible SMP-enabled
operating system, such as OS/2 2.11 for SMP, NetWare 4.11 SMP, or Windows
NT Advanced Server 3.51, or later versions.

PC Server 720 Memory Configuration and Considerations
A maximum of (2) IBM SCSI-2 Fast/Wide PCI RAID adapters may be used in a
PC Server 720.
EISA slots 1, 2, and 3, and PCI slots 0 and 1 support full-length
adapters. The remaining slots support half-length adapters.
Parity SIMMs and ECC-on-SIMM modules cannot be mixed in the same system.
You must remove all of one type of SIMM before installing the other.
PCI/Micro Channel systems support a maximum of (2) Type 5 MCA adapters
(such as the IBM Ethernet Quad Peermaster Server Adapter/A).
The SCSI FAST/Wide PCI adapter contains two Fast/Wide ports and one Fast
port. Any two of these ports can be used in combination, but not all
three.
The use of two Pentium processors requires a compatible SMP-enabled
operating system, such as OS/2 2.11 for SMP, NetWare 4.11 SMP, or Windows
NT Advanced Server 3.51, or later versions.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 14.2.2. PC Server 720-0D0/0DN/2DS Tech Specs ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The PCI/Micro Channel-based PC Server 720 models -0D0, -0DN, and -2DS are
identical except for the number and capacity of hard drives, the number of
installed processors, and the use of a SCSI-2 Fast/Wide controller or a SCSI
RAID controller. Therefore all models will be covered by this one document.
Differences will be indicated by model number in parentheses.

PC Server 720 Memory Configuration and Considerations
A maximum of (2) IBM SCSI-2 Fast/Wide PCI RAID adapters may be used in a
PC Server 720.
EISA slots 1, 2, and 3, and PCI slots 0 and 1 support full-length
adapters. The remaining slots support half-length adapters.
Parity SIMMs and ECC-on-SIMM modules cannot be mixed in the same system.
You must remove all of one type of SIMM before installing the other.
PCI/Micro Channel systems support a maximum of (2) Type 5 MCA adapters
(such as the IBM Ethernet Quad Peermaster Server Adapter/A).
The SCSI FAST/Wide PCI adapter contains two Fast/Wide ports and one Fast
port. Any two of these ports can be used in combination, but not all
three.
The use of two Pentium processors requires a compatible SMP-enabled
operating system, such as OS/2 2.11 for SMP, NetWare 4.11 SMP, or Windows
NT Advanced Server 3.51, or later versions.

(6p) The Ethernet Quad PeerMaster Server Adapter is a very high-performance
32-bit PCI Ethernet 10BaseT adapter that acts as the equivalent of four
separate adapters, in one slot, providing four Ethernet segments. Up to two
such adapters (for a total of 8 segments) may be used in one PC. The use of an
Intel I960 RISC processor on the adapter allows it to offload all Ethernet
bridging activity from the PC system processor, including peer-to-peer
switching between adapters. Each segment runs at the full 10Mbps, for a total
bandwidth of 80Mbps per server when using two of these adapters.
