Fujitsu S120 Series User manual

1Introduction
The range of BS2000/OSD servers has been extended by the addition of the S120 series.
The spectrum of user facilities of the new models lies betweeen that of the S115 and the
S135. They are powerful systems for scientific and commercial applications.
The S120 Business Server (or cluster) has a modular structure and can easily be upgraded
on site.
The main memory can be expanded by up to 2 Gbytes.
The input/output system consists of 1 I/O processor. Up to 64 channels can therefore be
configured for connecting peripheral devices with type-2, type-S or type-F channel inter-
faces. LAN networking is possible via the 3970-SKP servive/console processor, a connec-
tion to the TRANSDATA network world via front-end processors.
The service processor (SVP) and the external 3970-SKP service/console processor
support common operation,monitoring,diagnosis andmaintenanceofthecomputer as well
as TELESERVICE.
Like all computers in the 7.500 system family and the S1xx server series, the S120
Business Server uses the BS2000 operating system in either dialog, online teleprocessing
(OLTP) or batch mode. This offers the portability and compatibility of BS2000 programs.
1.1 Objectives and target group
This manual provides you with all the information you require to operate the S120 Business
Server via the service/console processor, and is thus intended for operators and system
managers.
Knowledge of BS2000 system operation and management as well as basic knowledge of
SINIX are required.
Further manuals with information on the operation of BS2000, SINIX and TELESERVICE
are listed under “Related publications” at the back of this manual.

bility". The product bears the EC certificate.
2.2 RFI suppression
WARNING: This is a class A equipment. This equipment may cause interference to
radio and television reception in a residential installation. If it does cause inter-
ference, the user may be requested to take appropriate corrective measures at his
or her own cost.
The devices generate and emit high-frequency energy.
If the devices are installed and used other than as instructed in the manual, failures in the
devices or other electric systems may occur. If failures of this type occur it is the task of the
user to carry out measurements and implement measures to solve the problem. Only the
cables supplied with the system or recommended by Fujitsu Siemens Computers may be
used.
All other devices which are connected to the present product must be radio interference
suppressed in accordance with BMPT Order No. 1046/84 and Order No. 243/91 or EU
Directive 89/336/EEC. Products which satisfy this requirements are provided with an appro-
priate certificate by the manufacturer and bear the CE mark or the interference suppression
symbol.

3Overview
This chapter provides information on the configuration levels and the configuration of the
S120 Business Server series and the concept of system operation.
Figure 2: S120 Business Server with additional cabinet
The S120 Business Server consists of a cabinet plus an additional cabinet for channel
expansions.

Configuration levels of the S120 Business Server Overview
3.1 Configuration levels of the S120 Business Server
The S120 Business Server series consists of four models. Upgrading of the individual
models can easily be carried out on site, so that system downtime is not extended due to
hardware installation.
The S120 models can have multiple channel groups. Thus a reconfiguration is possible for
these models if there is a partial failure.

Concept of system operation Overview
The following hardware and software components are important for the operation of S120:
 Service processor (SVP) in the S120 CPU.
This is responsible for the following tasks in the S120 CPU:
– initialization
– monitoring
– controlling
– hardware diagnosis
 The service/console processor (3970-SKP) with the SINIX operating system.
Operation of the S120 system is handled via a local PC, the 3970-SKP service/console
processor. S120 and 3970-SKP communicate with one another in three ways:
– serial line (V.24)
– type-S I/O channel
– internal LAN connection
The following components can be operated via the local 3970-SKP screen and remote
secondary consoles:
– the SINIX system of the 3970-SKP
– the SVP of the S120
– the BS2000 running on the S120
– consoles for up to 7 VM2000 guest systems
– BS2000 applications via 9750 emulation
 Automatic Operator (ATOP).
The ATOP is a device which is connected to the 3970-SKP via a serial line. It makes the
following functions possible:
– automatic switching on and off of the S120
– automatic operation of the BS2000 system
The customer can program the ATOP to specify which operating functions should
be executed for which conditions.
Examples:
– automatic shutdown of the system in the case of fan failure.
– automatic command entry in reaction to certain BS2000 console messages.
 It is possible to connect a radio-controlled clock or Global Time Server (GTS).
 On/off facility makes it possible to switch the S120 on and off from the 3970-SKP.
