1 Introduction
The range of BS2000/OSD servers has been extended by the addition of the S140 series.
The spectrum of user facilities of the new models lies betweeen that of the S135 and the
S150. They are powerful systems for scientific and commercial applications.
The S140 Business Server (or cluster) has a modular structure and can easily be upgraded
on site.
The main memory can be expanded by up to 8 Gbytes. Optional global storage (GSP or
SSU) can be upgraded to maximum of 64 Gbytes and if desired can have a battery buffer.
The input/output system consists of 1 I/O processor. Up to 128 channels can therefore be
configured for connecting peripheral devices with type-2, type-S or type-F channel inter-
faces. LAN networking is possible via the 3970-SKP servive/console processor, a connec-
tion to the TRANSDATA network world via front-end processors.
The service processor (SVP) and the external 3970-SKP service/console processor
support common operation, monitoring, diagnosis and maintenance of the computer as well
as TELESERVICE.
Several S140 models can easily be integrated into a HIPLEX network with a jointly used
global storage.
Like all computers in the 7.500 system family and the S1xx server series, the S140
Business Server uses the BS2000 operating system in either dialog, OLTP or batch mode.
This offers the portability and compatibility of BS2000 programs.
1.1 Objectives and target group
This manual provides you with all the information you require to operate the S140 Business
Server via the service/console processor, and is thus intended for operators and system
managers.
Knowledge of BS2000 system operation and management as well as basic knowledge of
SINIX are required.
Further manuals with information on the operation of BS2000, SINIX and TELESERVICE
are listed under “Related publications” at the back of this manual.
