Introduction
MOSS is the service processor of the communication controller. It performs IPL
functions, machine initialization, and provides the operator with tools for problem
determination.
The 3745 Model 130/150/160/170/17A MOSS is based on a microprocessor which
controls a 2MB main storage, the MIOC buses, the channel adapters, the disks
(hard disk and flexible disk), the consoles (local, remote/alternate, and RSF) on
model 1x0 or a service processor on model 17A.
MOSS interconnects with the power control card which drives the control panel.
The MOSS logic, the flexible disk drive, and the hard disk drive are powered by a
specific power supply, so that removing power from the MOSS board does not
impair the operation of the system.
On 3745 Model 17A, the MLA card links the MOSS to the service processor via the
LAN. The MLA card interfaces to the MOSS processor (MPC card) via the MMIO
bus.
MOSS Processor
The MOSS processor drives the MOSS. It has its own instruction set, and does
the usual processing activities: instruction fetching, instruction decoding, and
instruction execution.
The MOSS processor responds to interrupts from the CCU, from its attached
adapters (LAs, CAs), and from its own error detection circuits. It controls access to
the MOSS storage. The MOSS processor is packaged on the MPC card.
Packaging
Refer to Figure 8-3 on page 8-6 for MOSS structure on 3745 Models 130-170 and
to Figure 8-4 on page 8-7 for MOSS structure on 3745 Model 17A. The MOSS
board includes:
A MOSS processor card (MPC) with a 32-KB ROS, a time-of-day (TOD) clock,
a storage error correction and checking circuit. The MPC card connects UC
buses, the MSC card and the power control card (PCC).
Note: Each time that the MOSS is reset, a led is lit on the MPC card. This
led is turned OFF by the ROS microcode when the connection with the PCC
card is established.
A 1-MB RAM MOSS storage card (MSC) on 3745 Models 130-170 or a 2-MB
RAM MOSS storage card on 3745 Model 17A.
A power control card (PCC), which interconnects the MOSS control panel to the
MPC card. The PCC card is powered by PS2 in the primary power box, in
order to allow the remote power function, and manages the whole power
control subsystem (see Chapter 10 for details).
On models 1x0, a MOSS and console adapter card (MCC) containing:
– One adapter module for CCU bus
