For ICP, the keypad is used to review error information and to issue
commands. Using the keypad, you can key in a command or request additional
information about any status condition shown on the 4-digit display. The keypad
has 16 keys, hexadecimal numbers 0 through F.
There are four keys on the operator panel that are defined by the ICP:
- Channel 1 On/Off Toggle
Channel 1 adapter online and offline.
- Channel 2 On/Off Toggle Channel
2 adapter online and offline.
- Clear If you make a mistake
keying in a command and want to start again.
- Enter Use this key to confirm
an entry.
Note: Channel 1 On/Off key and Channel 2 On/Off
key are disabled for the following ICP configurations:
- ICP LAN Gateway function with the ESCON Adapter
- ICP CTC function.
The following types of channel adapters are available:
- 3172 Int. Controller S/370 Channel Adapter (Parallel Channel Adapter)
- 3172 Int. Controller ESCON Adapter (ESCON Adapter).
Processor Card (66 MHz) P/N 06H7317 (New) (Type 4) Pentium requires Reference
Diskettes V5.2 dated 8/22/95 or later for diskettes A, B, & C.
(Post requires V5.2 dated 8/24/95.)
Processor Card (90 MHz) P/N 06H7095 (New) (Type 5) Pentium requires Reference
Diskettes V5.2.3 or later.
If you are running ICP, the 66 MHz processor requires ICP Version 3 Release 3.
Previous releases of ICP are not supporter.
The 50 MHz processor requires at least ICP Version 3 Release 2.
Product Description
Model 1
This was a new product designed to supersede the earlier 8232 LAN Channel
Station. Now withdrawn, the Model 1 was the first of this family of LAN/Host
gateways. It featured an 80386 processor and an IBM Micro Channel Architecture
supporting up to four LAN adapters and two host channels. In addition, this
model had the capability for remote channel-to-channel services.
Oriented to TCP/IP connectivity, the Model 1 was initially designed to be
used with the Interconnect Controller Program (ICP) Version 1. It is rack
mountable in an industry standard 19" rack, such as the IBM 9309. All controls
are on the front panel.
It has a weirdly mounted low profile 3.5" DBA drive, WDL-330RS. The drive is
directly mounted to a Type 5 form factor card. The card has an odd beige
colored 4 pin plug, same color as the 8580 power plug. Only one trace seems to
be connected, bet it's the +12 V.
The 3172 model 1 requires 200 - 240 V AC input voltage.
Model 2
The product gained SNA capabilities as well as an FDDI interface.
Performance was slightly enhanced as well with the release of ICP Version 2. A
major change was the introduction of the Operator Facility/2 (OF/2) utility.
This filled the requirement for a more robust interface for the configuration
and installation of ICP. Based on the Presentation Manager of OS/2, it utilizes
NetBIOS for communication with the 3172 over a token-ring or Ethernet
connection. OF/2 is a convenient, flexible tool for managing up to sixteen
3172s from a single workstation.
The model 2 has a switchable power supply and will accept 110 or 220 V
AC.
Model 3
The Model 3 was announced in June of 1992. As of publication of this manual
it is the current model shipping from IBM. Similar in nature to its
predecessors, the Model 3 surpasses them in performance and in available
options. A new design with enhanced RAS (Reliability, Availability and
Serviceability) characteristics, it features an Intel 25 MHz 80486SX processor
on a pluggable processor card as standard equipment with 50 MHz 80486DX and 66
MHz Pentium upgrade options. The Model 3 has a 1.0GB SCSI disk drive option,
extendable memory up to 64 MB and for the first time gains direct wide area
connections through the IBM Micro Channel Wide-Area Connector card to a public
or private frame relay network or leased line SDLC network through the ARTIC
Portmaster card options. The Model 3 offers a greater span of options and at
lower cost than the Model 1. Both the original Model 1 and the Model 2 have now
been withdrawn and superseded by the Model 3.
The 3172 model 3 requires 200 - 240 V AC input voltage.
Model 3 Features
The high-performance hard disk adapter is shipped with the hard disk and
plugs into the system board (into slot 8); it provides a receptacle for the
hard disk drive cable. The hard disk adapter that is provided as base hardware
is shipped with the base hard disk.
Single inline memory modules, or SIMMs are plugged into the memory slots on
the system board. There are two banks with four memory slots each on the system
board. SIMMs are shipped and installed in pairs; that is, one is plugged into
slot A1 of the first bank and one into slot B1 of the second bank. The next two
SIMMs are plugged into slots A2 and B2 of each bank, and so on.
Two 4 MB non-ECC SIMMs are included as base hardware with the IBM 3172 Model
3. Hardware Package1 and Hardware Package2 provide pairs of larger capacity
SIMMs to replace the 4 MB ones. Also, pairs of 4 MB non-ECC SIMMs or of 8 MB
ECC SIMMs may be ordered as features. See "3172 Model 3 Features" in topic
1.2.2 for more information.
The diskette drive uses a standard double-sided, high-density 3.5-inch
removable diskette. The drive motor is +12 volts direct current (V DC), direct
drive (nonbelt). The +12 V DC motor is hardware-controlled and is switched on
only when drive access is required.
The operator panel contains the display, indicators, keypad, defined keys,
diskette drive, and on/off switch. The control logic for reading the keypad
switches and writing data to the status indicators is contained on the operator
panel. The processor logic reads and writes to the operator panel through the
I/O data bus.
