Description

The IBM RS/6000 Model 360 is a desktop system for the commercial and scientific environments combining both high function and expansion capabilities. A pedestal is provided for stabilization in the vertical position and is mounted on the bottom of the system unit when in the horizontal position.

The Model 360 can be used as a dataless LAN dependent attached workstation that can be "booted-up" from an IBM server with AIX/6000, a desktop server system suitable for a variety of file server, compute server and multi-user ASCII terminal applications. With optional 2D or 3D graphics features, this system can be used as a stand-alone graphics workstation.

The 360 CPU contains a 50 MHz microprocessor chip set and 16MB of memory is standard. The system may be configured up to 256MB (maximum) of memory. A combination of 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128MB memory cards (maximum of two cards) may be installed. As a select feature, the base system may be ordered with 32, 64, or 128MB of memory in place of the first 16MB of memory. A 400MB SCSI internal disk drive is standard. Up to two disk drives may be installed internally.

The 360 CPU contains an 32KB two-way set-associative instruction cache and a 32KB four-way set-associative data cache. It also supports separate 64-bit memory to data cache, 32-bit fixed-point to data cache and 64-bit floating-point to data cache buses for fast data transfer between the CPU and memory for balanced system performance.

Dedicated I/O processors are used on many of the high-performance I/O adapters to enhance overall system performance.

Designed with IBM's POWER Architecture, the system unit contains a Processor Board with an integrated SCSI I/O controller and Ethernet interface, system board, memory board, power supply, cooling fans, clock battery, disk, diskette drive, and operator panel. The integrated SCSI-1 I/O controller supports up to two internal SCSI disk drives and up to five external SCSI devices. The integrated Ethernet interface is compatible with IEEE 802.3 and Ethernet external interfaces. The integrated Ethernet interface is standard with a Thick/Thin cable connecter. A Twisted-Pair cable connector is available by ordering Specify Code #9001 on the initial plant order. Connection to the network is the standard cables supplied by the customer.

Reliability, availability, and serviceability are key considerations in the design of the RS/6000 systems. CPU chips have data parity in their data paths and on internal arrays, CPU chip to chip data buses have parity, and the Micro Channel bus supports parity on some adapters. CPU chips implement a unique built-in self test to detect CPU errors during power up. The memory subsystem is also tested extensively during power up. The memory subsystem provides Error Correction Code (ECC) designed to detect double bit errors and detection and correction of single bit errors. Memory Control also supports hardware assisted memory scrubbing for removal of soft failures.

The Operator Panel contains a Key operated Mode switch, Reset pushbutton, and three 7-segment LED indicators. The LED indicators can be rotated by 90 degrees to provide the proper orientation for the vertical or horizontal position. The key operated Mode switch has three positions and helps to provide logic security to the system. The lock helps to provide physical security and prevent cover removal when in the locked position.

One optional, additional 3.5-inch disk may be installed internally. Additional external media devices may also be attached. For a detailed description of these products reference the "Devices Supported" section of this Sales Manual for those devices.

Standard Features Include:

16 MB of memory on the 360
One 1.44MB 3.5-inch Diskette Drive
One 400MB 3.5-inch SCSI Disk Drive

Printer notes:

Feature code #3155 for the IBM 3812 printer is required for attachment to the RS/6000 system.
Feature code #7652 for the IBM 3816 printer is required for attachment to the RS/6000 system.
When using the serial ports, the IBM 4019 requires feature code #9143 (System serial interface adapter) for attachment to the RS/6000 system.
The IBM RS/6000 system supports Code Page 850. The Code Page 850 cartridge must be installed on the IBM 5202 printer to fully utilize the full characters sets of the system. For details on available cartridges, refer to the IBM 5202 Sales Manual. Other IBM printers have Code Page 850 resident.
For optimum system performance, high-speed serial printers should be attached to the native ports or the 128-Port Async Controller.
The parallel printer port is provided for the convenience character printer. High-speed printers or applications requiring a large amount of data transfer per page (e.g., high density graphics) should use the serial interface for optimum system performance.

DESCRIPTIVE / ORDERING INFORMATION

All upgrades are shipped using a new "chassis exchange" process.

The upgrade provides a model conversion for customers with these installed systems and want the RS/6000 Model 380/390 processor capability. This field installable model conversion help provide increased system performance and contribute to the protection of customers' initial investment in the Model 300 series systems. The resultant model conversion retains the serial number of the system prior to the upgrade.

Model conversion offers a high degree of flexibility in increasing the performance level of the system and helping the customers with computation-intensive applications to take advantage of the performance of the new processor while protecting their investment in disks and features.

COMPATIBILITY

The RS/6000 Model 380/390 uses a new SCSI-2 fast/wide interface. All external interfaces are the same as on the Models 340, 34H, 350, 360, and 370. The following cables are required for externally attached devices after the model conversion:

 Feature   Description
 -------   -------------------------------------------------------------
 2439       8-bit IBM SCSI-2 Fast/Wide Adapter/A to Single Ported Device
 2437       8-bit IBM SCSI-2 Fast/Wide Adapter/A to Dual Ported Device
 2435      16-bit IBM SCSI-2 Fast/Wide Adapter/A to Dual Ported Device

All Micro Channel cards, external and internal devices currently supported by the RS/6000 Model 380/390 are also supported by the newly converted 380/390.

The SCSI-2 fast/wide interface does NOT support the following devices:

7206-001 External 4mm Tape Drive
7210-001 External CD-ROM Drive
160MB Disk Drive Features #2120, #2121, #2123, #9240, #9241, and #9242.

Note: Features displaced remain with the customer.

A minimum of 32MB of memory is required prior to the upgrade. Customers who do not meet the memory minimum must order additional memory features or SIMM kits. This is not included in the price of the model conversion. The upgrade kit provides a one-for-one replacement of the customer's installed memory cards. The existing memory SIMMs are reused on the replacement cards.

For upgraded machines, it may be necessary for 8MB or 16MB memory to be replaced or for SIMM kits to be installed to meet the above requirements.

A machine being upgraded must have a minimum of 2GB of SCSI-2 disks installed or on order. These can be any one or combination of the following:

 Feature        Description
 -------        --------------------------------
 2555           1GB SCSI-2 DRIVE
 2556           400MB to 1GB SCSI-2 DRIVE SELECT



 2580           2GB SCSI-2 DRIVE
 2582           400MB to 2GB SCSI-2 DRIVE SELECT

Current machine configuration (product topology information) is requested by the plant prior to scheduling the shipment of this upgrade.

PROGRAMMING REQUIREMENTS

AIX Version 3.2.5 for RS/6000 with additional PTFs. These PTFs are included on all 3.2.5 orders shipped after 6/3/94 (labeled AIX/6000 Version 3.2.5.1). Refer to memo to users on installing these PTFs or call the IBM support center and request the PTFs referenced in APAR number IX42623. This level of AIX/6000 be installed and operational PRIOR to beginning the upgrade. This is not included in the price of the model conversion.

AIX/6000* applications written for POWER-based RS/6000s run on the new POWER2*-based models without recompilation and run significantly faster. Additional performance can be achieved by recompiling with the latest versions of the IBM XL compilers to further exploit the POWER2 technology.

Applications compiled using a compiler option to exploit POWER2 technology may not function properly on systems that do not employ the new POWER2 technology. Customers with any combination of POWER-, PowerPC 601*-, and POWER2-based systems may continue to run their applications unmodified. New applications and recompilation of existing applications for use in a mixed processor environment should be compiled using the POWER or common mode options available in the new XL compilers or any other compilers that support those options.

The 340, 34H, 350, 360, or 370 to 380/390 upgrade kit contains some or all of the following:

Base Model 380/390 chassis and covers with the serial number of the original machine
New memory card(s) without SIMMs
Maintenance documentation
CD-ROM
As-required engineering changes

This upgrade is accomplished by transferring the customer's existing media, disks, adapters, and memory SIMMs to the new chassis. The chassis contains the same serial number as the customer's existing machine.

Feature descriptions

Attributes, as defined in the following feature descriptions, state the interaction of requirements among features.

Minimums and maximums are the absolute limits for a single feature without regard to interaction with other features. The maximum valid quantity for MES orders may be different than for initial orders. The maximums listed below refer to the largest quantity of these two possibilities.

The order type defines if a feature is orderable only on initial orders, only on MES orders, on both initial and MES orders, or if a feature is supported on a model due to a model conversion. Supported features cannot be ordered on the converted model, only left on or removed from the converted model.

(#8136) Rack Mountable Remote Asynchronous Node 16-Port EIA-232

(No Longer Available as of March 31, 2006)

The Rack Mountable Remote Asynchronous Node 16-Port EIA-232 (RAN) is a modified version of the existing 16-port Remote Async Node (feature #8130 or #8134) in an industry-standard 19-inch rack mount chassis to allow simpler installation and ease-of-use. Like the existing RAN, it can also be configured as a desktop device.

As an additional benefit, the new metal chassis meets FCC Class B/CISPR B when used with similarly rated RS/6000 host to meet the needs of customers with these requirements.

The RANs provide 16 ports of EIA-232 capability with full modem controls on each port and are connected to the 128-port Async Controller (Micro Channel or ISA versions) residing in the host. RANs are connected in daisy-chain fashion up to 8 RANs per 128-port Async Controller (either version).

The new rack-mountable RAN offers these enhanced features:

Industry-standard 19-inch rack mountable chassis (can be configured for stacking on a desktop or mounted in a 19-inch rack).
Meets FCC Class B/CISPR B when used with similarly rated RS/6000 host.
All RJ-45 connectors are now on the front panel, greatly enhancing cable management.
The DB-15 synchronous connectors (cabling from host to RAN and between RANs) and the power cord and switch are located on the rear panel.
Power supply is self contained within the unit.

The new rack-mountable RAN offers these same features as the existing RAN product:

Identical function and support as existing 16-port Remote Async Node (RAN), feature #8130 or #8134.
Operation of 16 to 128 ports by supporting up to 8 RANs (4 per synchronous line) with either a Micro Channel or ISA host adapter.
Ability to monitor individual port operation, synchronous line station, and other diagnostics from front panel.
Built-in diagnostics can test ports independent of RS/6000 host.
Full modem control supports the following interface signals: TxD, RxD, RTS, CTS, DSR, DCD, DTR, RI.
The same RJ-45 to DB-25 Converter Cable (feature #8133 -- quantity four per order) currently used on the existing RANs can be used to attach devices having a DB-25 connector to the Remote Async Nodes.
Individual ports support a maximum EIA-232 distance of 62 meters (200 feet).
Use of the same cabling from host to RAN and RAN to RAN: feature #8131 (4.5 meter), feature #8132 (23 cm) or customer supplied cables.

The IBM Enhanced SCSI-2 Differential Fast/Wide Adapter/A is a dual ported fast (10 MHz) and wide (2 bytes wide) SCSI Micro Channel Adapter that can provide synchronous SCSI bus data rates of up to 20 megabytes per second. The Enhanced SCSI-2 Differential Fast/Wide Adapter/A provides high performance attachment to Differential SCSI disks, disk subsystems, tape devices and read/write optical subsystems. The maximum data rate depends on system and application configurations. The IBM Enhanced SCSI-2 Differential Fast/Wide Adapter/A has one internal single ended port and one external Differential port. The internal port is capable of attaching up to six single ended devices; the external port is capable of addressing up to fifteen differential devices. The number of physical devices attached to each port is limited by SCSI bus cabling restrictions. The internal port of this adapter supports either 8-bit or 16-bit devices via an 8-bit or a 16-bit connector. Only one of these two connectors may be used at one time. (Devices of different bus attachment widths cannot be connected/used at the same time.) The external Differential SCSI bus is capable of supporting cable lengths of 25 meters (82 feet).

Additional system, subsystem and high availability connections are also available with the differential system-to-system and Y-cable features.

I/O Adapters

For detailed information on adapters and devices, reference the publication: "Hardware Technical Information Options and Devices" (SA23-2646).

(#2404, #2405) IBM Ultimedia Video I/O Adapter

(For IBM US, No Longer Available as of January 8, 1998)

The Ultimedia Video I/O adapter for the RS/6000 provides a broad based solution for video enablement on the RS/6000. The Video I/O adapter is comprised of two cards: a base Micro Channel feature card which provides video in and video out (#2404) and a guest card which provides hardware assisted video data compression or decompression (#2405). Each card is separately orderable; however, it is required to have the base card installed as a prerequisite to the guest card. The Video I/O adapter requires only one Micro Channel slot of space with either the base card or the base and guest card installed.

The Ultimedia Video I/O adapter provides support for numerous multimedia applications requiring video. Support is provided for these application requirements: still or full motion video, NTSC, PAL or S-video standards and YUV or RGB color spaces. A variety of image sizes are supported in the video capture mode and one busmaster DMA channel is offered to enhanced system thruput. A further benefit is the savings obtained through the use of the compression and decompression algorithm provided on the guest card which provides considerable assistance with regards to transporting video data internally in the system or across the network, as only the compressed data need be sent.. The compression algorithm supported in hardware is M-JPEG, a universal video compression/decompression format. The compression/ decompression hardware is fully programmable to allow the user to select the compression level desired.

The Ultimedia Video I/O adapter provides the required support for applications such as multimedia enabled training, authoring, desktop publishing, video collaboration (still or live), and video distribution.

Details of Supported Functions

Video Formats Supported

Analog Video In: NTSC, PAL or S-video
Analog Video Out NTSC, PAL or S-video
Digital Video YUV 4:2:2 (16 bit) RGB (8 bit) RGB (24 bit)

Base Card Functions (FC2404)

The Ultimedia Video I/O base Adapter directly supports several programmable functions and in addition provides the system level interface for the guest compression/decompression card. The functions provided on the base card include: analog to digital conversion with video capture support, digital to analog conversion with video out support, selectable color space conversion for video in, monitoring of incoming video images with a supported IBM graphics adapter and/or an external video monitor, scaling the size of the incoming video image, and DMA transfer of the digital image data to and from the card.

Video Capture: The adapter will provide video capture on a frame by frame (or field by field) basis of "live" video from a single source. Selection of S-video or CVBS input formats is enabled. The captured video is converted from NTSC (PAL) to YUV. The YUV digital video may be converted to 24 bit RGB, 8 bit dithered RGB or remain YUV.

Video Output: The base adapter supports transfer of digital YUV (4-2-2 16 bit) data. Via the guest card, both digital YUV and compressed M-JPEG data are supported from the system to be output as PAL or NTSC in both S-video or CVBS format. The Video I/O adapter accepts input from the system as 320 x 240 or 640 x 240 pixel fields which are output as full size NTSC (640 x 480) images to a display or recorder. Likewise, PAL images are output as 768 x 576 pixel images from 384 x 288 or 768 x 288 pixel field input. If the compression/decompression card is used, the M-JPEG format is accepted from the system in the same field sizes as above, an output as full size NTSC or PAL images.

Scaling: Captured video input may be scaled down from a maximum NTSC or PAL resolution (640 x 480, 768 x 576) in even increments to the minimum resolution desired.

Video Monitoring: The monitoring of incoming video data is supported with an IBM supported graphics adapter and/or a video monitor. The following image sizes as shown in table #1 are supported for viewing with a supported graphics adapter.

8 BIT DITHERED MODE SELECTED ON GRAPHICS ADAPTER AND VIDEO I/O
 
     NTSC SOURCE                   PAL SOURCE

Table #1 Video Monitoring with a supported graphics adapter

Compression/Decompression Guest Card (FC2405)

The compression/decompression of video is supported with the M-JPEG algorithm in either the compression or decompression mode. This card supports full motion video capture and video out utilizing the enablements provided by the base video card mentioned previously. Video monitoring concurrent with M-JPEG compression is supported.

When compression is required, the quality or compression information is provided by the user through a software interface whereas the decompression file sent to the adapter contains the necessary information for software to automatically interpret the necessary command and control information for the user.

Video out images may be accepted as either full size NTSC or PAL or CIF size NTSC or PAL from the system. Scaling of the CIF size images to full size NTSC, PAL or S-video images for video out is featured through support on the base card.

The Video I/O adapter supports M-JPEG compression and capture of video in to CIF or full size frames with concurrent monitoring of the video. The video may be viewed in an X-window in 8 bit dithered or 24 bit RGB on a supported graphics adapter at CIF size (320 x 240 NTSC. 384 x 288 PAL).

External Connections

Four external connectors are provided for video:

S-VHS mini din jack for video in
C-VBS RCA type jack for video in
S-VHS mini din jack for video out
C-VBS RCA type jack for video out

System Interface

ARTIC960 Coprocessor

The ARTIC960 coprocessor is a high-speed, high through-put co-processor adapter with multiple memory options designed to operate in 32-bit Micro Channel* bus compatible systems. The ARTIC960 coprocessor relieves the host from compute-intensive tasks associated with I/O communication applications and protocols. It also provides bus-mastering capabilities for peer to peer transfers across the Micro Channel bus. The ARTIC960 coprocessor's wide bandwidth provides co-processor performance at least 4-6 times that of previously released IBM ARTIC co- processors.

A high-speed, 4-Port multi-interface AIB offers either EIA-232D (asynchronous) or EIA-530 (RS422) or ISO 4903 (X.21) or ISO 4902 (V.36) electrical interfaces for communications applications. The selection of the specific interface is achieved by a matching cable (4 ports of 232 or 4 ports of 422 or 4 ports of X.21 or 4 ports of V.36). The AIB will operate all four ports at up to 2.048 megabits per second full duplex.

The ARTIC960 coprocessor and AIB together comprise a feature. There are three features available depending upon memory option (1MB, 4MB, or 8MB). The ARTIC960 coprocessor is designed to operate in any full-slot 32-bit Micro Channel bus system adhering to the IBM Micro Channel architectural guidelines such as the PS/2 computer, RS/6000 computer and the IBM Industrial Computers. The ARTIC960 realtime kernel and on-card operating system and AIX/6000 Version 3.2.5 Operating System development driver are included with the purchase of the adapter.

The application development driver is intended to provide a level of interface to the adapter for those developing applications using the ARTIC960 and is not a full function driver. The application development driver is contained in the diagnostic diskette.

A developer's kit is offered that provides AIB design information, sample programs, a programmer's guide/reference, and a hardware technical reference manual. As part of the developer's kit, a Developer's Assistance Program (DAP) is provided for parties who will be developing their own software applications and/or designing their own application interface board. The ARTIC960 DAP is administered by IBM in Boca Raton, Florida.

It can be reached by telephone at 1-800-3333 ext. ARTIC960.

The DAP, through telephone and E-mail, will provide technical help for software development or additional AIB designs.

The ARTIC960 coprocessor is ideally suited for:

Departments that require high-speed connections from Server to Host (switched or leased)
Telephone applications with V.36/V.24 for higher speed connections to 2MB
LAN interconnect via leased lines (64 Kb - 2Mb)

The IBM ARTIC960 coprocessor is a family of high performance WAN communications adapters with a base card with 3 memory options and daughter cards with different interfaces and cables. Each IBM ARTIC960 coprocessor occupies one Micro Channel slot.

INCREASED PROCESSOR PERFORMANCE and COMMUNICATION SPEEDS

The ARTIC960 coprocessor provides a 4-6 times increase in data throughput across the Micro Channel bus when compared to the existing family of IBM ARTIC co-processors. The 4-Port multi-interface Application Interface Board handles four lines of communications data at 2.048 megabits per second.

Local Area Network (LAN) Communications Adapters

(#2720) Fiber Distributed Data Interface Adapter

The Fiber Distributed Data Interface adapter uses Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI), a LAN communications technology that uses optical cabling designed for a line speed of up to 100 Megabits/sec.

FDDI is designed to support the TCP/IP protocol, and supports NFS over TCP/IP. The FDDI implementation supports ANSI standard X3T9.5, with the exception that Station Management (SMT) function is limited to Agent support only. A programming interface (API) is provided for the device driver.

Fiber optic cable is designed to be immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Therefore, using fiber technology may prevent jamming by high power emissions. Additionally, fiber optics do not emit electromagnetic radiation (EMR). This feature enhances security, since it helps prevent eavesdropping.

The RS/6000 Fiber Distributed Data Interface Single Ring Adapter provides a single attach station (SAS) option and attaches to the FDDI Network's primary ring directly or via an external FDDI Concentrator. Connection via an external FDDI Concentrator isolates the workstations from the primary ring and protects the network from routine station on/off cycles and individual station failures.

Each FDDI adapter requires one Micro Channel card slot. A maximum of two #2720 adapters per system is supported.

The FDDI card requires Multi-Mode (62.5/125 Micron) FDDI optical fiber jumper cables. The FDDI jumper cables are available in five standard lengths of 4 meter (12 feet), 7 meter (20 feet), 15 meter (50 feet), 31 meter (100 feet) and 61 meter (200 feet) or custom lengths in one foot increments. They are available with MIC, FC, ST, or SC connectors.

For more information about the jumper cables, planning, design, and installation of optical fiber cabling systems, refer to IBM publication GA27-3943, "IBM Cabling System Optical Fiber Installation and Planning Guide."

Jumper cables are the responsibility of the customer and may be ordered from your local authorized IBM cabling distributor or by calling 1-800-IBM-2468 in the United States. For EMEA customers, cables are available from Montpellier through CE offerings.

Performance:

A summary of the application level graphics benchmarks using these adapters (such as X11-perf and the Graphics Performance Characterization Picture Level Benchmarks) is available. Prerequisites: None.
Note: The POWER Gt4xi graphics adapter (feature #2712, described below) has been announced in September 1993 and replaces the POWER Gt4x 8-bit feature (#2790). The POWER Gt4xi primarily improves the 3D performance of the original POWER Gt4x. To obtain these improvements, additional software (shipped with the adapter) must be installed against the AIX/6000 Version 3.2 operating system. In addition, customers need to install the latest PMP available for the AIX/6000 operating system. For the graPHIGS API, GPC Picture Level Benchmark (PLB) results for the PLBsurf93 show significant performance improvements. Based on these results, it is expected that 3D applications will see performance improvements, but the amount of improvement will vary for each application. Since the functionality of the new adapter is the same as the original adapter, applications which run on the POWER Gt4x require no modifications to run on the performance-enhanced POWER Gt4x.

The Ultimedia* Audio Adapter for the RS/6000* provides a cost- effective, 16-bit audio adapter suitable for many applications, such as: business audio, multimedia desktop authoring, presentation audio and desktop collaboration.

The Ultimedia Audio Adapter for the RS/6000 is packaged on a single 1/2 length microchannel card and supports 3rd party DMA for data transfer.

A coded chip supports the conversion of data between digital audio formats and analog audio signals. The coded based solution adds to the flexibility of the audio solution in that the RS/6000 RISC based system processor completes the remaining tasks of supporting the audio functionality at a higher level than the more standard hardware intensive audio adapters.

The IBM Ultimedia Audio Adapter for the RS/6000 provides support for standard input/output devices, including audio players, microphones, and speakers through connectors on the card's rear panel.

MACHINE REQUIREMENTS: One Microchannel slot is required (half length).

LIMITATIONS: A maximum of two audio adapters may be installed on R10, R20, and R24 systems. A maximum of one audio adapter may be installed on all other system units.

COMPATIBILITY: This adapter supports audio formats compatible with the M-ACPA, (FC 6301); except IBM ADPCM, 8-bit signed or 2's complement, or 16-bit unsigned.

(#2400) M-Video Capture Adapter

(For IBM US, No Longer Available as of January 6, 1995)

The M-Video Capture Adapter provides the capability to capture, display and digitize high-quality video images for use in presentations and applications.

The adapter accepts video input signals through a multi-pin connection on the adapter. The on-board processor converts the signal to a digital format that can be manipulated, compressed and stored for later use.

The video adapter also contains output connectors, for attachment to a monitor, which allow the user to view captured images during the capturing process. The adapter display capability is not required to run presentations containing captured images.

The video adapter end-bracket contains a 20-pin connector. The associated cable, included with the adapter, supports input/output jacks for connection to RGB (Red-Green-Blue), NTSC (National Television Standard Code, also known as Composite Video) and Y/C (Luminance/Chrominance) devices. The Y/C capability allows the user to capture a significantly higher quality image than those available from NTSC. Y/C devices, such as Super VHS video cameras and VCRs, are now emerging in the video marketplace. The adapter accepts input from devices that meet the following standards/specifications:

Analog RGB Video Input (EIA RS-170A)
NTSC Composite Video Input (EIA RS-170A)
Luminance/Chrominance Video Input (EIA RS-170A)

The M-Video Capture Adapter outputs to devices with the following output standards/specifications:

Analog RGB Video Output (EIA RS-170A)
NTSC Composite Video Output (EIA RS-170A)
Luminance/Chrominance Video Output (EIA RS-170A)

Input/Output Connectors

Video Connectors:
- Adapter cable with ten RCA plugs: two NTSC Input/Output; six RGB Input/Output (two lines are shared for Y/C input); two Composite synchronous input/output
- Adapter cable with two RCA plugs -- Y/C Output.

Resolution: 640 x 480 x 16

Full frame capture from motion video in 1/30 seconds
Captures 65,536 colors with a resolution of 640 x 480 x 16 bits
614KB dual-ported video RAM buffer
Various image display modes (memory, overlay, transparent, pixel)

Each adapter requires one Micro Channel card slot. A maximum of two adapters per system is supported.

Due to mechanical interference, the system unit rear cover cannot be attached to the system unit while the M-VCA primary I/O attachment cable is installed.

Cable Orders: All cables sold by IBM for use with this adapter are included with the product. Cables for input/output device connection are the customer's responsibility.

(#6599) Optional Keyboard Cable with Speaker

(For IBM US, No Longer Available as of March 19, 1999)

Attributes provided:
The Optional Keyboard Cable with Speaker (#6599) is being made available for those systems that require an external source for audible system queues. The Optional Keyboard Cable with Speaker is designed to be placed in-line with the Quiet Touch Keyboard -- it attaches to the system and the Quiet Touch Keyboard then plugs into the speaker assembly. The Optional Keyboard Cable with Speaker is one meter long and has a small speaker box at the end of the cable unit. This feature is available on systems (Micro Channel systems) that depended on an external speaker source in their keyboard. Purchase is recommended with the Quiet Touch Keyboards for those systems needing an external audible queue (see the list of systems supporting #6599). The Quiet Touch Keyboard will work with or without the Optional Keyboard Cable with Speaker, but only when #6599 is connected will a system audible queue be provided.
Attributes required: Available on all current RS/6000 systems supporting AIX Version 4.1.5, 4.2.1, or 4.3.0, or later. Refer to the Feature Availability Matrix.
