Fujitsu Siemens Computers BS2000/OSD - Manual

U25339-J-Z126-1-7600 1
1 Introduction
The range of BS2000/OSD servers has been extended by the addition of the S130 series.
The spectrum of user facilities of the new models lies between the S110 and H130 server
series. They are powerful systems for scientific and commercial applications.
The S130 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. Global storage (GSP or SSU) can
be upgraded to a maximum of 32 Gbytes and if desired can have a battery buffer.
The input/output system consists of 1 or 2 input/output processors. Up to 248 channels can
be configured for connecting peripheral devices with channel interfaces. LAN networking is
possible via the 3970-SKP service/console processor, a connection 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.
The models can easily be integrated into a HIPLEX network.
Like all computers in the 7.500 system family, the business server uses the BS2000
operating system. This offers the portability and compatibility of BS2000 programs.
