Components and ports which are not used are not described below.
The SU700 / SU710 enables BS2000 to execute (in Native mode or on BS2000 VMs) on /390 architecture.
Features
18 models with a high performance range are available. Depending on the model, one or two processor modules
are used. The processor module has 8 CPUs. Depending on the model, 1 to 16 processors are available.
Capacity on Demand permits temporary processor attachment.
One hot spare processor is available with dynamic activation.
The main memory is up to 256 GB in size.
The I/O system has up to 126 Fibre Channels, each with a throughput of 8 Gbit/s (16 Gbit/s for SE710).
The SU supports a 10 Gbps LAN (connection via the HNC).
The Server Unit SU700(B) / SU710 consists of the following components:
a CPU box
an AROMA-P (Automatic and Remote Operation Manager) controls the power supply of the SU and occupies
two height units (HUs).
two to eight channel boxes
CPU box
Depending on the configuration, the CPU box contains one or two system boards.
Each system board contains a processor chip with the following features:
depending on the model, up to eight CPU cores with a joint cache
two IOPs (I/O processors)
one Mac (Memory Access Controller)
The processor chip is connected directly to the memory of the system board.
Processors on different system boards communicate over an Inter Connect Interface.
The CPU box, together with AROMA-P, occupies six height units (HUs) in the rack.
Channel box (CHE box)
Depending on the configuration level, up to eight channel boxes (#0 through #7) and up to 126 FC channels are
possible in an SU700 / SU710. In the basic configuration, the SU700 / SU710 has two channel boxes, channel box
#0 and channel box #4.
Up to eight channel modules, each with two FC channels (8 Gbps, 16 Gbps for SU710), can be integrated into a
channel box. Only in the case of the first channel box is the first slot already occupied on the system side.
A channel box occupies two height units (HUs) in the rack.
