Hardware features of the SX Series Business Servers
Channel peripherals on BS2000 partitions
Channel peripherals are only possible on SX servers which support the optional channel
interface. Channel peripherals are connected to the SX server via the optional channel
subsystem (Universal Hot Plug System, UHPS). The channel subsystem is connected to a
system board of the BS2000 partition using a corresponding PCI/SCI adapter. The
maximum possible number of channel connections depends on the model series.
The channel types can be combined and configured as desired. Only multiple connections
used for channel bundling and redundancy need to be configured in a single channel
subsystem.
The devices in the channel peripherals are generated in BS2000/OSD.
The IOCF file generated here (IORSF format) is transferred to the X2000 carrier system and
evaluated at the time of start-up. Information on generation can be found in the manual
"BS2000/OSD-BC V6.0
Operating peripherals in SX servers with SMC
SX servers with SMC have an integrated system management console. The SMC is a
PRIMESTATION or, as of the SX150 model series, a PRIMEPOWER250. The SMC is
always integrated into the service rack of the SX server as a complete system (system unit
with diskette drive, DVD drive and DAT drive as well as a TFT screen, keyboard and mouse).
The SMC is connected to the partitions via both the internal system control LAN and the
administration LAN. All functions for operating and monitoring the system unit, the partitions
and the operating systems or virtual machine systems running on them are performed by
the SMC.
You will find more details on the operating concept of the SX servers with SMC in the
"Operating concept for SX servers with SMC" on page

Business Server as an example:
