Concept of system operation Overview
● The service/console processor (3970-SKP) with the SINIX operating system.
Operation of the S130 system takes place via a local PC: the 3970-SKP service/console
processor.
S130 and 3970-SKP communicate with one another in three ways:
– serial line (V.24)
– type-2 I/O channel (KT2) or type-S I/O channel
– LAN connection
The following components can be operated via the local 3970-SKP screen and remote
secondary consoles:
– the 3970-SKP itself
– the SVP of the S130
– the BS2000 running on the S130
● Consoles can be set up and operated directly for up to 15 VM2000 guest systems.
● Automatic Operator (ATOP).
The ATOP is a device which is connected to the 3970-SKP via a serial line.
It makes the following functions possible:
– automatic switching on and off of the S130
– automatic operation of the BS2000 system
The customer can program the ATOP to specify which operating functions should
be executed for which conditions.
Examples:
– automatic shutdown of the system in the case of fan failure.
– automatic command entry in reaction to certain BS2000 console messages.
● It is possible to connect a radio-controlled clock or Global Time Server (GTS).
● On/off facility (optional) makes it possible to switch the S130 on and off from the
3970-SKP.
