IBM 600/1200 Series Benutzerhandbuch
SCSI-ENET Controller - The SCSI-ENET controller is the interface between the system bus and the SCSI
and Ethernet I/O devices. It contains four differential SCSI interface ports (used for interfacing with mass
storage devices such as the D700 disk/tape subsystem and T204/T403 tape drives) and one Ethernet port. Each
pair of SCSI-ENET controllers can support up to 48 physical disk drives.

pair of SCSI-ENET controllers can support up to 48 physical disk drives.
IO Processor - The IO processor manages IO operations, primarily to IOA communications adapters and
certain peripheral devices. It interfaces the system bus to two 8-bit IO busses. Each pair of IO processors can
support two IOA chassis.

K470 PMC I/O Controller - High-speed I/O subsystem based on the Peripheral Component Interconnect
(PCI) bus. It provides interconnect to the system backplane for up to three PCI I/O adapters in PMC (PCI
Mezzanine Card) form factor.

CPU-Memory boards reside in four dedicated slots in the backplane. The remaining slots are configured with
SCSI-ENET controllers or IO processors. Recommended slot assignments for various models are shown later in this
document.

The CEC cabinet in an AC system contains an AC/DC power system that provides 3600 watts of N+1 DC power.
The AC/DC power system residing in each expansion cabinet (except the AC peripheral cabinet, which has no power)
provides 2400 watts of N + 1 DC power.

Continuum systems are also designed to be fully Central Office (CO) installable utilizing -48 V DC input power. Each
CEC cabinet and DC expansion cabinet in a CO system contains two DC power controllers.

There is no physical control panel on Continuum 600/1200 Series systems. Operating commands are entered at the
system console which is connected to the system via the Console Controller card in the CEC cabinet.
