− Its own power, cooling, and maintenance interface
− Its own master clock
Dual Domain
Single Monolithic Partition
• The combined domains function as a monolithic system.
• Each domain contains a separate power subsystem and maintenance interface.
•
• Cooling is shared between domains.
• •
System Partitioning
• Although each domain contains a master clock, only one master clock is used by the
partition.
Two Separate Partitions
• Each partition functions as an independent system.
• The partitions cannot share resources.
• Each partition must include at least one PM, one IOM, and one MSU.
• Each domain contains a separate power subsystem and shared cooling, regardless of
the division of resources among partitions.
• Each partition uses a separate master clock and has a separate maintenance interface,
regardless of the division of resources among domains.

Configuring the Input/Output Module
Introduction
This section explains how to configure the I/O module (IOM) and its components.
• It covers that portion of the Input/Output system considered part of the central
system; that is, from the IOB for the NX5820 or the KIUB for the NX5820 K to the
Common Input/Output Module (CIOM) and including the channel interface.
• It does not cover from the channel interface outward. That information is included in
the Unisys e-@ction ClearPath Enterprise Servers A Series and NX SystemsI/O Configuration Guide (7008 6087). See "Information Contained in the I/O
Configuration Guide" at the end of this section for a list of topics.
How This Section Is Organized
The following topics are discussed in this section:
• How the IOM is organized
− IOM Logical organization
− IOM Physical organization
− IOM options
• Configuring channels
− Styles offered
− Assigning channel loads
− Configuration guidelines
− Configuration diagrams
• Where to find I/O subsystem information
7017 6300–0055–1
How the IOM Is Organized
How the IOM Is Organized
The IOM manages the I/O channels connected via the channel service (CS) busses and
transfers data and control information to and from main storage via the memory interface.
Each domain contains an IOM system.
IOM Logical Organization
Each IOM consists of two board types:
• Input/Output Bridge (IOB) for NX5820 or KIUB for NX5820 K which provides
connectivity between the system memory and the I/O bus.
• Common Input/Output Module
− Each CIOM comes with four channel manager facility (CMFs) which provides four
CS-bus interfaces, one CS-bus per CMF.
− In addition, the first CIOM of each domain allows two of it's four CS busses to be
directed to the backplane to drive the internal channels. These same two CSbusses can also drive external channels.
− For NX5820, one CIOM of each domain is dedicated for IOU functionality. No
CMFs are available for CS-bus interfaces on this CIOM. Current NX5820 systems
will only support four usable CIOMs per domain for CS-bus connectivity.
− NX5820 K systems will support five usable CIOMs per domain for CS-bus
connectivity. Optionally, one CIOM in domain 0 is dedicated for Multi IOU
functionally, and one CIOM in domain 1 is dedicated for TCU functionally. These
two CIOMs can not support CS-bus connectivity.
Figure 5–1 shows the over view of the IOM organization for the NX5820. Figure 5–2 shows
the over view of the IOM organization for the NX5820 K.

B5 for Domain 1).
The rear card module assembly contains:
• One card slot per domain accepts the first 9U CIOM card (slot A4 for Domain 0, slot
B4 for Domain 1).
• For NX5820, one card slot per domain for the middle 9U CIOM card dedicated for IOU
functionality (slot A6 for domain 0, slot B6 for domain 1). Optional card slots per
domain for the second, third, and fourth 9U CIOM cards (slot A5, A7, and A8 for
Domain 0, slot B5, B7, and B8 for Domain 1).
• For NX5820 K, optional card slots per domain for the second, third, fourth, fifth, and
sixth 9U CIOM cards (slot A5, A6, A7, A8 and A9 for Domain 0, slot B5, B6, B7, B8, and
B9 for Domain 1).
• Twelve 3U card slots per domain within the internal channel rack to accept channel
cards. Eight 3U card slots (lower rows) can be converted into 6U card slots.
• Each CS-bus interface can support up to sixteen channel loads (see ”Assigning
Channel Loads”).
• The first CIOM per domain (slot A4 for Domain 0, slot B4 for Domain 1) can support
up to four CS-Busses plus two internal busses as follows:

Configuring Channels
Assigning Channel Loads
Table 5–3 provides CS-bus loading guidelines for the various channel configurations.
CS-bus loading is dependent on bus demand factor (BDF), which provides a gauge of CSbus availability when the channel requires service. When there are many channels on the
CS-bus vying for service simultaneously, there is a low probability of any one of the
channels being granted instantaneous access to the bus. Such a configuration would offer
greater connectivity, but the BDF would be low. Conversely, if the channel requires
immediate access to the bus, the BDF would be high. Such a configuration would offer
greater performance.
In Table 5–3, note that BDF increases as the bus demand increases such that at maximum
performance, connectivity is of secondary importance; conversely, at maximum
connectivity, performance is of secondary importance. The balanced
performance/connectivity column reflects loading where performance and connectivity
receive approximately equal consideration.
Note:To achieve results representative of the performance and connectivity profiles
in the tables, it is recommended that bus loading be limited to sixteen loads per
bus for CIOM CS-Busses.

interfaces
Standard: 4 CMFs per CIOM (CMF 0, 1, 2, 3 per CIOM)
Maximum: Up to a maximum of 16 external CMFs per domain (32 CMFs per system) for
NX5820.
Up to a maximum of 20 external CMFs per domain (40 CMFs per system)for
NX5820 K.
A minimum of four CS-bus interfaces per CIOM are provided. When using up to 4 CIOMs
with CS-bus connectivity, there are a maximum of 16 CS buses per domain for
NX5820. When using up to 5 CIOMs with CS-bus connectivity, there are a maximum
of 20 CS buses per domain for NX5820 K.
For all models, one additional CS-bus interface is required for each server attached to
the system. As an option, servers can be connected via the PCI thru card. Refer to
optional configurations in this section.
For the first CIOM in each domain, two of the four standard CMF/CS-bus interfaces
(CMF0/4 and CMF1/5) can service channels in the internal channel rack located
within the module assembly, plus additional external channels (up to 8 channels
maximum per CS-bus).
CS-bus interfaces can be connected to an external channel rack via optional package
styles listed in Table 5–1.
Each CS-Bus interface can service up to sixteen channel loads; however, see “Assigning
Channel Loads” earlier in this section. Channel loads should be balanced across
CMFs, CS-busses, and domains.

Channels
Total Channels for NX5820 System:
A total of 254 logical channels are available per system.
For Domain 0, 130 physical channel connections are available (15 external CMFs x 8 =
120 channels plus 10 internal channels. One CMF use for dedicated server. Of the
10 internal channels, 4 are required for reserved channels, leaving 6 available for
internal channels).
For Domain 1, 138 physical channel connections are available (16 external CMFs x 8 =
128 channels plus 10 internal channels. No dedicated server. Of the 10 internal
channels; 4 are required for reserved channels, leaving 6 available for internal
channels).
Up to two (one per domain) CIOM are required for IOU functionality.
Total Channels for NX5820 K System:
A total of 254 logical channels are available per system.
For Domain 0, 162 physical channel connections are available (19 external CMFs x 8 =
152 channels plus 10 internal channels. One CMF use for dedicated server. Of the
10 internal channels, 4 are required for reserved channels, leaving 6 available for
internal channels).
For Domain 1, 170 physical channel connections are available (20 external CMFs x 8 =
160 channels plus 10 internal channels. No dedicated server. Of the 10 internal
channels; 4 are required for reserved channels, leaving 6 available for internal
channels).
Optionally, one CIOM in domain 0 is dedicated for Multi IOU functionality and one CIOM in
domain 1 is dedicated for TCU functionality. These two optional CIOMs can not
support CS-bus connectivity.
Reserved channels per domain:
One SCSI–2W channel (two channel loads) (3U) dual initiated for the QIC tape and CD-
ROM in the OSS7000.
One SCSI–2W channel (two channel loads) (3U) dual initiated for two hard drives in the
OSS7000.
One MAINTLAN channel (one load) (6U) for the Maintenance Hub.
One 802.3 high performance channel (one load) (6U) for the public LAN (Switching Hub).
ConsiderationsThe following considerations apply when configuring channels:
Each SCSI, MLI, and PCI thru channel card occupies one 3U card slot.
Each 802.3 LAN and MAINTLAN channel card occupy two 3U card slots (6U high)
Each FDDI, CDDI, ATM, and Fibre channel card occupy four 3U card slots (2 X 6U high).
Each additional 6U high channel card reduces the number of slots available for 3U
channel accordingly.

Configuring Channels
Configuration Diagrams
Figure 5–6 and Figure 5–7 are examples of typical channel configurations. Actual
configurations may vary depending on the number and types of channels configured.
Figure 5–8 shows the typical locations of the PCI thru card when used optionally to
connect a server via the internal channel rack or remote channel rack. The following rules
apply:
• Reserved channels occupy preassigned channel card slots; however, the locations
assigned to the channels in these examples are typical. The actual card slots occupied
by the MAINTLAN, 802.3, and SCSI–2W cards may vary with the system.
• All configurations are subject to channel loading considerations; that is, channel
loading is restricted to sixteen channel loads per CMF.
Table 5-5 list the various channel assignments and configurations.
Table 5–5. NX5820 Channel Assignments and Configurations
Name/UseDescription
CS-4, CS-5The internal bus from CMFn to the corresponding row of channel card slots in
the internal rack.
CS-0, CS-1, CS-2, CS-3The external bus from CMFn to an external channel or server’s PCI bridge

A0 to A9 or B0 to B9Module card slot locations.
P1, P2, P3Module card row number.
R1 to R8The requestor channel number associated with the corresponding card slot in
the internal channel rack. If a channel card occupies more than one card slot,
the requestor channel number assumes the lowest logical number of the card
slots occupied.
MAINTLANEach domain requires a MAINTLAN channel for access to the Maintenance Hub
for private use. The channel was arbitrarily assigned to card slot A0 (P2 &P3)
or B0 (P2 &P3) for NX5820.
CA322-SCIEach domain requires two dual-initiated SCSI-2W channels. One channel
services the QIC tape and CD-ROM located in the OSS7000 rack. The second
channel serviced two disks also located in the OSS7000 rack. The channels
were arbitrarily assigned to card slots A3 (P3) and B2 (P3) or B3 (P3) and A2
(P3).
CA626-BASEach domain requires an 802.3 channel card for access to an 802.3 Ethernet
Public LAN and is available for client use. The channel was arbitrarily assigned
to card slots A1 (P2 & P3) or B1 (P2 & P3)
PCI3-FTHOptional connection of a server via PCI thru bridge card. See Figure 5-8 for
optional configurations of the PCI thru card. PCI3-FTH is shipped from the
factory to be used with relative address 3 in channel racks.
