IBM's innovative PowerPC* technology delivers breakthrough value and performance to the 250 Series workstations and servers. The floating-point performance of these systems makes them a natural for entry, technical engineering/scientific applications, while their integer performance and powerful transaction processing capabilities provide a good environment for running business applications. These cost-effective, entry-level systems are ideal in multiuser environments and are binary compatible with other members of the RS/6000 family and support both AIX Version 4 and AIX Version 3.2.5. The Model 250 is versatile, providing paging over LANs and remote IPL, and can be easily enhanced with optional features and supported devices.
Base Model Configuration 250
The entry POWERstation/POWERserver 250 can function without a fixed disk in a LAN environment or, with a fixed disk and diskette drive added, in a stand-alone environment. Customers can upgrade memory and add features to enhance the system.
The standard features of the POWERstation/POWERserver 250 are:
| 66MHz PowerPC 601* processor |
| Eight slots for SIMM memory cards |
| 16MB memory (Four 4MB SIMM memory cards that use the first four of eight available slots) |
| One integrated SCSI-2 controller |
| One integrated Ethernet controller |
| Standard Device Ports/Connectors: |
 | Keyboard/Speaker Port |
| Mouse Port |
| Tablet Port |
| Two Serial Ports |
| Parallel Printer Port |
| SCSI-2 Port |
| Ethernet Port |
This requires only four memory slots, up to 128MB may be added in the other four slots for a maximum of 256MB.
Note: Standard with the POWERstation/POWERserver 250 series is the ability to attach the Ethernet controller to either Thick or Twisted Pair Ethernet media. For connection to Thick (10 Base 5) Ethernet media, the output connector is a Thick 15-pin D-shell "slide-latch" type that is compatible with IEEE 802.3 Section 7.6. For connection to Twisted Pair (10 Base T) Ethernet media, use the additional converter that is shipped standard with the POWERserver 250 series. For connection to Thin (10 Base 2) Ethernet media, use an optional external Transceiver (Feature Code #4223).

Business Solutions
The POWERstation/POWERserver 250 series supports customers' business objectives by providing a high-performance, desktop workstation/server solution for compute-intensive technical applications or multi-user commercial server applications. With either the 2D GXT100 graphics adapter or GXT150 graphics adapter the POWERstation/POWERserver 250 series workstation models are ideally suited to 2D environments where high-performance and low cost-per-seat are important. With the AIXwindows 3D feature, Softgraphics support is provided to enable full-function 3D graphics capability on all supported graphics adapters, including the GXT100 and GXT150 graphics adapters. This feature provides cost-effective and scalable graphics performance and consistent functions for the entry 3D environments. When configured with either a POWER Gt4e or GTO Accelerator graphics adapter and appropriate software, more demanding 3D applications are enabled. POWERstation 25S, with its standard 1 GB disk drive and 8-port adapter, is a cost-effective entry server for retail, branch banking, wholesale and plant floor applications. Memory capacity of up to 256 MB and internal fixed disk capacity of up to 2 GB, coupled with a variety of input/output devices, graphics, and communications features, are available to configure the system as a powerful, entry POWERstation or POWERserver for a wide range of business solutions.
The POWERstation/POWERserver 250 series desktop workstations utilize IBM's PowerPC Architecture* and are binary compatible with the IBM RS/6000 POWERstation/POWERserver family of systems, with application portability and high throughput levels. All AIX/6000 applications written for POWER-based RS/6000s (models available before 9/21/93) will run on the PowerPC 601-based* RS/6000s without recompilation. (The only exception to this statement would be applications written using kernel extensions which use certain privileged Assembler instructions. IBM is not aware of any applications using these instructions.) The POWERstation/POWERserver 250 series with AIX/6000 Version 3.2.5, conforms to many industry-standards in the open system environment -- a key factor to enable customers to develop and port applications.
Investment Protection
The POWERstation/POWERserver 250 series, with AIX/6000 3.2.5, offers interoperability with other IBM and other vendor host systems, expanding the usefulness of those systems and maximizing the utility of the 250 series. Any POWERstation/POWERserver 220 or 230 series machine can be upgraded to a 25E. The POWERstation/POWERserver 250 series, with its PowerPC 601* processor offers competitive fixed-point processing and floating-point processing for the entry workstation market. The POWERstation/POWERserver 250 series can be configured as a diskless or dataless system with integrated SCSI-2 and Ethernet controllers. Because of its optional feature offerings it can also be configured as an independent workstation, a file or communications server, or a distributed system.
User Productivity
The POWERstation/POWERserver 250 series supports AIXwindows* Environment/6000, which is based on the MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) X window System, and includes a graphical user interface based on OSF/Motif**. Through the use of industry-standard OSF/Motif, savings may be realized in end-user training and application development. Additionally, savings in hardware may be realized through the use of LAN-attached Xstations, to reduce cost per seat.
AIXwindows Environment/6000, based on the versatile OSF/Motif graphics user interface, provides the user with icons to represent files, printers and system objects, and allows the user to manipulate the file system through the icons. Support for InfoExplorer*, the online documentation aid, offers the user flexible access to online documentation using task index, hypertext jump points, and search features. These features allow users to become participant quickly, minimizing training and reducing costs.
Growth Enablement
The POWERstation/POWERserver 250 series is designed to grow with the customer's requirements. Memory can be increased to a maximum of 256MB. A maximum of seven SCSI devices (including optional internal fixed disk drive) can be attached.
The integrated SCSI-2 controller attaches up to seven SCSI-1 devices or four SCSI-2 devices. One internal disk drive may be installed in the POWERstation/POWERserver 250 series. A 200MB, 540MB, 1GB, or 2GB drive can be installed. Additional external devices may be attached, or by using Differential High-Performance External I/O Controllers (#2420) and external DASD Expansion Units, up to 30 GB of total disk storage may be configured. The integrated Ethernet controller and the PowerPC 601* local processor bus slot for graphics adapters allow the user to have a LAN attachment and additional I/O devices and graphics without utilizing any of the Micro Channel* slots.
Two Micro Channel feature card slots (form factor 3) are available for additional features such as a token-ring adapter, communications processors and high-performance 3D graphics processors.
System Management
A system installation and management facility is provided as part of the operating system. The System Management Interface Tool (SMIT) facilitates the performance of system management tasks, such as software installation and configuration, device configuration and management, problem determination, and storage management. Support is also provided for the use of an ASCII terminal as the system console as well as remote installation of the system on a LAN.

These are the requirements for operating the POWERstation/POWERserver 250 series:
| A RS/6000-supported ASCII terminal or a POWERstation/POWERserver 250 series-supported display, display adapter and keyboard. |
| For installation and support of diskless or dataless POWERstation/POWERserver 250 series systems, the network to which the system is attached must contain at least one IBM RS/6000 system that has a 3.5-inch diskette drive. Diagnostics are run off the host if the POWERstation/POWERserver 250 series is attached to a network as a client. In addition, that IBM RS/6000 must have AIX/6000 3.2.5, at the current level, installed and operational. LAN-dependent systems do not require the optional diskette drive (#2610). |
| Diskless systems must be connected to the boot server using either the integrated Ethernet controller or a Token-Ring Adapter (#2970). LAN-dependent machines with disk drives may be connected to the boot server with the above or with an Ethernet Adapter (#2980). |
| For stand-alone configurations, a disk drive and diskette drive are required. Diagnostics must be run from a diskette drive or disk drive for stand-alone systems. |
Programming Requirements of the POWERstation/POWERserver 250 series: AIX Version 3.2.5 for RS/6000, at the level, including any updates, that is current at the time the POWERstation/POWERserver 250 series is available, is required for operating the POWERstation/POWERserver 250 series.
Small disk configurations (200 MB) may be dependent on a LAN connection, based on the fixed-disk storage requirement of the specific software selected. Refer to Software Offerings in the publication, "IBM RS/6000 System Overview" (GC23-2406) for assistance in planning fixed-disk requirements.
Programming Requirements of GXT100 graphics adapter and GXT150 graphics adapter, POWER GT4e and GTO Accelerator: AIX Version 3.2.5 for RS/6000, at the level, including any updates, that is current at the time the POWERstation/POWERserver 250 series is available. Also, AIXwindows Environment/6000 Version 1.2.5 (support for X11R5) or higher is required for installation of these graphics adapters. For customers requiring 3D capability on a "2D" graphics adapter, the AIXwindows/3D feature is required. Refer to Product Announcement 193-aaa (RFA #21964), dated September 21, 1993, for specific programming requirements.
AIX/6000 applications written for POWER-based RS/6000s will run on the new POWERstation/POWERserver 250 series without recompilation. (The only exception to this statement would be applications written using kernel extensions which use certain privileged Assembler instructions. IBM is not aware of any applications using these instructions.) Additional performance can be achieved by recompiling with the latest versions of the IBM XL compilers to further exploit the PowerPC* technology.
Applications compiled using a compiler option to exploit the PowerPC* technology may not function properly on systems that do not employ that technology. Customers with any combination of POWER-, POWER2-, and PowerPC 601-based* systems may continue to run their applications unmodified. New applications and recompilation of existing applications for use in a mixed processor environment should be compiled using the POWER or common mode options available in the new XL compilers or any other compilers that support those options.

Attributes, as defined in the following feature descriptions, state the interaction of requirements among features.
Minimums and maximums are the absolute limits for a single feature without regard to interaction with other features. The maximum valid quantity for MES orders may be different than for initial orders. The maximums listed below refer to the largest quantity of these two possibilities.
The order type defines if a feature is orderable only on initial orders, only on MES orders, on both initial and MES orders, or if a feature is supported on a model due to a model conversion. Supported features cannot be ordered on the converted model, only left on or removed from the converted model.
The non-locking, three-position, MODE switch provides logic security without the need of a key. This feature is optional -- it is available on the initial plant order in place of the standard keylock at no charge. It is also available as a field installable feature at an additional charge.

The Rack Mountable Remote Asynchronous Node 16-Port EIA-232 (RAN) is a modified version of the existing 16-port Remote Async Node (feature #8130 or #8134) in an industry-standard 19-inch rack mount chassis to allow simpler installation and ease-of-use. Like the existing RAN, it can also be configured as a desktop device.
As an additional benefit, the new metal chassis meets FCC Class B/CISPR B when used with similarly rated RS/6000 host to meet the needs of customers with these requirements.
The RANs provide 16 ports of EIA-232 capability with full modem controls on each port and are connected to the 128-port Async Controller (Micro Channel or ISA versions) residing in the host. RANs are connected in daisy-chain fashion up to 8 RANs per 128-port Async Controller (either version).
The new rack-mountable RAN offers these enhanced features:
| Industry-standard 19-inch rack mountable chassis (can be configured for stacking on a desktop or mounted in a 19-inch rack). |
| Meets FCC Class B/CISPR B when used with similarly rated RS/6000 host. |
| All RJ-45 connectors are now on the front panel, greatly enhancing cable management. |
| The DB-15 synchronous connectors (cabling from host to RAN and between RANs) and the power cord and switch are located on the rear panel. |
| Power supply is self contained within the unit. |
The new rack-mountable RAN offers these same features as the existing RAN product:
| Identical function and support as existing 16-port Remote Async Node (RAN), feature #8130 or #8134. |
| Operation of 16 to 128 ports by supporting up to 8 RANs (4 per synchronous line) with either a Micro Channel or ISA host adapter. |
| Ability to monitor individual port operation, synchronous line station, and other diagnostics from front panel. |
| Built-in diagnostics can test ports independent of RS/6000 host. |
| Full modem control supports the following interface signals: TxD, RxD, RTS, CTS, DSR, DCD, DTR, RI. |
| The same RJ-45 to DB-25 Converter Cable (feature #8133 -- quantity four per order) currently used on the existing RANs can be used to attach devices having a DB-25 connector to the Remote Async Nodes. |
| Individual ports support a maximum EIA-232 distance of 62 meters (200 feet). |
| Use of the same cabling from host to RAN and RAN to RAN: feature #8131 (4.5 meter), feature #8132 (23 cm) or customer supplied cables. |
| Location of RAN up to 330 meters from the host using standard shielded 8-wire twisted pair cabling. |
| Remote operation via synchronous modems or CSU/DSU extends the distance and allows location of RANs at geographically distant location from the host. |

The Ultimedia Video I/O adapter for the RS/6000 provides a broad based solution for video enablement on the RS/6000. The Video I/O adapter is comprised of two cards: a base Micro Channel feature card which provides video in and video out (#2404) and a guest card which provides hardware assisted video data compression or decompression (#2405). Each card is separately orderable; however, it is required to have the base card installed as a prerequisite to the guest card. The Video I/O adapter requires only one Micro Channel slot of space with either the base card or the base and guest card installed.
The Ultimedia Video I/O adapter provides support for numerous multimedia applications requiring video. Support is provided for these application requirements: still or full motion video, NTSC, PAL or S-video standards and YUV or RGB color spaces. A variety of image sizes are supported in the video capture mode and one busmaster DMA channel is offered to enhanced system thruput. A further benefit is the savings obtained through the use of the compression and decompression algorithm provided on the guest card which provides considerable assistance with regards to transporting video data internally in the system or across the network, as only the compressed data need be sent.. The compression algorithm supported in hardware is M-JPEG, a universal video compression/decompression format. The compression/ decompression hardware is fully programmable to allow the user to select the compression level desired.
The Ultimedia Video I/O adapter provides the required support for applications such as multimedia enabled training, authoring, desktop publishing, video collaboration (still or live), and video distribution.
Details of Supported Functions
Video Formats Supported
| Analog Video In: NTSC, PAL or S-video |
| Analog Video Out NTSC, PAL or S-video |
| Digital Video YUV 4:2:2 (16 bit) RGB (8 bit) RGB (24 bit) |
The Ultimedia Video I/O base Adapter directly supports several programmable functions and in addition provides the system level interface for the guest compression/decompression card. The functions provided on the base card include: analog to digital conversion with video capture support, digital to analog conversion with video out support, selectable color space conversion for video in, monitoring of incoming video images with a supported IBM graphics adapter and/or an external video monitor, scaling the size of the incoming video image, and DMA transfer of the digital image data to and from the card.
| Video Capture: The adapter will provide video capture on a frame by frame (or field by field) basis of "live" video from a single source. Selection of S-video or CVBS input formats is enabled. The captured video is converted from NTSC (PAL) to YUV. The YUV digital video may be converted to 24 bit RGB, 8 bit dithered RGB or remain YUV. |
| Video Output: The base adapter supports transfer of digital YUV (4-2-2 16 bit) data. Via the guest card, both digital YUV and compressed M-JPEG data are supported from the system to be output as PAL or NTSC in both S-video or CVBS format. The Video I/O adapter accepts input from the system as 320 x 240 or 640 x 240 pixel fields which are output as full size NTSC (640 x 480) images to a display or recorder. Likewise, PAL images are output as 768 x 576 pixel images from 384 x 288 or 768 x 288 pixel field input. If the compression/decompression card is used, the M-JPEG format is accepted from the system in the same field sizes as above, an output as full size NTSC or PAL images. |
| Scaling: Captured video input may be scaled down from a maximum NTSC or PAL resolution (640 x 480, 768 x 576) in even increments to the minimum resolution desired. |
| Video Monitoring: The monitoring of incoming video data is supported with an IBM supported graphics adapter and/or a video monitor. The following image sizes as shown in table #1 are supported for viewing with a supported graphics adapter. |
8 BIT DITHERED MODE SELECTED ON GRAPHICS ADAPTER AND VIDEO I/O NTSC SOURCE PAL SOURCE 640 X 480 FULL SIZE 768 X 576 320 X 240 CIF SIZE 384 X 288 160 X 120 QCIF SIZE 192 X 144 24 BIT RGB MODE SELECTED ON GRAPHICS ADAPTER AND VIDEO I/O NTSC SOURCE PAL SOURCE 320 X 240 CIF SIZE 384 X 288 160 X 120 QSIF SIZE 192 X 144 Table #1 Video Monitoring with a supported graphics adapter
The compression/decompression of video is supported with the M-JPEG algorithm in either the compression or decompression mode. This card supports full motion video capture and video out utilizing the enablements provided by the base video card mentioned previously. Video monitoring concurrent with M-JPEG compression is supported.
When compression is required, the quality or compression information is provided by the user through a software interface whereas the decompression file sent to the adapter contains the necessary information for software to automatically interpret the necessary command and control information for the user.
Video out images may be accepted as either full size NTSC or PAL or CIF size NTSC or PAL from the system. Scaling of the CIF size images to full size NTSC, PAL or S-video images for video out is featured through support on the base card.
The Video I/O adapter supports M-JPEG compression and capture of video in to CIF or full size frames with concurrent monitoring of the video. The video may be viewed in an X-window in 8 bit dithered or 24 bit RGB on a supported graphics adapter at CIF size (320 x 240 NTSC. 384 x 288 PAL).
External Connections
Four external connectors are provided for video:
| S-VHS mini din jack for video in |
| C-VBS RCA type jack for video in |
| S-VHS mini din jack for video out |
| C-VBS RCA type jack for video out |
System Interface
The Video I/O adapter card functions as a 32 bit Micro Channel bus master accepting streaming data and address in 32 bit widths. Parity checking is enabled on both address and data lines. Programmable Option Select (POS) is provided for software initialization.
Cabling
No cabling is supplied with the Video I/O adapter.

The IBM Realtime Interface Co-Processor Portmaster Adapter/A is a full-function Micro Channel bus master that complements and extends the capabilities of the IBM Realtime Interface Co-Processor family of adapters. Bus master extensions for the adapter include capabilities and services that address both adapter-to-system and adapter-to-adapter data transfers under Direct Memory Access (DMA) control. The adapter utilizes the multi-master capability of the Micro Channel bus architecture by taking control of the system unit bus and communicating directly with system memory or with other I/O adapters without interrupting the system unit processor.
Throughput speeds will vary depending upon the number of ports operating concurrently and the software application. With the selection of the appropriate Interface Board, full-duplex rates of up to 64 Kbps running simultaneously on each of eight ports or up to 2.048 Mbps for a single port can be achieved with the IBM Realtime Interface Co-Processor Portmaster Adapter/A. High-speed data rates for multiple ports rely on the use of DMA; two channels are provided for each port. All ports can be programmed for asynchronous, bit synchronous, or character synchronous protocols, using either DMA or interrupt mode.
Timer support is also provided. There may be up to 255 software timers set with increments ranging from 5 milliseconds to 327 seconds. A watchdog timer is also provided.
Additional software is required to program the adapter, and must be ordered separately. Software support can be provided by IBM Realtime Interface Co-Processor AIX Support for RS/6000 (5696-038).
Cables for connection of I/O devices are also required, and are the responsibility of the customer.

The ARTIC960 coprocessor is a high-speed, high through-put co-processor adapter with multiple memory options designed to operate in 32-bit Micro Channel* bus compatible systems. The ARTIC960 coprocessor relieves the host from compute-intensive tasks associated with I/O communication applications and protocols. It also provides bus-mastering capabilities for peer to peer transfers across the Micro Channel bus. The ARTIC960 coprocessor's wide bandwidth provides co-processor performance at least 4-6 times that of previously released IBM ARTIC co-processors.
A high-speed, 4-Port multi-interface AIB offers either EIA-232D (asynchronous) or EIA-530 (RS422) or ISO 4903 (X.21) or ISO 4902 (V.36) electrical interfaces for communications applications. The selection of the specific interface is achieved by a matching cable (4 ports of 232 or 4 ports of 422 or 4 ports of X.21 or 4 ports of V.36). The AIB will operate all four ports at up to 2.048 megabits per second full duplex.
The ARTIC960 coprocessor and AIB together comprise a feature. There are three features available depending upon memory option (1MB, 4MB, or 8MB). The ARTIC960 coprocessor is designed to operate in any full-slot 32-bit Micro Channel bus system adhering to the IBM Micro Channel architectural guidelines such as the PS/2 computer, RS/6000 computer and the IBM Industrial Computers. The ARTIC960 realtime kernel and on-card operating system and AIX/6000 Version 3.2.5 Operating System development driver are included with the purchase of the adapter.
The application development driver is intended to provide a level of interface to the adapter for those developing applications using the ARTIC960 and is not a full function driver. The application development driver is contained in the diagnostic diskette.
A developer's kit is offered that provides AIB design information, sample programs, a programmer's guide/reference, and a hardware technical reference manual. As part of the developer's kit, a Developer's Assistance Program (DAP) is provided for parties who will be developing their own software applications and/or designing their own application interface board. The ARTIC960 DAP is administered by IBM in Boca Raton, Florida.

The Digital Trunk Adapter attaches an IBM 9291 Single Digital Trunk Processor, Model 010 (T1) or 020 (CEPT), or an IBM 9295 Multiple Digital Trunk Processor feature 0010 (T1) or 0020 (CEPT/E1), to an IBM RS/6000 POWERstation/POWERserver 250 series system. The 9291, the 9295, the Adapter (#6300) and the IBM AIX DirectTalk/6000 licensed program are components of the IBM CallPath DirectTalk/6000 Voice Processing System.
External interfaces of the 9291 Models 010 and 020 are compatible with those of the 9295 features 0010 and 0020, respectively.
Limitations: Each IBM 9291 Single Digital Trunk Processor model requires one Digital Trunk Adapter. Each 9295 Multiple Digital Trunk Processor feature #0010 or #0020 requires one Digital Trunk Adapter. When used with AIX DirectTalk/6000, a maximum of two Digital Trunk Adapters may be attached to a given RS/6000 POWERstation/POWERserver 250 series system.
The Ultimedia* Audio Adapter for the RS/6000* provides a cost-effective, 16-bit audio adapter suitable for many applications, such as: business audio, multimedia desktop authoring, presentation audio and desktop collaboration.
The Ultimedia Audio Adapter for the RS/6000 is packaged on a single 1/2 length Micro Channel card and supports 3rd party DMA for data transfer.
A coded chip supports the conversion of data between digital audio formats and analog audio signals. The coded based solution adds to the flexibility of the audio solution in that the RS/6000-based system processor completes the remaining tasks of supporting the audio functionality at a higher level than the more standard hardware intensive audio adapters.
The IBM Ultimedia Audio Adapter for the RS/6000 provides support for standard input/output devices, including audio players, microphones, and speakers through connectors on the card's rear panel.
MACHINE REQUIREMENTS: One Micro Channel slot is required (half length).
LIMITATIONS: A maximum of two audio adapters may be installed on R10, R20, and R24 systems. A maximum of one audio adapter may be installed on all other system units.
COMPATIBILITY: This adapter supports audio formats compatible with the M-ACPA, (FC 6301); except IBM ADPCM, 8-bit signed or 2's complement, or 16-bit unsigned.
The Digital Trunk Dual Adapter attaches up to two 9291 Single Digital Trunk Processor models or 9295 Multiple Digital Trunk Processor features to a POWERstation/POWERserver 250 series system. Each Digital Trunk Dual Adapter will allow up to 48 T1 or 60 CEPT telephone channels to be attached to it.
Limitations: A maximum of two Digital Trunk Dual Adapters (#6305) or Digital Trunk Adapters (#6300), in any combination, may be attached to a RS/6000 POWERstation/POWERserver 250 series system.

The M-Video Capture Adapter provides the capability to capture, display and digitize high-quality video images for use in presentations and applications.
The adapter accepts video input signals through a multi-pin connection on the adapter. The on-board processor converts the analog signal to a digital format that can be manipulated, compressed and stored for later use.
The video adapter also contains output connectors, for attachment to a monitor, which allow the user to view captured images during the capturing process. The adapter display capability is not required to run presentations containing captured images.
The video adapter end-bracket contains a 20-pin connector. The associated cable, included with the adapter, supports input/output jacks for connection to RGB (Red-Green-Blue), NTSC (National Television Standard Code, also known as Composite Video) and Y/C (Luminance/Chrominance) devices. The Y/C capability allows the user to capture a significantly higher quality image than those available from NTSC. Y/C devices, such as Super VHS video cameras and VCRs, are now emerging in the video marketplace. The adapter accepts input from devices that meet the following standards/specifications:
| Analog RGB Video Input (EIA RS-170A) |
| NTSC Composite Video Input (EIA RS-170A) |
