I III 1111111111111111111111111111 ^"'The <strong>IBM</strong> 5010 Processor Module Model Bxx attaches <strong>the</strong> <strong>System</strong>/7 directly to an <strong>IBM</strong><strong>1130</strong> Computing <strong>System</strong> via <strong>the</strong> <strong>1130</strong> Storage Access Channel (SAC) and <strong>the</strong> <strong>1130</strong> hostattachment in <strong>the</strong> <strong>System</strong>/7. The <strong>1130</strong> host attachment in <strong>the</strong> processor module permitsdirect, two-way storage-to-storage communication and information transfer between <strong>the</strong>two systems. The <strong>1130</strong> host attachment precludes using <strong>the</strong> <strong>System</strong>/7 as a satelliteprocessor by means of <strong>the</strong> Asynchronous Communications Control Attachment or <strong>the</strong>Binary Synchronous Communications Adapter.FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTIONThe <strong>1130</strong> host attachment can be connected to ei<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> <strong>1130</strong> SAC or <strong>the</strong> <strong>1130</strong> SAC II.The host attachment transfers data or instructions at <strong>the</strong> <strong>1130</strong> storage speed (454 kHz on<strong>the</strong> 2.2-microsecond <strong>1130</strong> or 277 kHz on <strong>the</strong> 3.6-microsecond <strong>1130</strong>). Although <strong>the</strong>attachment requests <strong>1130</strong> cycles so quickly that it may prevent instruction executionin <strong>the</strong> <strong>1130</strong> processor (except for interruption level 0 or 1), <strong>the</strong> <strong>System</strong>/7 storage speedpermits execution of <strong>System</strong>/7 instructions during a data transfer.Interruption level 0 or 1 instructions are executed in <strong>the</strong> <strong>1130</strong> during a data transferbecause <strong>the</strong> <strong>System</strong>/7 interrupts <strong>the</strong> <strong>1130</strong> on interrupt level 3 and, consequently, <strong>the</strong><strong>System</strong>/7 must obey <strong>the</strong> inhibit-cycle-steal-request line from <strong>the</strong> <strong>1130</strong> during higherpriorityinterruptions. For fur<strong>the</strong>r details, refer to <strong>the</strong> manual 1131 Central ProcessingUnit and 1133 Multiplex Control Enclosure Storage Access Channel—Original EquipmentManufacturer's Information, Order No. GA26-3645.Use of <strong>System</strong>/7 storage by <strong>the</strong> two systems requires both machine and program controlsto resolve conflicts for access to <strong>System</strong>/7 storage. The <strong>System</strong>/7 has an interruptionmechanism that enables ei<strong>the</strong>r system to alert <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r for service. To determine <strong>the</strong>nature of <strong>the</strong> service required, programming must maintain current control parametersin a <strong>System</strong>/7 storage area.<strong>All</strong> data transfers are initiated by <strong>the</strong> <strong>1130</strong>, and all end or error conditions are signaledto <strong>the</strong> <strong>1130</strong> by means of interruptions. No direct communication exists between <strong>the</strong> <strong>1130</strong>and <strong>the</strong> <strong>System</strong>/7 I/O modules; data transfers are strictly storage-to-storage.Although no provision is made for parity within <strong>the</strong> <strong>1130</strong> SAC, <strong>the</strong> <strong>1130</strong> host attachmentgenerates <strong>the</strong> necessary parity for data destined for <strong>System</strong>/7 storage.A host attachment switch located on <strong>the</strong> <strong>System</strong>/7 console controls <strong>the</strong> connectionbetween <strong>the</strong> <strong>System</strong>/7 and <strong>the</strong> <strong>1130</strong>. When in <strong>the</strong> disable position, interrupt and cyclestealrequests cannot go to <strong>the</strong> <strong>1130</strong>, all <strong>1130</strong> instructions are ignored, and conditioncode 3 is returned if a <strong>System</strong>/7 set interrupt command is addressed to <strong>the</strong> host attachment.When <strong>the</strong> switch is in <strong>the</strong> enable or enable and IPL position, <strong>the</strong> <strong>1130</strong> and <strong>System</strong>/7 cancommunicate through <strong>the</strong> SAC in a normal manner. The <strong>1130</strong> attachment is reset when<strong>the</strong> <strong>1130</strong> console reset key is depressed or if <strong>the</strong> <strong>System</strong>/7 console host attachment switchis moved from <strong>the</strong> enable or <strong>the</strong> enable and IPL position. IPL from <strong>the</strong> <strong>1130</strong> is describedlater in this chapter under "Electronic Initial Program Load (EIPL)."16-2 GA34-0003
