PCServer500 - Device Managers (S/390)
Applicable to: World-Wide
Device Managers
The PC Server System/390 supplies several device managers to support emulation of 370 I/O devices. The device managers are OS/2 applications that are started when S/390 Microprocessor Complex is IPL'ed with a device map containing device definitions that use the device managers.
Each device manager is identified by name on the PC Server/390 Configuration screen that is used to perform device mapping. See 'Microprocessor Complex Configuration (S/390)—. (Do not confuse this configuration program with the PC Server 500 Configuration program. See 'Configuration (Server 500)—.)
The following is a list of device managers and their function.
Note
For detailed information about device drivers, refer to the Introducing the PC Server 500 System/390L manual (Form Number GC24-5717-00) supplied with the computer.
