Description

The 3290 Information Panel attaches to a 3274 Control unit utilizing one physical port and up to five addresses, depending on the application. Up to 31 3290's can be attached to a 3274 depending on the application and 3274 model being used. The 3290 Information Panel attaches with the same coax cable that is used with other Category A terminals to attach to a 3274 Control Unit.

Note: The 3290 Model T30 requires a triax to coax adapter which must be supplied by the customer.

The 3290 Information Panel Display Station provides a high level of visual display function for the IBM 3270 user. A member of the 3270 family, the 3290 incorporates a flat plasma panel as its display medium to provide a large capacity display for alphanumeric data and graphic images. The image displayed is orange on a black background and is uniform at every point of the viewing area. The 3290 uses microcode loaded from the 3274 Control Unit, to provide screen management facilities for improved operator usability. The 3290 is data-stream compatible with all models of today's 3270 displays in alphanumeric application environments and complements the 3270 product family by extending 3270 capability to include large screen and multiple screen application usage. Its flat panel allows compact packaging and provides a versatile display station.

Warranty Service

IBM On-Site Repair warranty service is provided under the Agreement For Purchase of IBM Machines and is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Maintenance Service

IBM On-Site Repair Maintenance Service is available under the IBM Maintenance Agreement at the applicable Minimum Maintenance Charge. The base period of Maintenance Service availability is 7 AM to 6 PM, Monday through Friday. Optional periods of Maintenance Service are available for additional charges.

To obtain this service a customer calls the IBM Service/Exchange Communication Center on the National Toll-free Number (800)428-2569. Once customer problem determination is completed, an IBM Customer Engineer will be dispatched to repair the failing unit.

There is no regularly scheduled preventive maintenance recommended by IBM on these units.

If an IBM maintenance agreement is not contracted for immediately following expiration of the service and parts warranty, and the customer subsequently wants maintenance coverage, the customer must have an IBM customer engineer inspect the machine. A minimum charge for the inspection, cleaning, and testing will be applied. In addition, all time and parts required to qualify the machine for maintenance agreement acceptability will be billed at IBM's then current rates and terms. The machine will then qualify for IBM maintenance agreement coverage.

If, on the basis of the inspection, IBM concludes that the machine is not repairable, no further work will be performed and a minimum charge will be applied.

Customer Responsibilities

The customer is responsible for:

Adequate site, system, and other vendor preparation.
