On account of the frequency with which the names are used in this guide, the following abbreviations have been adopted for the sake of simplicity and clarity:
BS2000 servers for the servers with /390 architecture and the x86 servers. These servers are operated with the corresponding BS2000 operating system.
Servers with /390 architecture (/390 servers for short) for the Server Unit /390 of the FUJITSU server BS2000 SE series.
Servers with x86 architecture (x86 servers for short) for the Server Unit x86 of the FUJITSU server BS2000 SE series (x86-64 architecture).
SE servers for the FUJITSU server BS2000 SE series (Server Units /390 and x86).
SM2 for the openSM2 measurement system, provided no distinction need be made between the openSM2 measurement system and the SM2 monitor.

Note on the units of measurement used
This manual uses both German and English notation. However, for throughput and transfer rates the notation Kbytes, Mbytes or Gbytes is always used. The following definitions apply:
1 KB = 210 bytes = 1,024 bytes
1 Kbyte = 103 bytes = 1,000 bytes
1 MB = 220 bytes = 1,048,576 bytes
1 Mbyte = 106 bytes = 1,000,000 bytes
1 GB = 230 bytes = 1,073,741,824 bytes
1 Gbyte = 109 bytes = 1,000,000,000 bytes
