`Foreword
`
`ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of
`national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International
`Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member
`body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
`the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, govern-
`mental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
`
`Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to
`the member bodies for approval before their acceptance as International Standards by
`the ISO Council. They are approved in accordance with ISO procedures requiring at
`least 75 % approval by the member bodies voting.
`
`International Standard ISO 8790 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 97,
`/nformarion processing systems.
`
`Users should note that all International Standards undergo revision from time to time
`and that any reference made herein to any other International Standard implies its
`latest edition, unless otherwise stated.

`INTERNATIONAL STANDARD
`
`
`Information processing systems — Computer system
`configuration diagram symbols and conventions
`
`1 Scope
`
`A configuration diagram consists of
`
`This international Standard establishes graphical symbols and
`their conventions for use in configuration diagrams for com-
`puter systems, including automatic data processing systems.
`
`2 Field of application
`
`The graphical symbols included in this International Standard
`are intended to represent major hardware units of a computer
`system configuration. This International Standard does not
`cover:
`
`— detailed representation of hardware, such as logical or
`electronic circuit diagrams;
`
`or pictorial type diagrams that utilize pictures or drawings to
`depict a system;
`
`nor does it include any abbreviations or mnemonics used to
`identify a specific kind of unit.
`
`The configuration diagram is used to represent the physical
`structure of computer systems such as the physical equipment
`and the connection cables.
`
`A configuration diagram can represent
`
`— the maximum configuration in which all hardware units
`are included;
`
`— the configuration resulting from reallocation of hard-
`ware units and temporary withdrawal of service;
`
`— the minimum configuration necessary for the solution
`of a given problem;
`
`— alternative configurations of the same equipment, etc.
`
`hardware symbols where each symbol represents a
`a)
`physical unit by its essential function;
`
`representing a
`connection lines
`bl
`(transmission line) physical connection;
`
`local or distant
`
`special conventions to facilitate the reading and the
`cl
`writing of the diagram.
`
`3 Configuration diagram symbols
`
`This clause defines the symbols for describing physical units
`and the means used to connect them. Additional methods used
`to facilitate the reading and writing of the diagram are defined
`in clause 4.
`
`Four levels of symbols are presented to permit various levels of
`detail to be shown in the diagram. The highest level represents
`only physical units and their connections. The second level
`represents the principal functional units of computer systems,
`such as processors, storage, input—output units, communica-
`tions units, and means of connection. The third level represents
`the basic types of media or means of input-output used for
`storage and input-output. The lowest level provides the most
`detailed distinction between the various kinds of units. (See
`consolidated table of symbols in clause 5.)
`
`The same symbol is used at several different levels where there
`is no necessity for further details. Identification in such cases is
`supplied by the use of symbol identification (see 4.3).
`
`The configuration diagram has many uses, namely:
`
`3.1 Physical unit or its enclosure
`
`——
`
`in commercial brochures of computer manufacturers;
`
`— in selection and evaluation of computer configurations;
`
`— in the technical clauses of computer contracts for pur-
`chase or lease;
`
`— in the representation of a computer centre;
`
`— in magazine articles describing data processing applica-
`tions;
`
`These symbols are basic symbols representing any kind of
`physical unit or set of physical units. These symbols also repre-
`sent an enclosure of a unit or set of units (see 4.4).
`
`— in specifications of data processing applications;

`
`4 Conventions
`
`This symbol is a generic symbol representing any kind of com-
`munication link.
`
`4.1 Symbol shape
`
`3.2.2.1 Wired transmission
`
`This is a generic symbol representing a wired communication
`
`This International Standard does not give exact specifications
`for height and width ratios; the user shall not, however, vary
`these to such an extent that the symbol
`is not immediately
`recognizable.
`
`Symbols may be drawn in any orientation, but the horizontal
`orientation should be preferred where possible. The mirror
`image of a shape implies the same function, but is not pre-
`ferred.

`
`4.2 Connection lines
`
`3.2.2.2 Wireless transmission
`
`4.2.1 Basic conventions for connection lines
`
`This is a generic symbol representing a wireless communication

`This symbol represents a multi-channel wireless communica-

`
`al There is no preferred side for a connection line to enter
`or leave a symbol for a unit. Nor is any meaning implied in
`the direction a connection line takes. Also the position of
`units along a connection line does not imply any additional
`meaning unless otherwise clearly indicated. Multiple con-
`nection Iines may be simplified to a single connection line.
`
`b) Arrows indicating the direction of flow may be used if
`necessary.
`
`cl An identifier or a description may be added to the con-
`nection line.
`
`d) The crossing and the junction of two or more connec-
`tion lines are shown below. Crossing of lines means that
`they are not connected.

`Thus, a satellite can be represented by combining the process-
`ing unit symbol and the wireless transmission symbol as
`illustrated.
`
`The junction mark (0) may be omitted when thejunction can-
`not be interpreted as a crossing.

`When a connection line cannot be drawn directly between two
`units, the fact that the line is continued may be shown in the
`following way:

`The source or destination of a connection may be omitted but
`the fact that the connection exists should be made evident. For
`example:

`The above diagram may be simplified as shown in the following
`example. In this case, the crosscall function shall be clarified by
`the use of additional information.

`A symbol may be identified with a specific kind of unit or specific level of description by placing in or near the symbol the name.
`mnemonic, or model number for specific devices, or a generic name for higher levels of description (for example, node, major node,
`message switcher).

`
`As an alternative to multiple, independent symbols, the same unit symbol may be shown in an overlay—pattern as shown below.
`
`ISO 8790 : 1987 (E)
`
`4.9 Overlaid representation of different units
`
`If two different units are built or used together in such a way as to be a single unit for all practical purposes, they may be shown by an
`overlaid representation.
`
`4.10 Representation of omission
`
`Ellipses may be used to represent the omission of symbols when graphical representation of the exact number of units is not required.
