Designation:F221802(Reapproved 2015)An American National StandardStandard Guide forHardware Implementation for Computerized Systems1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F2218;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This guide provides assistance in the choice of comput-ing hardware resources for ship and marine environments anddescribes:1.1.1 The core characteristics of interoperable systems thatcan be incorporated into accepted concepts such as the OpenSystem Interconnection(OSI)model;1.1.2 Process-based models,such as the Technical Refer-ence Model(TRM),that rely on interoperable computinghardware resources to provide the connection between theoperator,network,application,and information;and,1.1.3 The integrated architecture that can be used to meetminimum information processing requirements for ship andmarine environments.1.2 The use of models such as OSI and TRM provide astructured method for design and implementation of practicalshipboard information processing systems and provides plan-ners and architects with a roadmap that can be easily under-stood and conveyed to implementers.The use of such modelspermit functional capabilities to be embodied within concretesystems and equipment.1.3 The information provided in this guide is understood torepresent a set of concepts and technologies that have,overtime,evolved into accepted standards that are proven invarious functional applications.However,the one universalnotion that still remains from the earliest days of informationprocessing is that technological change is inevitable.Accordingly,the user of this guide must understand that suchprogress may rapidly invalidate or supersede the informationcontained herein.Nonetheless,the concept of implementingship and marine computing systems based on these functionalprinciples allows for logical and rational development andprovides a sound process for eventual upgrade and improve-ment.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2E1013 Terminology Relating to Computerized Systems(Withdrawn 2000)3F1757 Guide for Digital Communication Protocols for Com-puterized Systems2.2 ANSI Standards:4X3.131 Information SystemsSmall Computer SystemsInterface-2(SCSI-2)X3.172 American National Standard Dictionary for Infor-mation SystemsX3.230 Information SystemsFibre ChannelPhysicaland Signaling Interface(FC-PH)X3.232 Information TechnologySCSI-2 Common AccessMethod Transport and SCSI Interface ModuleX3.253 Information SystemsSCSI-3 Parallel Interface(SPI)X3.269 Information TechnologyFibre Channel Protocolfor SCSIX3.270 Information TechnologySCSI-3 ArchitectureModel(SAM)X3.276 Information TechnologySCSI-3 Controller Com-mands(SCC)X3.277 Information TechnologySCSI-3 Fast-20X3.292 Information TechnologySCSI-3 Interlocked Pro-tocol(SIP)X3.294 InformationTechnologySerialStorageArchitectureSCSI-2 Protocol(SSA-S2P)X3.297Information SystemsFibre ChannelPhysicaland Signaling Interface-2(FC-PH2)X3.301 Information TechnologySCSI-3 Primary Com-mands(SPC)X3.304Information TechnologySCSI-3 MultimediaCommands(MMC)MS58 Information TechnologyStandard RecommendedPractice for Implementation of Small Computer Systems1This guide is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F25 on Ships andMarine Technology and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F25.05 onComputer Applications.Current edition approved May 1,2015.Published June 2015.Originallyapproved in 2002.Last previous edition approved in 2008 as F2218 08.DOI:10.1520/F2218-02R15.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.3The last approved version of this historical standard is referenced onwww.astm.org.4Available from American National Standards Institute(ANSI),25 W.43rd St.,4th Floor,New York,NY 10036,http:/www.ansi.org.ACopyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 Interface(SCSI-2),(X3.131.1994)for ScannersNCITS306 InformationTechnologySerialStorageArchitectureSCSI-3 Protocol(SSA-S3P)NCITS 309 Information TechnologySCSI-3 Block Com-mands(SBC)2.3 IEEE Standards:5100 Standard Dictionary for Electrical and Electronic Terms488 Digital Interface for Programmable Instrumentation610.7 Standard Glossary for Computer Networking Termi-nology796 Microcomputer System Bus802.11 Wireless LAN Medium Access Control and PhysicalLayer Specifications1003.2d POSIXPart 2 Shell and UtilitiesAmendment:Batch Environment1003.5 Binding for System Application Program Interface(API)1003.b Binding for System Application Programming Inter-face(API)Amendment 1:Real-time Extensions1014 Versatile Ba
