See Figure 3-8 and Figure 3-9 for connections. Each system can have direct access to any of the devices on the DSSI bus, including a shared system disk. The simplest DSSI VAXcluster configuration, a two-system configuration, can let one system disk be used as the system disk for both systems. Although the system disk resides in one system, both systems have equal access to it and to any other DSSI storage device in either system. A DSSI device, such as the RF35, has a built-in DSSI VAXcluster capability that can dynamically serve two or more systems. DSSI adapters, embedded in the system CPU, let you extend a DSSI bus by connecting it to another system. Using an external DSSI cable, DSSI-based systems can be connected to form a DSSI VAXcluster configuration. The benefits of a DSSI VAXcluster configuration: · VAXcluster features such as shared data across systems and satellite nodes are available to you. · Higher system availability -- If one of the systems is unavailable due to a system malfunction, the satellites booted through it can continue operating through the other system. If one system fails, all satellite nodes booted through that system lose connections to the system disk. Each satellite knows that the system disk is available through a second path. The satellite nodes establish a new connection through the other system and continue operation. To increase system availability, a second system disk can be added to each boot node. If one system disk fails, the other system disk continues to serve one system and the satellite nodes booted through it. As in any VAXcluster, a second system disk improves availability but increases system management tasks. Network Information 3-15 Figure 3-8 Connecting a DSSI Cable 1. Removing DSSI Terminator 2. Inserting DSSI Cable 3-16 Network Information Figure 3-9 Connecting Systems Into a VAXcluster Network Information 3-17 4 ------------------------------------------------------------ Hardware Options This chapter describes the hardware options of the VAX 4000 Model 100. It also describes how to connect the external hardware options to the system. It includes information on the following topics: · Internal hardware options · External hardware options · Connecting a SCSI expansion box · Connecting peripherals Hardware Options 4-1 4.1 Internal Hardware Options The system supports the following internal hardware options: · MS44L-BC 16MB set (4XMS44L-AA) and MS44-DC 64MB set(4XMS44-CA) memory modules--The Model 100 system does not have any memory on the system board. It uses only MS44L-BC and MS44-DC memory module bundles. You can increase the memory capacity of the Model 100 system up to a maximum of 128MB in 16MB or 64MB increments using a maximum of two memory sets. · Synchronous communications options--The system supports the DSW42- AA synchronous communications option. This communications option provides two synchronous communications ports and allows you to connect the system to a peripheral that uses an EIA-232 (V.24) 25-pin connector. You can use other interface standards with this option if you order different cables. Table 4-1 lists each interface standard and the part number of the corresponding cable. Table 4-1 Interface Standards and Cable Part Numbers ------------------------------------------------------------ Interface Standard Cable Part Number Extension Cable Part Number ------------------------------------------------------------ EIA-232/V.24 BC19D-02 1 BC22F-nn 3 EIA-423/V.10 BC19E-02 2 BC55D-nn 4 EIA-422/V.11 BC19B-02 2 BC55D-nn 4 ------------------------------------------------------------ 1 Supplied with the DSW42-AA option. 2 Optional cable, order separately. 3 Optional cable, order separately. The value of nn represents the cable length in feet (10, 25, or 50). 4 Optional cable, order separately. The value of nn represents the cable length in feet (25 or 50). ------------------------------------------------------------ The BC19x-02 cables listed in Table 4-1 are 2-foot cables; extension cables are also available, but you must order them separately. Contact your Digital Sales representative for information on ordering any of the different cables that support these interface standards. · Asynchronous communications options--The system supports three different asynchronous communications options. These options are as follows: - DHW42-AA--This asynchronous option provides eight asynchronous DEC423 data-line-only communications lines through one system port. 4-2 Hardware Options You can connect up to eight peripherals using the MMJ ports on the harmonica (H3104) that connects to the option cable (BC16C-10). - DHW42-BA--This option is the same as the DHW42-AA, but provides 16 asynchronous DEC423 data-line-only communications lines through two system ports. You can connect up to 16 peripherals using the MMJ ports on two harmonicas (H3104) that connect to the option cables (BC16C-10). Use the following cables instead of the BC16C-10 cable if you require longer cable lengths: BC16C-25, BC16C-50, BC16C-A0, or BC16C-B5. Use the following cables between the harmonica (H3104) and the DEC423 peripheral: BC16E-10, BC16E-25, or BC16E-50. - DHW42-CA--This asynchronous option provides eight asynchronous EIA-232 modem control lines through two system ports using two breakout cables (BC29J-06). - DHW42-UP--This upgrade option converts a DHW42-AA asynchronous option to a DHW42-BA option. Attach one of the following cables to a connector on the breakout cable if you require longer cable lengths: BC22F-10, BC22F-25, or BC22F-50. The peripheral you are using may require a null-modem extension cable. See the peripheral documentation or contact your Digital Sales representative for information on the correct null-modem cable to use. · DSSI storage devices--The system supports the following internal DSSI devices: - RF31T hard disk drive - RF35 hard disk drive · SCSI storage devices--The system supports the following internal SCSI removable devices: - TLZ06 tape drive - TZK10 (QIC) tape drive - TZ30 tape drive - RRD42 compact disc drive · Digital Storage Systems Interconnect (DSSI)- The KA52 CPU module contains one DSSI bus adapter that is dedicated to the mass storage devices in your system. The DSSI adapter provides a path to the DSSI bus through which the CPU can communicate with DSSI devices. Hardware Options 4-3 The DSSI bus has the following characteristics. - A 4-Mbytes-per-second bandwidth - Up to eight nodes (one interface and up to seven additional DSSI Devices (RF-series ISEs, TF85s, and adapters)) - Eight data lines - One parity line - Eight control lines DSSI architecture improves system performance as follows. - Each device queues requests and each performs seek ordering. - Mass storage devices can act independently, since each device contains its own controller. Several devices can work simultaneously. An ISE can maintain connection to more than one DSSI interface. That feature allows ISEs to be shared by multiple CPUs in a DSSI VAXcluster configuration. For more information about DSSI VAXcluster configurations and the advantages of such configurations, see the section on DSSI VAXcluster capability in your system Operation manual. 4.2 External Hardware Options The following sections contain information on connecting the external hardware options to the system unit. The external hardware options for the VAX 4000 Model 100 include the following: · DSSI expansion box · Q-bus expansion box · Printers, terminals, modems, and other devices that use asynchronous or synchronous connectors Your Digital Sales representative can give you information on how to order a full range of Digital DSSI and Q-bus expansion boxes, printers, terminals, modems, and other devices that are compatible with the VAX 4000 Model 100 system. 4-4 Hardware Options 4.3 Connecting a SCSI Expansion Box The following subsections contain information on: · Guidelines for connecting expansion boxes · Selecting available SCSI IDs on the system · Preparing the system unit for an expansion box · Connecting the SCSI expansion box · Checking the expansion box connections for Q-bus, DSSI, and SCSI 4.3.1 Guidelines for Connecting Expansion Boxes Use the following guidelines when connecting expansion boxes: · The recommended maximum length of the SCSI cables (internal length plus external length) is 19.6 feet (6 metres). · Each device in the expansion boxes and the system box must have a unique SCSI ID. · You must attach the 50-pin terminator that comes with the expansion box to an unused SCSI connector on the back of an expansion box. · Plug the expansion boxes into the same grounded power strip or electrical circuit as the system. · Do not connect more than two tape drive devices. ------------------------------------------------------------ Caution ------------------------------------------------------------ - Some expansion boxes are restricted to either 110 V ac or 220 V ac operation. Make sure that the voltage requirement of the expansion box used is compatible with the supply voltage. - Turn on the expansion boxes before you turn on the system unit. This procedure ensures that the device in each expansion box is ready for use and that the system firmware includes the device in the configuration display. - Do not connect or disconnect SCSI expansion boxes while the system is turned on. Doing so can cause damage to the equipment or corrupt data. Hardware Options 4-5 - Digital cannot guarantee the correct operation of any SCSI bus that uses cable assemblies not supplied by Digital or not configured in accordance with these guidelines. ------------------------------------------------------------ 4.3.2 Selecting Available SCSI IDs on the System You must identify which SCSI IDs are available before connecting an expansion box. Use the configuration display to determine this information. To see the configuration display, enter the following command: >>> SHOW CONFIG The system displays information similar to the following: KA52-A V1.1, VMB 2.14 08-00-2B-2B-16-91 80MB TstNbr DevNam Info ------ -------- -------------------------- 0 CPU_BD OK A8 MEMORY OK E4 DZ OK E0 SCSI OK ! 3-RZ24L 6-Adapter 7-RRD42 " 5F NI OK 5C DSSI OK 0 QBUS OK E8 COMM OK DSW41/42 2 CHANNEL V3.11-47 EC ASYNC OK DHW41/2 V1.6 ! The letters OK by the SCSI device indicate that it has passed the power-on test. " This line shows the SCSI IDs that are occupied by devices on the SCSI bus. For example, the RZ24 disk drive occupies SCSI ID 3 and the RRD42 drive occupies SCSI ID 7. SCSI ID 6 is the default ID for the SCSI bus adapter. There are eight SCSI IDs, numbered from 0 to 7.

The TZ30 tape drive is supplied with a CompacTape. The CompacTape II is the successor to the CompacTape cartridge. The CompacTape II has tighter tolerances than the CompacTape, which support the higher recording densities of the TK70. The CompacTape and the CompacTape II (when used with TZ30 and TK50 tape drives) have a capacity of 95MB. The TZ30 can use a CompacTape or CompacTape II cartridge that was originally written by the TK50. If a CompacTape II cartridge written by a TK70 is used on a TZ30, the TZ30 automatically unloads the tape cartridge, because the TZ30 cannot read the tape cartridge. The green LED flashes, indicating a tape error.

There is a slot for the label on the front of the cartridge. See Figure B-2. The label is visible when the cartridge is in the drive. Labels or markings on any other part of the cartridge can interfere with the proper operation of the drive. Do not write on the cartridge with a pen, pencil, or other marking instrument. The labels supplied with the CompacTape II cartridges have spaces that mark the capacity of the tape cartridge. If a TK50 or TZ30 wrote data to the tape cartridge, mark the 95MB block on the label. If a TK70 wrote data to the tape cartridge, mark the 296MB block on the label. If you use TK70 and TZ30 drives, note that the TZ30 is unable to read or write tapes that have originally been written to by the TK70. However, the TK70 can read tapes written by the TZ30 or the TK50. Figure B-2 Labeling the Tape Cartridge ! Label Slot Removable Storage Media B-3 B.1.2 Writing to and Write-Protecting Tape Cartridges CompacTape and CompacTape II cartridges have a write-protect switch that prevents an accidental overwrite of data. The system can read information on the tape regardless of the position of the write-protect switch. However, the system cannot write data to a write-protected tape. Write-Protecting a Tape When you use a tape to install software, set the write-protect switch on the front of the cartridge to the write-protect position by sliding it left towards the label until it locks in place (see Figure B-3). An orange rectangle appears when the write-protect switch locks in the write-protect position. Writing to a Tape When you use a tape to make a backup copy or to write data, set the write- protect switch to the write-enable position. To set the switch to the write- enable position, slide it to the right, away from the label, until the switch locks in place. B.1.3 Handling and Storing Tape Cartridges Inside the cartridge, a 600-foot single reel of magnetic tape stores data. A plastic tape leader is at the beginning of the tape. Take the following precautions when handling and storing tapes: · Do not touch the exposed surface of the tape. · Do not drop the tape cartridge. · Allow tape cartridges to reach room temperature before using them. · Store the tape where the room temperature is between 10°C and 40°C (50°F and 104°F) and the humidity is between 20% and 80%. · Place the identification label in the slot provided on the tape cartridge. · Store the tape cartridge in its plastic cover. · Do not expose the tape to direct sunlight, heat, magnetic fields, or X-rays.

Removable Storage Media B-13 C ------------------------------------------------------------ Programming Parameters for DSSI Devices This appendix describes the console mode procedures for setting and examining parameters for DSSI devices. ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ Before you reprogram DSSI devices, you should have a good understanding of DSSI architecture and VAXcluster software operation. If you do not have that understanding, you should read the VMS manuals listed in Appendix A or call your Digital service representative. ------------------------------------------------------------ On the VAX 4000 Model 100 system, an embedded DSSI adapter on the KA52 CPU provides the interface between the CPU and the DSSI storage devices. The adapter provides a DSSI bus that can support up to eight nodes, where the adapter and each DSSI storage device counts as one node, hence each DSSI adpater can support up to seven DSSI storage devices (six DSSI storage devices for a two-system DSSI VAXcluster; five DSSI storage devices for a three-system DSSI VAXcluster configuration). The adapters make a connection between the CPU and the requested device on their respective DSSI bus. Each DSSI device has its own controller and server that contain the intelligence and logic necessary to control data transfers over the DSSI bus. C.1 DSSI Device Parameters Seven principal parameters are associated with each DSSI device: · Bus Node ID · ALLCLASS · UNITNUM · FORCEUNI Programming Parameters for DSSI Devices C-1 · NODENAME · SYSTEMID · DSSI NODE ID ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ Each of the above parameters, with the exception of the Bus Node ID, are programmed and examined using the console-based Diagnostic and Utility Program (DUP) driver utility. The Bus Node ID is physically determined by jumpers on disk drive. ------------------------------------------------------------ Figure C-1 Setting the DSSI Node ID on an RF31T or an RF35 C-2 Programming Parameters for DSSI Devices Table C-1 RF31T/RF35 DSSI ID Jumper Combinations ------------------------------------------------------------ DSSI ID Pin 5 Pin 3 Pin 1 ------------------------------------------------------------ 0 Out Out Out 1 Out Out In 2 Out In Out 3 Out In In 4 In Out Out 5 In Out In 6 In In Out 7 In In In ------------------------------------------------------------ A brief description of each parameter follows. The Bus Node ID parameter is provided by the jumpers on the disks. Each DSSI bus can support up to eight nodes, 0-7. Each DSSI adapter and each device count as a node. Hence, in a single-system configuration, a DSSI bus can support up to seven devices, bus nodes 0-6 (with node 7 reserved for the adapter); in a two-system DSSI VAXcluster configuration, up to six devices, 0-5 (with nodes 6 and 7 reserved for the adapters); in a three-system DSSI VAXcluster configuration, up to five devices, 0-4 (with nodes 5, 6, and 7 reserved for the adapters). The ALLCLASS parameter determines the device allocation class. The allocation class is a numeric value from 0 to 255 that is used by the VMS operating system to derive a path-independent name for multiple access paths to the same device. The ALLCLASS firmware parameter corresponds to the VMS SYSGEN parameter ALLOCLASS. DSSI devices are shipped from the factory with a default allocation class of zero. Each device to be served to a cluster should have a nonzero allocation class that matches the allocation class of the system. Refer to the VMS VAXcluster manual for rules for specifying allocation class values. The UNITNUM parameter determines the unit number of the device. By default, the device unit number is supplied by the jumpers on the drives. Systems with multiple DSSI buses, as described later in this section, require that the default values be replaced with unique unit numbers. To set unit numbers and override the default values, you use the console-based DUP driver utility to supply values to the UNITNUM parameter and to set a value of zero to device parameter FORCEUNI. Programming Parameters for DSSI Devices C-3 The FORCEUNI parameter controls the use of UNITNUM to override the default device unit number supplied by the jumpers. When FORCEUNI is set to a value of zero, the operating system uses the value assigned to the UNITNUM parameter; when FORCEUNI is set to a value of one, the operating system uses the value supplied by the jumpers. The NODENAME parameter allows each device to have an alphanumeric node name of up to eight characters. DSSI devices are shipped from the factory with a unique identifier, such as R7CZZC, R7ALUC, and so on. You can provide your own node name. The SYSTEMID parameter provides a number that uniquely identifies the device to the operating system. That parameter may need to be modified only when replacing a device. Only Digital service representatives and licensed self-maintenance customers should remove devices. C.2 How VMS Uses the DSSI Device Parameters This section describes how the operating system uses the parameters to form unique identifiers for each device. Configurations that require you to assign new unit numbers for devices are also described. With an allocation class of zero, the operating system can use the default parameter values to provide each device with a unique device name. The operating system uses the node name along with the device logical name in the following manner. NODENAME$DIAu where NODENAME is a unique node name, and u is the unit number. With a nonzero allocation class, the operating system relies on unit number values to create a unique device name. The operating system uses the allocation class along with the device logical name in the following manner. $ALLCLASS$DIAu where ALLCLASS is the allocation class for the system and devices, and u is a unique unit number. Figure C-2 illustrates the need to program unit numbers for a system using more than one DSSI bus and a nonzero allocation class. In the case of the nonzero allocation class, the operating system sees three of the integrated storage elements (ISEs) as having duplicate device names, which is an error, as all unit numbers must be unique. C-4 Programming Parameters for DSSI Devices Figure C-2 VMS Operating System Requires Unique Unit Numbers for DSSI Devices ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ You should configure your system to have unique unit numbers even if you have a standalone system using an allocation class of zero. That practice will avoid problems with duplicate device names if you later decide to form a cluster. ------------------------------------------------------------ Programming Parameters for DSSI Devices C-5 C.3 Examining and Setting DSSI Device Parameters The following instructions describe how to change DSSI parameters, using the DUP driver utility. In the example procedures, the allocation class will be set to 2. 1. Enter the console mode. The procedure for programming parameters for DSSI devices from console mode requires that you issue commands to those devices at the console prompt >>>. You may enter the commands in either uppercase or lowercase letters. Unless otherwise instructed, enter each command, then press Return. Enter console mode as follows. a. Set the Break Enable/Disable switch on the system console module to the enable position (up, position | ). b. Set the Power switch for each unit (both hosts for a dual-host system, and any expanders for expanded systems) to the on position ( | ). Wait for the system to display the console prompt (>>>). 2. To display the DSSI devices on embedded DSSI adapters, enter SHOW DSSI at the console prompt. The firmware displays two lines of information for each device. For embedded DSSI, the firmware displays the following. · The first line contains the bus number, node number, and node name. · The second line contains the device name and unit number followed by the device type in parentheses. For embedded DSSI, the device name consists of the letters DIAu or DIBu (MIAu or MIBu for the TF-series tape drive. Devices on bus 0 are listed as DIA. The embedded DSSI host is identified by an asterisk (*). >>>SHOW DSSI DSSI Bus 0 Node 0 (R7ALUC) -DIA0 (RF73) DSSI Bus 0 Node 1 (R7EB3C) -DIA1 (RF73) DSSI Bus 0 Node 2 (R7EB22) -DIA2 (RF73) DSSI Bus 0 Node 5 (TFDR1) -MIA5 (TF85) DSSI Bus 0 Node 6 (*) >>> C-6 Programming Parameters for DSSI Devices ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ The DUP driver examples throughout this appendix are for RF-series ISEs.
