Reading this manual is necessary for proper installation. vi Chapter 1 ------------------------------------------------------------ Safety Precautions 1.1 Introduction This chapter discusses hazards and safety precautions. The Digital Services engineer should be aware of these hazards and precautions when installing SF7x/SF3x disk storage enclosure options as embedded storage in a VAX 6000 Series Processor cabinet. WARNING Only qualified Digital Services engineers can perform installa- tion and maintenance of any equipment described or referred to in this manual. Digital customer access to VAX 6000 embedded storage op- tions is limited to SF7x/SF3x enclosure operator control pan- els (OCPs) through openings in the system cabinet front door. Digital customer access to embedded storage options by opening system cabinet front or rear doors is prohibited. 1.2 Hazards and Safety Precautions The front and rear doors of a VAX 6000 series processor cabinet are considered safety barriers. High voltages and the blower assembly are accessible once the front door is opened and high voltages are accessible once the rear door is opened. Safety Precautions 1-1 Both cabinet doors are locked and cannot be opened without a 5/32 hex key. Only Digital Services engineers can open the front or rear door without violating Digital safety measures. 1.3 ESD Precautions Only Digital Service engineers with training in electrostatic discharge (ESD) procedures should install VAX 6000/SF7x/SF3x embedded storage options and hardware or work with the processor cabinet. Digital Services engineers must wear proper ESD protective ground straps connected to a good ground when accessing, installing, or repair- ing embedded storage options or VAX 6000 series processor cabinets. ESD kits, containing protective ground straps, are behind the front and rear doors of the processor cabinet. Use these ground straps when performing services on the processor cabinet. When installing or servicing an option, use a separate ground strap, connected directly to the option. 1.4 System Grounding Precautions Proper grounding is required between the VAX 6000 system and any enclosures connected via a common DSSI bus. WARNING If the enclosures are not connected to a common ground, a personal safety hazard could result. If the ground offset voltages generated in the power distribution system exceed allowable limits, data transmission across the DSSI bus can be affected. System(s) performance could be degraded significantly and data could be corrupted. 1-2 Safety Precautions For a DSSI installation, the maximum ground offset voltage differential allowed between enclosures is: ------------------------------------------------------------ DSSI Bus Length 1 ------------------------------------------------------------ Allowable Offset ------------------------------------------------------------ Meters Feet DC AC ------------------------------------------------------------ Up to 20 Up to 65 200 mv 70 mv (rms) 20-25 65-82 40 mv 14 mv (rms) ------------------------------------------------------------ 1 The total length includes all DSSI cable lengths, internal and external to the enclosures. ------------------------------------------------------------ Ensure that the power distribution systems meet local codes prior to DSSI system installation. In a properly wired power distribution sys- tem(s) connected to properly functioning (no ground faults) equipment, generally no further attention to grounding is needed. The power distri- bution system provides a satisfactory path between enclosures. To ensure proper grounding, perform a power system survey before installation by answering the following questions: 1. Do any outlets being used not have power ground connections? 2. Is the grounding prong missing on any of the computer equipment power cords? 3. Are any of the power outlet neutral connections actually ground connections? 4. Are the grounds for any of the power distribution cirtuits (outlets) not connected to the same power distribution panel? 5. Are any devices not UL or IEC approved connected to the same breaker as any of the DSSI computer equipment? If the answers to all of the above questions are "no", then the grounding should be adequate for DSSI operation. It is recommended that the ground offset voltage between any two enclo- sures be measured. However, this only provides data for that particular moment in time. Ground offset values may change as additional devices are connected to the same power source. Safety Precautions 1-3 If the installation shows ground offset voltages between interconnected enclosures exceeding the allowable limits, use one of the following solu- tions: a. Have an electrician correct any deficiencies detected during the power system survey. This solution is recommended. b. Install grounding cables between enclosures. Grounding cables, available from Digital, come with the necessary hardware for instal- lation. Installation of additional grounding cables normally reduces the ground voltage offset sufficiently to meet the requirements. In severe cases, however, the cables may not be large enough. This is revealed by the ground offset voltage measurements. If the additional grounding cables are not adequate, trace the source of the ground offset voltage, which should be reduced or eliminated. 1-4 Safety Precautions Chapter 2 ------------------------------------------------------------ VAX 6000/SF7x/SF3x Embedded Storage Options 2.1 Introduction This chapter: · Describes DSSI disk storage enclosure options that can be installed as embedded storage in the VAX 6000 Series Processor cabinet · Describes kits needed to install these options and gives the parts lists · Gives a storage enclosure overview with specifications NOTE See Appendix C for related documents with more detailed information on DSSI devices. 2.2 DSSI Disk Storage Enclosure Supported Options Table 2-1 describes the DSSI disk storage enclosure options supported as embedded storage in the VAX 6000 Series Processor cabinet.

See Chapter 3 to determine if the replacement procedure is necessary. 2.3 Storage Enclosure Overview The SF-series storage enclosures are available as follows:: · SF3x enclosure, which contains up to twelve half-height, 3-1/2" ISEs · SF7x enclosure, which contains up to four full-height, 5-1/4" ISEs. Each disk ISE within an SF-series enclosure is independently controlled from the operator control panel (OCP) on the front of the enclosure. A power supply in the enclosure provides the DC power and cooling for all disk ISEs installed in the enclosure. 2.3.1 SF3x Storage Enclosure The SF3x storage enclosure (Figure 2-3) holds up to twelve RF3x series ISEs. Six slots are in the front of the enclosure and six slots are in the rear. Disk ISEs installed in these slots plug directly into a backplane, which is cabled to a connector tray on the top rear of the storage enclosure. The SF3x enclosure can be configured in: · Through-bus mode · Split-bus mode In through-bus mode, the six ISEs in the front of the SF3x enclosure are connected to a single DSSI bus, and the six ISEs on the rear of the SF3x enclosure are connected to a second DSSI bus. In split-bus mode, each end of the enclosure (front and rear) is further divided into left-side ISEs and right-side ISEs, each connected to a separate DSSI bus. Thus, in split-bus mode there are four DSSI buses, each with three drives connected to it. VAX 6000/SF7x/SF3x Embedded Storage Options 2-9 2.3.2 SF7x Storage Enclosure The SF7x series storage enclosure (Figure 2-4) holds either two or four RF7x series ISEs. The ISEs in the SF7x storage enclosure can also be configured in: · Through-bus mode · Split-bus mode In through-bus mode, all four disk ISEs are connected to a single DSSI bus. In split-bus mode, the left-side ISEs are connected to one DSSI bus, while the right-side ISEs are connected to a second DSSI bus. Both SF-series storage enclosures have the following features: · Operate in one of two modes: through-bus or split-bus. · Each disk ISE has its own set of switches and indicators on the OCP. · The enclosure power supply provides operating power to all disk ISEs and other subassemblies in the enclosure. · The drive DC power switches for the disk ISEs are on the front panel of the storage enclosure.

Table 4-2 lists the DSSI node IDs set at the factory: Table 4-2: SF3x Factory-set DSSI Node IDs ------------------------------------------------------------ Position Backplane Location DSSI Node ID ------------------------------------------------------------ A upper left slot 0 B upper right slot 1 C middle left slot 2 D middle right slot 3 E lower left slot 4 F lower right slot 5 ------------------------------------------------------------ In some installations, SF3x DSSI node numbers may have to be changed to accommodate other devices configured on the same DSSI bus. To determine if it is necessary to change the node numbers, consider: 1. The number of RF3x ISEs installed in the SF3x enclosure · If this is a (2) drive option (SF3x-BA), only node 0 and 5 will be used leaving nodes 1-4 for other devices. · If this is a (6) drive option (SF3x-HA), nodes 0-5 inclusive will be used. The rear half (DSSI bus 1) of the SF3x Option will be fully populated. · If this is a (12) drive option (SF3x-JA), nodes 0-5 inclusive will be used on both DSSI buses (front and rear of the SF3x enclosure are fully populated). 2. KFMSA DSSI node numbers · DSSI node numbers assigned to the KFMSA XMI Adapter Mod- ule(s) should not conflict with the DSSI node numbers of the ISEs within the SF3x enclosure. · Installing the SF3x Embedded Storage Option in a DSSI VAX- Cluster environment may produce conflicting DSSI node num- bers. Installing the SF7x/SF3x Embedded Storage Options 4-29 3. TF85B-AA Embedded Tape Drive Node number · The TF85B-AA embedded tape drive subsystem is preset at the factory as DSSI node number 0. If you are connecting the SF3x option to the same DSSI bus as that of the TF85B-AA, ensure each DSSI node number is unique. If it is necessary to change the SF3x DSSI node numbers, follow Sec- tion 4.8.2.1. 4.8.2.1 Changing the SF3x Node Numbers You can change the DSSI node ID for an ISE in any given slot position by using DIP switches provided on the SF3x enclosure's transition module. Figure 4-13 shows the location of the switches for each slot position. Table 4-3 shows what the switches must be set to for each slot position.

Installation Troubleshooting the SF7x/SF3x Enclosures 7-21 Appendix A ------------------------------------------------------------ Split-Bus/Disk Striping VAX 6000/SF7x/SF3x Embedded Storage Systems A.1 Disk Striping Overview The software, VAX Disk Striping Driver, implements disk striping for the VMS Operating System. Disk Striping interleaves multiple disks to improve I/O performance in the same way high-performance memory systems interleave memory banks. In each case, data requests are decomposed and distributed to storage components processing those requests in parallel. Disk Striping is a layered product that can relieve three types of I/O performance problems: · Applications requiring very high data transfer rates · Systems in which static disk load balancing is ineffective · Applications prohibited from distributing data across multiple disks, but need higher throughput than is available from a single disk The VAX Disk Striping Driver software is furnished under the licens- ing provisions of Digital Equipment Corporation's Standard Terms and Conditions. For more information, refer to Software Product Descrip- tion, SPD 31.66.01, (AE-NZ29B-TE) and SSA 31.66.01-A, (AE-NZ30B- TE), April 1991.

The configuration shown throughout this section utilizes the CK-KFMSA-LN cable kits and cables the SF3x Storage Enclosures in an end-node posi- tion. CAUTION Ensure proper shutdown and power down procedures have been followed before continuing. 1. From the rear of the systems, open the door to each cabinet using a 5/32 hex key. 2. Remove the terminators from the KFMSA I/O panels from each of the systems. 3. Connect a BC21Q-xx cable to port 1 of the I/O panel (A) located in System 1 (Figure B-2). Route this cable through the cable management guide of System 1. 4. Route the other end of the BC21Q-xx cable through the cable man- agement guide in System 2. 5. Connect the other end of the BC21Q-xx cable to port 1 of the I/O panel (C) located in System 2 (Figure B-2). 6. Install a terminator (Part # 12-31261-01) on the empty connection at port 1 of I/O panel (C) located in System 2 (Figure B-2).
