The SCSI ID switches located on the HSZ10-AA controller are preset to the default setting shown in Section 1.3. This guide describes how to do the following: · Remove the HSZ10-AA controller. · Set the SCSI ID switches. · Replace the controller in the BA350-EA shelf. · Add a controller. This chapter contains the following information: · Product description · SCSI ID for the drive channels · SCSI ID for the host channel 1.1 Product Description The HSZ10-AA controller is an intelligent SCSI disk array controller that supports the following characteristics: · RAID levels 0, 1, 3, and 5 · Host SCSI support: fast (10 Mbytes per second), wide (16 bits), differential SCSI-2 · Drive support: 5 Mbytes per second SCSI-2 (5 channels) · Dimensions (form factor): 7.75 inches by 12.5 inches Introduction 1-1 Introduction 1.1 Product Description The physical standard dimensions (form factor) of the controller are designed to fit in a BA350-EA shelf shown in Figure 1-1 in either controller slot. If there is only one controller, it should go into the top slot (or left slot if the unit is mounted in a BA35X-VA kit) shown in Figure 1-1 as ``Controller 1.'' Figure 1-1 Diagram of the BA350-EA Shelf The five drive SCSI buses are directly connected to the BA350-EA backplane through connectors shown as J3, J4, and J5 as shown in Figure 1-2. 1-2 Introduction Introduction 1.1 Product Description Figure 1-2 Physical Layout of the HSZ10-AA Controller Connection to the host SCSI bus is through the 68-pin P-cable SCSI connections. Either the J1 or the J2 connector can be used. Whichever connector is not used is available for either daisy chaining to another HSZ10-AA controller or terminating the SCSI bus with the terminator provided. An LED display is used for status information for the controller. A handle is provided for shielding as well as user convenience during removal and insertion of the HSZ10-AA controller. Two captive screws secure the controller into the BA350-EA shelf. Introduction 1-3 Introduction 1.2 Setting the SCSI ID on the Controller for the Array Channel 1.2 Setting the SCSI ID on the Controller for the Array Channel The SCSI ID of the controller used on the drive bus is determined by the controller slot of the BA350-EA shelf backplane. If the controller is placed in the Controller 1 slot, then the SCSI ID is 7. If the controller is placed in the Controller 2 slot, then the SCSI ID is 6. 1.3 Setting the SCSI ID on the Controller for the Host Channel The SCSI ID on the host channel is set by using SW1 as shown in Figure 1-3. Figure 1-3 SW1--SCSI ID Settings By default, the switch is set to SCSI ID 0, as shown in Figure 1-3. The SCSI ID can be set to any value between 0 and 15. To change the default SCSI ID, you must remove the HSZ10-AA controller from the BA350-EA shelf, and then set the SCSI ID. The procedure for removing the controller is described in Chapter 2. Figure 1-4 shows examples of SCSI ID 4, 6, and 12. 1-4 Introduction Introduction 1.3 Setting the SCSI ID on the Controller for the Host Channel Figure 1-4 SCSI ID Setting Examples ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ If the HSZ10-AA controller is to be used with 8-bit devices on the host SCSI bus, then the SCSI IDs of the controller should be restricted to between 0 and 7. ------------------------------------------------------------ Introduction 1-5 2 ------------------------------------------------------------ How to Replace an HSZ10-AA Controller Do following steps to replace an HSZ10-AA controller board. ------------------------------------------------------------ Caution ------------------------------------------------------------ To avoid unnecessary static damage, follow adequate antistatic procedures when handling HSZ10-AA controllers. ------------------------------------------------------------ If the unit is mounted as a part of a vertical mounting kit (BA35X-VA), then the cabinet door and front bezel should be removed as shown in Figure 2-1. The procedure is described in the BA35X-VA Verticle Mounting Kit User 's Guide. After you open the cabinet door, press down on the plastic clips at the base of the bezel and pull the bezel toward you.

If the power is on, then the controller shows the green power light and the ``Heartbeat'' LED next to it and at the other end of the LED indicator is an LED value of 5. See Figure 2-4. Figure 2-4 LED Indicators How to Replace an HSZ10-AA Controller 2-5 How to Replace an HSZ10-AA Controller Figure 2-5 shows the new LED indicators. Figure 2-5 LED Indicators for the Fully Functional State If the LED does not appear as shown in Figure 2-5, then refer to Chapter 6, Operations and Chapter 8, Error Handling/Troubleshooting in the DEC RAID Subsystem User 's Guide. 10. If the unit is contained in a vertical mounting kit, then replace the bezel. Refer to the BA35X-VA Verticle Mounting Kit User 's Guide for details. 2-6 How to Replace an HSZ10-AA Controller 3 ------------------------------------------------------------ How to Add an Additional Controller Follow these steps to add a controller: 1. If two controllers are to be daisy chained together on the same SCSI bus, then set the SCSI ID of the new controller so that it does not conflict with the existing controller. 2. Slide the controller into the empty slot shown as ``Controller 2'' in Figure 1-1 and secure it in place using the thumb screws. 3. Connect to the existing controller and/or to the host using the appropriate cable provided. ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ An additional controller will be in a passive state. The additional controller can only be taken out of this state by using a host adapter/operating system environment that can use a redundant controller configuration. Such a configuration is not yet supported. ------------------------------------------------------------ How to Add an Additional Controller 3-1
