The KA65A processor uses +3.3V power, which may or may not be directly available on the system you are upgrading. If the system supplies +3.3V power, upgrading is simple. If the system does not supply +3.3V power, you must tailor it so that it does before you can install the KA65A. There are two ways of doing this; the easiest way uses the H9657-CX kit, which is supplied with all orders for KA65A processors for upgrades from Model 200, 300, or 400 systems. You may or may not need the H9657-CX kit. Section 1.2 describes the conditions that determine whether to use the H9657-CX kit. This chapter describes the possible upgrade paths for installing the Model 500 processor and gives preparatory steps for all upgrade paths. Sections include: · KA65A Upgrade Paths · Comparison of the H9657-CX and H9657-CU Upgrades · How to Use This Book Introduction 1-1 1.1 KA65A Upgrade Paths There are four starting points from which to upgrade to a VAX 6000 Model 500 system. Figure 1-1: KA65A Upgrade Paths 1-2 VAX 6000: Installing Model 500 Processors You will need to upgrade a VAX 6000 system by installing KA65A processor boards when: ! The customer already has a VAX 6000 Model 500 system and simply wants to add more KA65A processors. " The customer is upgrading to a Model 500 from a Model 300 or 400 that is equipped to supply +3.3V power to the KA65A. # The customer is upgrading to a Model 500 from a Model 200, 300, or 400 system that is not equipped to supply the +3.3V power needed by the KA65A. In most cases, you install the H9657-CX upgrade kit, which consists of a power regulator module and a bus bar. This is cheaper and simpler than solution $, but there are some limitations on the new configuration. $ Again, the customer is upgrading to a Model 500 from a Model 200, 300, or 400 system that is not equipped to supply the +3.3V power needed by the KA65A. However, this case requires a full power and packaging upgrade. In this upgrade, you disregard the H9657-CX kit, and instead install the H9657-CU upgrade kit. With this upgrade, you replace most of the major power elements of the system, achieving the same power environment as that available with a factory-built Model 500. The H9657-CU installation is described in the VAX 6000 XMI Conversion Manual. NOTE: If you order a Model 500 processor (KA65A) for cases ", #, and $, you will receive an H9657-CX upgrade kit automatically. You only need this kit for case #. Disregard it for the other situations. Section 1.2 compares the upgrades in # and $. Section 1.3 tells what sections of this manual you need to read for the various upgrade paths. Introduction 1-3 1.2 Comparison of the H9657-CX and H9657-CU Upgrades Three factors guide the customer 's choice between the H9657-CX and H9657-CU upgrades. Figure 1-2: Tradeoffs Between the H9657-CX and H9657-CU Upgrades 1-4 VAX 6000: Installing Model 500 Processors As Figure 1-2 shows, three factors affect the customer 's choice between the two ways of upgrading to a VAX 6000 Model 500 from a Model 200, 300, or 400 with an XMI that does not have +3.3V power. ! Need for Battery Backup The H7231-N battery backup unit (used with the VAX 6000 Model 200, 300, or 400 systems without a +3.3V XMI) is incompatible with the KA65A processor. An H7236-A battery backup unit is required, and its installation entails the full power and packaging upgrade (the H9657- CU kit). " Need for More Than Four CPUs The H9657-CX kit generates enough +3.3V power to run four KA65A CPUs. If you need more than four CPUs, you must perform the full power and packaging upgrade, where you install the H7242 power regulator. # Need for More Than 12 XMI Slots The H9657 power regulator module requires two XMI slots, leaving 12 slots for processors, memories, and adapters. If you need more than 12 slots, you must install the full power and packaging upgrade. If the customer does not need the three items mentioned, option $, installing the H9657-CX kit is probably the best choice. If the customer needs any of the three items, option % is needed. This upgrade is described in detail in the VAX 6000 XMI Conversion Manual. Introduction 1-5 1.3 How to Use This Book Only some chapters of this manual are relevant to your particular installation. Figure 1-3: How to Read This Book 1-6 VAX 6000: Installing Model 500 Processors As shown in Figure 1-3, you do not need to use this whole manual. You should read different chapters depending on what kind of system you are upgrading and how: ! If you have a VAX 6000 Model 500 and are adding KA65A CPUs, you should read: · Chapter 2, Preparation · Chapter 5, Installing the KA65A Processor · Chapter 6, Verifying the System " If you have a VAX 6000 Model 300 or 400 that supplies +3.3V power, you should read: · Chapter 2, Preparation · Chapter 3, Removing the +3.3V Power Inhibit Cable · Chapter 5, Installing the KA65A Processor · Chapter 6, Verifying the System # If you have a VAX 6000 Model 200, 300, or 400 that does not supply +3.3V power and you can use an H9657-CX kit, you need to read: · Chapter 2, Preparation · Chapter 4, Installing the H9657-CX Kit · Chapter 5, Installing the KA65A Processor · Chapter 6, Verifying the System $ If you have a VAX 6000 Model 200, 300, or 400 that does not supply +3.3V power and you need the full power and packaging upgrade, you must use the H9657-CU kit. The manual describing this installation is the VAX 6000 XMI Conversion Manual. You can then read: · Chapter 5 of this manual, Installing the KA65A Processor · Chapter 6 of this manual, Verifying the System Introduction 1-7 Chapter 2 Preparing for the Installation ------------------------------------------------------------ Before you install the KA65A processors in your VAX 6000 system, you need to make sure that the system will work after the physical installation has been done. This chapter describes the procedure. Sections include: · Save EEPROM Contents to TK Tape (Optional) · Record System Parameters · Shut Down the System · Remove Old Modules · Return Old Processor Modules · Continuing the Installation NOTE: If you are upgrading a VAX 6000 Model 200, 300, or 400, make sure that the version of your installed operating system is one that supports the Model 500 (KA65A) processor. Otherwise, you will not be able to restart the system after installing the KA65A processor. VMS Version 5.4 or later supports the KA65A processor; for other operating systems, see Digital's Systems and Options Catalog. Preparing for the Installation 2-1 2.1 Save EEPROM Contents to TK Tape (Optional) You may want to prepare for the upgrade by saving or otherwise recording the EEPROM contents of the current system. This information will serve as insurance in case the installation of the new KA65A processor does not work, and you want to restore the old processors to have a working system. Example 2-1: SAVE EEPROM Command for Systems with TK Tape ! A blank TK tape is in the tape drive. With the upper ! ! key switch at Enable and the lower key switch at Halt, ! press the Restart button. #123456789 0123456789 0123456789 01234567# " F E D C B A 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 NODE # A A . .

Enter a Y to continue. Proceed with save to tape? (Y or N) >>> Y ?6B EEPROM saved to tape successfully. % ! System confirms SAVE is complete. >>> & In Example 2-1, the SAVE EEPROM command copies the boot processor 's EEPROM contents to a TK cartridge. Earlier VAX 6000 systems have TK50 tape drives; later models have TK70 tape drives. The operation of the TK50 differs slightly from the TK70. See the Owner 's Manual for your system for more information on the TK tape drive. 2-2 VAX 6000: Installing Model 500 Processors If your system does not have a TK drive, you can save the information as described in Section 2.2. Example 2-1 shows the steps to save the EEPROM contents. ! Put a blank TK cartridge in the tape drive. Put the control panel's upper key switch in the Enable position and the lower key switch in the Halt position, and then press the Restart button to generate self-test results. See the Owner 's Manual for your system for a full explanation of self-test results. " These numbers appear only for Model 400 and 500 systems and indicate the progress of self-test. The progress trace line is displayed by the processor in slot 1. # Note the values here for the EEPROM. The second number indicates if any patches have been installed. Whenever you do an upgrade, make sure that the boot processor has the latest patches installed on its EEPROM before you perform the save operation. $ Following self-test, the console prompt appears. At the prompt, enter SAVE EEPROM. The console program queries you, to confirm the SAVE EEPROM operation. Enter Y. This operation saves the information from the boot processor and overwrites any existing information on the TK cartridge. The save process takes less than a minute to complete. % The console program confirms that the save operation has completed successfully. When the console prompt returns, the save operation is complete. Saved information includes: System serial number Systemwide console parameters (baud rate, interleave, terminal characteristics) Saved boot specifications Diagnostic patches Console patches Boot primitives & Rewind the tape and remove the cartridge from the drive. Label and write-protect the tape. NOTE: The information just saved to tape should be used only on the system it was written from, with its original processor. System-specific information is stored in the processor EEPROMs. Preparing for the Installation 2-3 2.2 Record System Parameters Save a printout of the system parameters, which you'll want to restore after installation.

Preparing for the Installation 2-5 2.3 Shut Down the System Before doing anything more to install KA65A processors, shut down the operating system and turn off the upper key switch. If you are installing an H9657-CX or an H9657-CU kit, you also need to turn off the AC power supply and unplug the machine. Figure 2-1: Power Down the System 2-6 VAX 6000: Installing Model 500 Processors 1. Perform an orderly shutdown of the operating system. 2. Turn the upper key switch on the front control panel to the Off (0) position (see Figure 2-1). 3. Open the front cabinet door. 4. Remove the clear plastic door in front of the XMI card cage. For all systems except those using the H9657-CX kit or the H9657-CU kit to provide power, further work will involve taking modules in and out of the XMI card cage, and you can proceed while electrical power is being supplied to the system. If you are using the H9657-CX or the H9657-CU kit, you will be working directly with power bus bars; turn off the power supply. 1. Open the rear cabinet door. 2. At the rear of the cabinet, pull out the circuit breaker on the AC power controller to the Off position (see Figure 2-1). 3. Unplug the system power cord; wait 2 minutes for capacitors to discharge. Preparing for the Installation 2-7 2.4 Remove Old Modules Before installing new processor modules, take out the old ones. Figure 2-2: Removing Old Modules from the XMI Card Cage 2-8 VAX 6000: Installing Model 500 Processors Upgrading a VAX 6000 to a Model 500 may require changing memory or I/O modules. Table 2-1 lists the compatibility restrictions inherent with (1) using the H9657-CX to provide the +3.3V power needed for the KA65A and (2) all other ways of obtaining the +3.3V power.

As noted in Chapter 1, you read only the chapters that apply to your installation. · Upgrading a Model 500 System. Proceed to Chapter 5 (Installing the KA65A Processor) and Chapter 6 (Verifying the System). · Upgrading a Model 300 or 400 System with +3.3V XMI. Proceed to Chapter 3 (Removing the +3.3V Power Inhibit Cable) and then to Chapters 5 and 6 (Installing the KA65A Processor and Verifying the System). · Upgrading a Model 200, 300, or 400 with an H9657-CX Kit. Proceed to Chapter 4 (Installing the H9657-CX Kit) and then to Chapters 5 and 6 (Installing the KA65A Processor and Verifying the System). · Upgrading a Model 200, 300, or 400 with an H9657-CU Kit. See the VAX 6000 XMI Conversion Manual for directions on how to convert the power system. You can then refer to Chapters 5 and 6 of this manual to tell you how to install KA65A processor(s) and verify the installation. Preparing for the Installation 2-11 Chapter 3 Removing the +3.3V Inhibit Cable ------------------------------------------------------------ If the VAX 6000 Model 300 or 400 has a +3.3V XMI, you need to remove a power-inhibit cable before installing any KA65A processors. Go to the rear of the cabinet and unplug the small cable from connection J1 of the H7242 regulator with the main cable to the H7206-B. Plug the end of the main cable back into connection J1 of the H7242 regulator. Figure 3-1: Removing the +3.3V Inhibit Cable Removing the +3.3V Inhibit Cable 3-1 Chapter 4 Installing the H9657-CX Kit ------------------------------------------------------------ If you have a VAX 6000 Model 200, 300, or 400 system that does not have a +3.3V XMI, the H9657-CX kit lets you upgrade the system to a Model 500 without going through the full power and packaging upgrade (kit H9657- CU). This chapter assumes that you have powered the system down as described in Chapter 2. Sections include: · Contents of the H9657-CX Kit · Configuration Rules for the H9657-CX Kit · Installing the Bus Bar · Installing the T2019 Module NOTE: The H9657-CX kit, consisting of a power regulator module and a bus bar, is provided with KA65A processor modules when the customer is upgrading from a VAX 6000 Model 200, 300, or 400 system. You do not use the kit in all cases, however. The H9657-CX kit is only used for an upgrade from a VAX 6000 Model 200, 300, or 400 system with an XMI that does not supply +3.3V, and where the following conditions hold: · No battery backup is needed · No more than 4 processors are needed · No more than 12 XMI slots are needed Installing the H9657-CX Kit 4-1 4.1 Contents of the H9657-CX Kit The H9657-CX kit contains a blue bus bar (with four screws) and a T2019 power regulator module. Figure 4-1: T2019 Power Regulator Module and Bus Bar 4-2 VAX 6000: Installing Model 500 Processors The H9657-CX kit contains: · A T2019 power regulator module that you install in the XMI-1 cage. This module converts the +5V power supplied to the XMI-1 backplane to +3.3V required by the KA65A processor. · A blue bus bar that routes the +5V and +3.3V power to the appropriate places. · Four screws to install the bus bar. Installing the H9657-CX Kit 4-3 4.2 Configuration Rules for the H9657-CX Kit Install the T2019 power regulator module in slot 2 of the XMI-1 card cage. Slot 1 must be vacant, since the T2019 has heat sinks that protrude into slot 1 space. Figure 4-2: XMI Configuration When Using the H9657-CX Kit 4-4 VAX 6000: Installing Model 500 Processors Figure 4-2 shows the XMI configuration rules that apply to systems with a T2019 power regulator module installed. ! Slot E of the XMI must be filled for the system to operate. Slot E may contain a processor or an I/O adapter, but not a memory module. For systems with VAXBI buses, a DWMBx-A is typically in this slot, to be close to a corresponding DWMBx/B in the VAXBI card cage. Note that the VAX 6000 Model 500 supports the DWMBA only when the H9657-CX kit is installed. Other Model 500 systems use the DWMBB for communication with the VAXBI. " The T2019 module is installed in slot 2. Heat sinks on the module protrude into the space allotted for slot 1. Do not insert the T2019 in any other slot. # By convention, install processor modules at slot 3 and proceed to the left. A maximum of four processors can be installed when you upgrade using the H9657-CX kit. $ Memory modules can be placed in slots 3 through D. By convention in Model 500 systems, memory modules are first placed at slot 9 and then proceed to the right. Additional memory would then be installed beginning at slot 10 and proceeding to the left to slot D. % No I/O adapters can be placed in slots 6, 7, 8, and 9. Installing the H9657-CX Kit 4-5 4.3 Installing the Bus Bar The blue bus bar in the H9657-CX kit transfers the incoming +5V power to the T2019 module and delivers the +3.3V power produced by that module to the appropriate place on the XMI backplane. Figure 4-3: Installing the H9657-CX Bus Bar 4-6 VAX 6000: Installing Model 500 Processors To install the H9657-CX components, you should: 1. Perform an orderly shutdown of the operating system. 2. Turn the upper key switch on the front control panel to the 0 (Off) position. 3. Open the front and rear doors. 4. At the rear of the cabinet, pull the circuit breaker on the AC power controller to the Off position. The AC power controller is at the bottom rear of the cabinet. 5. Unplug the system power cord. WARNING: Wait at least 2 minutes after unplugging the system before touching any components of the machine. Voltage discharges slowly and can hurt you if you touch some of the components. Damage can also occur to the modules. 6. At the front of the system, remove the clear plastic door in front of the XMI cage. CAUTION: Always wear an antistatic wrist strap before handling XMI modules. 7. Remove the old processor (and memory) modules and put them in ESD boxes. (See Chapter 5 for module handling procedures.) 8. At the rear of the cabinet, lower the I/O tray to gain access to the back of the XMI. 9. Loosen the four screws on the +5V rail at the upper left of the XMI card cage and slide the left part of the bus bar under the four screws. (See ) in Figure 4-3.) 10. Install the connectors at the bottom of the bus bar into slot 2 segments D and E. (See +>.) 11. Using a large Phillips screwdriver, screw the right portion of the new bus bar onto the +3V rail using the four screws in the kit. Position the bus bar so that the screws go in the four holes at the far right of the rail. (See +?.) 12. With the bus bar in place, tighten the four screws on the +5V rail. Torque the screws to 9 (+/-1.8) inch-pounds. 13. Fold up the I/O tray to its original position. Close the rear cabinet door. Installing the H9657-CX Kit 4-7 4.4 Installing the T2019 Module The T2019 power regulator module transforms the +5V supplied to the XMI-1 backplane to the +3.3V needed by the KA65A processor. Install the T2019 in slot 2 of the XMI cage. Figure 4-4: Installing the T2019 Power Regulator Module 4-8 VAX 6000: Installing Model 500 Processors Figure 4-4 shows the T2019 power regulator module. It must be inserted in slot 2 of the XMI cage with slot 1 empty. (The heat sinks on the T2019 protrude into slot 1.) Follow these steps to install the T2019 module: 1. At the front of the cabinet, insert the T2019 module in slot 2 of the XMI card cage. 2. Power up the system with only the T2019 module in the XMI card cage. The four LEDs on the module indicate status, as listed in Table 4-1. Table 4-1 lists the meaning of the LEDs. The top two lights should be lit to indicate that the H9657-CX kit has been properly installed and is working. Table 4-1: T2019 Power Regulator Module LEDs ------------------------------------------------------------ LED Top to Bottom Color Meaning ------------------------------------------------------------ 1 Clear +3.3V supplied 2 Clear +5V supplied 3 Red +3.3V not supplied 4 Red System shutdown ------------------------------------------------------------ Installing the H9657-CX Kit 4-9 Chapter 5 Installing the KA65A Processor ------------------------------------------------------------ This chapter tells how to handle the KA65A processor and install it in the XMI card cage. Sections include: · Holding the KA65A Processor · Inserting the KA65A Processor Into an XMI Card Cage Chapter 4 gives configuration rules for systems upgraded with an H9657- CX kit. See Appendix A for configuration rules for all other cases. Note that the KA65A processor will only work with MS65A memories. The manual VAX 6000: Installing MS65A Memories describes the installation of MS65A memories. NOTE: The H9657-CX kit, consisting of a power regulator module and a bus bar, is provided with KA65A processor modules when the customer is upgrading from a VAX Model 200, 300, or 400 system. You do not use the kit in all cases, however. The H9657-CX kit is only used for an upgrade from a VAX 6000 Model 200, 300, or 400 system with an XMI that does not supply +3.3V, and where the following conditions hold: · No battery backup is needed · No more than 4 processors are needed · No more than 12 XMI slots are needed Installing the KA65A Processor 5-1 5.1 Holding the KA65A Processor Handle the KA65A modules with care. The technology used on this module is more vulnerable to static than past technology. Also, these modules have 25 mil leads to the chips; these leads are very small, close together, and easily bent. Figure 5-1: Holding the KA65A Processor 5-2 VAX 6000: Installing Model 500 Processors The KA65A processor requires careful handling. Prepare yourself and the work area before handling these modules. Roll up your sleeves and remove any jewelry. Figure 5-1 shows the proper way to hold the module. Follow these handling procedures to avoid damaging the KA65A module: 1. Always wear an antistatic wrist strap. 2. Before removing the module from its ESD box, place the box on a clean, stable surface. Be sure the box will not slide or fall. Never place the box on the floor. And be sure no tools, papers, manuals, or anything else that might damage the module are near it. Some components on this module can be damaged by a 600-volt static charge. Paper, for example, can carry a charge of 1000 volts. 3. Hold the module only by the edges, as shown in Figure 5-1. Do not hold the module so that your fingers touch any 25 mil devices, leads, or XMI fingers. Be sure you do not bend the module as you are holding it. 4. Be sure nothing touches the module surface or any of its components. If anything touches the module, components or leads can be damaged. This includes the antistatic wrist strap, clothing jewelry, cables, components on other modules, and anything in the work area (such as tools, manuals, or loose papers.) Installing the KA65A Processor 5-3 5.2 Inserting the KA65A Processor Into an XMI Card Cage Lift the lever for the XMI slot where you wish to install the KA65A, insert the processor, and lower the lever. Figure 5-2: Inserting the KA65A Processor in an XMI Card Cage 5-4 VAX 6000: Installing Model 500 Processors You must take special precautions when inserting the KA65A module in or removing it from the XMI card cage. 1. Do not let the module touch other modules or cables when you are putting it in or taking it out of the XMI card cage. 2. When you swap out a module, temporarily place it in an unused XMI slot, if one is available, or put it in an ESD box or on an ESD mat before you install the new module. An unused XMI slot is the best place to leave a module that is being swapped out until it can be placed in the ESD box. CAUTION: If you temporarily leave a module in an unused XMI slot, be sure to remove the module before powering up the system. If you put the module on an ESD mat, make sure the mat is on a stable, uncluttered surface, with side 1 of the module facing up (the side with the heat sinks). Do not put it on the top of the system cabinet. And never slide the module across any surface. The leads on the components are fragile and can be damaged by contact with fingers or any surface. 3. Hold the XMI card cage handle while removing or inserting the module. If it is not held in place, the handle can spring down and damage the module. 4. When inserting the module in the card cage, grasp it as shown in Figure 5-2, being careful not to touch any 25 mil devices, and slide it slowly and gently into the slot. 5. Make sure that the module is seated firmly in the XMI slot and engaged with the XMI backplane. Then lower the lever to close the connector. 6. When all new modules have been installed and old modules repositioned (if necessary), note the new configuration, and replace the clear door in front of the XMI card cage. NOTE: If you are doing a full power and packaging upgrade (H9657-CU kit), the installation will entail changing DWMBA-A modules in the XMI card cage to DWMBB-A modules. Installing the KA65A Processor 5-5 Chapter 6 Verifying the System ------------------------------------------------------------ The steps in verifying the correct operation of the upgraded system are described in this chapter. Sections include: · Verification Overview · Power Up the System · Examine the Self-Test · Set System Parameters (Mandatory) · Run EVUCA to Apply Current ROM Patches (Mandatory) · Run the VAX Vector Instruction Exerciser (Optional) · Print System Parameters · Save EEPROM to TK Tape (Optional) · Verify System Under Operating System · Change System Number Plate If you want to run ROM-based diagnostics, see the diagnostics chapter of the VAX 6000 Model 500 Service Manual for more information. Verifying the System 6-1 6.1 Verification Overview To verify the new processors, turn the system on and let self-test run. Set system parameters. Apply current ROM patches with EVUCA. For systems with vector processors, run the VAX Vector Instruction Exerciser. Then save system parameters, boot the operating system, and run applicable tests. Figure 6-1: Verification Flowchart 6-2 VAX 6000: Installing Model 500 Processors To verify the upgraded system: ! Power up the system. Self-test runs and tests all modules. If your system has more than one Model 500 processor, the multiprocessor tests are automatically run in self-test. See Section 6.2 and Section 6.3. " Set the system serial number on all processors. (Error messages show that processor serial numbers have not been initialized.) See Section 6.4. Set system parameters. As part of the preparation for the upgrade, you issued a SHOW ALL console command (see Chapter 2). Using this listing, restore system-specific parameters such as boot specifications, console baud rate, memory interleave, and so forth. See Section 6.4. # Boot the VAX Diagnostic Supervisor and run the EVUCA program to apply current ROM patches. See Section 6.5. $ If the system has vector processors, run the VAX Vector Instruction Exerciser. See Section 6.6. Otherwise, proceed to %. % Record and save the new customized parameters. First make a hardcopy record for future maintenance with the SHOW FIELD and SHOW ALL commands. Then, if your system has a TK tape, use the SAVE EEPROM command. See Sections 6.7 and 6.8. & Verify the system under the operating system. See Section 6.9. Verifying the System 6-3 6.2 Power Up the System For the H9657-CX and H9657-CU upgrades, you now restore power to the system. For all upgrades, turn the upper key switch on the front panel to the Enable position. Figure 6-2: Return Power to the System 6-4 VAX 6000: Installing Model 500 Processors For system upgrades using the H9657-CX and H9657-CU kits, restore power to the system by: 1. Plugging in the system power cord. 2. Pushing the circuit breaker on the AC power controller to the On position. The AC power controller is at the bottom rear of the cabinet, as shown in Figure 6-2. For all upgrades, turn the upper key switch on the front control panel to the Enable position. The lower key switch should be set at Update position. The system should run self-test, as described in Section 6.3. Verifying the System 6-5 6.3 Examine the Self-Test At system power-up, self-test runs, checking all modules.

When you power up the system, self-test runs, showing the state of each module in the XMI card cage. (Entering the INITIALIZE command at the console prompt also generates self-test.) Example 6-1 shows a self-test of an upgrade from a VAX 6000 Model 510 to a Model 520. Another processor has been added. Example 6-2 shows an upgrade using the H9657-CX kit. NOTE: If you are replacing a single processor, or the boot processor of a multiprocessor system, and self-test does not display on power-up, the console baud rate and your terminal baud rate may not be set the same. Hit the ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ BREAK ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ key, which steps the terminal baud rate in the available increments, until you get the console prompt (>>>). Then type INIT to start self-test. ! Examine your self-test results. Self-test results differ for the H9657-CX upgrade at the TYP line where it shows XMI slots 1 and 2 as empty (see ! of Example 6-2. The T2019 module actually occupies slot 2, and its components (heat sinks) protrude into slot 1. " Check the STF line to see that all Model 500 processors and other modules passed self-test. # Check the ETF line to see that all CPUs passed the extended test. For Model 500 systems, the multiprocessor tests are run every time self-test runs. $ Check the XBI lines for self-test results for VAXBI modules. % The system serial number error message appears, indicating that the processors do not have the system serial number in their EEPROMs. If a KA65A processor module fails self-test, as shown by a minus (-) rather than a plus in the STF or ETF rows, the most likely problem is that the module is improperly seated in the XMI slot. Power the system down, reseat the failed module, and power the system up again. If the KA65A module still fails self-test, it should probably be replaced. You can further isolate the problem by looking at the KA65A LEDs. See Appendix B for a discussion of the KA65A LEDs. Verifying the System 6-7 6.4 Set System Parameters (Mandatory) You must set the system serial number on all new processors and enter the power indication on H9657-CX or -CU upgrades.

Verifying the System 6-21 Appendix A VAX 6000 Model 500 General Configuration Rules ------------------------------------------------------------ This appendix gives general configuration rules for the installation of VAX 6000 Model 500 modules. It does not include systems using the H9657-CX upgrade. See Chapter 4 for configuration rules when installing the H9657- CX kit. The sections in this appendix include: · General Configuration Rules · FV64A Vector Configuration Rules VAX 6000 Model 500 General Configuration Rules A-1 A.1 General Configuration Rules Figure A-1 gives the general XMI configuration rules for VAX 6000 Model 500 scalar systems. Figure A-1: Configuration Rules for Model 500 Scalar Systems A-2 VAX 6000: Installing Model 500 Processors Figure A-1 gives an overview of the general rules for installing modules in the XMI card cage. ! " An XMI processor or I/O module must be in either slot E or slot 1. See Figure A-1, at callouts ! and ". CAUTION: No memory modules should be placed in slot E or slot 1. # I/O adapters should be configured first, from left to right, in I/O slots E through A and then in slots 5 through 1. $ Processors should be configured next. For scalar-only systems, start with the rightmost available slot and continue right to left, installing each processor in the next available slot. See Section A.2 for rules on scalar/ vector systems. % Memories are installed last. For scalar systems, fill available slots from left to right, slots 9 through 2, and then right to left, slots A through D. VAX 6000 Model 500 General Configuration Rules A-3 A.2 FV64A Vector Configuration Rules A vector processor must be installed to the left of its companion scalar processor. An intermodule cable connects the two modules. A memory module or an empty slot must be to the left of the vector processor. Any other configuration may damage the vector module. Figure A-2: Scalar/Vector Configurations A-4 VAX 6000: Installing Model 500 Processors Table A-1 shows the maximum number of scalar and vector processors supported in a VAX 6000 Model 500 system. Table A-1: Processor Module Combinations ------------------------------------------------------------ Maximum Scalar Processors Maximum Vector Processors Configuration (Slot 1 at Right) ------------------------------------------------------------ 6 0 P P P P P P 4 1 M V P P P P 2 2 M V P M V P ------------------------------------------------------------ Figure A-2 shows system configurations for a VAX 6000 Model 500 system with one or two vector processors. The left side of the figure indicates the configuration for two scalar/vector pairs with a memory module in the slot to the left of the vector processor. The right side of the figure shows a single scalar/vector pair with additional scalar processors. As described in Section A.1, processor modules are configured after I/O adapters. (I/O adapters are installed, from left to right, in slots E to A and then 5 to 1.) Processors are configured from right to left, filling available slots starting with slot 1. Memories are configured last, from left to right, filling available slots from 9 to 2. However, in a system with a vector processor, the modules should be installed as shown in Figure A-2. These configurations must be followed to avoid damage to the modules and for performance reasons: · Because the FV64A module has VLSI components with heat sinks protruding from both sides, only a memory module, with its low components, can be placed next to side 2 of the FV64A module. · In a system with one scalar/vector pair and one or more additional scalar processors, the scalar processor of the pair should be prevented from being the boot processor for performance reasons. If the scalar/vector pair is to the left of other scalar processors, then the processor of the scalar/vector pair will not become the boot processor unless other processors fail self-test or have been disabled with the SET CPU console command. Alternatively, you can issue the SET CPU/NOPRIMARY command and give the node number of the attached scalar processor that you do not want to be the boot processor. VAX 6000 Model 500 General Configuration Rules A-5 Appendix B Description of KA65A LEDs ------------------------------------------------------------ This appendix tells what the KA65A processor module LEDs indicate. You can use this information to isolate a problem in a module that fails self-test. The sections include: · Overview of KA65A LEDs · Determining Failing Test from LEDs · KA65A Error LED Description of KA65A LEDs B-1 B.1 Overview of KA65A LEDs The KA65A LEDs indicate if self-test passed or failed, if the module is the boot processor or a secondary, and the failing test number. Figure B-1: KA65A LEDs After Power-Up Self-Test B-2 VAX 6000: Installing Model 500 Processors If self-test passes, the large yellow LED at the top of the LEDs is ON. (Here self-test means the on-board power-up tests, RBD 0, the CPU/memory interaction tests, RBD 1, and the multiprocessing tests, RBD 5.) The top two red LEDs (next to the yellow one) are also ON, and the next five red LEDs are OFF. The LED next to the Error LED is OFF if the processor is the boot processor, and ON if it is a secondary processor. If self-test fails, the yellow LED is OFF, and the top eight red LEDs contain an error code that corresponds to the number of the failing test. The test number is represented in binary-coded decimal, with the most significant bit at the top. A bit is ONE if the light is ON. For example, assume a processor fails self-test (yellow LED is OFF) and shows the following pattern in the top eight red LEDs: TOP (MSB) off 0 off 0 = 3 on 1 on 1 off 0 off 0 on 1 = 2 (LSB) off 0 BOTTOM The failing test number decodes to 0011 0010 (binary-coded decimal 32). If you then ran RBD 0 with the /TR and /HE qualifiers, the last test number you would see displayed is T0032. If either of the top two red LEDs is off, a failure has occurred during the self- test sequence. But system power-up self-test actually comprises four sets of tests: KA65A power-up tests (RBD 0), CPU/memory interaction tests (RBD 1), DWMBA or DWMBB tests (RBD 2), and multiprocessing tests (RBD 5). Interpretation of the red LEDs depends on which set of tests was running, as explained in Section B.2. Interpretation of the error LED is explained in Section B.3. Description of KA65A LEDs B-3 B.2 Determining Failing Test from LEDs When self-test fails, the red LEDs on the KA65A contain the failing test number. Check the state of other module LEDs to determine the failing RBD and device, as shown in Table B-1. Table B-1: KA65A Status LEDs ------------------------------------------------------------ KA65A LEDs ------------------------------------------------------------ Diagnostic and Self-Test Yellow Red Test Number Device Failing Line ------------------------------------------------------------ FV64A Yellow LED OFF ------------------------------------------------------------ OFF 1-45 Power-up self-test (RBD 0) T0001-T0045 KA65A STF ON 46-57 Power-up self-test (RBD 0) T0046-T0057 FV64A STF OFF 61-82 CPU/memory test - Memory 1 (RBD 1) T0001-T0022 KA65A, FV64A, or MS65A 1 (module with lowest XMI node number) ETF ON 79-82 CPU/memory test - Memory 1 (RBD 1) T0079-T0082 FV64A ETF OFF 83 CPU/memory test - Memory 2 T0003 (equivalent to ST1/T=3) MS65A 2 ETF OFF 84 CPU/memory test - Memory 3 MS65A 3 ETF OFF 85 CPU/memory test - Memory 4 MS65A 4 ETF OFF 86 CPU/memory test - Memory 5 MS65A 5 ETF OFF 87 CPU/memory test - Memory 6 MS65A 6 ETF OFF 88 CPU/memory test - Memory 7 MS65A 7 ETF OFF 89 CPU/memory test - Memory 8 MS65A 8 ETF B-4 VAX 6000: Installing Model 500 Processors Table B-1 (Cont.): KA65A Status LEDs ------------------------------------------------------------ KA65A LEDs ------------------------------------------------------------ Diagnostic and Self-Test Yellow Red Test Number Device Failing Line ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ FV64A Yellow LED ON ------------------------------------------------------------ OFF 91-97 Multiprocessor test (RBD 5) T0001-T0007 KA65A or FV64A ETF ------------------------------------------------------------ DWMBB/A Yellow LED OFF ------------------------------------------------------------ ON 1-48 DWMBB test (RBD 2) T0001-T0048 DWMBB XBI ------------------------------------------------------------ If a processor 's yellow LED is OFF and the red LEDs show an error code in the range 1-45, the power-up self-test failed and the processor board is bad. If the processor board has an attached vector processor and the error code is 46-57, the vector processor board is bad. On the self-test console display, the processor shows a minus sign (-) on the STF line. After the power-up tests, each processor runs the CPU/memory interaction tests and the multiprocessor tests. If a test fails, the processor shows a minus sign (-) on the ETF line of the self-test console display. The LED error codes are numbered from 61 to 82, which is the failing CPU/ memory test number (1 through 22) plus 60, or 91 to 97, which is the failing multiprocessor test number (1 through 7) plus 90. Each processor, after testing with the first memory, runs the CPU/memory interaction tests on every other good memory module. (However, only CPU/ memory interaction test T0003 is run.) If a failure occurs, the memory module is probably bad, although the processor 's yellow light is OFF and the memory module's yellow light is ON. If several processors fail on the same memory, that memory module is certainly bad. Try using SET MEMORY to configure the bad module out of the interleave set. For error codes 83 through 89, consult Table B-1 to determine the failing memory. The last series is the DWMBB tests. If one fails, the red LEDs contain an error code, although the processor 's yellow self-test LED is ON (because the CPU itself has passed). Note that only the boot processor performs the DWMBB tests. Description of KA65A LEDs B-5 B.3 KA65A Error LED The KA65A error LED (bottom red LED) is an error summary or indicates the state of backup cache. Table B-2: KA65A Error LED ------------------------------------------------------------ XCR0<14> XCR0<13> Error LED ON ------------------------------------------------------------ 0 0 Error summary (power-up state) 0 1 Backup cache is off 1 0 Error summary or backup cache is off 1 1 Off--Error LED does not light ------------------------------------------------------------ Example B-1: Examining the XCR0 and XBER Registers >>> E/P/L E1880024 ! Examine the XCR0 register of the KA65A E1880024 00000200 ! processor in slot 1. The result shows ! bits 14 and 13 are clear. >>> E/P/L E1880004 ! Then examine the XBER register of the E1880004 8000A300 ! same processor. The result shows bit ! 31 is set. B-6 VAX 6000: Installing Model 500 Processors The state of the error LED depends on bits in two registers. At power-up it reflects the state of XBER bit 31, the Error Summary bit. (The error LED is ON if the Error Summary bit is set.) At times other than power-up, the meaning of the error LED is determined by the state of XCR0 bits 14 and 13. See Table B-2 and Example B-1. In Example B-1 the error LED on the KA65A processor in slot 1 is lit. The reason for this is determined by examining the XCR0 and XBER registers. The addresses for these registers are calculated by adding an offset to the base address of the slot that contains the KA65A module. The offset for XCR0 is 24; for XBER it is 4. (All numbers are hexadecimal.)
