Hardware redundancy and failover techniques ensure uninterrupted operation in the event of a single point of failure anywhere in the system. Modular components simplify repair and maintenance procedures, reducing the time required to bring components back into service. The VAXft system: · Operates as a stand-alone system or as the boot or satellite node for a local area VAXcluster configuration. · Has expansion capabilities in the areas of main memory, input/output (I/O) devices, synchronous communications adapters, and disk storage. This chapter introduces the VAXft system and includes: · Fault-tolerant operation · System offerings · Model 110 system descriptions · Model 310 and 410 system descriptions · Model 610 and 612 system descriptions · System architecture 1-1 1-2 VAXft System 1.1 Fault-Tolerant Operation The VAXft system achieves fault tolerance through a combination of redundancy and failover techniques. All critical functions of the VAXft hardware are duplicated. The VAXft system has two zones. Each of the zones contains the hardware required to execute an application. The two zones are identical in configuration, except in cases where the customer chooses not to have hardware redundancy. The zones are physically and logically connected, and simultaneously process the same instructions. When both zones operate in this synchronous manner, they perform as a single, fault- tolerant system. If a single hardware fault occurs in a component in either zone, the problem is communicated to the other zone. Once the fault is ``known'' within the system, the system takes action to isolate the faulty component. This action can be: · Disabling an I/O path · Removing an element from service (for example, a memory module) · Removing an entire zone from service Despite the nature of the failure and recovery action, the system is able to remain in full operation. A simplified representation of the two zones is shown in Figure 1-1. VAXft System 1-3 Figure 1-1 Model 110 Zones/Modules 1-4 VAXft System 1.2 System Offerings The VAXft systems vary in processing power and storage capability. The configurations include: · Model 110 system · Model 310 and 410 base systems · Model 310 and 410 systems with expansion · Model 610 and 612 base systems · Model 610 and 612 systems with expansion The VAXft model 110, 310 and 410 systems are configured as pedestal or rackmount systems. NOTE The system cabinet is the pedestal package. Each pedestal is 68.6 cm (27.0 in) high by 53.3 cm (21.0 in) wide. The VAXft 110 system has two zones enclosed in one cabinet, which is similar to a BA213 cabinet. A model 310 or 410 base system has two system cabinets. Each system cabinet includes power supplies, cooling, logic modules, and two storage slots. Thus, a model 310 or 410 base system has four storage slots. One of the four storage slots may house a TF70 tape drive. The tape drive can be used for loading software. It can also be used as a backup device. The other three storage slots can be used for disks, or if desired, each zone can house one disk and one tape. RF-series disks are used. A model 310 and 410 system with expansion has two system cabinets and two expander cabinets. Each system cabinet is connected to both expander cabinets. An expander cabinet has seven storage slots, six of which can be used. One expander cabinet may house a TF70 tape drive in one of the storage slots. Each expander cabinet can house up to six fixed disk drives or five fixed disk drives and a removable tape drive or a removable disk drive. VAXft System 1-5 The VAXft model 610 and 612 systems are 152.4 cm (60.0 in) cabinets. Each cabinet contains two zones (upper and lower). A model 610 base system has one cabinet. Each zone enclosure houses power supplies, cooling, logic modules, and four storage slots. A base cabinet has two additional storage slots. One of the six storage slots may house a TF- series tape drive. Customers needing more storage space can order a model 610 system with one or two expander cabinets. Each expander cabinet contains power supplies, cooling, and more storage slots. Also available to customers are the model 612 base system and systems with expansion. A model 612 base system has two system cabinets and one expander cabinet. A model 612 system with expansion has two system cabinets and two expander cabinets. These configurations allow more processing power and storage space than the model 610 system configurations. 1.3 Model 110 System Description This section describes the model 110 base system. 1.3.1 Model 110 Base System Figure 1-2 shows the front view of a base system with VT-series video terminals as the local console terminals. Terminals used in console applications may be hard copy, video, or video with printer. A variety of video terminals and printer stands are available. The model 110 is similar to the model 310 system, but is housed in one cabinet. It has less expandability in terms of memory, disk capacity, and available module options. The VAXft model 110 system is available as a pedestal (Figure 1-3) or rackmount (Figure 1-4) system. The rackmount system is the pedestal system without the plastic cover and casters. It can be installed in a standard 19-inch RETMA 1 rack cabinet. ------------------------------------------------------------ 1 RETMA rack cabinets are used by Digital and other major manufacturers of electronic equipment. The cabinet rails, mounting hole patterns, and spacing conform to international standards that allow compatibility with products manufactured by Digital and other major manufacturers. 1-6 VAXft System Figure 1-2 Model 110 Base System VAXft System 1-7 Figure 1-3 Model 110 Pedestal System 1-8 VAXft System Figure 1-4 Model 110 Rackmount System VAXft System 1-9 The media storage used in the model 110 can include the following storage devices: · TK70 tape drive · RF-series disk drives The media storage in zone A can have up to two RF72 or three RF31 disk drives. The media storage in zone B can have one TK70 tape drive and either one RF72 or two RF31 disk drives. If a tape drive is not necessary in zone B, then zone B can have two RF72 or three RF31 disk drives. For memory shadowing, each zone must have the same number of storage devices. The maximum is three storage devices in each zone. The TK70 tape drive can serve as a system software load device as well as a backup device. The RF-series disk drives can be used as data backup, software load, or bootstrap devices. Each zone contains a logic backplane with five slots. The following three modules are the minimum required in each backplane for system operation: · One MS520 memory module · One KA510 processor module · One KFE52 system I/O controller module Each module has a dedicated slot in the backplane. The MS520 memory module provides 32 MB of main memory with error correction code (ECC). The KA510 processor module executes the VAX native instruction set. Each processor module operates with a pair of synchronized processors. The processor modules in each zone are connected through a pair of cross-link cables that provide interprocessor communications. The KFE52 system I/O controller module supports: · An expandable DSSI bus for the system storage devices · Two serial ports for the local and remote console terminals · An Ethernet interface for either a ThinWire or traditional (thickwire) network interconnect (NI) link 1-10 VAXft System Each backplane has two additional slots that may contain up to two additional MS520 memory modules, up to two wide area network (WAN) communications adapters, or an additional KFE52 system I/O controller module. The WAN communications adapter provides two synchronous communications lines. These lines can be connected redundantly between two zones using external cabling and circuitry. Figure 1-5 shows the correct placement of the logic modules in the backplane of a zone. Table 1-1 describes the logic modules. The number of memory modules must be the same in both zones.

Terminals used in console applications may be hard copy, video, or video with printer. A variety of video terminal and printer stands are available. The model 310 and 410 are identical except for the processor module. The model 310 system's KA520 processor module has 3.8 VUPs of processing power. The model 410 system's KA550 processor module offers 6.0 VUPs of processing power. 1-12 VAXft System Figure 1-6 Model 310 and 410 Base System VAXft System 1-13 Figure 1-7 shows the layout of the modular components in the base system cabinets. It also shows the DSSI node ID numbers for the drives. In a base system, both system cabinets contain a cannister disk drive in the right slot as the system operating media. The drive is housed in a removable cannister. All cannister drives are removable and are shock mounted for portability. Cannister disk drives may be removed and stored for backup purposes. Appendix C describes how to remove and replace a cannister drive. Figure 1-7 Layout of Model 310 and 410 Base System 1-14 VAXft System The power system for each cabinet consists of two packages: ac power input box and dc power supply. The ac power input box converts its input to unregulated dc. The dc power supply supplies regulated dc power to the logic modules and storage elements in the system cabinet. A battery backup unit, which is comprised of batteries, can supply the system cabinet with dc power for at least 30 minutes on a full charge. Further information on the power modules can be found in Chapter 2. Each system cabinet contains a logic backplane with seven slots. The following three modules are the minimum required in each backplane for system operation: · One MS520 memory module · One KA520 (model 310) or KA550 (model 410) processor module · One KFE52 system I/O controller module Each of the above modules has a dedicated slot in the backplane. The MS520 memory module provides 32 MB or 64 MB of main memory with error correction code (ECC). The KA520 or KA550 processor module executes the VAX native instruction set and incorporates an integral cache memory and floating- point accelerator. Each processor module operates with a pair of synchronized processors. The processor modules in each zone are connected through a pair of cross-link cables that provide interprocessor communications. The KFE52 system I/O controller module supports: · An expandable Digital small storage interconnect (DSSI) bus for the system storage devices · Two serial ports for the local and remote console terminals · An Ethernet interface for a ThinWire or traditional (thickwire) network interconnect (NI) link Each backplane has four additional slots that in a base system may contain up to three additional MS520 memory modules, up to four wide area network (WAN) communications adapters, or an additional KFE52 system I/O controller module for connection to a second Ethernet or to support storage expansion. VAXft System 1-15 The WAN communications adapter provides two synchronous communications lines. These lines can be connected redundantly between two zones using external cabling and circuitry. Figure 1-8 shows correct placement of the logic modules in the system backplane. Table 1-2 describes the logic modules. The number of memory modules must be the same in both system cabinets.

The module handles also maintain ground continuity to meet FCC and FTZ regulations and provide electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection. VAXft System 1-17 1.4.2 Model 310 and 410 System with Expansion Figure 1-9 shows the front view of a system with expansion. The system cabinets are placed in the center with the expander cabinets on each end. Figure 1-10 shows the layout of the modular components in the expander cabinets. It also shows the DSSI node ID numbers for the drives. Figure 1-9 Model 310 and 410 System with Expansion 1-18 VAXft System Figure 1-10 Layout of Model 310 and 410 System with Expansion CAUTION To prevent a system fault, you must set the expander cabinet circuit breaker to OFF (down) whenever all the expander cabinet disks are powered off. VAXft System 1-19 A system with expansion offers increased storage over a base system. The system cabinets are interconnected just as in a base system. The connections between the system cabinets and expander cabinets are made using cables between the system I/O controller modules in the system cabinets and the DSSI bus in the expander cabinets. In a system with expansion, all drives must be mounted in the expander cabinets. The system cabinet in a system with expansion contains no disks or tapes. One to six storage devices can be housed in the expander cabinet. One expander cabinet may contain a cannister tape drive in the cannister slot as a software installation and backup device. The other expander cabinet may contain a: · Removable cannister tape drive in the cannister slot · Removable cannister disk drive in the cannister slot · Nonremovable carrier disk drive in the top left carrier slot All cannister drives are removable and shock mounted for portability. Cannister disk drives may be removed and stored for backup purposes. An unused cannister slot requires a TM002 blank cannister module (PN 70-27929-01) to maintain cooling airflow inside the cabinet. Unused carrier slots require a TM003 blank carrier module (PN 70-27928-01). Appendix C describes how to remove and replace a cannister or carrier drive. The ac power input box and dc power supply in an expander cabinet perform the same functions as in the system cabinets. The system cabinets of a system with expansion must have four modules: · One MS520 memory module · One KA520 or KA550 processor module · Two KFE52 system I/O controller modules The placement of these modules in the system cabinets is shown in Figure 1-8 and described in Table 1-2. 1-20 VAXft System 1.5 Model 610 and 612 System Descriptions This section describes the model 610 and 612 base systems and systems with expansion. 1.5.1 Model 610 Base System Figure 1-11 shows the front view of a model 610 base system with video terminals.

During normal operation, both zones operate in lockstep. While operating in lockstep, there is no single point of hardware failure. An error in one zone will not disable the VAXft system. When a solid hardware failure occurs, the zone with the failing component is brought off-line for repair. When the repair is completed, the zone is powered on and the VAXft system automatically resynchronizes with the operating zone, restoring redundancy. This process is transparent to applications running on the VAXft system. Figure 1-21 VAXft System Architecture 2 System Components ------------------------------------------------------------ This chapter describes the system components and storage devices housed in the VAXft cabinets. This chapter includes: · TK70 fixed tape drive · TF70 cannister tape drive · TF857 tape subsystem · RF-series fixed disk drive · RF-series cannister disk drive · RF-series carrier disk drive · Power modules · Logic modules and connectors · Cabinet cooling system CAUTION Installation and maintenance procedures may be performed only by qualified personnel.

For further information on drive DSSI parameters and the DUP facility, refer to the BOOT command syntax (Section 4.4), BOOT command description (Section 5.2), and to the RBD command description (Section 6.8). A magnetic fault indicator (MFI) is located on the cannister. This indicator shows yellow when a failure is detected in the tape drive. A fault may be detected at power-on or during operation. Upon successful completion of the power-on diagnostics, the indicator is blank (not yellow). 2-12 System Components 2.6 RF-Series Carrier Disk Drive Figure 2-6 shows a front view of the RF-series carrier disk drive. The Winchester disk drive unit is mounted with its associated controller inside a fixed carrier module. The two switches and magnetic fault indicator on the RF-series carrier disk drive have the same functions as on the RF-series cannister disk drive. Removal and replacement procedures for the carrier drives are covered in Appendix C. RF-series carrier disk drives are used as the system operating media in the expander cabinets. The drives should not be removed, except by qualified maintenance personnel. Figure 2-6 RF-Series Carrier Disk Drive System Components 2-13 2.7 Power Modules Figure 2-7 shows a front view of the power modules located in the model 110 cabinet. Figure 2-8 shows a front view of the power modules located in each model 310 and 410 cabinet. Figure 2-9 shows a front view of the power modules located in each model 610 and 612 cabinet. The VAXft power system consists of the following modules: · AC power supply (model 110 only) · AC power input box · DC power supply · Battery pack · AC distribution box (model 610 and 612 only) The H7868 ac power supply provides unregulated direct voltage to the internal power bus. The ac power input box accepts 115 Vac (nominal) or 230 Vac (nominal) at 47 to 63 Hz from the cabinet line cord. The H407-A ac power input box provides an unregulated direct voltage of 48 Vdc to the internal power bus. The ac power input box accepts 115 Vac (nominal) or 230 Vac (nominal) at 47 to 63 Hz from the cabinet line cord. An input voltage selector switch located on the ac power transformer selects one of the voltage ranges. The VAXft Systems Site Preparation and Installation Guide (EK-VXFT1-IN) provides the procedures needed to check or change the switch position. The power breaker switch for the cabinet is located on the front of the ac power input box. The magnetic fault indicator (MFI) on the front of the box shows yellow when a fault is detected. One of the following faults is most likely: · Main bulk regulator · Battery switch circuit · Charger circuit 2-14 System Components Figure 2-7 Model 110 Power Modules System Components 2-15 Figure 2-8 Model 310 and 410 Power Modules 2-16 System Components Figure 2-9 Model 610 and 612 Power Modules System Components 2-17 The H7233 dc power supply converts the 48 Vdc unregulated power to regulated voltages used within the VAXft cabinets. Table 2-1 lists the dc voltages required by the VAXft components. The H7233-AA dc power supply is used in the system cabinet. The H7233-AB dc power supply is used in the expander cabinet. The system dc power supply regulates the voltages required for the system logic, storage, and cooling elements. The dc power supply has a magnetic fault indicator (MFI) on the front of the box. The magnetic fault indicator shows yellow when a fault is detected. One of the following faults is most likely: · PCIM logic · Logic regulator · Disk regulator · Cooling fan Within the dc power supply is a power and cooling intelligence module (PCIM). It monitors the power system and cooling system inside the cabinet and communicates with the operating system. When a power or cooling problem occurs, the operating system is informed, so it can take appropriate action. Each of the VAXft cabinets has a battery pack that typically provides about ½ hour of power to the cabinet during ac power outages. Thus, during a power outage, the VAXft system can be shut down after completion of all outstanding transactions and processes. The PCIM also tracks the operation of the battery and notifies the operating system when the battery is: · Active due to ac power outage · Charging The dc power supplies used in the VAXft system contain a right and a left regulator that supply two separate sections of the cabinet. Table 2-1 lists the dc power available to the internal system cabinet components from the H7233-AA dc power supply. One regulator supplies the logic power. The other regulator supplies power to the disk drives and fans. In the expander cabinets, each of the two regulators in the H7233-AB dc power supply provides power to the disk drives and fans. 2-18 System Components Table 2-1 VAXft System DC Power Characteristics ------------------------------------------------------------ DC Voltage Regulation Maximum Current ------------------------------------------------------------ Logic power: +5 V +4.95 to +5.25 Vdc 40.0 A +12 V +11.64 to +12.36 Vdc 2.0 A -10 V -9.5 to -10.5 Vdc 1.5 A Disk power: +12 V +11.6 to +12.6 Vdc 15.0 A +5 V +4.95 to +5.25 Vdc 10.0 A Fan power: +26 V +24.0 to +28.0 Vdc 3.0 A ------------------------------------------------------------ 2.8 Logic Modules and Connectors Figure 2-10 shows a typical module complement in a five-slot backplane (model 110). Figure 2-11 shows a typical module complement in a seven- slot backplane. Figure 2-10 and Figure 2-11 also identify: · Cable connectors on the module handles · Console terminal connectors on the chassis under the backplane · Magnetic fault indicators (MFIs) · LED indicators CAUTION Excessive shock or incorrect handling can damage the logic modules.

Figure 2-13 shows the airflow pattern for each of the cabinets in the model 310 and 410 system. Figure 2-14 shows the airflow pattern for each of the cabinets in the model 610 and 612 system. The cabinets are continuously cooled by two variable-speed dc fans, one in the left side and one in the right side of each cabinet (Figure 2-8). The speed of the fans is based on the ambient temperature of the cabinet as determined by thermal sensors. The thermal sensor output is issued to the PCIMs, which control the speed of the fans. When the magnetic fault indicator on the cooling fan panel shows yellow, one of the following conditions is likely: · Cooling fan is stopped. · Cooling fan is running at less than 20% of the speed of the fan located in the dc power supply. The fans direct the airflow in the cabinet. The system must rest on a firm surface to maintain cooling airflow. 2-22 System Components Figure 2-12 Model 110 Cabinet Airflow Pattern System Components 2-23 Figure 2-13 Model 310 and 410 Cabinet Airflow Pattern 2-24 System Components Figure 2-14 Model 610 and 612 Cabinet Airflow Pattern 3 Controls and Indicators ------------------------------------------------------------ This chapter explains the use of the controls and indicators on the cabinet summary panels.

It also provides information on booting the system. This chapter includes: · Console description · Console operating modes · Console control characters · Console command language syntax · Bootstrap procedures · BOOT command syntax · Boot devices and module expansion NOTE The focus of this chapter is model 310, 410, 610, and 612 systems. If you own a model 110 system, keep in mind the following: · An expanded system is always a model 310, 410, 610, or 612 system. · A dual cabinet system is always a model 310, 410, 610, or 612 system. In a model 110 system, the two zones are housed in a single cabinet. · The Local Console Disable switch is present on model 310, 410, 610, and 612 systems. In a model 110 system, the consoles are always enabled. 4-1 4-2 Console Operations 4.1 Console Description The VAXft system supports a local console terminal in each zone as shown in Figure 4-1. Console firmware (console programs located in ROM) resides on the primary system I/O controller module and on the processor module in each system cabinet. Figure 4-1 VAXft Console Architecture Console Operations 4-3 An optional remote console terminal may be connected to each zone. The remote console terminal and the local console terminal are connected to the zone through the primary system I/O controller module. The primary system I/O controller module is located in slot 2 of the module card cage in model 310, 410, 610, and 612 systems. The primary system I/O controller module is located in slot 1 in each zone of the model 110 system. Table 4-1 describes the function of each component of the VAXft console. Table 4-1 VAXft Console Parts ------------------------------------------------------------ Part Function ------------------------------------------------------------ Local console terminal Terminal located with the system that is used for console input and display output. Remote console port One remote port is available in each zone. The port may be connected to a remote console terminal through a modem. The remote console port provides the same functions as the local console port. If connected through a modem, the remote port may serve as a dial-in port for the user or as a dial-out port for the autonotification process. Console firmware The VAXft console firmware resides on the primary system I/O controller module and on the processor module. ------------------------------------------------------------ It is best to use only one of the four possible console terminals for input commands at any given time. All of the console terminals echo the response of the system to a console command. When the VAXft system is operating with only a single zone, the local or remote console terminals connected to the operational zone are used as the input devices. 4-4 Console Operations 4.2 Console Operating Modes Console operators communicate with the system in one of the three input/output (I/O) operating modes shown in Figure 4-2. Figure 4-2 Console Operating Modes Console Operations 4-5 The three console operating modes are: · Program I/O mode (PIO mode) · Console I/O mode (CIO mode) · Module I/O mode (MIO mode) Normal operation takes place in the PIO mode. The CIO and MIO modes are used by system managers to control the system and to set the operating parameters. PIO mode allows the operator to use the console terminal. Specifically, in PIO mode the operator can use the VAXft console terminal to log in, use the mail facility, create and edit files, and do other types of work typically done from a user terminal. PIO mode can be entered from either of the two other console operating modes. To transition the console into PIO mode, use one of these console commands: SET TERMINAL PROGRAM or PIO. CIO mode allows the operator to execute the VAXft console commands. These commands are a subset of the VAX-11 console command language and include the VAXft specific commands. The CIO commands are described in Chapter 5 of this manual. To transition from PIO mode to CIO mode, be sure the Local Console Disable switch on the summary panel is released (button out). Then press the ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Break ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ key on the console terminal once. Be sure you press the ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Break ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ key once only. By pressing the key more than once, you will enable baud-rate cycling (Section 5.11.2, SET PORT). MIO mode is used to set or change console parameters involving the primary system I/O controller module. The only way to enter MIO mode is by using the MIO command from CIO mode. While in MIO mode, the VAXft operating system may be running or halted. A complete listing of the MIO commands is provided in Chapter 6 of this manual. The CIO or PIO mode can then be entered from MIO mode using the CIO or PIO command. 4-6 Console Operations 4.3 Console Control Characters The ASCII control characters and function keys listed in Table 4-2 have special meanings when typed on a console terminal running in CIO or MIO mode. Table 4-2 Console Control Characters and Function Keys ------------------------------------------------------------ Character/Key Function ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Break ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Causes the console to exit PIO mode and enter CIO mode. First, be sure the Local Console Disable switch on the summary panel is released (button out). Then press the ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Break ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ key on the console terminal. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Ctrl/C ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Echoes ^C and causes the console to abort processing of a command. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Ctrl/O ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Alternately enables and disables console output to the terminal. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Ctrl/R ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Echoes ^R and retypes the command line. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Ctrl/S ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Stops console transmission to the terminal until ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Ctrl/Q ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ is typed. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Ctrl/Q ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Resumes console output previously suspended by ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Ctrl/S ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ . ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Ctrl/U ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Echoes ^U and erases the command line. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Esc ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ or ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Ctrl/[ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Disables the meaning of the next character you type.

Boots from one of ten stored boot ! commands with symbolic names. (See ! Section 5.11.1, SET BOOT.) 4. >>> BOOT ! Boots from the default boot specifier. ! (See Section 5.11.1, SET BOOT.) NOTE The BOOT name command can be used only after the operator has established a boot name using the SET BOOT name command. Console Operations 4-13 4.7 Boot Devices and Module Expansion For a complete description of the commands to determine the configuration of the disks in the system, see Section 6.8, RBD. The device specifier shown in Figure 4-4 takes the form ddan where: · dd specifies the device type MI is a TF-series tape drive DI is an RF-series disk drive EP is an Ethernet port · a specifies the zone and slot of the primary or secondary system I/O controller module. Figure 4-5 shows this for the model 110 system. Figure 4-6 shows this for the model 310, 410, 610, and 612 systems. Figure 4-6 also lists the correct module expansion sequence. · n specifies the decimal unit number of the boot device. If FORCEUNI is set to 1 on a particular system drive, n specifies the DSSI node ID number selected by the backplane. If the FORCEUNI parameter is set to 0 in all system drives, the device specifier ddan must specify the device unit number stored in the drive. The RBD command description in Chapter 6 provides information on setting the drive parameters. You may specify as many as four paths to one or more of the same type of device (see variation 2). The boot procedure then tries one or more of the specified boot paths. Remember, the specifiers must be separated by commas. Chapter 5 provides more information on the BOOT command. Section 5.2 provides the BOOT command parameters and VMB program flags. Section 5.11.1 explains how to store up to ten boot commands with symbolic names. 4-14 Console Operations Figure 4-5 Primary System I/O Controller Module Zone/Slot Specifiers for Model 110 System Console Operations 4-15 Figure 4-6 Primary System I/O Controller Module Zone/Slot Specifiers and Module Expansion Sequence for Model 310, 410, 610, and 612 Systems 5 CIO Mode Console Commands ------------------------------------------------------------ This chapter describes the console commands available when the console is in the console I/O (CIO) mode. To recognize and process most CIO commands, the operating software must be halted and the processor must be running the console firmware. Certain CIO commands may be executed when the operating software is not halted. These commands are: MIO, PIO, SET PORT, SET TERMINAL, and SHOW PORT. This chapter includes: · Entering CIO mode · CIO mode console commands: Boot Continue Deposit Examine Halt Initialize Mio NEW CPU Pio Repeat SEt Boot SEt Port SEt Terminal Program SEt Zone SHow Boot SHow COnfiguration SHow CPu SHow Ethernet SHow Port Start Test Z NOTE The shortest possible command abbreviations are shown in bold capital letters. 5-1 5-2 CIO Mode Console Commands NOTE The focus of this chapter is model 310, 410, 610, and 612 systems. If you own a model 110 system, keep in mind the following: · An expanded system is always a model 310, 410, 610, or 612 system. · A dual cabinet system is always a model 310, 410, 610, or 612 system. In a model 110 system, the two zones are housed in a single cabinet. · The Local Console Disable switch is present on model 310, 410, 610, and 612 systems. In a model 110 system, the consoles are always enabled. 5.1 Entering CIO Mode Using the example as a guide, follow the numbered steps to enter CIO mode. A remote operator can use CIO mode only when full access privileges for the remote console have been set at the local console. Example $ ! From PIO mode, release the Local Console $ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Break ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ! Disable switch (button out). Press the >>> HALT ! ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Break ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ key. Halt the processor. Be sure ?002 External halt ! you press the ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Break ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ key once only. PC = 01E01473 ! >>> ! Begin your console session in CIO mode. . . . >>> CONTINUE ! After completing your console session, >>> PIO ! you may continue, start, or boot the $ ! system. If you continue, entering the ! PIO command returns you to PIO mode and ! issues the DCL $ prompt. Comments are allowed on a command line. Comments, or characters following an exclamation point (!), are ignored by the console when the ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Return ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ key is pressed. This feature is useful when you document a console session on a hard-copy terminal. The terminal mode change commands are listed in Table 5-6. CIO Mode Console Commands 5-3 To enter and use CIO mode: 1. Your console terminal is connected to a system cabinet. While still in PIO mode, check the summary panel on that system cabinet. Make sure the Local Console Disable switch on the summary panel is released (button out, LED not lit). 2. Press the ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Break ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ key to leave PIO mode. When the console enters CIO mode it returns the >>> prompt. 3. Enter the HALT command before using the CIO mode commands. If you do not halt the processor, the console returns an error message. 4. To return to PIO mode, enter one of these commands: SET TERMINAL PROGRAM or PIO. Chapter 4 provides more information on use of the various console operating modes. Some commands controlling the terminal ports on the primary system I/O controller module (SET PORT and SET TERMINAL PROGRAM) are recognized in CIO and MIO modes. MIO commands may be used with the processor running or halted and are described in Chapter 6. 5-4 CIO Mode Console Commands 5.2 BOOT The BOOT command initializes the system and then loads and starts the virtual memory bootstrap (VMB) program from ROM. The VMB program, in turn, loads and starts the VMS operating system. CAUTION You cannot boot the system from the remote console. The KFE52 I/O module is reset when the system boots, and this reset disconnects the modem. Examples 1. >>> BOOT MIA5 ! Zone A boots from TF70 tape drive ! unit 5 through the primary system ! I/O controller module. 2. >>> BOOT DIA0 ! Zone B boots from RF-series disk drive ! unit 0 through the primary system ! I/O controller module. 3. >>> BOOT TAPE ! Boots from the stored boot command ! called TAPE that was created by the ! SET BOOT command. 4. >>> BOOT ! Boots from the stored boot command ! called DEFAULT that was created by ! the SET BOOT command. 5. >>> BOOT DIA0, DIG0, DIB6, DIF6 ! Boots from the first RF-series disk ! drive found in zone A or B. 6. >>> BOOT EPA0, EPF0 ! Boots from the first responding ! Ethernet device requested by ! zone A or zone B. The BOOT command syntax is: B[OOT] [/qualifier] [device list] [/qualifier] or B[OOT] [name] CIO Mode Console Commands 5-5 Specification of the boot device is optional. The boot device is used to identify the path(s) to the boot device(s). Specify as many as four paths to one or more of the same type of device. Commas are used to separate these device specifiers. The boot device takes the form ddan where: dd specifies the device type, which could be one of the following: MI is a TF-series tape drive DI is an RF-series disk drive EP is an Ethernet port The usage of a and n depends on the system DSSI configuration and storage device settings. Sections 4.6 and 4.7 explain the boot device specifier usage when the FORCEUNI value is 1 in all storage devices. Section 6.8 explains the boot device specifier usage when the FORCEUNI value is 0 in all storage devices. The qualifier field is optional and may be used before or after the boot device(s). Table 5-1 describes the /R5:n qualifier and Table 5-2 lists the VMB program control flag values for n. The switch R5 is used to pass boot parameters to the VMB program. If the BOOT command is used without arguments, the stored boot command is used. Section 5.11.1 explains how to name and store boot commands with preset values. The name specifier is used by itself to invoke a stored boot command. It must be a 1- to 4-character symbolic name. 5-6 CIO Mode Console Commands Table 5-1 BOOT Command Qualifier ------------------------------------------------------------ Qualifier Function ------------------------------------------------------------ /R5:n Register 5 parameter, where n is the hex value of a binary bit mask that selects one of the VMB program bootstrap options listed in Table 5-2. If /R5:n is omitted, the default value is 0. ------------------------------------------------------------ Table 5-2 VMB Program Control Flags for /R5:n ------------------------------------------------------------ Bit Position Hex Value (n) Flag Name/Function When Bit is Set ------------------------------------------------------------ <0> 1 Conversational Boot -- Returns the SYSBOOT> prompt. From this prompt, the console operator may enter SYSGEN parameters. <1> 2 Debug -- The operating system maps the XDELTA debugger into its system page tables. <2> 4 Initial Breakpoint -- The operating system executes a breakpoint (BPT) instruction after turning on memory management. <5> 20 Bootstrap Breakpoint -- The VMB and secondary bootstrap programs execute BPT instructions to transfer control to the XDELTA program. <8> 100 Solicit File Name -- The VMB bootstrap program prompts the console terminal for the secondary bootstrap procedure. <31:28> (0-F)000000 Specify the top-level directory number for a system disk with multiple system roots. ------------------------------------------------------------ CIO Mode Console Commands 5-7 5.3 CONTINUE The CONTINUE command resumes execution from the point where the system halted. Example >>> CONTINUE ! Resumes execution of the system. The CONTINUE command syntax is: C[ONTINUE] When the CONTINUE command is issued, the console reloads the context saved by the HALT process (PC, PSL, GPRs, and memory management). The processor resumes program execution at the address held by the PC. The console terminal remains in CIO mode. 5-8 CIO Mode Console Commands 5.4 DEPOSIT and EXAMINE The DEPOSIT command stores the specified data in the specified address. The EXAMINE command displays the data stored in the specified address. Examples 1. >>> D /L /P 27 0 ! Deposits a longword value of 0 in CTB0: D /L /P 27 0 ! physical address 27. 2. >>> E /L /P 27 ! Displays the longword value stored CTB0: E /L /P 27 ! in physical address 27. P 00000027 00000000 The DEPOSIT command syntax is: D[EPOSIT] [/qualifier] address data [/qualifier] The EXAMINE command syntax is: E[XAMINE] [/qualifier] address [/qualifier] A qualifier may be placed before or after the address and data specifier. Tables 5-3 and 5-4 describe qualifiers used with the DEPOSIT and EXAMINE commands. The address specifier identifies either the physical or virtual hex memory address for a DEPOSIT or EXAMINE. The data specifier identifies the hex data to be stored by a DEPOSIT. When the system is initialized, or when any transition from a running to a halted state occurs, the default physical address space (0) and data size (longword) are used. CIO Mode Console Commands 5-9 Table 5-3 DEPOSIT and EXAMINE Command Data Size Qualifiers ------------------------------------------------------------ Qualifier Function ------------------------------------------------------------ /B Sets the data size to byte. /W Sets the data size to word. /L Sets the data size to longword. ------------------------------------------------------------ Table 5-4 DEPOSIT and EXAMINE Command Address Space Qualifiers ------------------------------------------------------------ Qualifier Function ------------------------------------------------------------ /P Sets physical address space. /V Sets virtual address space. An EXAMINE to virtual memory returns the translated physical address. A DEPOSIT to virtual memory sets the PTE bit. /I Sets internal processor register (IPR) address space accessed by the MTPR and MFPR instructions. /G Sets general register address space R0 through PC. /N:count Sets the range of addresses to be accessed. The console begins at the specified address and then accesses the number of ascending addresses specified by count, even if the symbolic address - (minus) is used. The console continually accesses the range of addresses until ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Ctrl/C ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ is typed. (See the REPEAT command description.) ------------------------------------------------------------ 5-10 CIO Mode Console Commands The address specifier may be a 1- to 8-character hex address or may specify one of the following symbolic addresses: · PSL -- processor status longword. The address space qualifier is not allowed when PSL is used as the symbolic address. · PC -- program counter. · SP -- stack pointer. · FP -- frame pointer. · AP -- argument pointer. · Rn -- general register number n in decimal notation. Valid only for R0 through R11 with the KA510 abd KA520 processor modules. Valid for R0 through R15 with the KA550 processor module. · + (plus) -- location following the last location accessed by an EXAMINE or DEPOSIT. For references to physical or virtual memory address space, the accessed location is the last address plus the size of the last reference. For all the other addresses, the location is the last address plus 1. · - (minus) -- location preceding the last location accessed by an EXAMINE or DEPOSIT. For references to physical or virtual memory address space, the accessed location is the last address minus the size of the last reference. For all the other addresses, the location is the last address minus 1. · * (asterisk) -- last location referenced by an EXAMINE or DEPOSIT. CIO Mode Console Commands 5-11 5.5 HALT The HALT command suspends execution and causes the processor module to invoke the processor console firmware. Example >>> HALT ! Halts the system. The HALT command syntax is: H[ALT] The HALT command sends a request to the processor to halt program execution. The HALT process stops execution, invokes the console firmware, and saves the current processor context (PC, PSL, GPRs, and memory management). CAUTION System operation may be jeopardized when you use this command. 5.6 INITIALIZE The INITIALIZE command initializes the system to its power-on state. Example >>> INIT ! Initializes the system. The INITIALIZE command syntax is: I[NITIALIZE] The INITIALIZE command sets selected system registers to power- on states by performing a hard reset to the processor module and the primary system I/O controller module. The zone executing the INITIALIZE command is forced into a simplex console mode. Rhe console must be in a simplex mode before executing most diagnostic commands. 5-12 CIO Mode Console Commands 5.7 MIO The MIO command changes the console mode from CIO to MIO. Example >>> MIO ! Changes the console to MIO mode MIO> ! and issues the MIO> prompt. The MIO command syntax is: M[IO] The MIO command changes the console mode from CIO to MIO to allow use of MIO mode console commands (Chapter 6). You do not need to halt the operating software to use the MIO mode commands, but some commands are used for maintenance only. Maintenance commands should be executed only from a halted system. For a remote operator to use MIO mode, full access privileges must be set by the local operator. For more information on terminal mode change commands, see Table 5-6. 5.8 NEW CPU The NEW CPU command updates a new processor module with system information from the processor module located in the partner zone. Example >>> NEW CPU ! The new processor module copies ! EEPROM data from the other zone. >>> I[NITIALIZE] ! Initializes the system. The NEW CPU command syntax is: NEW CPU CAUTION The NEW CPU command is executed only by qualified maintenance personnel. CIO Mode Console Commands 5-13 5.9 PIO The PIO command changes the console mode from CIO to PIO. Example >>> PIO ! Changes the console to PIO mode. The PIO command syntax is: P[IO] The PIO command has the same function as the SET TERMINAL PROGRAM command. In PIO mode, all keyboard characters are passed to the operating software. For more information on terminal mode change commands, see Table 5-6. 5.10 REPEAT The REPEAT command continuously executes the specified console command. Examples >>> REPEAT E 27 ! Continuously examines location ! 27 (hex) until ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Ctrl/C ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ is typed. The REPEAT command syntax is: R[EPEAT] command The command may be any CIO mode command except TEST Z (KA550 only), REPEAT, CIO, PIO, MIO, HALT, SHOW, or SET. Execution continues until the operator types ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Ctrl/C ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ from the keyboard. A command must be supplied. CAUTION The REPEAT command is used only during maintenance procedures. 5-14 CIO Mode Console Commands 5.11 SET Follow these rules whenever you issue the SET commands from CIO mode: 1. Issue the INITIALIZE command from CIO mode to make sure the zones are in SIMPLEX mode. 2. Be sure to issue identical SET commands to both zones. Failure to do so may result in an EEPROM CHECKSUM message each time the zones attempt to synchronize. 3. A SET BOOT command issued to provide single-fault protection during boot should include the bootpath designation for both zones and both members of the system disk shadowset. This ensures that both zones boot using the same boot command string. A typical boot command for a model 610 with expansion might be: >>> SET BOOT DEFAULT /R5:70000000 DIA0, DIG1, DIB10, DIF10 When both zones have booted, the software boots to root 7 on system disk DIA0 (zone A) or DIG0 (zone B). If the disk is inaccessible, the shadowset partner provides backup access to the system disk through the other zone. CIO Mode Console Commands 5-15 5.11.1 SET BOOT The SET BOOT command names and stores a boot command. Examples 1. >>> SET BOOT DISK /R5:5 DIA0 ! Creates an RF-series boot command called ! DISK and stores it in EEPROM. 2. >>> SET BOOT ENET EPF0 ! Creates an Ethernet boot command ! called ENET and stores it in EEPROM. 3. >>> SET BOOT DEFAULT DIA0 ! Creates the default boot specifier ! and stores it in EEPROM. The SET BOOT command syntax is: SE[T] B[OOT] name [/qualifier] [device list] [/qualifier] The name specifier must be a 1- to 4-character symbolic name for the stored boot command. Use of symbolic names that are the same as the device specifiers is not recommended. A qualifier may be included before or after the device specifier. The syntax is the same as for the BOOT command. Example 1 creates a command to boot from an RF-series disk and stores it in EEPROM. When the command BOOT DISK is given, general register R5 passes a hex value of 5 to the VMB bootstrap program, and the boot uses disk unit 0 on the primary system I/O controller module in zone A. Example 2 creates a command to boot from Ethernet and stores it in EEPROM. When the command BOOT ENET is given, the boot uses the Ethernet port on the primary system I/O controller module in zone B. 5-16 CIO Mode Console Commands Example 3 creates a default boot specifier and stores it in EEPROM. The default boot specifier is used during autoboot or when no device list is used with the BOOT command. The word DEFAULT must be spelled out. It is not a symbolic name. Use the following console command sequence to define a default boot specifier: >>> INIT ! Initializes the system. >>> SET BOOT DEFAULT name ! Creates the default boot specifier. ! (You must use this command for ! both zones.) >>> SHOW BOOT ! Displays all stored boot commands. ! (You must verify that the default ! is the same for both zones.) If the BOOT command is issued without arguments, the process uses the saved boot specification called the default. If you issue the SET BOOT name command without a device specifier and press ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Return ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ , the stored boot location is cleared: >>> SE[T] B[OOT] [name] >>> 5.11.2 SET PORT The SET PORT command sets the operating parameters for the terminal port issuing the command. Example >>> SET PORT /SPEED=9600 ! Sets terminal port input and output ! rate to 9600 baud. The SET PORT command syntax is: SE[T] [/P[ermanent]] P[ORT] /qualifier(s) The qualifiers are listed in Table 5-5. At least one qualifier must be supplied. The SET PORT command affects only the terminal port connected to the terminal issuing the command. It may be issued from the local console terminal or the remote console terminal (with full access privileges). It uses the same qualifiers that are used with the SET LOCAL and SET REMOTE commands. CIO Mode Console Commands 5-17 Table 5-5 SET PORT Command Qualifiers ------------------------------------------------------------ Qualifier Function ------------------------------------------------------------ /B[reak], /NOB[reak] /BREAK enables baud-rate cycling for the port after the port receives two consecutive Break characters from the terminal. /NOBREAK disables the baud-rate cycling for the port. /U[pper], /L[ower] /UPPER changes the received character to uppercase before it is interpreted by the console. (Has no effect in PIO mode.) /LOWER inhibits changes to uppercase; all characters are accepted and interpreted as received. /H[ardcopy], /NOH[ardcopy] /HARDCOPY sets the console for hard-copy terminal operation. /NOHARDCOPY sets the console for video terminal operation. (These qualifiers have the same effect as /NOSCOPE and /SCOPE.) /SC[ope], /NOS[cope] /SCOPE sets the console for video terminal operation. /NOSCOPE sets the console for hard-copy terminal operation. (These qualifiers have the same effect as /NOHARDCOPY and /HARDCOPY.) /SYNC_I[n], /NOSYNC_I[n] /SYNC_IN causes the console to recognize the Ctrl/S and Ctrl/Q flow-control characters. /NOSYNC_IN causes the console to ignore Ctrl/S and Ctrl/Q and pass them as normal characters. /SYNC_O[ut], /NOSYNC_O[ut] /SYNC_OUT causes the console to generate Ctrl/S and Ctrl/Q for flow control from the processor module. /NOSYNC_OUT causes the console to disable flow control. /SP[eed]=rate or /SP[eed]:rate Sets the baud rate for the port issuing the command. Valid baud rates are: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, and 19200. The default baud rate is 9600. ------------------------------------------------------------ 5-18 CIO Mode Console Commands 5.11.3 SET TERMINAL PROGRAM The SET TERMINAL PROGRAM command sets the I/O mode for the terminal issuing the command. Example >>> SET TERMINAL PROGRAM ! Sets the terminal to the program ! I/O mode. The SET TERMINAL PROGRAM command syntax is: SE[T] T[ERMINAL] P[ROGRAM] The SET TERMINAL PROGRAM command is synonymous with the PIO command. The mode change commands are listed in Table 5-6. Table 5-6 Terminal Mode Change Commands ------------------------------------------------------------ Command Function ------------------------------------------------------------ P[io] or SE[t] T[erminal] P[rogram] Changes the console mode from CIO or MIO to PIO mode. To recognize and process PIO commands, the operating software must be running. In PIO mode, all keyboard characters are passed to the operating software. CI[o] Changes the console mode from MIO to CIO. The ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Break ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ key is used to enter CIO mode from PIO mode. To recognize and process CIO commands, the operating software must be halted and the processor must be running the console firmware. M[io] Changes the console mode from CIO to MIO. You cannot enter MIO mode from PIO mode; first enter CIO mode. You do not need to halt the operating software to use the MIO mode commands. For a remote operator to use MIO mode, full access privileges must be set by the local operator. ------------------------------------------------------------ CIO Mode Console Commands 5-19 5.11.4 SET ZONE The SET ZONE command establishes the zone configuration. Examples 1. >>> SET ZONE A ! Configures the zone for zone A operation. 2. >>> SET ZONE B ! Configures the zone for zone B operation. The SET ZONE_ID command syntax is: SE[T] Z[ONE] option The option specifier may be the letter A or B. The zone configuration is always stored in the EEPROM of the zone issuing the command. CAUTION The SET ZONE command is used only during installation and maintenance procedures. After a SET ZONE, initialize the system (Section 5.6, INITIALIZE). 5-20 CIO Mode Console Commands 5.12 SHOW The SHOW command displays the system operating parameters. Example >>> SHOW BOOT ! Displays all stored boot CTzn SHOW BOOT ! commands in volatile memory. TAPE /R5:0000004 MIA0 ! Sends to all terminals, . . . ! where z identifies the . . . ! zone issuing the command . . . ! as A or B, and n identifies . . . ! the local terminal as 0 and . . . ! the remote terminal as 1. The SHOW command syntax is: SH[OW] option The options are listed in Table 5-7. An option specifier must be supplied. Table 5-7 SHOW Command Options ------------------------------------------------------------ Option Function ------------------------------------------------------------ B[OOT] Identifies the zone and issuing terminal and displays the settings for all stored boot commands. CO[NFIGURATION] Displays a table of the modules in the backplane. CP[U] Displays the ROM version of the CPU and the primary I/O controller module. E[THERNET] Displays the physical Ethernet addresses. P[ORT] Displays the port address. ALL Displays boot, configuration, CPU, and Ethernet parameters. ------------------------------------------------------------ CIO Mode Console Commands 5-21 5.13 START The START command begins execution of the operating software from the specified address. Example >>> S 100 ! Starts the program beginning ! at address 100 (hex). The START command syntax is: S[TART] [address] The address specifier is optional and used to identify the hex value of the starting address. Program execution starts at the specified address or, if the address is omitted, at the PC contents saved on the previous HALT. If memory management is enabled, the address is virtual. If memory management is not enabled, the address is physical. 5-22 CIO Mode Console Commands 5.14 TEST The TEST command invokes the ROM-based diagnostic (RBD) monitor on the processor module. Examples 1. >>> T ! Invokes the RBD monitor. VAXft 3000 RBD Monitor VX.X RBD> 2. >>> T /RBD ! Invokes the RBD monitor RBD> ! and returns the RBD> prompt. ! You are able to run RBD tests. . . . RBD> QUIT ! Leaves the RBD monitor and returns >>> ! you to CIO mode. or 1. >>> T ! Invokes the RBD monitor. VAXft RBD Monitor VX.X RBD> 2. >>> T /RBD ! Invokes the RBD monitor RBD> ! and returns the RBD> prompt. ! You are able to run RBD tests. . . . RBD> QUIT ! Leaves the RBD monitor and returns >>> ! you to CIO mode. CIO Mode Console Commands 5-23 The TEST command syntax is: T[EST] [/R[bd]] The TEST and TEST /RBD commands invoke the RBD interactive mode, return the RBD> prompt, and terminate all other processor functions. The operator may then run the complete set or selected parts of the processor module diagnostics from the RBD monitor. RBD tests may be run from the local console terminal or remote console terminal. When the operator exits RBD mode, the processor returns to CIO mode (the console firmware). CAUTION The TEST command is used only by qualified maintenance personnel. 5-24 CIO Mode Console Commands 5.15 Z The Z command invokes the RBD monitor on any system logic module except for the primary system I/O controller module, processor module, or a memory module. Example >>> Z 2 ! Invokes the RBD monitor on the CTA0: Z 2 ! secondary system I/O controller module MIO> T/R ! in slot 1 of the backplane. When the MIO> T/R ! module responds, press ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Return ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ again and ! issue the TEST/RBD command. VAXft 3000 RBD Monitor Vx.x RBD2> ! Places you in the RBD monitor on the ! secondary system I/O controller module ! in slot 1. (Slot 1 has slot ID 2. See ! Chapter 4.) You are able to run RBD tests. . . . RBD2> QUIT ! Exits the RBD monitor and ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Return ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ! enters the MIO mode. MIO> ^P ! Type ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Ctrl/P ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ to return to >>> ! CIO mode. or >>> Z 2 ! Invokes the RBD monitor on the CTA0: Z 2 ! secondary system I/O controller module ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Return ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ! in slot 1 of the backplane. When the MIO> T/R ! module responds, press ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Return ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ again and ! issue the TEST/RBD command. VAXft RBD Monitor Vx.x RBD2> ! Places you in the RBD monitor on the ! secondary system I/O controller module ! in slot 1. (Slot 1 has slot ID 2. See ! Chapter 4.) You are able to run RBD tests. . . . RBD2> QUIT ! Exits the RBD monitor and ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Return ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ! enters the MIO mode. MIO> ^P ! Type ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Ctrl/P ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ to return to >>> ! CIO mode. CIO Mode Console Commands 5-25 The Z command syntax is: Z n The n specifies the slot ID number of an approved I/O or adapter module in the backplane of the local zone (Chapter 4, Console Operations). If you specify a slot that does not contain a module, the console returns an error message. The Z command invokes a system console communication mode that allows the console operator to run interactive RBD tests on the designated module. The console returns the RBDn> prompt. The n is the slot ID number of the module under test. See Figure 4-6. CAUTION The Z command is used only by qualified maintenance personnel and cannot be used to go to another zone. 6 MIO Mode Console Commands ------------------------------------------------------------ This chapter describes the console commands available when the console is in the module I/O (MIO) mode. MIO commands affect output to the console terminal or port; the processor may be running or halted. This chapter includes: · Entering MIO mode · MIO mode console commands: CIo DIAlout DISable Remote Enable Remote Hangup Pio Rbd SEt SEt LAnguage SEt Local SEt Modem_type SEt Notification SEt Port SEt REMote SEt REStart_action SEt Terminal Program SHow SHow LAnguage SHow Local SHow Notification SHow Port SHow REMote SHow REStart_action Test NOTE The shortest possible command abbreviations are shown in bold capital letters. 6-1 6-2 MIO Mode Console Commands NOTE The focus of this chapter is model 310, 410, 610, and 612 systems. If you own a model 110 system, keep in mind the following: · An expanded system is always a model 310, 410, 610, or 612 system. · A dual cabinet system is always a model 310, 410, 610, or 612 system. In a model 110 system, the two zones are housed in a single cabinet. · The Local Console Disable switch is present on model 310, 410, 610, and 612 systems. In a model 110 system, the consoles are always enabled. 6.1 Entering MIO Mode Using the example as a guide, follow the numbered steps to enter MIO mode. For a remote operator to use MIO mode, full access privileges must be set by the local operator. Example $ ! From PIO mode, release the Local Console $ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Break ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ! Disable switch (OFF, button out). The ! indicator is dark (unlit). Then press the >>> ! ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Break ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ key. >>> MIO MIO> . . . MIO> CIO or ! Entering the CIO or PIO command returns PIO ! you to CIO or PIO mode, respectively. Comments are allowed on a command line. Comments, or characters following an exclamation point (!), are ignored by the console when the ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Return ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ key is pressed. This feature is useful when documenting a console session on a hard-copy terminal. MIO Mode Console Commands 6-3 To enter and use MIO mode: 1. Your console terminal is connected to a system cabinet. While still in PIO mode, check the summary panel on that system cabinet. Make sure the Local Console Disable switch on the summary panel is released (OFF, button out) and the indicator is dark (unlit). 2. Press the ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Break ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ key to leave PIO mode. When the console enters CIO mode it returns the >>> prompt. 3. Enter the MIO command and press ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Return ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ . (The processor may be running or halted.) When the console returns the MIO> prompt, enter MIO commands. 4. To return to one of the other modes, enter one of these commands: SET TERMINAL PROGRAM, PIO, or CIO. Chapter 4 provides more information on use of the various console operating modes. Some commands controlling the terminal ports on the primary system I/O controller module (SET PORT and SET TERMINAL PROGRAM) are recognized in CIO and MIO modes. To recognize and process CIO commands, the operating software must be halted and the processor must be running the console firmware. CIO commands are described in Chapter 5. 6-4 MIO Mode Console Commands 6.2 CIO The CIO command changes the console mode from MIO to CIO. Example MIO> CIO ! Changes the console to CIO mode >>> ! and issues the >>> console prompt. The CIO command syntax is: CI[O] The CIO command changes the console mode from MIO to CIO to allow use of CIO mode console commands (Chapter 5). Halt the operating software to use the CIO mode commands. For more information on terminal mode change commands, see Table 6-10. MIO Mode Console Commands 6-5 6.3 DIALOUT The DIALOUT command invokes the console autonotification process. Example MIO> DIALOUT ! Invokes the console dialout procedure. The DIALOUT command syntax is: DIA[LOUT] When the DIALOUT command is issued, the autonotification process dials out using the stored notification phone number, retry count, and retry delay time. (These parameters are set using the SET NOTIFICATION command.) If the connection is successful, the notification message is transmitted and the MIO> prompt is returned to the issuing console terminal. If the connection is not successful, an error message is returned to the issuing console terminal. CAUTION The DIALOUT command is used only during maintenance procedures. 6-6 MIO Mode Console Commands 6.4 DISABLE REMOTE The DISABLE REMOTE command disables all remote terminal console privileges. Example MIO> DISABLE REMOTE ! Disables all remote console privileges. The DISABLE REMOTE command syntax is: DIS[ABLE] R[EMOTE] The DISABLE REMOTE command has the same function as the SET REMOTE OFF command. If a remote session is in progress, the command does not take effect until the remote terminal ``hangs up'' and breaks the connection. Future dial-in attempts are ignored. MIO Mode Console Commands 6-7 6.5 ENABLE REMOTE The ENABLE REMOTE command enables remote terminal console privileges. Examples 1. MIO> ENABLE REMOTE ! Enables all remote console privileges. 2. MIO> ENABLE REMOTE USER ! Enables PIO mode access for the remote ! console. The ENABLE REMOTE command syntax is: E[NABLE] R[EMOTE] [U[SER]] Without the USER option, the command has the same function as the SET REMOTE FULL command, enabling all privileges including dial-in access when the remote connection is made through a modem. With the USER option, the command has the same function as the SET REMOTE SECURE command, enabling access for the remote operator, but only in PIO mode. If the remote terminal is in any other mode, the command does not take effect until the remote operator enters PIO mode. Then the remote operator cannot leave PIO mode until full access privileges are set by the local operator. 6-8 MIO Mode Console Commands 6.6 HANGUP The HANGUP command breaks the remote terminal telephone connection. Example MIO> HANGUP ! Disconnects the telephone connection. The HANGUP command syntax is: H[ANGUP] When the HANGUP command is issued from a remote terminal connected through a modem, the modem breaks the connection by deasserting the data terminal ready (DTR) signal. If a DISABLE REMOTE or SET REMOTE OFF command has also been issued, the remote terminal becomes inactive. MIO Mode Console Commands 6-9 6.7 PIO The PIO command changes the console mode from MIO to PIO. Example MIO> PIO ! Changes the console to PIO mode. The PIO command syntax is: P[IO] The PIO command has the same function as the SET TERMINAL PROGRAM command. In PIO mode, all keyboard characters are passed to the operating software. For more information on terminal mode change commands, see Table 6-10. 6-10 MIO Mode Console Commands 6.8 RBD The RBD command invokes the ROM-based diagnostic (RBD) monitor on the primary system I/O controller module. In the RBD monitor, the system drives can be configured using the diagnostic/utility protocol (DUP) facility. Example >>> MIO ! Enters MIO mode from CIO mode. MIO> RBD ! Invokes the RBD monitor and RBD1> ! returns the RBD1> prompt. The RBD command syntax is: R[BD] The RBD command is identical to the TEST/RBD command. It invokes the RBD interactive mode, returns the RBD> prompt, and terminates all other console functions. When the operator exits RBD mode, the primary system I/O controller module initializes itself and returns to PIO mode (the default). CAUTION The RBD command is used only by qualified maintenance personnel. The RBD command must not be used while the operating system is running. 6.8.1 Setting System Drive Parameters Placing two drives with the same DSSI parameters in the same system can prevent the use of one of the devices or can cause irretrievable loss of data. Therefore, no two drives at a computer site should have the same unit number or DSSI node name. Drives may be written with the parameters shown in the following sections or as required by the application. The parameters shown in Sections 6.8.1.1 or 6.8.1.2 should be written during the system installation. Sections 6.8.2 and 6.8.3 provide examples of how to read and write parameters on a halted system. If, at a later date, you need to install a new drive, or a drive that has had the DSSI controller/interface module replaced, write the drive parameters to configure the drive into the system. The VAXft System Services Manager 's Guide provides further information on replacing or configuring drives in a running system. MIO Mode Console Commands 6-11 6.8.1.1 Base System Drive numbering sequences greater than 7 (decimal) should be used as shown in the following chart.

MIO Mode Console Commands 6-13 6.8.2 The SHOW_DSSI Command NOTE The SHOW_DSSI command does not apply to model 110 systems because the node IDs are fixed at 0, 1, and 2. The SHOW_DSSI command shows the parameters for all available drives connected to the primary system I/O controller module in the zone issuing the command. Zone A of a base system might show the following combination of drives in the left system cabinet: RBD1> SHOW_DSSI DSSI Node 5 (T7GAT0) -MIA5 (TF70) DSSI Node 6 (*) DSSI Node 7 (R3DK3G) -DIA7 (RF-series) RBD1> In the previous example, the zone A cabinet contains a TF70 cannister tape drive in the DSSI ID 5 slot and an RF-series cannister disk drive in the DSSI ID 7 slot. DSSI node 6 is occupied by the primary system I/O controller module. The drives return the following information: · DSSI node ID value (node 5 and 7) from the backplane · Factory-set DSSI node name (T7GAT0 and R3DK3G) · Unit number (MIA5 and DIA7) from the backplane · Device type (TF70 and RF-series) 6-14 MIO Mode Console Commands Zone B of a base system might show the following combination of drives in the right system cabinet: RBD1> SHOW_DSSI DSSI Node 5 (R3DK3D) -DIA5 (RF-series) DSSI Node 6 (*) DSSI Node 7 (R3DK3E) -DIA7 (RF-series) RBD1> In the above example, the zone B cabinet contains RF-series carrier disk drives in the DSSI ID 5 and DSSI ID 7 slots. DSSI node 6 is occupied by the primary system I/O controller module. The drives return the following information: · DSSI node ID value (node 5 and 7) from the backplane · Factory-set DSSI node name (R3DK3D and R3DK3E) · Unit number (DIA5 and DIA7) from the backplane · Device type (RF-series) 6.8.3 DUP PARAMS Commands Setting the force unit (FORCEUNI) bit to a 0 causes the drives to use the stored unit numbers written by the DUP PARAMS procedure. Setting the FORCEUNI bit to a 1 (the factory default) causes the drives to use the hardwired unit numbers selected by the backplane. CAUTION The FORCEUNI bit must be the same in all drives in the system. Digital recommends setting the FORCEUNI bit to 0. Doing so causes the unit number to remain the same if the device is moved to another DSSI device slot. MIO Mode Console Commands 6-15 The following examples show how to write DSSI parameters to the drives in both system cabinets of a base system. The same procedures can be used with a system with expansion. Use the numbering sequences shown in Section 6.8.1.1 for a base system or Section 6.8.1.2 for a system with expansion.

Sets language to the ENGLISH option ! in volatile memory. 2. MIO> SET /PERMANENT LANGUAGE ENGLISH ! Sets language to the ENGLISH option ! both in volatile memory and in EEPROM. The SET command syntax is: SE[T] [/P[ermanent]] option parameter The /P[ermanent] qualifier is optional, but the option and the parameter for the option must be supplied. Without the /P[ermanent] qualifier, the command stores the setting in volatile memory. The volatile memory value is lost if power is removed from the processor. With the /P[ermanent] qualifier, the command stores the setting in volatile memory and in EEPROM. The EEPROM value is saved if power is removed from the processor and is written to volatile memory when power is restored. The SET command establishes the console settings for the following options: LA[nguage] N[otification] RES[tart_action] L[ocal] P[ort] T[erminal] P[rogram] M[odem_type] REM[ote] MIO Mode Console Commands 6-19 6.9.1 SET LANGUAGE The SET LANGUAGE command sets the MIO console error message output. Examples 1. MIO> SET /PERMANENT LANGUAGE ENGLISH ! Sets the terminal display to English ! for the MIO error message code and ! the error description. 2. MIO> SET /PERMANENT LANGUAGE INTERNATIONAL ! Sets the display to International. ! Displays the MIO error message code ! without the error description. SET /P LANGUAGE I and SET LANGUAGE I both set the display temporarily to international. Once the zone or system is powered off and then powered on, the language defaults to English. The SET LANGUAGE command syntax is: SE[T] [/P[ermanent]] LA[NGUAGE] option The options are listed in Table 6-1. An option specifier must be supplied. Table 6-1 SET LANGUAGE Command Options ------------------------------------------------------------ Option Function ------------------------------------------------------------ E[nglish] Displays the error code with the definition in English text. I[nternational] Displays the error code without the text. ------------------------------------------------------------ 6-20 MIO Mode Console Commands 6.9.2 SET LOCAL The SET LOCAL command sets the operating parameters for the local terminal port. Examples 1. MIO> SET LOCAL /SCOPE ! Sets the local console terminal port ! for a video terminal. 2. MIO> SET LOCAL /NOSCOPE ! Sets the local console terminal port ! for a hard-copy terminal. The SET LOCAL command syntax is: SE[T] [/P[ermanent] L[OCAL] /qualifier(s) The qualifiers are listed in Table 6-2. At least one qualifier must be supplied. The SET LOCAL command may be issued from the local console terminal or the remote console terminal (with full access privileges). It uses the same qualifiers used with the SET PORT and SET REMOTE commands. MIO Mode Console Commands 6-21 Table 6-2 SET LOCAL Command Qualifiers ------------------------------------------------------------ Qualifier Function ------------------------------------------------------------ /B[reak], /NOB[reak] /BREAK enables baud-rate cycling for the port after the port receives two consecutive Break characters from the terminal. /NOBREAK disables the baud-rate cycling for the port. /U[pper] /L[ower] /UPPER changes the received character to uppercase before it is interpreted by the console. (Has no effect in PIO mode.) /LOWER inhibits changes to uppercase; all characters are accepted and interpreted as received. /H[ardcopy], /NOH[ardcopy] /HARDCOPY sets the console for hard-copy terminal operation. /NOHARDCOPY sets the console for video terminal operation. (These qualifiers have the same effect as /NOSCOPE and /SCOPE.) /S[cope], /NOS[cope] /SCOPE sets the console for video terminal operation. /NOSCOPE sets the console for hard-copy terminal operation. (These qualifiers have the same effect as /NOHARDCOPY and /HARDCOPY.) /SYNC_I[n], /NOSYNC_I[n] /SYNC_IN causes the console to recognize the Ctrl/S and Ctrl/Q flow-control characters. /NOSYNC_IN causes the console to ignore Ctrl/S and Ctrl/Q and pass them as normal characters. /SYNC_O[ut], /NOSYNC_O[ut] /SYNC_OUT causes the console to generate Ctrl/S and Ctrl/Q for flow control from the processor module. /NOSYNC_OUT causes the console to disable flow control. /SP[eed]=rate or /SP[eed]:rate Sets the baud rate for the port issuing the command. Valid baud rates are: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, and 19200. The default baud rate is 9600. ------------------------------------------------------------ 6-22 MIO Mode Console Commands 6.9.3 SET MODEM_TYPE The SET MODEM_TYPE command defines the type of connection between the remote terminal and the system I/O module. Example MIO> SET /PERMANENT MODEM_TYPE V22 ! Sets the console interface for the ! modem both in volatile memory and ! in EEPROM. The SET MODEM_TYPE command syntax is: SE[T] [/P[ermanent]] M[ODEM_TYPE] option The options are listed in Table 6-3. An option specifier must be supplied. Table 6-3 SET MODEM_TYPE Command Options ------------------------------------------------------------ Option Function ------------------------------------------------------------ N[one] The remote terminal is connected directly to the system I/O module or through a Digital remote services console (RSC) interface. V2[2] The remote terminal is connected through an asynchronous modem that conforms to V22, such as a Digital DF03 or DF224 modem. ------------------------------------------------------------ NOTE To ensure data integrity, error correcting modems using conditioned lines are suggested. MIO Mode Console Commands 6-23 6.9.4 SET NOTIFICATION The SET NOTIFICATION command sets the operating parameters for the autonotification process. Example MIO> SET NOTIFICATION TRANSMIT_DELAY 5 ! Sets the notification transmit ! delay to 5 seconds. The SET NOTIFICATION command syntax is: SE[T] /P[ermanent] N[OTIFICATION] option The options are listed in Table 6-4. An option specifier must be supplied. Quoted parameters must be entered within quotation marks (`` '') as shown. The autonotification process is invoked when the system I/O module loses contact with the host operating system or when the DIALOUT command is issued. Table 6-4 SET NOTIFICATION Command Options ------------------------------------------------------------ Option Function ------------------------------------------------------------ P[hone_number] ``number'' 1 The ``number'' is the phone number for the dial-out process. The quoted string is sent to the modem when autonotification is invoked. Normal dial-outs use the phone number stored in volatile memory. Emergency dial-outs use the phone number stored in EEPROM. M[essage] ``message'' 1 The ``message'' is the message to be transmitted when the DIALOUT command is successful. ------------------------------------------------------------ 1 The quoted string may consist of up to 255 ASCII characters if preceded by the escape () character (ASCII 27). 6-24 MIO Mode Console Commands Table 6-4 (Continued) SET NOTIFICATION Command Options ------------------------------------------------------------ Option Function ------------------------------------------------------------ C[ountry] name The name is the country from which a dialout message will occur. Each country has an associated retry count, retry delay, and disconnect timeout. Table 6-5 lists the countries you can select. The defaults are as follows: · Retry count = 1 · Retry delay = 0 · Disconnect timeout = 60 E[mergency_message] ``message'' 1 The ``message'' is the message to be transmitted by the autonotification process if the I/O module loses communication with the processor module. PARAM1 ``parameter'' 1 The ``parameter'' is the first of three parameters passed to the script interpreter for the dial-out procedure. PARAM2 ``parameter'' 1 The ``parameter'' is the second of three parameters passed to the script interpreter for the dial-out procedure. PARAM3 ``parameter'' 1 The ``parameter'' is the third of three parameters passed to the script interpreter for the dial-out procedure. T[ransmit_delay] value The value is a positive 0 to 255 (decimal) value representing the number of seconds the autonotification process waits before transmitting a message after data set ready (DSR) is asserted by the modem (indicating that the remote connection has been established). The value is also used as the delay after the message is sent before data terminal ready (DTR) is released. ------------------------------------------------------------ 1 The quoted string may consist of up to 255 ASCII characters if preceded by the escape () character (ASCII 27). ------------------------------------------------------------ MIO Mode Console Commands 6-25 Table 6-5 Dialout Countries ------------------------------------------------------------ Country Retry Count Retry Delay Disconnect Timeout ------------------------------------------------------------ AL[geria] 1 0 60 AUSTRA[lia] 10 120 61 AUSTRI[a] 10 120 90 B[elgium] 10 120 80 C[anada] 10 120 90 D[enmark] 10 120 61 E[gypt] 1 0 60 FI[nland] 4 120 90 FR[ance] 5 120 120 G[ermany] 8 120 90 IR[eland] 4 120 61 IS[rael] 4 300 61 I[taly] 4 300 61 J[apan] 10 300 61 NET[herlands] 10 120 61 NEW[_zealand] 4 300 61 NO[rway] 10 120 61 P[ortugal] 4 300 61 SA[udi_Arabia] 1 0 60 SP[ain] 4 300 61 SWE[den] 10 120 61 SWI[tzerland] 5 120 90 UK 7 120 61 US[a] 10 120 90 ------------------------------------------------------------ 6-26 MIO Mode Console Commands 6.9.5 SET PORT The SET PORT command sets the operating parameters for the terminal port issuing the command. Example MIO> SET PORT /SPEED=9600 ! Sets terminal port input and output ! rate to 9600 baud. The SET PORT command syntax is: SE[T] [/P[ermanent]] P[ORT] /qualifier(s) The qualifiers are listed in Table 6-6. At least one qualifier must be supplied. The SET PORT command affects only the terminal port connected to the terminal issuing the command. It may be issued from the local console terminal or the remote console terminal (with full access privileges). It uses the same qualifiers that are used with the SET LOCAL and SET REMOTE commands. MIO Mode Console Commands 6-27 Table 6-6 SET PORT Command Qualifiers ------------------------------------------------------------ Qualifier Function ------------------------------------------------------------ /B[reak], /NOB[reak] /BREAK enables baud-rate cycling for the port after the port receives two consecutive Break characters from the terminal. /NOBREAK disables the baud-rate cycling for the port. /U[pper], /L[ower] /UPPER changes the received character to uppercase before it is interpreted by the console.

Valid baud rates are: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, and 19200. The default baud rate is 9600. ------------------------------------------------------------ 6-28 MIO Mode Console Commands 6.9.6 SET REMOTE The SET REMOTE command sets the operating parameters and privileges for the remote terminal port. Example MIO> SET REMOTE FULL ! Enables the remote terminal for ! full console access privileges. MIO> SET REMOTE /SCOPE ! Enables the remote port for ! video terminal option. The SET REMOTE command syntax is: SE[T] [/P[ermanent]] REM[OTE] option or: SE[T] [/P[ermanent]] REM[OTE] /qualifier(s) The options are listed in Table 6-7. The qualifiers are listed in Table 6-8. At least one option or qualifier must be supplied, but multiple qualifiers may be issued. However, options and qualifiers cannot be issued in the same command. The SET REMOTE option command sets access privileges for the remote terminal port without affecting a remote session currently in progress. The command may be issued from the local console terminal or the remote console terminal (with full access privileges). The SET REMOTE /qualifier(s) command may affect a remote session currently in progress. SET REMOTE uses the same qualifiers used with the SET LOCAL and SET PORT commands. MIO Mode Console Commands 6-29 Table 6-7 SET REMOTE Command Options ------------------------------------------------------------ Option Function ------------------------------------------------------------ F[ull] Enables the remote terminal for full access privileges as a console terminal. Synonymous with the ENABLE REMOTE command. S[ecure] Enables the remote terminal for use only as an operating terminal in PIO mode. If a remote session is in progress, the command does not take effect until the remote operator enters PIO mode. Synonymous with the ENABLE REMOTE command. O[ff] Disables all remote user terminal console functions. If a remote session is in progress, the command does not take effect until the remote terminal ``hangs up'' and breaks the connection. Future dial-in attempts are ignored. Synonymous with the DISABLE REMOTE command. ------------------------------------------------------------ 6-30 MIO Mode Console Commands Table 6-8 SET REMOTE Command Qualifiers ------------------------------------------------------------ Qualifier Function ------------------------------------------------------------ /B[reak], /NOB[reak] /BREAK enables baud-rate cycling for the port after the port receives two consecutive Break characters from the terminal. /NOBREAK disables the baud-rate cycling for the port. /U[pper], /L[ower] /UPPER changes the received character to uppercase before it is interpreted by the console.

Valid baud rates are: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, and 19200. The default baud rate is 9600. ------------------------------------------------------------ MIO Mode Console Commands 6-31 6.9.7 SET RESTART_ACTION The SET RESTART_ACTION command defines the action the zone takes after an initialization or power-on sequence. Example MIO> SET /PERMANENT RESTART_ACTION HALT ! Sets the zone to halt and invokes ! the console firmware after an ! initialization or power-on sequence. The SET RESTART_ACTION command syntax is: SE[T] [/P[ermanent]] RES[TART_ACTION] option The options are listed in Table 6-9. An option specifier must be supplied. The SET RESTART_ACTION command determines what action the system reset process takes after the system self-test diagnostics run successfully. The action is invoked after a system initialization, power-on sequence, or power-on following a power failure. Table 6-9 SET RESTART_ACTION Command Options ------------------------------------------------------------ Option Function ------------------------------------------------------------ R[estart] First, an operating system dump to disk is performed. Then the system boots from a device specifier or boot specification stored in volatile memory or EEPROM. (Only EEPROM is valid for a power-on sequence.) B[oot] Similar to RESTART, but without the operating system dump to disk. The system boots from a device specifier or boot specification stored in volatile memory or EEPROM. (Only EEPROM is valid for a power-on sequence.) H[alt] The processor halts execution of the operating software and enters the console firmware. The local console terminal and remote console terminal (if enabled) both enter CIO mode. ------------------------------------------------------------ 6-32 MIO Mode Console Commands 6.9.8 SET TERMINAL PROGRAM The SET TERMINAL PROGRAM command sets the I/O mode for the terminal issuing the command. Example MIO> SET TERMINAL PROGRAM ! Sets the terminal to the program ! I/O mode. The SET TERMINAL PROGRAM command syntax is: SE[T] T[ERMINAL] P[ROGRAM] The SET TERMINAL PROGRAM command is synonymous with the PIO command. The mode change commands are listed in Table 6-10. Table 6-10 Terminal Mode Change Commands ------------------------------------------------------------ Command Function ------------------------------------------------------------ P[io] or SE[t] T[erminal] P[rogram] Changes the console mode from CIO or MIO to PIO mode. To recognize and process PIO commands, the operating software must be running. In PIO mode, all keyboard characters are passed to the operating software. CI[o] Changes the console mode from MIO to CIO. The ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Break ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ key is used to enter CIO mode from PIO mode. To recognize and process CIO commands, the operating software must be halted and the processor must be running the console firmware. M[io] Changes the console mode from CIO to MIO. You cannot enter MIO mode from PIO mode; first enter CIO mode. You do not need to halt the operating software to use the MIO mode commands. For a remote operator to use MIO mode, full access privileges must be set by the local operator. ------------------------------------------------------------ MIO Mode Console Commands 6-33 6.10 SHOW The SHOW command displays the current settings for the specified option. Examples MIO> SHOW REMOTE ! Shows the remote port parameters ! stored in volatile memory. MIO> SHOW /PERMANENT RESTART_ACTION ! Shows the restart-action switch ! setting stored in EEPROM. The SHOW command syntax is: SH[OW] [/P] option Without the /P[ermanent] qualifier, the command displays the current settings stored in volatile memory. The volatile memory value is lost if power is removed from the processor. With the /P[ermanent] qualifier, the command displays the current settings stored in EEPROM. The EEPROM value is saved if power is removed from the processor and is written to volatile memory when power is restored. The SHOW command displays the current settings for the following options: LA[nguage] P[ort] RES[tart_action] L[ocal] REM[ote] N[otification] 1 ------------------------------------------------------------ 1 Display includes the MODEM_TYPE setting. 6-34 MIO Mode Console Commands 6.11 TEST The TEST command invokes the ROM-based diagnostic (RBD) monitor on the primary system I/O controller module. Examples 1. MIO> TEST ! Invokes the power-on self-tests. 2. MIO> TEST /RBD ! Invokes the RBD monitor RBD1> ! and returns the RBD1> prompt. The TEST command syntax is: T[EST] [/R[bd]] With the /R[bd] qualifier, the command has the same function as the RBD command. It invokes the RBD interactive mode, returns the RBD> prompt, and terminates all other processor functions. The operator may then run the complete set or selected parts of the system I/O module diagnostics from the RBD monitor. RBD tests may be run from the local console terminal or the remote console terminal. The QUIT command must be used to exit the RBD tests. CAUTION The TEST command is used only by qualified maintenance personnel. A TF70 Tape Drive Operation ------------------------------------------------------------ The TF70 cannister tape drive or the TK70 fixed tape drive serves as a system software load device. The cannister tape drive consists of a TK70 streaming tape drive shock-mounted inside a removable cannister with a DSSI controller module and an interface module. The fixed tape drive (in model 110 systems) is fixed behind the I/O bulkhead. The TF70 drive accepts a TK tape cartridge that contains the magnetic tape on a single-feed reel. When a tape cartridge is inserted, the drive hooks the end of the tape and threads it onto a takeup reel inside the drive. The tape must be completely rewound and unloaded before the cartridge can be removed from the drive. Rewinding and unloading may take up to 90 seconds. This appendix includes: · Controls and indicators · TK tape cartridge · Loading a tape cartridge · Unloading a tape cartridge · Handling and storing tape cartridges · Inspecting the tape leader · Inspecting the drive takeup leader · If there is a problem A-1 A-2 TF70 Tape Drive Operation A.1 Controls and Indicators Figure A-1 shows a front view of the TF70 cannister tape drive. Figure A-2 shows a front view of a TK70 fixed tape drive. Figure A-1 TF70 Cannister Tape Drive TF70 Tape Drive Operation A-3 Figure A-2 TK70 Fixed Tape Drive A-4 TF70 Tape Drive Operation Table A-1 summarizes the TK70 tape drive controls. Table A-2 describes the TK70 tape drive indicators. The TF70 drive can read data from a tape written by a TK70 or TK50 drive, but it cannot overwrite a tape originally written by a TK50. (Also, a TK50 drive cannot read a tape written by a TK70 or TF70.) Before executing a tape command, the TF70 drive determines whether the cartridge was written by a TK50 drive. If so, the TF70 drive sets its own write protection so the tape cannot be written. Table A-1 TK70 Tape Drive Controls ------------------------------------------------------------ Control Position Function ------------------------------------------------------------ Handle Open Lets you insert or remove a tape after rewind and unload operations are completed.

Call Digital Customer Services. ------------------------------------------------------------ A-6 TF70 Tape Drive Operation A.2 TK Tape Cartridge Figure A-3 shows the CompacTape II tape cartridge recommended for use in TF70 drives. Figure A-3 CompacTape II Tape Cartridge Only CompacTape II high-density cartridges should be used. They provide about 296 MB of formatted data storage. The cartridge write protect switch slides to the left or right. When the orange indicator is visible, the tape is write protected. When the indicator is not visible, the tape is write enabled. TF70 Tape Drive Operation A-7 A.3 Loading a Tape Cartridge Figure A-4 shows how to insert a TK tape cartridge in the TF70 drive. Figure A-4 Inserting a Tape Cartridge Insert a TK tape cartridge into the TF70 drive as follows: 1. Make sure the cartridge write protect switch is in the desired position (write protected or write enabled). 2. If the green indicator is on, pull the cartridge release handle out and to the left (open). 3. Insert the cartridge with the label facing out and the write protect switch towards the top of the drive as shown in Figure A-4. 4. Push the cartridge in until it is completely seated in the drive. 5. Return the cartridge release handle to the closed position. A-8 TF70 Tape Drive Operation The yellow indicator blinks while the tape is loading. When it stays on steadily, the drive is ready for use. A.4 Unloading a Tape Cartridge Unload a TK tape cartridge from the TF70 drive as follows: 1. Push the unload button shown in Figure A-1. 2. When the beeper sounds and the green indicator turns on, the tape is fully rewound and unloaded. 3. Pull the cartridge release handle out and to the left to eject the cartridge. 4. Remove and store the cartridge. Return the cartridge release handle to the closed position. A.5 Handling and Storing Tape Cartridges Observe the following precautions when handling and storing tape cartridges: · Do not drop or bang the cartridge. If the tape leader is displaced, the cartridge is unusable and may cause damage to the drive. · Keep cartridges out of direct sunlight and away from heaters and other sources of heat. · Store cartridges in a dust-free environment where the temperature is between 10°C and 38°C (50°F and 100°F) and the relative humidity is between 20% and 80%. · If a tape cartridge has been exposed to extreme heat or cold, allow it to stabilize at room temperature for the same amount of time it was exposed (up to 24 hours). · Do not place cartridges near sources of electromagnetic interference (terminals, motors, video or X-ray equipment). Data on the tape may be erased. · Place a label on a cartridge only in the label slot shown in Figure A-3. TF70 Tape Drive Operation A-9 A.6 Inspecting the Tape Leader If you have trouble loading a cartridge, inspect both the tape leader and the drive takeup leader. Figure A-5 shows the correct position of the tape leader inside the cartridge. To release the door lock, lift the catch with your thumb. Open the access door to expose the leader. Make sure the leader is in the correct position as shown. CAUTION Do not touch exposed portions of the magnetic tape. If the tape leader is not in the correct position, do not attempt to use it. Use a new cartridge instead. Figure A-5 Inspecting the Tape Leader A-10 TF70 Tape Drive Operation A.7 Inspecting the Drive Takeup Leader If you have trouble loading a cartridge, inspect the tape leader and the drive takeup leader. Compare the leader in your drive with the ones shown in Figures A-6 and A-7. If the leader is unhooked, displaced, or damaged, call a qualified service person. Do not attempt to fix the leader yourself. Figure A-6 Inspecting the Drive Takeup Leader TF70 Tape Drive Operation A-11 Figure A-7 Drive Takeup Leader Components A-12 TF70 Tape Drive Operation A.8 If There is a Problem If you experience a problem with your drive, the following checks may help you define the problem. Correctable Failure During Operation If the TF70 fails during operation, you may be able to reset the fault, then rewind, unload, and remove the tape cartridge. If all three drive indicators are blinking, press the unload button. If the error is correctable, the tape begins to rewind and the yellow indicator blinks. When the tape is unloaded, the green indicator turns on and the beeper sounds. Then pull the cartridge release handle open and remove the cartridge. Noncorrectable Failure During Tape Motion If the tape does not rewind when you push the unload button and all three indicators continue to blink, the error is not correctable. The drive must be replaced or serviced. Failure During Cartridge Insertion A cartridge fault occurs if a tape cartridge is damaged or if internal portions of the drive that handle the cartridge are not working. Suspect a cartridge fault if the green indicator blinks, but the tape does not move (the yellow indicator does not blink). Remove the cartridge and try another or inspect the tape leader and drive takeup leader. B TF857 Subsystem Operation ------------------------------------------------------------ This appendix explains TF857 subsystem operation: · Power-on process · Mode Select key modes · Operator control panel (OCP) indicator functions · Slot Select, Load/Unload, and Eject button functions · Magazine cartridge insertion and removal B.1 Power-On Process When the TF857 subsystem powers on, all of the indicators on the operator control panel (OCP) light, within 15 seconds. The power-on self-test, or POST, is initializing the subsystem. When POST completes successfully, all OCP indicators, including the Magazine Fault and Loader Fault indicators, turn off -- except for Power On. NOTE If the Magazine Fault or Loader Fault indicator remains on, POST has detected an error. See the TF857 Magazine Tape Subsystem Owner 's Manual for information on error conditions. B-1 B-2 TF857 Subsystem Operation The elevator scans the magazine to determine which slots contain cartridges. If the subsystem has a magazine with a cartridge in slot 0, and no cartridge is in the drive, these indicators should be on: Power On Eject Load/Unload Slot Select Slot 0 B.2 Mode Select Key The Mode Select key (Figure B-1) can lock the loader transfer assembly into the enclosure, as well as lock the receiver closed. It has four modes: OCP Disabled, Automatic, Manual, and Service. The OCP Disabled, Automatic, and Manual modes are for operational use; the Service mode is for head cleaning and servicing procedures. B.2.1 Operating Modes The following modes are for operational use: · OCP Disabled mode -- When the magazine is inserted into the receiver and the receiver is closed, the loader transfer assembly scans the magazine. The first cartridge in the magazine automatically loads into the drive. Operations stop if you are copying data to tape and the storage capacity of the last tape cartridge is exceeded or no tape cartridge is in the next sequential slot in the magazine. To lock the TF857 subsystem into the enclosure and lock the receiver, set the Mode Select key to OCP Disabled mode. The OCP pushbuttons are disabled. · Automatic mode -- This mode is the default, or normal, mode of the TF857 subsystem. It automatically loads and unloads cartridges as necessary during backup procedures. Operations stop if you are copying data to tape and the storage capacity of the last tape cartridge is exceeded or no tape cartridge is in the next sequential slot in the magazine. To lock the TF857 subsystem into its normal operating position in the enclosure, but leave the receiver unlocked, set the Mode Select key to Automatic mode. The receiver can be opened; all OCP pushbuttons are enabled. TF857 Subsystem Operation B-3 Figure B-1 TF857 Operator Control Panel B-4 TF857 Subsystem Operation · Manual mode -- Automatic loading and unloading of cartridges does not occur in this mode; rather, press the Load/Unload button to move each cartridge. This mode is most useful for, but not restricted to, copying specific files to or from tape. To lock the TF857 subsystem into the enclosure, set the Mode Select key to Manual mode. The receiver is unlocked and can be opened; all OCP pushbuttons are on. NOTE During Manual mode, the cartridge returns to the magazine, but the current Slot Select indicator does not advance forward to the next available cartridge. B.2.2 Service Mode Service mode is for performing head cleaning by manually loading the CleaningTape III and for performing servicing procedures. See the TF857 Magazine Tape Subsystem Owner 's Manual for information on head cleaning. To unlock the TF857 subsystem from its enclosure and remove it from its normal operating position, set the Mode Select key to Service mode. The receiver is unlocked and can be opened. TF857 Subsystem Operation B-5 B.3 Operator Control Panel The TF857 operator control panel (OCP) has 3 OCP pushbuttons and 16 indicators used with the Mode Select key (Table B-1). See Section B.2 for information on the Mode Select key and its functions. See Section B.4 for more details on button and indicator operations. Table B-1 TF857 Operator Control Panel ------------------------------------------------------------ Button/Indicator Color Function ------------------------------------------------------------ Eject button - Opens the receiver, allowing access to the magazine for removal and insertion of cartridges. Also can be used to unload the tape from the drive to the magazine. Eject indicator Green Indicates that pressing the Eject button opens the receiver. If a cartridge is in the drive, the cartridge unloads to the magazine and the receiver opens. If no cartridge is in the drive, the receiver opens. Load/Unload button - Loads the currently selected cartridge into the TK857 tape drive, or unloads the cartridge in the drive to the magazine. If the Loader Fault or Magazine Fault indicators are on, can also be used to reset the subsystem. Load/Unload indicator Green Indicates you can press the Load/Unload button. Slot Select button - When pressed, increments the current slot indicator to the next slot. Slot Select indicator Green Indicates the Slot Select button can be used. Pressing the button increments the current slot indicator to the next slot.

B-6 TF857 Subsystem Operation Table B-1 (Continued) TF857 Operator Control Panel ------------------------------------------------------------ Button/Indicator Color Function ------------------------------------------------------------ Write Protected indicator Orange When on, indicates the cartridge currently in the drive is write-protected. When off, indicates the current cartridge is write-enabled. NOTE You can write-protect cartridges by: · Setting the write-protect switch to write-protect. · Using software write-protect qualifiers. (See your operating system documentation.) · Using a CompacTape or CompacTape II cartridge previously written by another drive. Tape In Use indicator Yellow Indicates tape drive activity as follows: · Slow blinking indicates tape is rewinding; rapid blinking indicates tape is reading or writing. · When on steadily, indicates a cartridge is in the drive and the tape is not moving. · When off, indicates no cartridge is in the drive. Magazine Fault indicator Red Indicates a magazine failure. Use Cleaning Tape indicator Orange Indicates the read/write head needs cleaning. Loader Fault indicator Red Indicates a TF857 loader transfer assembly error or drive error. TF857 Subsystem Operation B-7 Table B-1 (Continued) TF857 Operator Control Panel ------------------------------------------------------------ Button/Indicator Color Function ------------------------------------------------------------ Current slot indicators 0-6 Green Identifies the current slot (see Slot Select button). Each current slot indicator blinks when its corresponding cartridge moves to or from the drive. Also used with the Magazine Fault or Loader Fault indicator to indicate the type of fault. ------------------------------------------------------------ B.4 Slot Select, Load/Unload, and Eject Button Functions The Slot Select, Load/Unload and Eject buttons are OCP pushbuttons. They contain a green indicator and are operable only when their corresponding indicators are on. NOTE The Load/Unload button has three functions: load, unload, and reset. If there is a loader fault and the Loader Fault indicator is on, press the Load/Unload button to reset the TF857 subsystem. B.4.1 Selecting a Cartridge Use the Slot Select button to select a cartridge; press this button to advance the slot indicator light to the next available slot. After a successful initialization, the TF857 subsystem automatically selects slot 0 and the Slot Select button becomes active. The Load/Unload and Eject indicators remain on during the slot selection. B.4.2 Loading the Cartridge Press the Load/Unload button to load the cartridge into the drive. This action causes the Select Slot, Load/Unload, and Eject indicators to turn off, and the elevator to move to the selected slot, indicated by the light. The cartridge is then removed from the magazine and placed in the elevator. The elevator moves to the drive position and inserts the cartridge into the drive. The indicators remain off until the tape has loaded to the beginning of the tape (BOT). After the cartridge is loaded into the drive, the Eject and Load/Unload indicators turn on, and the corresponding buttons are enabled. The Slot Select indicator remains off. B-8 TF857 Subsystem Operation B.4.3 Unloading the Cartridge CAUTION Do not press the Load/Unload button until backup or other tape operations are stopped at the terminal. Doing so can result in operation failure and drive unavailability. When you press the Load/Unload button, the Select Slot, Load/Unload, and Eject indicators turn off, and the cartridge unloads from the drive into the magazine. However, automatic operation now stops and the Select Slot operation does not increment. The indicators turn on once the cartridge is returned to the magazine. The Load/Unload indicator must be on before you press the button to load or unload a cartridge. If the Loader Fault indicator is on, showing a malfunction, press the Load/Unload button to reset the subsystem and try to clear the error. B.4.4 Opening the Receiver The Eject button opens the receiver for insertion or removal of the magazine. It is disabled when the Mode Select key is in the OCP Disabled position. The Eject button can also be used to unload a tape from the drive. NOTE When a cartridge is not in the drive, the Slot Select, Load/Unload, and Eject indicators are on before any operation begins. Pressing the Eject button causes all indicators to turn off. The elevator then returns to its home position and the receiver opens. When a cartridge is in the drive, the Eject and Load/Unload indicators are on before the operation begins. When you press the Eject button, both indicators turn off and the cartridge unloads from the drive and moves back into the magazine. The receiver then opens to allow access to the magazine. In both situations, once the receiver is closed again, a magazine scan begins, and the indicators turn back on when the scan is complete. TF857 Subsystem Operation B-9 B.5 Magazine The front of the magazine has numbers, 0 through 6, that indicate the number of the slot. NOTE Insert and remove all cartridges at the front of the magazine. B.5.1 Inserting a Cartridge into the Front of the Magazine To simplify cartridge insertion, place the magazine on its back and facing you. Each slot is numbered -- to ensure you are inserting the cartridge correctly in the front of the magazine. Usually, cartridges are inserted into consecutive slots. To insert a cartridge into the magazine: 1. Grasp the cartridge with the CompacTape III label facing up and the write-protect switch facing you (Figure B-2). 2. Set the cartridge's write-protect switch to the desired position. If you want to write on the tape, slide the switch to the right (orange indicator is not visible). If you want to write-protect the tape, slide the switch to the left (orange indicator is visible). Figure B-2 Write-Protect Switch on a Cartridge B-10 TF857 Subsystem Operation 3. Insert the cartridge (Figure B-3) by pushing it into the slot until you hear a click. A small metal tab holds the cartridge in place. Figure B-3 Inserting a Cartridge into the Magazine TF857 Subsystem Operation B-11 B.5.2 Removing a Cartridge from the Magazine To remove a cartridge from the magazine, press the cartridge (Figure B-4) at the front of the magazine until you hear a click; then, release. The slot uses a spring-release action. When you press the cartridge in all the way, it pops out. NOTE Never apply labels to the top or bottom of tape cartridges. Doing so can cause cartridge jams in the TF857 subsystem. Use the space on the front of the cartridge for labels. If a jam occurs, call your Digital Customer Services representative. B.5.3 Removing the Magazine from the Receiver To remove the magazine from the receiver, be sure the: 1. Power On indicator is on (Figure B-1). 2. Tape drive is unloaded. 3. Eject indicator is on.

D.1 Module Handling and ESD Procedures Three grounding cords are stored in the lower front door of the system cabinet. One cord is connected to a wrist strap. The other cord is connected to a grounding clip for attaching to an antistatic ESD box. When the wrist strap is in place, there must be no more than 10 M through the grounding cord, wrist strap, and your wrist. T3000-series modules are very fragile and static sensitive. Use the grounding cords and observe the following precautions when handling logic modules. · Always put on a grounded wrist strap before handling a logic module. · Be sure nothing touches the module or the components on the module because leads can be damaged. Avoid contact with the wrist strap, grounding cord, clothing, jewelry, cables, or other modules. · Minimize any potential for physical or ESD damage as follows: -- Remove all unnecessary materials in the service area (tools, documents, paper, plastics, polystyrene). -- Avoid clothing that contains more than 80% nonconductive materials (silk or synthetic fiber). -- Do not wear a jacket. Wear a short-sleeve shirt or roll up the sleeves on a long-sleeve shirt. -- Do not wear jewelry. -- Loose clothing, such as a necktie, must be fastened in place. Module Handling, Removal, and Installation/Replacement Procedures D-3 · Before removing a module from an ESD box, place the box on a clean surface. Do not allow the box to fall. NOTE Never place an ESD box on the floor. · Keep the module in the antistatic ESD box until you are ready to install it. · Before removing a module from an ESD box, attach the grounding clip to the ESD box. · If you are replacing a module, put the module you just removed on a grounded ESD workmat on a clean surface in the service area. Put the module side 2 down on the ESD workmat. · Save the ESD box for future use. Store a module in the ESD box until you are ready to install it. · When removing or installing a module, be sure the module does not come into contact with a cable or another module. Also, be sure nothing else touches the module or any module components. · Hold a module only by the handle or by the edges with your hands flat and perpendicular to the circuit board. Do not touch the etch circuit or any components, leads, or connector pins. Do not bend the module. · Do not slide the module across any surface because the leads are fragile and can be damaged. · An ESD sensitive module may come into contact with the following items only: -- Approved ESD workmat -- Antistatic packaging on the ESD workmat -- Tools and test equipment on the ESD workmat -- Chassis being serviced -- Hands of someone wearing an ESD wrist strap D-4 Module Handling, Removal, and Installation/Replacement Procedures D.2 Removing a Module To remove a module (or a T3999 blank module) from a system backplane: CAUTION An ESD wrist strap, ground clip, and grounded ESD workmat must be used as described in Section D.1 whenever you handle the logic modules. 1. Locate the module to be removed. Attach the grounded wrist strap to your wrist. 2. If the module has cables attached, remove the cables. 3. Release the fasteners at the top and bottom of the module handle. Push in each fastener and turn it one quarter turn to the left. 4. Use both hands to remove the module. Pull the module levers to disengage the backplane connector. You may hear a ``snap'' when the connector disengages. 5. Grasp the module handle. Slide the module out of the card cage slot. 6. Put the module in an ESD box or on a grounded ESD workmat. Module Handling, Removal, and Installation/Replacement Procedures D-5 D.3 Installing/Replacing a Module To install/replace a module in the system backplane: CAUTION An ESD wrist strap, ground clip, and grounded ESD workmat must be used as described in Section D.1 whenever you handle the logic modules. 1. Before removing the module from the ESD box, attach a grounding clip to the ESD box. 2. Holding the module only by the handle, remove it from the ESD box. Hold the module vertically with the backplane connector on the right. 3. Guide the edges of the module into the upper and lower tracks of the card cage slot. Gently push the module and slide it into position. 4. Use both hands to seat the module. Press the module levers at the top and bottom with equal force. You may hear a ``snap'' when the module is fully seated. 5. Secure the fasteners at the top and bottom of the module handle. Push in each fastener and turn it one quarter turn to the right. 6. Attach any cables that must be connected. 7. Make sure the cables are connected correctly and verify installation procedures. 8. Contact the responsible customer representative, system manager, or application manager before you power on the system cabinet. 9. When you are ready, power on the system cabinet by turning the ac circuit breaker to the ON (up) position.
