However, because the two systems are very similar, references to the DECmpp 12000 system also apply to the DECmpp 12000-LC system, unless specific differences between the two systems are noted. Three types of notes are used in this manual: · Note Gives additional information or information particularly important to the procedure. · Caution Indicates potential damage to equipment or data. · Warning Indicates potential injury to a person. x 1 ------------------------------------------------------------ Introduction DECmpp 12000/Sx Introduction DECmpp 12000/Sx Series systems are powerful single-instruction, multiple data (SIMD) computers, consisting of a data parallel unit (DPU), which performs the parallel calculations, and a front-end server, running the ULTRIX operating system. A high-speed VMEbus interface carries data between the DPU and the front-end server. The DPU contains the array control unit (ACU) printed circuit board (PCB) and from 1 to 16 processor element (PE) array PCBs. The ACU controls the PE arrays, which perform the parallel calculations. Each PE array PCB provides 1024 processor elements. The total collection of PE array PCBs in a system comprise the PE array. DECmpp 12000 systems support 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 PE array PCBs and have 15 I/O slots for optional I/O PCBs. The DPU is housed within an H9A00 series enclosure. DECmpp 12000 systems can be ordered with either a DECsystem 5900 server or a DECstation 5000/240 server. The DECsystem 5900 is contained within a separate H9A00 series enclosure. This configuration is illustrated in Figure 1-1. The DECstation 5000/240 is contained within two desktop boxes, one for the CPU and one for storage expansion. This configuration is illustrated in Figure 1-2. DECmpp 12000-LC systems support 1, 2, or 4 PE array PCBs and have 5 I/O slots for optional I/O PCBs.

Figure 3-13 shows the DECmpp 12000/Sx card cage access. The DECmpp 12000-LC/Sx DPU has similar access. System Hardware Installation 3-15 3.4 Data Parallel Unit Installation Figure 3-12 Array Control Unit Jumpers To open the DPU rear door, use the 5/16 inch hex wrench supplied with the system. 3.4.3.1 Data Parallel Unit Card Cage Slots The DPU card cage is divided into two dedicated blocks: one for I/O PCBs and the other for PE array and router PCBs as shown in Figure 3-14. In the I/O section, the first slot on the left always holds the ACU PCB. The second I/O slot is configured to support the Front-end VME interface (MVIB). The other slots are for I/O or VMEbus PCBs mounted on a Parallel VME 6U Adapter PCB. The PE array PCBs must be in contiguous slots, starting with the first PE array slot on the left. If the number of PE array PCBs changes, the system must be rejumpered, as described in the DECmpp 12000/Sx Hardware Service Manual, "Upgrading Processor Element Arrays" chapter. ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ All PE array PCB slots that do not contain a PE array PCB must contain a router PCB. The DECmpp 12000/Sx and DECmpp 12000-LC/Sx systems will not work if any PE array slot is empty. ------------------------------------------------------------ 3-16 System Hardware Installation 3.4 Data Parallel Unit Installation Figure 3-13 DECmpp 12000/Sx System and Card Cage (Rear View) System Hardware Installation 3-17 3.4 Data Parallel Unit Installation Figure 3-14 Data Parallel Unit Card Cage Slots 3-18 System Hardware Installation 3.4 Data Parallel Unit Installation 3.4.3.2 Installing the PCBs Follow these steps to install the DPU PCBs: ------------------------------------------------------------ Caution ------------------------------------------------------------ Observe anti-static precautions. ICs may be damaged if anti-static straps are not worn. ------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Open the DPU rear door. 2. Strap on the anti-static device (wrist or ankle strap). 3. Remove the upper and lower PCB retainer bars (horizontal bars across PCB face plates). The DECmpp 12000-LC/Sx DPU has only one bar. 4. Before installing the ACU PCB: a. Verify the jumper configuration on the ACU PCB, discussed in Section 3.4.2.1. b. Make sure the ACU crystal oscillator is firmly seated on the PCB as shown in Figure 3-12. 5. The ACU PCB goes in the leftmost slot in the DPU card cage. The Front-end VME interface PCB (MVIB) goes into slot IO00 (the slot next to the ACU PCB). This assembly is actually two PCBs, the T6000 VMEbus controller PCB mounted on a Parallel VME 6U Adapter PCB. All PE array PCBs are installed from left to right. The balance of the PE array slots (not filled with PE array PCBs) must be occupied by router PCBs. ------------------------------------------------------------ Caution ------------------------------------------------------------ Although you might have to push firmly to seat a PCB, avoid forcing PCBs when installing them. ------------------------------------------------------------ 6. Replace the upper and lower PCB retainer bars. 3.4.4 Data Parallel Unit Backplane Jumpers Jumpers are installed on the DPU backplane for both the I/O and the PE array slots. As MPVMEbus I/O devices are added and removed, corresponding jumpers above each I/O slot must be added and removed. The X-Net jumpers are factory- set for your PE array configuration as shipped. When upgrading to a larger PE array configuration, refer to the DECmpp 12000/Sx Hardware Service Manual for upgrade procedures and locations of the PE array X-Net jumpers. Refer to Figure 3-15 and Figure 3-16. Each I/O slot, IO01 through IO14, has a set of pins above it which allow certain MPVMEbus signals to be jumpered past those slots that are not occupied by PCBs. Going from right to left, ensure that the set of three jumpers have been removed from above all IO01 through IO14 slots that are occupied by MPVMEbus PCBs. Conversely, ensure that jumpers are installed above all unoccupied I/O slots up to, but not including, the slot containing the last I/O PCB. Slots after (to the left of) the last occupied I/O slot may or may not have the jumpers installed. It is of no consequence.

The following sections describe the DPU controls and the various status indicators. Figure 3-20 shows the front controls. Figure 3-21 shows the rear controls. 3.5.1 Front Controls and Indicator To access the front controls in the DECmpp 12000 configuration, open the front door. The front controls are located inside, near the top of the enclosure. To access the front controls in the DECmpp 12000-LC configuration, open the front door. The front controls are located at the top outer surface of the inner front door. Figure 3-20 Data Parallel Unit Front Controls · POWER keyswitch--The POWER keyswitch has three settings: ------------------------------------------------------------ OFF (straight up) turns DPU power off. ------------------------------------------------------------ ON (middle position) turns DPU power on when the power selector switch is set to LOCAL. ------------------------------------------------------------ DIAGNOSTIC (lower position) is similar to ON, but also enables the VMEbus RESET button. · MODEM switch--The MODEM switch has two settings: ------------------------------------------------------------ CONNECT enables the internal DPU system modem and allows remote support access. ------------------------------------------------------------ DISCONNECT disables the modem. · RESET pushbutton--Resets the VMEbus if the keyswitch is set to DIAGNOSTIC. 3-26 System Hardware Installation 3.5 DPU Controls and Indicators · POWER indicator--Located at the top left front of the DPU enclosure, POWER indicates the condition of the power supply. It is amber during the power up sequence, and green when the DPU has powered up correctly. When you first turn on the DPU, this indicator is amber for approximately 3 seconds, then it changes to green. Any other behavior indicates a malfunction. 3.5.2 Rear Controls and Indicators Rear controls and indicators are accessed from the rear of the DPU enclosure by opening the rear door (Figure 3-21). Figure 3-21 Data Parallel Unit Rear Controls and Indicators · POWER SELECTOR switch--The POWER selector switch is on the power tray rear panel (inside the DPU enclosure at the lower rear), above the rectangular extension connecting the power tray to the DPU lower-rear panel. It is a toggle switch that must be pulled out slightly before it can be moved. The POWER selector switch has three positions: ------------------------------------------------------------ LOCAL (middle position): Turns on the DPU independent of the server. ------------------------------------------------------------ OVERRIDE (straight up): Turns on the DPU, regardless of other conditions. System Hardware Installation 3-27 3.5 DPU Controls and Indicators ------------------------------------------------------------ REMOTE (lower position): Not used. ------------------------------------------------------------ Warning ------------------------------------------------------------ OVERRIDE is for factory use only. Do not use this setting. It overrides critical safety systems. ------------------------------------------------------------ · Two circuit breakers are at the rear of the DPU. The rocker switch next to the power cable is a 30A breaker that is ON when it is UP. The amber lamp above the rocker switch indicates that there is power on both sides of the 30A breaker. The small rocker type breaker controls the current to the circuits controlling the power sequencer. The breaker trips when it detects loads of more than 1 A and pops out. To reset it, push it back in. · The powerup sequencer turns on the -5 V power supply when the DPU is powered on and verifies its correct operation before turning on the +5 V power supply. It also checks the +12 and -12 V power supplies. During this period (approximately 3 seconds), the power indicator is amber. When the sequencer turns on the +5 V power supply, the power indicator turns green. If the power indicator remains amber, the power-up sequencer did not complete its sequence successfully, indicating there is a problem. You should contact Digital Services for assistance. 3.6 Powering Up the DPU for the First Time ------------------------------------------------------------ Caution ------------------------------------------------------------ When initially installing the DPU, a check of all power supply voltage levels must be made. This can prevent installation problems. ------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Open the front and back doors of the DPU. 2. Before proceeding, remove each PCB from the backplane in both the upper and lower card cages. While wearing an anti-static strap, unplug all PCBs from the backplane one inch and allow them to rest in the card cage. 3. Completely remove and replace all blank filler panels. This insures that they are seated properly in their tracks. Filler panels are installed in place of PCBs to aid in proper cooling air flow. 4. Ensure that there are no shorts in the DC voltage supply system. With an ohmmeter, check the +5V, -5V, +12V, and -12V connections at the DPU backplane with respect to ground. Figure 3-22 shows the test points. A zero ohm reading indicates a short and must be investigated before applying power. 3-28 System Hardware Installation 3.6 Powering Up the DPU for the First Time Figure 3-22 DPU Backplane Voltage Test Points 5. Plug the power cable into the source of power. 6. Turn the 30 A circuit breaker ON. 7. Set the power selector switch to LOCAL. 8. Turn power on to the DPU with the keyswitch. 9. Ensure that the front POWER indicator goes from off to yellow, then finally to green. 10. The data parallel unit (DPU) has four power supply voltage output levels: +5 V, -5.2 V, +12 V, and -12 V. Measure these voltages at the DPU backplane, at the test points shown in Figure 3-22 with a digital voltmeter. System Hardware Installation 3-29 3.6 Powering Up the DPU for the First Time For DECmpp 12000/Sx systems adjust the voltage levels at the points shown in Figure 3-23. For DECmpp 12000-LC systems adjust the voltage levels at the points shown in either Figure 3-24 or Figure 3-25, depending on the power supply used in the system. ------------------------------------------------------------ Warning ------------------------------------------------------------ Physical tolerances are very tight at the power supply. 5 V current levels are in the 600 A range. Do not short the power supply leads to ground or to other power supply leads. Do not use conductive adjustment tools. Use only insulated tools.

Installation Checklist A-1 B ------------------------------------------------------------ Power Cable Wiring and Replacement Appendix B describes the procedure for replacing the DECmpp 12000/Sx power cable. B.1 Power Cable Wires DECmpp 12000/Sx systems shipped outside of the United States are equipped with a power cable terminated with a NEMA L6-30P connector. To conform to local wiring standards, you may need to do one of the following: · Connect the DPU power cable to a local adapter. · Replace the power plug with one that conforms to local codes. · Replace the DPU power cable and connector with a local power cable and connector with a power handling rating equal to, or greater than, the original. Table 2-2 lists alternate power cables and connecting plugs required by local country codes. ------------------------------------------------------------ Warning ------------------------------------------------------------ To avoid injury and damage to equipment, make sure all equipment is unplugged before working on any power cable. Also, make sure all changes are inspected by a qualified electrician familiar with local codes. ------------------------------------------------------------ B.1.1 Wire Ends When connecting the power cable wire ends to a plug, always connect green to ground, white to neutral, and black to hot (live). B.1.2 Replacing the Power Cable If necessary, the system power cable can be replaced to conform to local codes. Refer to the following procedure. ------------------------------------------------------------ Warning ------------------------------------------------------------ To avoid injury and damage to the equipment, never work on the cable wiring while any part of the system is connected to power. ------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Make sure the server, the DPU, and the optional disk array are all powered off. 2. Set the DPU rear panel circuit breaker OFF. 3. Remove the AC plug from the source of power. Power Cable Wiring and Replacement B-1 B.1 Power Cable Wires 4. Remove the old cable as follows: a. Remove six screws (four in front and two in rear) that secure the power tray to the frame and lower air plenum. b. Slide the power tray toward the front of the DPU just enough to give yourself enough room to work on the power input box. Do not strain any of the DC power or sense cables. c. Remove the screws that secure the power input box to the rear of the power supply. d. Remove the power cable leads from the ground stud and the terminal block. Loosen the screws that are recessed into the top of the terminal block; this loosens the power leads. Remove the leads from the terminal block but do not retighten the screws yet. e. Loosen the strain relief fitting by turning the locking nut clockwise. f. When the strain relief fitting is loose, feed the cable through the hole and out of the power input box. 5. Feed the new cable in through the strain relief fitting. 6. Connect the power cable ground lead to the ground stud. 7. Connect the hot (live) power cable leads to the connectors of the terminal block you just removed the old wires from as follows. a. Feed the power cable leads into the holes in the right side of the terminal block. b. You are connecting to a 220 Vac circuit with hot and neutral leads. Connect HOT to the side of the terminal block with the RED corresponding wire on the opposite side. Connect NEUTRAL to the side of the terminal block with the BLACK corresponding wire on the opposite side. Do not deviate from these connection instructions. c. Tighten the screws on top of the terminal block until the power cable leads are fastened securely. ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ Before you tighten the strain relief fitting, feed a little extra cable into the power input box so there is no strain on the terminal block connections. ------------------------------------------------------------ 8. Tighten the strain relief fitting by turning the lock nut. 9. Reattach the power input box to the power tray. 10. Slide the power tray back into place and secure it with the six screws removed earlier.
