The nameplate on the front of the system unit shows which model you have. Figure 1-1. Typical DECstation 5000 Model 100 Series workstation The only difference between the three models is the central processing unit (CPU) module. The CPU in the Model 120 workstation operates at a speed of 20 megahertz (MHz), the CPU in the Model 125 operates at a speed of 25 MHz, and the the CPU in the Model 133 operates at a speed of 33 MHz. 1-2 Getting Started In addition to the manual you are reading, you should have ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Any options you ordered. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Any software you ordered. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ All the items shown in Figure 1-2, on page 1-4, with one exception. You should only have one type of video cable assembly: color, monochrome, or gray-scale. However, you may have more than one cable assembly of that type. Save the cartons that your workstation is packed in. You may need them later. Getting Started 1-3 Figure 1-2. Parts of a basic workstation 1-4 Getting Started Workstation Site Requirements For your workstation to function efficiently, your work environment must meet the requirements listed here. Caution: Failure to meet these requirements can damage equipment. Temperature ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Keep the temperature around the workstation between 50°F and 104°F (10°C and 40°C). - Set up your workstation away from heaters, photocopiers, and other sources of heat. - Protect your workstation from direct sunlight. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Allow air to flow freely around your workstation to keep heat from building up and damaging your equipment. - Leave 4 inches (10 centimeters) of space between system unit vents and other objects. - Leave 3 inches (7.6 centimeters) of space between monitor vents and other objects. Humidity ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Keep relative humidity within the range of 10 to 80 percent. Cleanliness ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Keep your work area as dust-free as possible. Inter ference ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Set up your workstation at least 30 inches (76.2 centimeters) away from other terminals or monitors and from other sources of electrical interference, such as printers or electric pencil sharpeners. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Limit exposure to static electricity and magnetized objects by setting up your workstation away from busy corridors and other high-traffic areas and away from filing cabinets and steel beams in walls. Getting Started 1-5 Power ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ The fuse for your outlet must be at least 15 amperes. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Be sure your electrical circuit is properly grounded. If possible, use a surge-protected power strip to connect the power cord to your workstation. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Be sure the voltage for workstation devices matches that of your power source. Supplies ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Store supplies, such as tape cartridges, within the same temperature and humidity limits as those for your workstation. 1-6 Getting Started Workstation Voltage Requirements The voltage for many devices, including most monitors, must match that of your power source. Your power source is either 110/120 or 220/240 volts. Where necessary, a yellow voltage label that covers the power connector on your device tells you the voltage requirements for that device. Caution: Connecting a device to a power source that does not meet the voltage requirements of that device can damage the device. Figure 1-3. Voltage labels Getting Started 1-7 2 ------------------------------------------------------------ System Unit, Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, and Tablet This chapter explains ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ What connectors, controls, and indicator lights are present on the system unit and monitor and what they do ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ How to connect the monitor, keyboard, and mouse or tablet to the system unit ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ When to use the monitor power cord instead of the monitor- to-system-unit power cable ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ How to connect the system unit power cord and the monitor-to-system-unit power cable or the monitor power cord System Unit, Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, and Tablet 2-1 The System Unit The system unit sits flat on a level surface with the monitor on top of or next to it.

Where to install drives in the system unit To install drives in external storage boxes, see Chapter 8, ``External Storage Devices''. 5-26 Internal Hardware Options Understanding SCSI ID Numbers The workstation distinguishes each internal and external drive connected to a small computer system interface (SCSI) connector by the SCSI ID number (0 to 6) assigned to that drive. Each drive comes from the factory with a SCSI ID number already set. These factory settings, called default settings, are listed in Table 5-1. Table 5-1. Default SCSI ID Numbers for Internal Drives ------------------------------------------------------------ Drive Type Default Setting ------------------------------------------------------------ RZ23L Hard disk 2 (and 3)* RZ24 Hard disk 2 (and 3)* RZ25 Hard disk 2 (and 3)* RRD42 Compact disc drive 4 RX23 Diskette drive 5 RX33 Diskette drive 5 TZK10 Tape drive 5 * If the system contains two RZ23L, RZ24, or RZ25 drives, the ID numbers are preset to 2 and 3 at the factory. ------------------------------------------------------------ Setting the SCSI ID numbers on your drives Each drive within a group (or chain) of drives must have its own unique SCSI ID number (0 to 6), in order to function properly. To avoid the problem of duplicate SCSI ID numbers within the same group, don't use more than one drive that has the same default setting. To check for duplicate SCSI ID numbers, you must examine the settings on your drives, as shown in Appendix D of this guide. Internal Hardware Options 5-27 To Install a Drive in the System Unit All internal hard disk drives are installed in the same way. 1. Unpack the hard disk drives. 2.

Choose a SCSI ID number (0 to 6) for the drive. Choose a number that is different from any SCSI ID numbers noted in the DEV column of the display. a. Read the device codes that you wrote down. In the example, tz1. was written. b. Choose any number from 0 to 6 that is not the same as the numbers in the device codes. In the example, we can choose 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6, because the only number in the device codes is 1. In this example, assume that we chose 2. c. Write down the new number on the same paper where you wrote the device codes. 2. Use a pair of needle-nose pliers to set the SCSI ID on the drive that you are installing. Set the ID to the new number that you chose by arranging the SCSI switches or jumpers to indicate the number. Jumpers are small rectangular collars that fit over the ID pins on drives and other components. If your drive uses jumpers, the jumpers are already on the pins, and you have to arrange them appropriately. In Appendix D, Figures D-1 through D-7 show how to arrange the jumpers on each hard disk drive. They also show the connectors for the power supply and SCSI cables.

If a drive is in the bracket, make sure the ends of the cables are correctly plugged into the connectors on the drive. If there is no drive, tuck the ends of the cables into the bracket. 15. Carefully lower the end of the bracket onto the two posts that hold the bracket. 16. Tighten the two captive screws on the end of the bracket until they are at least finger tight. 17. Tighten the two captive screws that hold the front drive panel on the system unit until they are at least finger tight. 18. Remove the antistatic wrist strap. 19. Replace the cover on the system unit, as shown in Figure 5-1, on page 5-3. 20. Turn on the system unit and monitor and check the workstation with the cnfg command. To Install a Removable Media Drive Inside the System Unit To install a removable media drive in the front drive panel, you need medium flat-blade and Phillips screwdrivers, and you may need small needle-nose pliers. Unpack the removable media drive 1. Follow the instructions that came with your worksystem software to shut down the software. 2. Type cnfg 3 and press Return. The workstation displays the configuration for the system unit, which is called base slot 3. Internal disk drives are connected to base slot 3. Here is an example configuration display.

In the example, we wrote rz2 and tz1. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Choose any number from 0 to 6 that is not already used in the device codes displayed on the screen in the DEV column. In this example, we can choose 0, 3, 4, 5, or 6 because the numbers in the device codes are 1 and 2. In this example, assume that we chose 4. Internal Hardware Options 5-43 ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Write down the new number on the same paper where you wrote the device codes. 2. Use a pair of needle-nose pliers to set the SCSI ID number on the drive that you are installing. Set the new SCSI ID number that you chose by arranging the SCSI switches or jumpers to that number, as illustrated in Appendix D of this guide. If your drive uses jumpers, the jumpers are already on the pins, and you have to arrange them appropriately. Each removable media drive must have its own unique SCSI ID number to function properly. Caution: Some drives have extra switches and pins. The drives use them for other settings, and you should not change them. For example, on the RRD42 optical compact disc drive, the pin on the left adjusts the drive for your worksystem operating system. The drive is shipped to you with a jumper on the pin, and you should leave the jumper there. Figure D-6, on page D-6, shows the RRD42 drive. Install the removable media drive in the front drive panel 1. Turn off the system unit by pressing the 0 on the on/off switch on the back of the unit. 2. Remove the cover from the system unit, as shown in Figure 5-1, on page 5-3. Figure 5-24, on page 5-45, shows the inside of a system unit without a drive. 5-44 Internal Hardware Options Figure 5-24.

The section ``To Remove a Drive from the Front Drive Panel'', on page 5-53, lists the steps to take. 4. Loosen the two captive screws at the end of the drive bracket. Captive screws cannot be removed. 5. Loosen the two captive screws that hold the front drive panel to the system unit. Internal Hardware Options 5-45 6. Pull up carefully on the end of the drive bracket. If the power supply and SCSI cables are threaded through the cutout in the end of the drive bracket, ease them through the cutout as you pull up, as shown in Figure 5-4, on page 5-6. 7. Carefully remove the front drive panel from the system unit. Set it next to the system unit. 8. Slide the removable media drive that you are installing into the drive bracket from the front of the front drive panel. Figure 5-25. Inserting a removable media drive into the drive bracket 9. Use a flat-blade screwdriver to tighten the screws on both sides of the drive bracket. There are two screws on each side. You may have to push the screws in first, so that they fit into the threaded holes in the drive. Close the system unit 1. Insert the tabs on the bottom edge of the front drive panel, as shown in Figure 5-4, on page 5-6, into the cutouts in the bottom of the system unit. 2. Lower the end of the drive bracket far enough to thread the power supply and SCSI cables through the large cutout in the drive bracket. Hold the drive bracket with one hand as you thread the cables through the cutout with your other hand. 5-46 Internal Hardware Options 3. Still holding the drive bracket, carefully press the middle lengths of the power supply and SCSI cables down into the system unit, so that they won't interfere with the drive bracket when you lower it further. If the system unit has internal, hard disk drives, carefully press the cables around the drives. 4. Lower the end of the drive bracket all the way onto the two posts that support it. If you cannot seat the end of the bracket on the posts, you probably didn't press the power supply and SCSI cables all the way down into the system unit. Raise the end of the bracket and arrange the cables again. 5. Tighten the two captive screws on the end of the drive bracket until they are at least finger tight. 6. Tighten the two captive screws that hold the front drive panel to the system unit. 7. Look carefully at the SCSI connectors on the SCSI cable. Find the key on the cable connector. The SCSI connector on some drives has a slot for the key on the cable connector, and the cable connector fits only one way. The connector on other drives does not have that slot, but you should still hold the cable connector so that the key faces up. Always pull on the flap when you remove SCSI connectors. Internal Hardware Options 5-47 Figure 5-26. SCSI cable connector 8. Plug the SCSI cable connector into the drive. 9. If the notch on the connector on the drive is on the bottom edge, plug the SCSI cable straight into the connector. 10. If the notch on the connector on the drive is on the top edge, roll the end of the SCSI cable around the terminator. Then plug the SCSI cable into the connector on the drive. 5-48 Internal Hardware Options Figure 5-27. Plugging the cable straight into the connector Caution: If you install the SCSI cable as shown in Figure 5-27 be careful when you replace the system unit cover. The cover can catch the end of the cable and disconnect the cable from the drive. A way to avoid catching the cover is to tuck the SCSI terminator into the large rectangular cutout in drive bracket. 11. Plug the power supply cable connector into the power supply connector on the drive. The connectors are shaped so that they fit together only one way, as shown in Figure 5-21, on page 5-36. 12.

The devices can be any of the following: ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Any drive installed in a BA42 expansion box ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ A TK50Z tape drive ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ A TLZ04 digital audio tape drive ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ An RRD40 optical compact disc drive ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Any internal drives that attach to the SCSI connector The external drives are contained in expansion boxes that connect together to form a chain. The chain attaches to the SCSI connector on the back of the system unit. Figure 8-1. Typical storage expansion boxes 8-2 External Storage Devices Installing and Removing External Storage Devices To Install External Storage Devices Connect external storage devices to form a chain, including as many as seven devices in each chain. Each device must have a separate SCSI ID number so the workstation can identify the device. If your workstation has more than one SCSI connector, distribute the devices among all the SCSI connectors on the system unit. For example, if you have seven devices, one base system SCSI controller, and one TURBOchannel SCSI controller option module, install three drives on one SCSI connector and four drives on the other. External Storage Devices 8-3 Set up your storage expansion boxes 1. Place the external drives for each chain as near as possible to the SCSI connector to which you will attach the chains. 2. For each expansion box, locate these cables and termina- tors: ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ One system-unit-to-expansion-box cable that has a different connector at each end ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ One expansion box terminator ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ One power cord for each expansion box you are using ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ One 18-inch box-to-box expansion cable with identical connectors at each end for every expansion box except the last box at the SCSI connector Figure 8-2 shows the cables that you should use. Cable lengths are listed in Table 8-1, on page 8-5. Figure 8-2. Expansion box cables and an expansion box power cord and terminator 8-4 External Storage Devices Do not use more than 236 inches (6 meters) of cable, including the cable inside the expansion boxes and system unit, to connect a chain of drives. If the chain has more than 236 inches of cable, some of the data stored on the drives may be lost. Table 8-1 lists the length of the cables that you are using. The table is as accurate as possible, but actual lengths may vary by an inch or two. Table 8-1. SCSI Cable Lengths ------------------------------------------------------------ Cable Length ------------------------------------------------------------ Internal cable for the base system SCSI connector 52 inches (132.1 centimeters) Expansion box internal cable --For TK50Z tape/drive --For RRD40 optical compact disc drive --For TLZ04 tape drive 14 inches (35.6 centimeters) 6.5 inches (16.5 centimeters) 38 inches (96.5 centimeters) 50-pin to 50-pin box-to-box cable 26 inches (66.0 centimeters) 68-pin to 50-pin system-unit-to-expansion-box cable 74 inches (188.0 centimeters) ------------------------------------------------------------ Set the SCSI switches for each device You can assign any ID number to a device, as long as you ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Use the numbers 0 to 6. The numbers do not have to be consecutive. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Use each number only once per chain. For example, use the numbers 3 and 4 instead of using 4 twice. Figure 8-3, on page 8-6, shows the SCSI switches on the drive expansion boxes that can connect to a TURBOchannel SCSI controller module. Table 8-2, on page 8-7, lists the SCSI ID settings for the drive expansion boxes. External Storage Devices 8-5 Figure 8-3. Expansion box SCSI switches 8-6 External Storage Devices Table 8-2.

Self-tests are programs that check your workstation hardware to be sure that it is functioning properly. Self-tests have numerous subtests that examine specific workstation components. When a subtest discovers a problem, it displays a coded message, called an error message, on the screen. When all the tests are done, the workstation displays the console prompt (>>). How to Run a Self-Test ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ The workstation runs a small set of power-up self-tests automatically when you turn on the power. It can run two versions of the set, depending on the setting of the testaction environment variable. Chapter 11, ``Environment Variables'', on page 11-22, explains how to set environment variables. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ You can run the full set of self-tests, collectively called the system self-test, at any time. However, you must shut down your ULTRIX worksystem software first. To do so, type shutdown -h now at the ULTRIX prompt and press Return. Then, at the console prompt (>>), type test and press Return. 10-14 Troubleshooting How to Interpret Self-Test Messages Self-tests display error messages when they discover problems in the hardware. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ If the slot number is 0, 1, or 2, the problem is in the TURBOchannel option slot that has the same number. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ If the slot number is 3, the problem is in the base system hardware. Copy the messages and then look for them in Table 10-3, on page 10-16. This table explains how you can probably fix the problem. If you cannot fix it, call your system manager or Customer Support Center. Here is a sample error message, with an explanation of every part: ! " # $ % & ?TFL: 3/ni/promisc (903: LANCE-start timeout.) [KNO2-BA] ! Indicates that this is a test failure message. You can fix problems when the error message begins with TFL. " Slot number of the hardware that reported a problem. # Subtest that found the problem. $ Part of the subtest that found the problem. Some messages do not have this information. % Explanation of the problem. & ID of the module in the slot. Troubleshooting 10-15 Table 10-3.

Copy the entire message and call your system manager or Customer Support Center. fpu The math coprocessor in the CPU module is faulty. Copy the entire message and call your system manager or Customer Support Center. mem RAM is faulty. Make sure that all memory modules are firmly seated in their connectors in the system unit. Then run the memory test. Type t 3/mem * and press Return. The memory test checks every memory module, taking several minutes for each one. If it finds a problem, it displays one of two types of message. The first type of message has this format: ?TFL: 3/mem (PER, cause=0000001C, DBE = 004000c, Bank 1, D16-31, d23-d16) The message identifies the faulty memory modules. The bank number is the number of the memory slot. Bank 1 is the bank number in the example. Bank numbers can be 0 to 7. Bank 0 is the memory slot nearest the back of the system unit; bank 7 is the slot nearest the front. The SIMM number is the memory module in the slot. D16-31 is the SIMM number in the example. SIMM numbers can be D0-15 or D16-31. D0-15 is the memory module next to the power supply; D16-31 is the memory module away furthest the power supply. You should replace every memory module for which an error message appears. Chapter 4 explains how to replace memory modules. If the messages show that all memory modules are faulty, remove all of them. Then install at least 8 megabytes of memory with new memory modules and run the system memory test again. If the test still reports a problem, copy the entire message and call your system manager or Customer Support Center. The second type of message that the memory test displays has this format: ?TFL: 3/mem (@ A04000000=55550055, sb 55555555) (continued on next page) 10-16 Troubleshooting Table 10-3 (Cont.).

Console mode lets you use the setup and testing software that is built into the workstation. Operating mode lets you use your worksystem software. This manual explains how to use the workstation in console mode. Your worksystem software manuals explain how to use the workstation in operating mode. Using Console Mode The workstation starts in console mode and stays in that mode until you start your worksystem software. While you are in console mode, you can use the console commands, which are the commands of the built-in setup and testing software. You enter console commands at the system console. If you connected only one monitor to your workstation, that monitor is your system console. If you connected multiple monitors, the monitor in the TURBOchannel option slot with the lowest number is the system console. If you connected a separate system console, such as a VT320, and you have typed setenv console s, that console is your system console. You use console mode and console commands for such tasks as ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Running workstation self-tests ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Displaying workstation hardware configurations ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Setting workstation environment variables ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Booting (starting) the operating system To choose console mode, take one of the following actions: ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ If you are using ULTRIX worksystem software, type shutdown -h now at the ULTRIX prompt and press Return, or ------------------------------------------------------------ Caution: If you do not shut down ULTRIX, you may lose the work that you were doing. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Press the halt button on the back of the system unit, or 11-2 Using the Console Commands ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Turn off the power to the system unit and turn it back on again. Caution: Turning off the power or pressing the halt button with your workstation and any worksystem software running may result in the loss or corruption of data. Console prompts When you use console mode, the workstation displays one of these two prompts on the system console screen: >> or R>. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ The >> prompt means that the workstation is in privileged mode. Anyone can use all the console commands. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ The R> prompt means that the workstation is in restricted mode. Users who don't know the password can use only the boot and password console commands. Using Operating Mode You use the workstation in operating mode most of the time, because that is the mode for using your worksystem software. This software consists of an operating system and applications. You use it for such activities as ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Running applications in DECwindows ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Backing up files ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Sending and receiving electronic mail Using the Console Commands 11-3 To choose operating mode, boot (start) the operating system in either of these ways: ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Type boot at the console prompt and press Return, or ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Set the worksystem software to boot the operating system automatically. For either of these procedures to work, you must set the boot environment variable for your workstation and set the haltaction environment variable to b. Until you set these variables, you must use the boot command. This chapter explains how to use the boot command and how to set the environment variables. When you start in operating mode, you must supply your worksystem software user name and password. Your worksystem software manuals explain how to use operating mode. 11-4 Using the Console Commands Typing Console Commands You can use the console commands when the system monitor displays the prompt >> or R>. Follow these rules: ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Type uppercase and lowercase letters exactly as they appear in this manual. The system recognizes uppercase and lowercase letters as different input. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Press Return after typing a command. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Use these key combinations: ------------------------------------------------------------ Ctrl-s freezes the screen display. ------------------------------------------------------------ Ctrl-q releases a frozen screen display. ------------------------------------------------------------ Ctrl-c aborts a command. ------------------------------------------------------------ Ctrl-u erases a partially typed command line. ------------------------------------------------------------ DEL erases the last character typed. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ To type a hexadecimal number, precede the number with 0x (zero x). To type an octal number, precede the number with 0 (zero). To type a decimal number, do not precede the number with any leading 0's (zeroes). ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ To use the Ctrl commands, hold down the Ctrl key while you type the letter of the command. For example, to use Ctrl-s, hold down Ctrl while you type s. Using the Console Commands 11-5 Conventions Used in This Chapter ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Letters in boldface type like this should be typed exactly as they appear. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Words in italic type like this OR LIKE THIS are options and arguments for the commands. You have to replace them with the appropriate information. For example, the script command has a scriptname argument. When you type the command, you replace scriptname with the name of the script that you are typing. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Options are read by the console programs, whereas arguments are read by the worksystem software. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ When options and arguments are shown in brackets, you should use them only if they are appropriate. When they are not in brackets, you must use them all the time. For example, the printenv command is shown like this: printenv [env] Because [env] is enclosed in brackets, you should use it only when it is appropriate, which in this case is when you want to display the setting of one environment variable. The script command is shown like this: script scriptname Because scriptname is not shown in brackets, you must include it in every script command. Do not enclose options and arguments in brackets when you type them. The brackets are just this manual's way of showing you when to use options and arguments. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ When an argument is followed by an ellipsis (...), you can use more than one argument with the command. 11-6 Using the Console Commands Console Commands This section explains all of the console commands, but you will probably use only a few of them. The rest are for system managers, service representatives, and other technical specialists. Table 11-1 lists the console commands. Table 11-1.

To display the help menu, type a question mark (?) and press Return. boot [[-z #] [-n] #/path [ARG...]] cat SCRPT cnfg [#] d [-bhw] [-S #] RNG val e [-bhwcdoux] [-S #] RNG erl [-c] go [ADR] init [#] [-m] [ARG...] ls [#] passwd [-c] [-s] printenv [EVN] restart script SCRPT setenv EVN STR sh [-belvS] [SCRPT] [ARG..] t [-l] #/STR] [ARG..] unsetenv EVN The following sections describe the console commands in detail. Note that the command descriptions do not always use the format that appears in the help menu. 11-8 Using the Console Commands Description of the Console Commands To use a console command, type the command as shown, add appropriate options and arguments, and press Return. For clarity, the console prompt (>>) precedes the format descriptions. ? >>? [command] The ?, or help, command displays the list of console commands, as shown on page 11-8. If you name a specific command, the screen displays the help message for that command only. boot >>boot [OPTIONS] [#/path] [argument...] Options can be -a Use a multiuser bootstrap. -n Load, but do not execute, path program. -z number Wait for number seconds; then boot. The boot command loads and executes the program specified by #/path, where # is the slot number of the device that you are booting from, and path is the file specification of the program. The -a argument boots for a multiuser environment; to perform a single user boot, enter the boot command without the -a argument. The -n option suppresses execution of the program after it is loaded. The -z option causes the system to wait before booting. When you enter the command with no options, path, or argument, it uses the options, path, and argument in the boot environment variable (see ``Environment Variables'' on page 11-22). Using the Console Commands 11-9 The following example of the boot command uses the options and arguments set in the boot environment variable: boot The following command boots from a tape drive (tz5) in base slot 3; tz5 is the SCSI code of the drive: boot 3/tz5 The following command boots from the network that is connected to your workstation at option slot 2: boot 2/mop The following example shows a multiuser boot (-a) using the vmunix file on an internal drive (rz1) in base slot 3; rz1 is the SCSI code of the drive: boot 3/rz1/vmunix -a cat >>cat #/scriptname The cat command displays the contents of the script specified by scriptname. The # argument indicates the number of the slot where the script is stored. 11-10 Using the Console Commands cnfg >>cnfg [#] The cnfg command displays important information about the configuration of your workstation. The information tells you what kind of hardware is in the workstation and connected to the workstation. If you type a slot number for [#], the command displays configuration information for that slot. Otherwise, it displays general information for all the slots. Here is an example of the general information: >>cnfg 3: KN02-BA DEC V5.7e TCF0 ( 24 MB) (enet: 08-00-2b-0f-45-72) (SCSI = 7) 0: PMAG-AA DEC V5.3d TCF0 (CX -- D=8) 1: PMAD-AA DEC V5.3d TCF0 (enet: 08-00-2b-0f-45-31) Figure 11-1.

Table 11-2, on page 11-14, explains the codes. The system module slot, base slot 3, always contains three modules: memory (MB), Ethernet (enet), and SCSI (SCSI). The module code for memory shows the total amount of memory installed in the workstation. The7 is the SCSI ID of the SCSI controller for the slot. $ Device code with SCSI ID number of the device. For example, in the code rz4, 4 is the SCSI ID number. % Product ID. Some devices show a product ID in this column, but others do not. 11-12 Using the Console Commands & Device descriptor. This is a general description of the device. There are three device descriptors: DIR for direct access drives, such as hard disk and floppy drives; SEQ for sequential access drives, such as tape drives; and CD-ROM, for optical compact disc drives. ' Memory slot number. ( Amount of memory in the slot. The amount can be 4 or 16 megabytes. All slots should have the same amount of memory, because all memory modules in a workstation should be the same size. Table 11-2 shows module codes, including examples of codes for some TURBOchannel option modules. For more information about specific option modules, refer to the documentation that came with the module. Using the Console Commands 11-13 Table 11-2. Module Codes ------------------------------------------------------------ Code Description ------------------------------------------------------------ MX Monochrome frame buffer. CX Color frame buffer. PX 2D graphics accelerator. DA: PXG Low 3D graphics accelerator. Installed in two adjacent slots, but shown as being installed in the lower- numbered slot. EA: PXG Mid 3D graphics accelerator. Installed in two adjacent slots, but shown as being installed in the lower- numbered slot. FA: PXG_T High 3D graphics accelerator. Installed in all three slots, but shown as being installed in slot 1. SCSI SCSI module. Base slot 3 always has a SCSI module. enet: Ethernet module. Base slot 3 always has a ThickWire Ethernet module. Every Ethernet module has a unique Ethernet station address that identifies the module for the network software. The long number after enet: in the parentheses is the Ethernet station address. For example, the Ethernet address for the module in slot 1 in the sample display is 08-00-2b-0f-45-72. 24 MB Memory module. Base slot 3 always contains a memory module. The number indicates how many megabytes of memory are installed. In the sample display, the system unit has 24 megabytes of memory. ------------------------------------------------------------ 11-14 Using the Console Commands Table 11-3 shows the device codes and device descriptors of SCSI devices. Table 11-3. SCSI Device Codes and Descriptors ------------------------------------------------------------ Device Code Device Descriptor Type of Drive ------------------------------------------------------------ rx DIR Floppy disk and diskette rz CD-ROM Optical compact disc rz DIR Hard disk tz SEQ Tape ------------------------------------------------------------ d >>d [OPTIONS] RANGE value Options can be -w Word (default) -h Halfword -b Byte -S count Repeat deposit count times Ranges can be address Single address address:address Start and end address address#count Start address and count range,range More than one range The d, or deposit, command writes values to memory. Values can be stored as words, halfwords, or bytes. The default option is word. The command writes the specified value through the range of specified addresses. No intervening blanks are allowed in an address range. You can specify the address range as follows: ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ A single address (address). ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ A starting and an ending address (address:address). ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ A starting address and the total number of addresses (address#count). Using the Console Commands 11-15 ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Multiple address ranges separated by commas (range,range). Note that no space follows the comma in an address range. The -S option causes a value to be stored repeatedly in memory. The value is stored count times at each address in the address range. e >>e [OPTIONS] RANGE Options can be -w Word (default) -h Halfword -b Byte -S count Repeat examine count times -x Display in hexadecimal format -o Display in octal format -u Display in unsigned decimal format -d Display in decimal format -c Display as ASCII characters Ranges can be address Single address address:address Start and end address address#count Start address and count range,range More than one range The e, or examine, command examines the contents of memory. Memory can be examined as words, halfwords, or bytes. The default option is word. The e command examines values in the range of addresses specified. You can specify the address range as follows: ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ A single address (address). ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ A starting and an ending address (address:address). ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ A starting address and the number of addresses (address#count). 11-16 Using the Console Commands ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Multiple address ranges separated by commas (range,range). Note that no intervening space follows the comma in an address range. You can choose how to display the memory data with the format options -x, -o, -u, -d, and -c. You can use more than one option, in which case the data is displayed in every format that you choose. If you do not indicate a format, the system displays the data in hexidecimal format. The -S option fetches the contents of each address in the address range count times. The screen displays only the final value in each range. erl >>erl [-c] The erl command displays the log of error messages. The system records error messages in a special error log buffer, and the erl command displays the contents of this buffer. If you specify -c, the buffer is cleared. The system stops recording error messages when the buffer is full and resumes when the buffer is cleared. go >>go [address] The go command transfers control of the workstation to the specified address. If you do not specify an address, go uses the execution address returned by the last boot -n command. If the boot -n command has not been executed and no address is specified, the system ignores the go command. init >>init [#] [argument...] The init command initializes module hardware. If you specify a slot number (#), the command initializes the modules in that slot only. Arguments are specific to each module. Using the Console Commands 11-17 ls >>ls [#] The ls command displays a list of the files in a module ROM. If you do not specify a slot number (#), the command lists the files for all modules. passwd >>passwd [OPTIONS] Options can be -s Set a new console password. -c Clear the console password. Use the passwd command to enter, set, or clear your console password. The console password keeps unauthorized people from using the console commands on your workstation. You do not need to use the password if security is not an issue in your workplace. When you first set up your workstation, you do not need a console password. The only way that a console password can be required is if you choose to start using one. 1 To start using a console password, type passwd -s and press Return. The system displays a prompt (pwd:) asking you to type the password that you want to use. Type a word with at least six characters. You can use letters and numbers; the system recognizes the difference between uppercase and lowercase letters. The system displays the pwd: prompt twice. Type the same password each time. For the sake of security, the screen does not display what you type, so type something that is easy to remember. Once you choose a password, the system displays the restricted console prompt R> when you first start up your workstation. ------------------------------------------------------------ 1 The console password is not the same as the passwords required by your worksystem software or networks. The console password protects your workstation hardware by controlling access to the console commands. 11-18 Using the Console Commands At this prompt, you can only boot your worksystem software or enter your console password. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Boot your worksystem software. Type boot and press Return. This is the only boot command that you can use. It has no options or arguments. It uses the values that you set in the boot environment variable (see ``Environment Variables'', on page 11-22). If you have not set the boot variable, the command does not work. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Enter your console password. Type passwd and press Return. Then type your console password at the pwd: prompt. For the sake of security, the screen does not display what you type. After you enter your console password, the prompt changes to the standard console prompt (>>), and you can use all the console commands that are described in this chapter. To stop using your console password, type passwd -c at the standard console prompt and press Return. You will then have unrestricted access to the console commands. printenv >>printenv [env] The printenv command displays the values of environment variables. If you specify the name of an environment variable, the command displays the value of only that variable. See ``Environment Variables'', on page 11-22 for more information. restart >>restart The restart command attempts to restart the worksystem software. This command relies on a restart facility in the worksystem software that you have to enable. Using the Console Commands 11-19 script >>script scriptname The script command allows you to write a short, temporary script, or small program, at the system console. After you write the script, you can run it with the sh command, or you can type the name scriptname of the script alone. To write a script, type script and a name for the script. Then press Return. Then write the script line by line. When you are done, go to a new line and press Return. setenv >>setenv env value The setenv command sets the value of an environment variable. Note that you must enclose the command in double quotation marks if value contains blank spaces. See ``Environment Variables'' on page 11-22 for more information. sh >>sh [OPTIONS] [#/scriptname] [argument...] Options can be -e Exit on error. -b Branch to script. -v Verbose; echo to console. -S Suppress script-not-found errors. -l Execute in a loop. (Note that this option is the letter ``l,'' not the number 1.) The sh, or shell, command activates, or runs, a script. Replace # with the slot number of the module that contains the script. If you specify a script name for scriptname, the script is used as the input. Otherwise, what you type at the console is the input, and a subshell is created. When you run a shell script, environment variable 0 is set to the script name, 1 is set to the first argument in the script, 2 is set to the second argument, and so on. 11-20 Using the Console Commands The -e option directs the shell to exit when an error occurs. Normally, the shell ignores errors. The -b option executes the script specified by scriptname instead of creating a subshell. The -v option causes the script to be echoed to the console when it is executed. The default option is no echo. The -S option suppresses any error message if the script is not found and causes the sh command to return a status that indicates success. The -l option causes a script to be executed continuously until a system reset occurs or you press Ctrl-c. t >>t [OPTIONS] #/testname [argument...] Options can be -l Execute in a loop. (Note that this option is the letter ``l'' and not the number 1.) The t, or test, command runs module tests. Specify a test with #/testname, where # is the slot number and testname is a module-specific test. The -l option makes the test run continuously until a system reset occurs or you press Ctrl-c. If the t command is part of a script, the system console displays #/testname as each test is run. To display the tests and test formats for a specific module, type t #/?, where # is the slot number of the module. Type test to run the script that performs a thorough test of the entire system. Typing test is a shorthand way of typing sh 3/test. If you type sh -l 3/test, the test runs continuously. unsetenv >>unsetenv env The unsetenv command deletes the value of an environment variable. See ``Environment Variables'' on page 11-22 for more information. Using the Console Commands 11-21 Environment Variables Environment variables store system parameters and scripts and pass information to the operating system. Some environment variables stay in memory, but others are lost when you turn off the power. Table 11-4 summarizes the console commands for setting environment variables. Table 11-5 lists the standard environment variables that you can set. Table 11-4. Console Commands for Environment Variables ------------------------------------------------------------ Command Description ------------------------------------------------------------ printenv Displays the value of environment variables setenv Sets the value of an environment variable unsetenv Deletes the value of an environment variable ------------------------------------------------------------ Table 11-5. Environment Variables Set by the User ------------------------------------------------------------ boot 1 Specifies arguments for the boot command (see page 11-9). console 1 Chooses the system console. You normally do not set this variable, instead leaving your monitor and keyboard set as the system console. This ``blank'' setting and any setting other than s also select autoconfiguration, which causes the system module to scan the rest of the hardware on the workstation so that the module can use the hardware correctly. Autoconfiguration makes the monitor in the lowest- numbered option slot the system console. If the option slots do not contain any graphics modules, communications connector 3 is the system console slot. To display the language menu on the system console, set console to zero. If more than one monitor is connected to the system unit, the monitor in the lowest-numbered slot is the system console. ------------------------------------------------------------ 1 These environment variables stay in memory until you delete them. (continued on next page) 11-22 Using the Console Commands Table 11-5 (Cont.). Environment Variables Set by the User ------------------------------------------------------------ haltaction 1 Specifies what happens when you press the halt button or turn on the power: b Boots the worksystem software, as specified by the boot environment variable. h Halts the worksystem software and displays the console prompt. r Restarts the worksystem software. If the restart fails, boots the software. more Specifies the greatest number of lines of text that can fit on the screen at one time. When text scrolls on the screen, the system stops the scrolling at the number of lines that you set. If you set the number to zero, the text scrolls continuously. testaction 1 Controls the power-up self-test: t Specifies a thorough (but slow) testing of the system. q Specifies a quicker but less thorough test. m Specifies manufacturing tests. You should not use this setting. # The number of the module that contains the current script. If no script is active, the system module is assumed. ------------------------------------------------------------ 1 These environment variables stay in memory until you delete them. ------------------------------------------------------------ There are other environmental variables. Some, like oconsole, should not be changed. Others can be set as implementation- specific side effects of various bootstrap and test procedures.

Depending on the type of drive you are installing, different methods may be required to set the SCSI ID switches that set the SCSI ID numbers. Some drives use toggle switches to set the SCSI ID numbers, and other drives use a system of pins and jumpers, as shown in Figures D-1 through D-7. To set the SCSI ID numbers on your drives, you may need medium flat-blade and Phillips screwdrivers and small needle- nose pliers. Setting SCSI ID Switches D-1 Figure D-1. Jumper settings for an RZ23L hard disk drive D-2 Setting SCSI ID Switches Figure D-2. Jumper settings for an RZ24 hard disk drive Setting SCSI ID Switches D-3 Figure D-3. RZ25 hard disk drive front jumper settings D-4 Setting SCSI ID Switches Figure D-4. RZ25 hard disk drive side jumper settings The RZ25 has front and side jumpers. Pin 4 on the front jumpers must always be in place. When the side jumpers are used, all pins except pin 4 must be removed from the front jumpers. Setting SCSI ID Switches D-5 Figure D-5.
