Each disk ISE within an SF-series enclosure is independently controlled from the OCP on the front of the enclosure. A power supply in the enclosure provides the dc power and cooling for all disk ISEs installed in the enclosure. The SF3x storage enclosure (Figure 1-2) holds up to 12 RF3x series ISEs. There are six slots in the front of the enclosure and six slots in the rear. Disk ISEs installed in these slots plug directly into a backplane, which is cabled to a connector tray on the top rear of the storage enclosure. The SF3x enclosure can be configured in through-bus mode or split-bus mode. In through-bus mode, the six ISEs in the front of the SF3x enclosure are connected to a single DSSI bus, and the six ISEs on the rear of the SF3x enclosure are connected to a second DSSI bus. In split-bus mode, each end of the enclosure (front and rear) is further divided into left-side ISEs and right-side ISEs, each connected to a separate DSSI bus. Thus, in split-bus mode there are four DSSI buses, each with three drives connected to it. The SF7x series storage enclosure (Figure 1-3) holds either two or four RF7x series ISEs. The ISEs in the SF7x storage enclosure can also be configured in split-bus or through-bus mode. In through-bus mode, all four disk ISEs are connected to a single DSSI bus. In split-bus mode, the left-side ISEs are connected to one DSSI bus, while the right-side ISEs are connected to a second DSSI bus.

Before installing the DECarray, make sure the following conditions are met: · The DECarray cabinet requires 3-phase ac power. Each phase draws up to 7.2 amperes in a fully configured array. · Adequate space is provided around the DECarray cabinet for opening the front and rear doors, for accessing cables, and for adequate airflow. · The installation site floor can safely bear the weight of the DECarray cabinet. The DECarray cabinet with power controller weighs 180 kilograms (396 pounds); a fully configured DECarray weighs 454 kilograms (1000 pounds). · The system's configuration sheet has been correctly filled out and is up-to-date. Blank system configuration sheets can be found in Appendix E. · An adequate number of DSSI adapter modules are installed in the system to support all the DSSI devices in the DECarray. · The correct NEMA plug or plugs are available (Figure 2-1). DECarray Site Preparation 2-1 DECarray Site Preparation Figure 2-1 NEMA Plugs (for 881 and 887 Power Controllers) 2-2 DECarray Site Preparation DECarray Site Preparation Proper grounding between the DECarray and any enclosures connected through a common DSSI bus is required. ------------------------------------------------------------ WARNING ------------------------------------------------------------ If the enclosures are not connected to a common ground, there is a potential for a personal safety hazard. ------------------------------------------------------------ If the ground offset voltages generated in the power distribution system exceed allowable limits, data transmission across the DSSI bus can be affected. In this case, the system(s) could experience significant performance degradation or possible data corruption. For a DSSI installation, the maximum ground offset voltage differential allowed between enclosures is as follows: ------------------------------------------------------------ DSSI Bus Length 1 ------------------------------------------------------------ Allowable Offset ------------------------------------------------------------ Meters Feet DC AC ------------------------------------------------------------ Up to 20 Up to 65 200 mv 70 mv (rms) 20-25 65-82 40 mv 14 mv (rms) ------------------------------------------------------------ 1 The total length includes all DSSI cable lengths, internal and external to the enclosures. ------------------------------------------------------------ Ensure that the power distribution systems meet local codes prior to DSSI system installation. In a properly wired power distribution system(s) with properly functioning equipment (no ground faults) connected to it, there is generally no need for any further attention to grounding. The power distribution system provides a satisfactory path between enclosures. To make sure that this is the case, perform a power system survey before installation. Check for the following conditions: 1. Do any outlets being used not have power ground connections? 2. Is the grounding prong missing on any of the computer equipment power cords? 3. Are any of the power outlet neutral connections actually ground connections? 4. Are the grounds for any of the power distribution circuits (outlets) not connected to the same power distribution panel? DECarray Site Preparation 2-3 DECarray Site Preparation 5. Are any devices that are not UL or IEC approved connected to the same breaker as any of the DSSI computer equipment? If the previous conditions do not exist, then the grounding should be adequate for DSSI operation. Digital recommends that the ground offset voltage between any two enclosures be measured. However, this only provides data for that particular moment in time. Ground offset values may change as additional devices are connected to the same power source. If the installation exhibits ground offset voltages between interconnected enclosures that exceed the allowable limits, use one of the following solutions: 1. Have an electrician correct any deficiencies detected during the power system survey. This is the recommended solution. 2. Install grounding cables between enclosures. Grounding cables are available from Digital, and come with the necessary hardware for installation. Installing additional grounding cables normally reduces the ground voltage offset sufficiently to meet the requirements. In severe cases, however, the cables may not be large enough. This is revealed by the ground offset voltage measurements. If the additional grounding cables are not adequate, the source of the ground offset voltage must be traced and either reduced or eliminated. 2-4 DECarray Site Preparation 3 ------------------------------------------------------------ Unpacking the DECarray Before unpacking the DECarray cabinet, make sure that the site is ready to receive it. Refer to Chapter 2 for site preparation information and to Chapter 1 for specifications. This chapter describes how to: · Unpack the DECarray cabinet (Section 3.1) · Remove the DECarray cabinet from the shipping pallet (Section 3.2) · Place the DECarray cabinet with the system (Section 3.3) · Level the DECarray cabinet (Section 3.4) · Inspect the DECarray cabinet before installation (Section 3.5) Unpacking the DECarray 3-1 Unpacking the DECarray 3.1 Unpacking 3.1 Unpacking The DECarray cabinet is packed in a cardboard carton attached to a wooden shipping pallet and covered with plastic protection. ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ Before unpacking the equipment, inspect the shipping carton for signs of external damage.

Storage enclosure positions are numbered from 1 to 8 on the left and right chassis side rails. These numbers are visible only when the front or rear doors of the DECarray cabinet are open. SF3x storage enclosures can only occupy positions 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, and 8. In split-bus mode the ISEs occupying the left-side slots share a DSSI bus, and the ISEs occupying the right-side slots a different DSSI bus. This is true for the front six ISEs and the rear six ISEs. Therefore, a fully-populated SF3x enclosure in split-bus mode will have four DSSI buses, each with three ISEs connected to it. Four DSSI adapter ports are required for each SF3x storage enclosure. 5-4 Installing the SF3x Storage Enclosure in a DECarray Cabinet Installing the SF3x Storage Enclosure in a DECarray Cabinet 5.2 Where to Install the SF3x Storage Enclosure Figure 5-1 DECarray Storage Enclosure Locations Installing the SF3x Storage Enclosure in a DECarray Cabinet 5-5 Installing the SF3x Storage Enclosure in a DECarray Cabinet 5.3 Checking the System Configuration Sheet 5.3 Checking the System Configuration Sheet Locate the system configuration sheet.

These procedures assume that the DECarray cabinet previously has been correctly installed and configured. The SF7x storage enclosure that you are installing may contain two or four RF7x disk ISEs. To determine if the SF7x contains two or four ISEs, open the front door of the DECarray cabinet and look at the front of the SF7x enclosure. If both sides of the enclosure contain an ISE, then the enclosure contains four ISEs (SF7x-JK variant). If there is an ISE on only one side of the SF7x enclosure, then that enclosure contains only two ISEs (SF7x-HK variant). The following procedures are described in this chapter: · Installing the SF7x Storage Enclosure (Section 6.1) · Cabling the SF7x (Section 6.6) Single-system configuration (Section 6.6.1) DSSI VAXcluster configuration (Section 6.6.2) Stripeset configuration (Section 6.6.3) · Powering up the SF7x (Section 5.6) · Labeling the DSSI cables and OCP (Section 5.7) · Final verification (Section 6.9) Only Digital Services or customer personnel that have been trained in ESD procedures should perform the installation.

The first step explains how to: · Unpack, inspect for damage, and identify parts · Determine where to install the SF7x enclosures · Read and fill out the system configuration sheet The next step explains how to install the SF7x enclosure itself: · Prepare the DECarray cabinet to receive an SF7x storage enclosure · Install the supporting hardware and SF7x, and set the DSSI ID switches · Cable the SF7x storage enclosure to comply with the DSSI bus cabling conventions The last step explains how to: · Power up the SF7x enclosure, run the power-on self-test, and run the configuration programs · Label all cables and operator control panels · Verify the operation of the enclosure after a successful installation Follow all these steps in the order they are presented, and do not skip any steps. Installing the SF7x Storage Enclosure in a DECarray Cabinet 6-3 Installing the SF7x Storage Enclosure in a DECarray Cabinet 6.1 Installing the SF7x Storage Enclosure When the DECarray will operate in a single-system configuration, the SF7x enclosures in positions 1, 2, 4, and 7 operate in the through-bus mode. To check if the SF7x enclosure is in through-bus mode, look at the lower of the two LEDs on the OCP (labeled LED 2: SPLIT-BUS MODE). It should be off. When the DECarray will operate in a DSSI VAXcluster configuration, all enclosures must be configured in the through-bus mode. Positions 3 and 8 operate in the split-bus mode and require you to reconfigure their transition termination module (TTM). The procedure for doing this is presented later in this chapter. To check if the SF7x enclosure is in split-bus mode, look at the lower of the two LEDs on the OCP (labeled LED 2: SPLIT-BUS MODE). It should be lit. 6.2 Unpacking the SF7x Storage Enclosure Unpack the SF7x shipping container.

Plug the main power cable of the DECarray into its power receptacle. ------------------------------------------------------------ WARNING ------------------------------------------------------------ Hazardous voltages are in the DECarray and in the components of the DECarray. When performing any operation involving the power source, turn off the power controls of all components and on the power controller. Disconnect the power cable from the source outlet. Perform the operation, then reconnect the power cable to the source. ------------------------------------------------------------ 2. Connect the 108-inch DSSI cable or cables (PN BC22Q-09) from the DECarray DSSI I/O panel to the appropriate system DSSI connector. a. At the system DSSI connector, remove the terminator or terminators (part number 12-29258-01). See Figure D-9. Store these terminators in the ESD pouch on the rear door of the DECarray cabinet. b. The following is a list of system DSSI connectors (Figure D-9): · DSSI Bus 0 (embedded adapter, also connects to internal TF and RF ISEs) · DSSI Bus 1, Model 300 only (embedded adapter, TF and RF ISEs) · KFQSA 1 (first installed adapter in the Q-bus backplane, RF ISEs only) · KFQSA 2 (second installed adapter in the Q-bus backplane, RF ISEs only) Connect DSSI bus 0 of either DSSI VAXcluster system through the DECarray and then to DSSI bus 1 on the other DSSI VAXcluster system. This allows for the maximum number of embedded ISEs in a DSSI VAXcluster configuration.
