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 for all disk ISEs installed in the enclosure. A blower fan provides air flow for cooling. The SF3x storage enclosure (Figure 1-3) holds up to twelve 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 in 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. 1-6 Introduction Introduction 1.2 SF3x and SF7x Storage Enclosures Overview Figure 1-3 SF3x Series Storage Enclosure Introduction 1-7 Introduction 1.2 SF3x and SF7x Storage Enclosures Overview The SF7x series storage enclosure (Figure 1-4) 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. The SF-series storage enclosures have the following features: · Both can operate in one of two modes; through-bus or split-bus. · Each disk ISE has its own set of switches and indicators on the operator control panel (OCP). · The enclosure power supply provides operating power to all disk ISEs and other subassemblies in the enclosure. · The drive dc power switches for the disk ISEs are on the front panel of the storage enclosure. Table 1-4 shows the power requirements for the enclosures.

Before installing the DECarray cabinet, make sure the following conditions are met: · The DECarray cabinet requires three-phase ac power. Each phase draws up to 24.0 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. See Figure 2-1 for specific space requirements. · The installation site floor can safely bear the weight of the DECarray cabinet. The DECarray cabinet with power controller weighs 228 kilograms (500 pounds); a fully configured DECarray cabinet weighs 635 kilograms (1400 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 A. · An adequate number of DSSI adapter modules are installed in the system to support all the DSSI devices in the DECarray cabinet. · The correct NEMA plug or plugs are available (Figure 2-2). DECarray Site Preparation 2-1 DECarray Site Preparation Figure 2-1 Minimum Clearance Required for Installation 2-2 DECarray Site Preparation DECarray Site Preparation Figure 2-2 NEMA Plugs for 881 Power Controller Proper grounding between the DECarray cabinet and any enclosures connected via 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 systems could experience significant performance degradation or possible data corruption. DECarray Site Preparation 2-3 DECarray Site Preparation For a DSSI installation, the maximum ground offset voltage differential allowed between enclosures is: ------------------------------------------------------------ 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 systems with properly functioning equipment connected to it (no ground faults), there is generally no need for any further attention to grounding. The power distribution system provides a satisfactory path between enclosures. To ensure 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? 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. It is recommended 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. 2-4 DECarray Site Preparation DECarray Site Preparation If the installation exhibits ground offset voltages between interconnected enclosures which 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 Equipment Corporation, and come with the necessary hardware for installation. Installation of additional grounding cables normally reduce 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.

When performing any operation involving the power source(s), turn the power controls of all storage elements and power controllers to the ``off'' position. Next, disconnect the power cable(s) from the source outlet(s). Perform the operation, then reconnect the power cable to the source. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ CAUTION ------------------------------------------------------------ This DECarray cabinet may have two power controller cords. To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect power before servicing. To completely remove power from the equipment, disconnect the two power controller cords from their source(s). To remove power from an individual storage device inside the equipment, disconnect the individual power supply cord at the internal storage device. Configuring, Cabling, and Labeling the DECarray Cabinet 4-1 Configuring, Cabling, and Labeling the DECarray Cabinet To remove power from an individual power controller, disconnect the external power supply cord that supplies that power controller. ------------------------------------------------------------ 4.1 Configuration Overview The SF400 DECarray cabinet is designed for very flexible configuration of storage device locations and cabling. The array can support single, dual, or triple host configurations, with the hosts located on one or both sides of the DSSI buses. The DECarray cabinet is preconfigured at the factory as a single-host system. The storage devices are cabled, terminated, and configured as through-bus or split-bus, as appropriate. The configuration is easily changeable to dual-host or triple-host by relocating cable connections and terminators. 4.1.1 Typical Configurations Typical cabling configurations are shown in Figure 4-1 through Figure 4-8 for one KFMSA controller in a VAX 6000/7000 system with two complete DSSI buses. KFQSA controllers in VAX 4000 systems are cabled in the same manner, but have only one DSSI bus per controller. Each DSSI bus supports up to eight devices, including the controllers. Cabling for multiple controllers in each CPU simply repeats in the same manner as the first controller. RF7x storage devices can contain up to four drives in through-bus mode or two drives on each of the two DSSI buses in split-bus mode. RF3x storage devices can contain up to six drives on each of two DSSI buses or up to three drives on each of four DSSI buses, for a total of 12 drives per RF3x storage device. Refer to the RF7x and RF3x owners manuals for details on their internal bus configurations. 4-2 Configuring, Cabling, and Labeling the DECarray Cabinet Configuring, Cabling, and Labeling the DECarray Cabinet 4.1 Configuration Overview Figure 4-1 Single Host Configuration Figure 4-2 Single Host Split Configuration Figure 4-3 Middle Node 2-Host Configuration Configuring, Cabling, and Labeling the DECarray Cabinet 4-3 Configuring, Cabling, and Labeling the DECarray Cabinet 4.2 Cable Routing Figure 4-4 Middle Node 3-Host Configuration Figure 4-5 End Node 2-Host Configuration with SF7x 4.2 Cable Routing The SF400 DECarray cabinet does not have a DSSI bulkhead.

Table 5-3 Loading Sequences ------------------------------------------------------------ Tapes SFxx Storage Enclosures Power Controllers ------------------------------------------------------------ 5-6 3-4 Rear 7-8 5-6 Front 1-2 7-8 9-10 ------------------------------------------------------------ 5.2 Installing TF8x7-Series Tape Drives The TF8x7-series tape drive is mounted in the SF400 DECarray cabinet with one chassis rail, as shown in Figure 5-1. The chassis rail is attached to the cabinet's internal vertical rails, and it supports the TF8x7-series tape drive from one side. Grooves machined into the side of the tape drive enclosure mate with flanges along the sides of the chassis rail, allowing the tape drive to be slid onto the chassis rail from the front of the cabinet. Once installed, the tape drive enclosure extends from the front to the rear of the SF400 DECarray cabinet. Two TF8x7-series tape drives can be mounted side-by-side at a given vertical position in the cabinet. The chassis rail hardware is the same for both the left and right mounting positions. Only the orientation of the hardware differs between the two mounting positions. There is no mechanical connection between two tape drives mounted side-by-side in the cabinet. In situations where only one TF8x7-series tape drive is being installed at a given vertical position in the cabinet, the tape drive must be installed in the right mounting position. This will ensure that the front panel of the tape drive mates with the correct opening in the tape bezel in the cabinet door. A filler panel in the door covers the left mounting position in this case.

The chassis rail is attached to the cabinet's internal vertical rails, and it supports the SF7x enclosure from one side. Grooves machined into the side of the enclosure mate with flanges along the sides of the chassis rail, allowing the enclosure to be slid onto the chassis rail from the front of the cabinet. Once installed, the SF7x enclosure extends from the front to the rear of the SF400 DECarray cabinet. Two SF7x enclosures can be mounted side-by-side at a given vertical position in the cabinet. The chassis rail hardware is the same for both the left and right mounting positions. Only the orientation of the hardware differs between the two mounting positions. There is no mechanical connection between two SF7x enclosures mounted side-by-side in the cabinet. In situations where only one SF7x enclosure is being installed at a given vertical position in the cabinet, the enclosure must be installed in the right mounting position. This will ensure that the front panel of the enclosure mates with the correct opening in the bezel in the cabinet door. A filler panel in the door covers the left mounting position in this case. ------------------------------------------------------------ WARNING ------------------------------------------------------------ While working in the cabinet interior, ac power must be removed from cabinet components. Failure to do so may result in personnel injury as a result of electric shock. ------------------------------------------------------------ Installing the SF7x Storage Enclosure in a DECarray Cabinet 6-5 Installing the SF7x Storage Enclosure in a DECarray Cabinet 6.2 Installation Procedure Figure 6-1 SF7x Storage Enclosure Installation 6-6 Installing the SF7x Storage Enclosure in a DECarray Cabinet Installing the SF7x Storage Enclosure in a DECarray Cabinet 6.2 Installation Procedure Prior to performing any of the procedures in this chapter, remove ac power from cabinet components. If the cabinet is installed and operating, spin down all disk drives and halt all tape drives in the cabinet. Switch the circuit breaker on the front panel of the cabinet's CDU(s) to the (OFF) position. 6.2.1 Accessing the Cabinet Rack Space SF7x enclosures can normally be installed without removing cabinet side panels. To route the cabling in configurations where access to the interior of the cabinet is limited, however, cabinet side panels may need to be removed. Section 6.2.2 presents procedures for removing and replacing exterior cabinet panels. The front and rear cabinet doors are held closed by door locks mounted on each door. The locks are released by turning counterclockwise with a 5/32-inch hex wrench. 6.2.2 Removing the Cabinet Side Panels As shown in Figure 6-2, there are three side panel hanger clips on each side of the cabinet. A matching set of hanger clips are attached to each side panel. Remove the side panels as follows: 1. Move the cabinet away from adjacent enclosures as necessary. 2. Loosen the top cover by pushing up on its front and rear edges until it snaps free of its fasteners. ------------------------------------------------------------ WARNING ------------------------------------------------------------ The top cover is heavy and awkward to lift. Removing it is a two- person task. Failure to use sufficient personnel may result in injury or equipment damage. ------------------------------------------------------------ 3. Using two persons, lift the top cover from the cabinet and set it aside. 4. Remove the bolts attaching the side panels to the top side rails of the cabinet. 5. Grasp a panel along its front and rear edges and lift up until the hanger clips disengage. Lift the panel away from the cabinet. 6. Repeat the previous step to remove the other panel.

In split-bus mode, the ISEs occupying the left-side slots share a DSSI bus, and the ISEs occupying the right-side slots share 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. Figure 7-1 shows you where to install the enclosures in the DECarray cabinet.

The chassis rail is attached to the cabinet's internal vertical rails, and it supports the SF3x enclosure from one side. Grooves machined into the side of the enclosure mate with flanges along the sides of the chassis rail, allowing the enclosure to be slid onto the chassis rail from the front of the cabinet. Once installed, the SF3x enclosure extends from the front to the rear of the SF400 DECarray cabinet. Two SF3x enclosures can be mounted side-by-side at a given vertical position in the cabinet. The chassis rail hardware is the same for both the left and right mounting positions. Only the orientation of the hardware differs between the two mounting positions. There is no mechanical connection between two SF3x enclosures mounted side-by-side in the cabinet. In situations where only one SF3x enclosure is being installed at a given vertical position in the cabinet, the enclosure must be installed in the right mounting position. This will ensure that the front panel of the enclosure mates with the correct opening in the bezel in the cabinet door. A filler panel in the door covers the left mounting position in this case. ------------------------------------------------------------ WARNING ------------------------------------------------------------ While working in the cabinet interior, ac power must be removed from cabinet components. Failure to do so may result in personnel injury as a result of electric shock. ------------------------------------------------------------ Prior to performing any of the procedures in this chapter, remove ac power from cabinet components. If the cabinet is installed and operating, spin down all disk drives and halt all tape drives in the cabinet. Switch the circuit breaker on the front panel of the cabinet's CDU(s) to the OFF position.

To route the cabling in configurations where access to the interior of the cabinet is limited, however, cabinet side panels may need to be removed. Section 7.4.2 presents procedures for removing and replacing exterior cabinet panels. The front and rear cabinet doors are held closed by door locks mounted on each door. The locks are released by turning counterclockwise with a 5/32-inch hex wrench. 7.4.2 Removing the Cabinet Side Panels As shown in Figure 7-6, there are three side panel hanger clips on each side of the cabinet. A matching set of hanger clips are attached to each side panel. Remove the side panels as follows: 1. Move the cabinet away from adjacent enclosures as necessary. 2. Loosen the top cover by pushing up on its front and rear edges until it snaps free of its fasteners. ------------------------------------------------------------ WARNING ------------------------------------------------------------ The top cover is heavy and awkward to lift. Removing it is a two- person task. Failure to use sufficient personnel may result in injury or equipment damage. ------------------------------------------------------------ 3. Using two persons, lift the top cover from the cabinet and set it aside. 4. Remove the bolts attaching the side panels to the top side rails of the cabinet. 5. Grasp a panel along its front and rear edges and lift up until the hanger clips disengage. Lift the panel away from the cabinet. 6. Repeat the previous step to remove the other panel.

Two round standoffs are used to locate the chassis rail along the vertical cabinet rails. The round standoffs are inserted into front and rear chassis rail locating holes to position the chassis rail while it is fastened to the cabinet. ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ Standoff location holes, front and rear, both sides, are holes 3, 15, 27, 39, and 51 as shown in Figure 7-7. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ Two small ESD grounding posts are provided with the cabinet. One is located on a front vertical cabinet rail, and one on a rear rail. Should an ESD grounding post interfere with the installation of the chassis rail, move the post out of the way to any free hole on the cabinet. ------------------------------------------------------------ 7.5.1 Chassis Rail Assembly Before the chassis rail components can be mounted in the cabinet, they must be assembled. Assemble the chassis rail components as follows (see Figure 7-8): 1. Position the rail bracket against the chassis rail, as shown in the illustration. 2. Fasten the rail bracket to the chassis rail with the unbeveled nut bar and 4 screws, as shown. Leave the screws loose enough to allow the rail bracket to be moved along the chassis rail. 3. Install a U-nut in the groove near the end of each of the beveled nut bars. The flat side of the U-nuts must be on the beveled side of the nut bar. 4. Install the beveled nut bars on the chassis rail and rail bracket, using the round standoffs to hold them in place. The beveled side of the nut bars must face the flanges on the chassis rail and rail bracket. 5. The chassis rail assembly is now ready to be installed in the cabinet.

Installing the SF3x Storage Enclosure in a DECarray Cabinet 7-47 8 ------------------------------------------------------------ Installation Troubleshooting This chapter explains what to do if you detect problems with one or more SF-series storage enclosure(s) during the installation of the DECarray cabinet. The procedures in this chapter involve taking ISEs on and off line. This causes a failure in the communications with the ISEs affected, resulting in potential user problems. For this reason, the system manager should perform an orderly shutdown of all DSSI ISEs before any troubleshooting. Refer to the service or maintenance manuals for the affected ISEs. 8.1 Troubleshooting the Storage Enclosure This section presents symptoms of a failed device, the probable cause or causes of the failure, and the corrective action to take for correcting the failure. Much of the corrective action calls either for taking a device or devices off line or for removing power from the enclosure containing the failed device. ------------------------------------------------------------ WARNING ------------------------------------------------------------ Take all ESD and safety precautions when handling the devices, especially when taking a device off line or when removing a device. Failure to do so may damage the device. ------------------------------------------------------------ Use the following basic steps for all troubleshooting that you perform for a disk ISE in an SF-series storage enclosure, as it resides in a DECarray cabinet: 1. Inspect the ISE's operator control panel (OCP). Is a Fault indicator lit? In the case of an SF7x storage enclosure, press the Fault button and read the error code. 2. Access the ISE in question.
