Part 1 ------------------------------------------------------------ 1 Site Preparation ------------------------------------------------------------ This chapter provides guidelines for preparing a computer facility for the VAXft system. This chapter provides electrical and environmental specifications that must be observed for optimum performance and are required if the system is maintained under a Digital Equipment Corporation maintenance agreement. The Site Environmental Preparation Guide (EK-CSEPG-MA) provides further information on site planning and computer room environments. This chapter includes: · Site planning guidelines · Floor space requirements · Environmental limits · Power requirements 1-1 1-2 Site Preparation 1.1 Site Planning Guidelines When planning a computer facility, the recommended guidelines are to: 1. Identify space, environmental, and power requirements. 2. Determine whether the computer facility meets the requirements and list necessary enhancements or changes. 3. Prepare the computer facility accordingly. The following steps are recommended: a. Prepare a layout diagram of the installation area. Section 1.2 lists the system dimensions and weights. b. Determine the air quality and cooling capabilities of the installation area. Section 1.3 lists the system temperature and humidity requirements. c. Determine the required number, type, and location of ac power receptacles and circuit breakers. Section 1.4 lists the system power requirements. 1.1.1 Fire and Safety Codes The computer facility should conform to local fire and safety codes. The power distribution panel and master circuit breaker or switch must be easily accessible. For further information on fire and safety codes and practices, refer to the following U.S. National Fire Protection Association publications or to equivalent associations and codes: · Standard for the Protection of Electronic Computer/Data Processing Equipment (NFPA 75) · National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) Site Preparation 1-3 1.1.2 Computer Security Computer security can be important even where confidential work is not common practice. It is advisable to provide a separate computer room or facility, or to improve or extend the existing building security practices. The goal is to provide protection for the computer area against potential damage to the equipment or its programs through carelessness, vandalism, or unauthorized operation. 1.1.3 Data Protection Consider the security of the system media, programs, and databases. Personnel, medical, financial, research, and other sensitive information should be safeguarded from unauthorized access, tampering, or disclosure. Special safeguards should be considered for protecting vital data such as business records or information that is expensive or difficult to duplicate. Important data should be ``backed up'' (copied onto removable media) on a regular basis and stored away from the computer area, preferably in a fireproof storage vault. 1.1.4 Remote Communications The VAXft system supports connections for remote services and facilities. The system provides dial-out capabilities for system-generated service requests and dial-in capabilities for remote users. The customer must provide the necessary number of dedicated telephone lines. NOTE Direct dialing must be used. The telephone lines must not be ``party'' lines (having other users). The telephone lines must not be routed through a switchboard that allows outside interference or could be shut down during hours of computer operation or maintenance. 1-4 Site Preparation 1.2 Floor Space Requirements This section describes the top, front, and rear clearances needed for the installation, operation and maintenance of the VAXft systems. Figure 1-1 shows the footprint of the VAXft model 110 pedestal system. The rackmount system can be installed in a standard 19-inch RETMA rack cabinet. The clearances for the rackmount system are not addressed because they are specific to the rack in which it is mounted. Dimensions and weights for the rackmount system are given in Appendix E. Table 1-1 lists the model 110 cabinet dimensions and weights. Figures 1-2 and 1-3 show the footprints of the model 310 and 410 systems. Table 1-2 lists the model 310 and 410 cabinet dimensions and weights. Figures 1-4 through 1-8 show the footprints of the model 610 and 612 systems.

Factors to consider are availability of an elevator, width and location of doors and aisles along the route, hallway restrictions (bends, slopes, or obstructions), and floor surfaces/protection. If problems require the equipment to be unpacked and removed from the skids, remember that a cabinet is too heavy to be handled by one person. Doors along the route should allow passage for the equipment and be without saddles or sills to allow for the movement of dollies. To protect against marring of the floor surface, a suitable material such as 0.64 cm (0.25 in) plywood should be used to cover the floor along the route. 1.2.2 Layout In advance, prepare the layout of the computer facility to determine the area required for the complete system configuration plus airflow and service access areas. Allow enough space for two console terminals with printers (if so equipped), and for operating access. Remember to consider human factors in the layout. The relationship of the computer system to high-traffic areas or quiet areas, for example, is important. Figures 1-2 through 1-8 show the minimum space requirements for cooling airflow and service access to the system. Figures 1-2 and 1-3 also show the location of the cable access hole (model 310 and 410 only) under the base frame of each cabinet. (Each cabinet uses a separate power cord.) In a raised floor environment, cutouts may be provided in the floor tiles for routing power cords and communication cables. The cutouts need to be large enough to allow the connectors to pass through them. The cutouts should be rounded or have molding to prevent cuts or damage to the cables. 1-16 Site Preparation Important factors to consider include: · System access clearances -- A minimum of 100 cm (39.4 in) is required in front of the cabinets for service and operating access. · Cooling airflow clearances -- A minimum of 61 cm (24 in) is required above and behind the cabinets for cooling intake airflow. NOTE If the system is to be installed in an enclosed space, additional air cooling equipment may be required. · Floor requirements -- The system must rest on a firm surface to allow full exhaust airflow from the bottom. Soft surfaces, such as shag or deep-pile carpeting, must be avoided unless a firm surface (like floor tile) is installed on top of the carpeting. The floor should be made of a material that minimizes static electricity, which can cause computer failures or media damage. · Storage area -- A safe storage area should be provided for magnetic computer media, supplies, documents, spare parts, and maintenance tools. CAUTION Do not place food, beverages, office supplies, or other materials on top of the cabinets. Areas around the system should not be used for storage. 1.2.3 Airflow Figure 1-9 shows the cabinet airflow pattern for the VAXft model 110 pedestal system. Cool air enters through the upper areas of the cabinet and warm air exits from the bottom. The airflow pattern for the rackmount system is not addressed because they are specific to the rack in which it is mounted. Figure 1-10 shows the cabinet airflow pattern for the model 310 and 410 systems. Cool air enters through the upper areas of the cabinets and warm air exits from the bottom. Figure 1-11 shows the cabinet airflow pattern for the model 610 and 612 systems. Cool air enters through the upper and lower vent areas of the cabinets and warm air exits from the rear. The system layout must allow enough cool air to be delivered to the cabinet(s). Position the cabinet(s) so the heated air from one system is not directed into the intake airflow of other systems. Site Preparation 1-17 Figure 1-9 Model 110 Pedestal Cabinet Airflow Pattern 1-18 Site Preparation Figure 1-10 Model 310 and 410 Cabinet Airflow Pattern Site Preparation 1-19 Figure 1-11 Model 610 and 612 Cabinet Airflow Pattern 1-20 Site Preparation 1.2.4 Raised Floor Environment Raised flooring is frequently used in an air-conditioned computer facility. A raised floor provides optimum cooling, and reduces hazards and obstructions caused by power cords and cabling at computer installations. The cutouts in the floor tiles must be large enough to allow the connectors to pass through them and should be rounded to protect the cables. Do not position the system directly over cool air outlets, perforations, or grills. 1.3 Environmental Limits The limits described in this section must be observed for maximum availability. The VAXft system is designed and tested for operation within the environmental limits shown in Tables 1-4, 1-5, and 1-6. Figure 1-12 shows the overall environmental test limits for VAXft systems. 1.3.1 Temperature and Humidity A computer system may generate heat that cannot be dissipated without the use of air cooling equipment. The ideal computer room is capable of: · Heating the room with all equipment off · Cooling all equipment with all the equipment operating at maximum capacity on the warmest day · Humidifying/dehumidifying the room within predetermined limits under all anticipated weather conditions Low humidity allows static electricity to build up, while high humidity promotes corrosion. Both can affect storage media and should be avoided (Figure 1-12). Temperature and humidity should be monitored and recorded at all times. The relative humidity may be increased or decreased, as necessary, using humidification/dehumidification equipment.

The air conditioning system should filter the air to minimize dust, pollen, and other air contaminants. If salt air, corrosive gases, or other pollutants are present, special chemical filtering may be required. In this case, consult a specialist in air conditioning and electronic corrosion. Figure 1-13 shows some common air contaminants in relation to a typical disk head. 1.3.3 Shock and Vibration The VAXft system is constructed to withstand normal intermittent building vibrations (Tables 1-5 and 1-6). However, it is impossible to anticipate all vibration conditions that might be encountered at all computer facilities. If shock and vibration levels at the site are severe or continuous, they should be measured and discussed with a Digital environmental support engineer and/or an engineering consultant in this field. 1-26 Site Preparation Figure 1-13 Common Air Contaminants 1.4 Power Requirements The model 110, 310, and 410 systems are designed to operate on either of two types of single-phase ac power at 47 to 63 Hz: · 120 Vac (nominal) · 220 or 240 Vac (nominal) The model 610 and 612 systems are designed to run on three-phase ac power at 49 to 61 Hz: · 120 Vac (nominal) · 220 or 240 Vac (nominal) Site Preparation 1-27 1.4.1 Power Distribution To maintain hardware redundancy, a separate, dedicated circuit is required for each zone (Figures 1-14 and 1-15). Table 1-7 lists the ac power requirements of the model 110 cabinet. Table 1-8 lists the ac power requirements of the model 310 and 410 cabinets. Table 1-9 lists the ac power requirements of the model 610 and 612 cabinets. The recommended power source includes three additional, unused circuits for future equipment expansion. The electrical system must also conform to applicable national and local codes and ordinances. Convenience outlets are not provided in the cabinets. Separate circuits are required for each terminal, modem, printer, or any other additional piece of equipment connected to the system. An independent, uninteruptable, auxiliary power source should be considered for one of the following circumstances: · Console terminals and modems to provide console support during temporary power outages · Entire system as a safeguard against prolonged power failures During a total power failure, the battery backup in the model 310, 410, 610, and 612 cabinets supports all internal components (including logic modules and drives) for a minimum of 30 minutes. (The model 110 system does not have a battery backup.) Battery backups do not support any external devices such as console terminals, user terminals, modems, or printers. The VAXft system design ensures satisfactory operation on the line power supplied by most power companies. However, there are many outside variables over which neither Digital Equipment Corporation nor the power companies have any control. 1-28 Site Preparation Figure 1-14 Model 110, 310, and 410 System Power Distribution Site Preparation 1-29 Table 1-7 Model 110 Power Requirements ------------------------------------------------------------ Specification Value ------------------------------------------------------------ 120 Vac installations: Voltage range 88 to 132 Vac (rms) Frequency 47 to 63 Hz Phase type Single-phase Power dissipation 730 W maximum per cabinet 315 W typical per cabinet Heat dissipation 315 Btu typical per cabinet per hour 2500 Btu maximum per cabinet per hour Steady state current 5.4 A (rms) at 120 Vac Power cord 3-wire Power connector NEMA no. 5-15P 220 or 240 Vac installations: Voltage range 190 to 256 Vac (rms) Frequency 47 to 63 Hz Phase type Single-phase Power dissipation 730 W maximum per cabinet 315 W typical per cabinet Heat dissipation 315 Btu typical per cabinet per hour 2500 Btu maximum per cabinet per hour Steady state current 2.0 A (rms) at 240 Vac Power cord 3-wire Power connector NEMA no. 6-15P ------------------------------------------------------------ 1-30 Site Preparation Table 1-8 Model 310 and 410 Power Requirements ------------------------------------------------------------ Specification Value ------------------------------------------------------------ 120 Vac installations: Voltage range 90 to 128 Vac (rms) Frequency 47 to 63 Hz Phase type Single-phase Power dissipation 750 W maximum per cabinet 375 W typical per cabinet Heat dissipation 2561 Btu maximum per cabinet per hour Steady state current 8.9 A (rms) at 120 Vac Power cord 3-wire Power connector NEMA no. 5-15P 220 or 240 Vac installations: Voltage range 190 to 256 Vac (rms) Frequency 47 to 63 Hz Phase type Single-phase Power dissipation 750 W maximum per cabinet 375 W typical per cabinet Heat dissipation 2561 Btu maximum per cabinet per hour Steady state current 4.9 A (rms) at 240 Vac Power cord 3-wire Power connector NEMA no. 6-15P ------------------------------------------------------------ Site Preparation 1-31 Figure 1-15 Model 610 and 612 System Power Distribution 1-32 Site Preparation Table 1-9 Model 610 and 612 Power Requirements ------------------------------------------------------------ Specification Value ------------------------------------------------------------ 120 Vac installations: Voltage range 90 to 128 Vac (rms) Frequency 49 to 61 Hz Phase type 3-phase wye, 5-wire with neutral and ground Power dissipation 2000 W maximum per system cabinet with two zones; includes power losses from two console terminals 1000 W per expander cabinet Heat dissipation 6826 Btu maximum per system cabinet per hour 3413 Btu per expander cabinet per hour Steady state current at 120 Vac: Phase A 10 A Phase B 10 A Phase C 10 A Neutral 17.3 A Power cord 5-wire, 10 awg Power connector NEMA no.

To guard against possible malfunctions from externally radiated or conducted transient voltages, or from electrical signals superimposed on the power lines, power distribution within the facility should comply with the following requirements: · Each piece of equipment must receive single-phase ac power through a single, dedicated power receptacle and circuit breaker of the recommended value (Figures 1-14 and 1-15). No other equipment or loads may be connected to these circuits. · All ac power must come from the same bulk distribution panel to ensure reliable operation. If the building has dedicated lines for auxiliary power or a backup generator, the power should come from that source. · The same ground point must be used in all circuits to the system and to any equipment connected to it. This ensures the ground (earth) references for all equipment are at the same potential. For 120 Vac installations, the potential between neutral and ground (earth) should be no greater than 1 Vac at each receptacle. In Europe, apply local standards and codes. If circuit problems exist, rewiring or rerouting of the circuits may be necessary. 1-34 Site Preparation 1.4.2 Electrical System The electrical system within the facility should comply with the following requirements: · The power distribution panel must be easily accessible, or a master switch or circuit breaker provided, to remove all power to the computer facility in the event of an emergency. CAUTION Turning off the master switch or circuit breaker on a model 310, 410, 610, and 612 does not immediately shut down the VAXft system. The system is designed to continue normal operation on battery power for a minimum of 30 minutes. The circuit breaker to each zone in the VAXft configuration must be placed in the off (down) position to remove battery power within the zone. · The electrical system must be stable and free from electrical noise and transients. Do not connect electric motors, air conditioners, office copiers, or convenience outlets to the same circuits or panels where the system components are connected. If power disturbances cannot be avoided, power conditioning equipment may be required. · Single-point grounding is required. This is important if the building power supplies heavy-duty electrical equipment or machinery. The ground terminals from the receptacles shown in Figures 1-14 and 1-15 must be connected to the building ground only at the distribution panel. No equipment connected to the VAXft system should be connected to any other electrical box, conduit, or water pipe that could cause heavy ground currents to flow during an electrical malfunction in another part of the building. Site Preparation 1-35 1.4.3 Feed Line Capacity/Circuit Breaker Size Figure 1-14 shows the recommended power distribution method from the bulk distribution panel for the model 110, 310, and 410 systems. Each feed line must supply the following single-phase currents through a circuit breaker of the same rating: · 120 Vac lines: one 15 A circuit with a 15 A breaker for each model 110 device · 120 Vac lines: one 20 A circuit with a 20 A breaker for each model 310 and 410 device · 240 Vac lines: one 10 A circuit with a 10 A breaker for each device Figure 1-15 shows the recommended power distribution method from the bulk distribution panel for the model 610 and 612 systems. Each feed line must supply the following 3-phase currents through a circuit breaker of the same rating: · 120 Vac lines: one 20 or 25 A circuit with a 20 or 25 A breaker for each ac distribution box · 240 Vac lines: one 12.5 A circuit with a 12.5 A breaker for each ac distribution box When selecting circuit breakers, use the guidelines listed in Table 1-10 to allow for power-on surge and stabilization.

System I/O controller modules -- The LED indicator must be off if the two DSSI jumper plugs are installed correctly on a primary system I/O controller module in slot 1 of a base system. If the LED indicator is on, check the jumpers. 3-14 Installing the Model 110 System Figure 3-7 Model 110 Switches and MFIs Installing the Model 110 System 3-15 3.2 Power-On Tests In each zone of the model 110 system, the processor, system I/O controller, and WAN modules each contain a set of ROM-based diagnostic (RBD) tests that are invoked during a power-on sequence. The processor diagnostics test the CPU, as well as the memory, zone, and system. When a failure is detected in any module, the number of the test and a brief explanation of the failure are reported to the respective console terminal. If all tests on the processor, system I/O controller, and WAN modules are successful, each processor module performs a series of zone tests that include internal memory and I/O functions. If the zone tests are successful (no detected errors), each processor module enters a restart procedure that initializes the zone. 3.3 Final System Tests All of the diagnostic software required by the system is provided in the RBD tests described in Section 3.2. The RBD command description in Chapter 6 of the VAXft Systems Owner 's Manual (EK-VAXFT1-OM) provides information and guidelines for writing DSSI parameters to the storage devices under the diagnostic/utility protocol (DUP) facility. Run the user environmental test package (UETP) as a final check. Refer to the VMS Upgrade and Installation Supplement: VAXft Systems for more information on installing and booting the VMS operating system. The VAX/VMS UETP User 's Guide describes how to log in and run UETP. CAUTION UETP can be configured to run write/read tests on the RF-series disks. UETP should be run only at the completion of a system installation because of the risk of corrupting data on shadowed disks. Do not run UETP without contacting the responsible customer representative or application manager. When you are satisfied the system is operating correctly, turn it over to the responsible customer representative for installation and testing of the application software. 3-16 Installing the Model 110 System 3.4 Installing the Front Cover and Base Cap After you connect the cables and apply power to the pedestal system, install the front cover and base cap: 1.

The processor diagnostics test the CPU, as well as the memory, zone, and system. When a failure is detected in any module, the number of the test and a brief explanation of the failure are reported to the console terminal. If all tests on the processor, system I/O controller, and WAN modules are successful, each processor module performs a series of zone tests that include internal memory and I/O functions. If the zone tests are successful (no detected errors), each processor module enters a restart procedure that initializes the zone. 7.4 Final System Tests All of the diagnostic software required by the system is provided in the RBD tests described in Section 7.3. NOTE It is not necessary to run the diagnostics manually if the system has passed the power-on tests. The RBD command description in Chapter 6 of the VAXft Systems Owner 's Manual (EK-VXFT1-OM) provides information and guidelines for writing DSSI parameters to the storage devices under the DUP facility. Run the user environment test package (UETP) as a final check. Refer to the VMS Upgrade and Installation Supplement: VAXft Systems for more information on installing and booting the VMS operating system. The VAX/VMS UETP User 's Guide describes how to log in and run UETP. CAUTION UETP can be configured to run write/read tests on the RF-series disks. UETP should be run only at the completion of a system installation because of the risk of corrupting data on shadowed disks. Do not run UETP without contacting the responsible customer representative or application manager. When you are satisfied the system is operating correctly, turn it over to the responsible customer representative for installation and testing of the application software.

The processor diagnostics test the CPU, as well as memory, the zone, and the system. When a failure is detected in any module, the number of the test and a brief explanation of the failure are reported to the console terminal. If all tests on the processor, system I/O controller, and WAN modules are successful, each processor module performs a series of zone tests that include internal memory and I/O functions. If the zone tests are successful (no detected errors), each processor module enters a restart procedure that initializes the zone. 11.4 Final System Tests All of the diagnostic software required by the system is provided in the RBD tests described in Section 11.3. The RBD command description in Chapter 6 of the VAXft Systems Owner 's Manual (EK-VXFT1-OM) provides information and guidelines for writing DSSI parameters to the storage devices under the DUP facility. You may then want to run the user environment test package (UETP) as a final check. Refer to the VMS Upgrade and Installation Supplement: VAXft Systems for more information on installing and booting the VMS operating system. The VAX/VMS UETP User 's Guide describes how to log in and run UETP. CAUTION UETP can be configured to run write/read tests on the RF-series disks. UETP should be run only at the completion of a system installation because of the risk of corrupting data on shadowed disks. Do not run UETP without contacting the responsible customer representative or application manager. When you are satisfied that the system is operating correctly, turn it over to the responsible customer representative for installation and testing of the application software. A Module Handling, Removal, and Installation/Replacement Procedures ------------------------------------------------------------ This appendix describes how to remove or install a logic module in a system cabinet. This appendix includes: · Module handling and ESD procedures · Removing a module · Installing/replacing a module NOTE The following procedures are intended for use during system installation. Before using any of these procedures on a system that is running, you must first contact the responsible customer representative, system manager, or application manager to shut down the zone and power off the system cabinet. A-1 A-2 Module Handling, Removal, and Installation/Replacement Procedures Observe the module handling and ESD procedures (Section A.1) whenever you need to remove, install, or replace a logic module in a system cabinet. Refer to Chapter 5, Section 5.3.1 for module placement information. CAUTION An ESD wrist strap, ground clip, and grounded ESD workmat must be used as described in Section A.1 whenever you handle the logic modules. If you must use any of these procedures on a system that is running, first contact the responsible customer representative, system manager, or application manager to shut down the zone and power off the system cabinet. The VAXft System Services Manager 's Guide (AA-NL35A-TE) describes how to shut down the zone and power off the system cabinet from the console. A.1 Module Handling and ESD Procedures Two grounding cords are stored in the lower front door of the system cabinet (Figure 5-2) in the model 310, 410, 610, and 612 systems. (No wrist strap is supplied with a model 110 rackmount system.) One cord is connected to a wrist strap. The other cord is connected to a grounding clip for attaching to an antistatic ESD box. When the wrist strap is in place, there must be no more than 10 M through the grounding cord, wrist strap, and your wrist. T3000-series modules are very fragile and static sensitive. Use the grounding cords and observe the following precautions when handling logic modules. · Always put on a grounded wrist strap before handling a logic module. · Be sure that nothing touches the module or the components on the module because leads can be damaged. Avoid contact with the wrist strap, grounding cord, clothing, jewelry, cables, or other modules. · Minimize any potential for physical or ESD damage as follows: -- Remove all unnecessary materials in the service area (tools, documents, paper, plastics, polystyrene). -- Avoid clothing that contains more than 80% nonconductive materials (silk or synthetic fiber). -- Do not wear a jacket. Wear a short-sleeve shirt or roll up the sleeves on a long-sleeve shirt. -- Do not wear jewelry. Module Handling, Removal, and Installation/Replacement Procedures A-3 -- Loose clothing, such as a necktie, must be fastened in place. · Before removing a module from an ESD box, place the box on a clean surface. Do not allow the box to fall. NOTE Never place an ESD box on the floor. · Keep the module in the antistatic ESD box until you are ready to install it. · Before removing a module from an ESD box, attach the grounding clip to the ESD box. · If you are replacing a module, put the module you just removed on a grounded ESD workmat on a clean surface in the service area. Put the module side 2 down on the ESD workmat. · Save the ESD box for future use. Store a module in the ESD box until you are ready to install it. · When removing or installing a module, be sure the module does not come into contact with a cable or another module. And be sure that nothing else touches the module or any module components. · Hold a module only by the handle or by the edges with your hands flat and perpendicular to the circuit board. Do not touch the etch circuit or any components, leads, or connector pins. Do not bend the module. · Do not slide the module across any surface because the leads are fragile and can be damaged. · An ESD sensitive module may come into contact with the following items only: -- An approved ESD workmat -- Antistatic packaging on the ESD workmat -- Tools and test equipment on the ESD workmat -- The chassis being serviced -- The hands of someone wearing an ESD wrist strap A-4 Module Handling, Removal, and Installation/Replacement Procedures A.2 Removing a Module To remove a module (or a T3999 blank module) from a system backplane: CAUTION An ESD wrist strap, ground clip, and grounded ESD workmat must be used as described in Section A.1 whenever you handle the logic modules. 1.

B DEC WANcontroller 620 Configuration and Installation ------------------------------------------------------------ This appendix describes the configuration requirements and explains how to install a DEC WANcontroller 620 (WAN) module in a VAXft system. B.1 Configuration This section describes the configuration requirements. B.1.1 Minimum Revisions Before installing a WAN module into a VAXft system, the following revision requirements must be met: · VMS 5.4-1 or later · FTSS V1.1 or later · WANDD 1.1B or later · T3004 N04 or later B.1.2 Supported Layered Products The following are the supported layered products: · VAX PSI · VAX 2780/3780 · VMS SNA · DECnet Phase IV B-1 B-2 DEC WANcontroller 620 Configuration and Installation B.1.3 Cable Requirements Specific cables and loopbacks are required for different protocols. Refer to Table B-1 to select the correct adapter cables, extension cables, and loopbacks to support your protocol. NOTE To ensure compliance with British and European telecommunications standards, each 100-pin connector on the Y-box must be cabled to a T3004 module or terminated with a 100-pin terminator.

Use the Wide Area Network Device Driver Failover Set Manager (WANDD$FSM) software described in this manual to create and manage a WAN module configuration that provides a redundant communications link. Unlike the VAXft system Ethernet driver, the WAN module driver does not automatically configure failover sets to provide a redundant communications link. For the WAN module, use the WANDD$FSM software to pair WAN modules and form the failover set. In a failover set, one WAN module handles current network traffic and the second WAN module remains in standby mode. If the first WAN module fails, the software automatically attempts to switch to the second WAN module. This switch is transparent to the operator, though system operators are notified by OPCOM messages. Once the failover sets are created and the system is started, enter the DCL command: $ SHOW DEVICES Note that: · Each failover set has a device name of the form SFx (where x is a single character) · Each physical WAN module has a device name of the form SMx (where x is a single character) For fault-tolerant purposes, the communications link is defined as coming through the logical device (SFx), rather than through the specific physical device (SMx). Pair SMx devices with an SFx device to form the failover set. This can be done by executing WANDD$FSM commands at system startup or by entering WANDD$FSM commands later. Failover sets can have one of three configurations: · Empty -- failover set contains no WAN modules · Single -- failover set contains one WAN module · Partnered -- failover set contains two WAN modules B-6 DEC WANcontroller 620 Configuration and Installation A failover set with only one WAN module is not fault tolerant. However, failover sets can be created with only one WAN module to have separate communications links, rather than occupying both WAN modules on just one redundant link. NOTE Two WAN modules from the same zone cannot be configured in the same failover set. The failover set driver software constructs failover sets according to the configuration received by the WANDD$FSM utility. This configuration takes precedence over the physical cable configuration. When the driver discovers the physical cable configuration does not match the configuration given by WANDD$FSM, an error is reported through OPCOM messages. B.1.7 Recommended Configurations and Restrictions The recommended configurations are based on the following principles: · Single failover sets have the same SF and SM controller letters in the set (SMB, SFB). · Partnered failover sets have the SF controller letters based on the zone A controller (SMB + SMG SFB). · Partnered failover sets have WAN modules located in the same slot in each zone. See Figure B-2. Table B-2 lists the recommended configurations. Table B-2 Redundant Failover Set Configurations ------------------------------------------------------------ Partnered SMs Single SMs SF Controller Zone ------------------------------------------------------------ SMB + SMG SMB SFB A SMC + SMH SMC SFC A SMD + SMI SMD SFD A SME + SMJ SME SFE A SMG SFG B SMH SFH B SMI SFI B SMJ SFJ B ------------------------------------------------------------ DEC WANcontroller 620 Configuration and Installation B-7 B.1.8 Physical Device Names Figure B-2 shows how the WAN module physical device names relate to the slots in the VAXft system backplane. Figure B-2 WAN Module Physical Device Names and Related Slot Assignments The external cabling between the WAN modules and respective Y- boxes must match the configuration established by the failover set manager (FSM). A failover set represents how the logical (SF) devices are associated with the physical (SM) devices. In Figure B-2, SFC is made up of SMC and SMH. See Table B-2. B-8 DEC WANcontroller 620 Configuration and Installation B.1.9 Managing Failover Sets WANDD$FSM provides four basic commands for managing failover sets: · ADD · REMOVE · MODIFY · SHOW NOTE To use the ADD, REMOVE, and MODIFY commands, you must have OPER privilege. The supplied startup procedure installs WANDD$FSM with SHARE privilege, which is also required to use WANDD$FSM commands. WANDD$FSM is used to: · Create the initial failover set configurations for a VAXft system · Reconfigure a failover set if a zone must be stopped for repairs · Reconfigure a failover set if both the WAN modules fail · Reassign failover set membership to take advantage of unused WAN modules · Obtain information on failover set membership and status WANDD$FSM commands are used in system startup procedures to configure communication link failover sets. However, WANDD$FSM can also be used interactively when the system is live. To start WANDD$FSM, enter the command: $ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:WANDD$FSM WANDD$FSM> To stop WANDD$FSM, enter the command: WANDD$FSM> EXIT $ DEC WANcontroller 620 Configuration and Installation B-9 WANDD$FSM can also be executed as a foreign command. To use the foreign command line interface, use this DCL code: $ ! Define a symbol to be the name and location of the $ ! image - NOTE the preceding $ $ FSM = "$SYS$SYSTEM:WANDD$FSM" $ ! Now enter the Failover Set Management command as follows $ FSM SHOW/ALL . . . $ ! Immediately returned to the $ prompt This may be useful if you write DCL command procedures that invoke WANDD$FSM. B.2 Installation This section describes how to install a DEC WANcontroller 620 (WAN) module in a VAXft system. B.2.1 Y-Box Mounting Methods Figure B-3 shows Y-box mounting methods using the mounting bracket. The mounting bracket kits (PN H043A) include screws to attach the first Y-box. The Y-box housings have clips that allow two or more Y-boxes to be mounted together on one bracket. The top brackets are used for mounting on an office partition and are removed for wall, floor, or cabinet mounting. Two loop/hook straps are included with each kit for mounting on a pole. One or two straps may be required, depending on the size of the pole. B.2.2 Y-Box Cable Connections Open the WAN module option kits and remove the 100-pin, 3.05-meter (10-foot) cables. Carefully unroll each cable and mark both ends for zone A or zone B. Referring to Figure B-1, connect one end of each cable to the appropriate Y-box connector. For nonredundant configurations, install the 100-pin terminator on the unused Y-box connectors. B-10 DEC WANcontroller 620 Configuration and Installation Route each cable under the base frame of a system cabinet. Bring the end of each cable up through the access hole in the base frame.

After the installation, 10,000 disk blocks are used for the files. The following steps contain an example of a WAN module installation: 1. Insert a tape. 2. Enter @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL SYNC011 TAPE$MIA0: at the system prompt. B-14 DEC WANcontroller 620 Configuration and Installation 3. Create the failover set for the WAN modules by performing the following steps: · Ensure the VAX Wide Area Network Device Drivers software has been installed. · Issue the DCL command: $ SHOW DEVICES SM This lists the WAN module devices installed on the system. · Decide which WAN modules are to be paired, remembering they should be from different zones within the VAXft system. (The system installation engineer can advise you on which devices are in each zone.) · Edit the SF$STARTUP.COM file (found in SYS$STARTUP) to include the WANDD$FSM ADD commands that create the failover set at system startup. The SF$STARTUP.COM file already contains an example template of WANDD$FSM commands commented out. Enter your own commands in place of, or following, the template commands. DO NOT edit the rest of the procedure. This may cause the configuration of the system to be incomplete. · The SYS$STARTUP.SF$STARTUP.COM should now look like the following: DEC WANcontroller 620 Configuration and Installation B-15 $ saved_verify = f$verify(0) $ ! **************************************************************************** $ ! * * $ ! * COPYRIGHT (c) 1990 BY * $ ! * DIGITAL EQUIPMENT CORPORATION, MAYNARD, MASSACHUSETTS. * $ ! * ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. * $ ! * * $ ! * THIS SOFTWARE IS FURNISHED UNDER A LICENSE AND MAY BE USED AND COPIED * $ ! * ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF SUCH LICENSE AND WITH THE * $ ! * INCLUSION OF THE ABOVE COPYRIGHT NOTICE.

Physical Adapter Device Cable Partner Adapter State State 20 Pin /100 Pin -------- ------- ------ --------------- SME Current Initialized None None SMC Standby Initialized None None 8. Force failover by issuing a STOP/ZONE command to the current physical adapter. This causes the standby adapter to become current. DEC WANcontroller 620 Configuration and Installation B-19 B.2.5 Troubleshooting with FSM This section describes how to use the FSM SHOW command to determine cable states, adapter states, device states, and partnered failover sets.

Physical Adapter Device Cable Partner Adapter State State 20 Pin /100 Pin -------- ------- ------ --------------- SMD Current Initialized SMB SMB SMB Standby Initialized SMD SMD The FSM SHOW fields may contain the following information: · The name of the failover set. This is a device name beginning with the letters SF. · The number of WAN modules in the failover set with additional information for partnered configurations. The information displayed can include the following configuration details: -- Empty -- failover set does not contain any WAN modules. -- One device -- failover set contains one WAN module. -- Two devices in the same zone -- failover set contains two WAN modules. Both WAN modules are installed in the same zone. -- Two devices in different zones -- failover set contains two WAN modules. The WAN modules are in different zones. This is the ideal configuration for fault-tolerant operation. · For partnered configurations, a cable configuration diagnostic is displayed. The information displayed can include the following information: -- Cable state is good -- WAN modules in the failover set are physically partnered to each other through the 20-pin and 100-pin connections. -- Cable state is bad -- WAN modules in the failover set are not cabled to each other. The cable partner column in the /FULL display details the cabling arrangement of the failover set members. This message also sounds the terminal bell to warn of the incorrect cabling. B-20 DEC WANcontroller 620 Configuration and Installation -- Cable state is indeterminate -- software drivers cannot determine how the WAN modules are cabled. This situation can arise, for example, if one of the zones containing a failover set member loses power. · Physical adapter -- physical adapter field lists each of the WAN modules currently in the failover set. WAN module membership is defined by WANDD$FSM. · Adapter state -- adapter state field informs the system manager about the current state of WAN modules in the failover set. The information displayed can include the following states: -- Current -- this WAN module is the currently active WAN module for this failover set. -- Standby -- this WAN module is currently in the standby state. It is made current if the ``Current'' WAN module fails or if the MODIFY command is issued for this failover set. -- Failed -- this WAN module has been failed by software. The cause of the failure is usually related to a WAN module hardware problem. · Device state -- device state field displays the current state of the WAN module hardware in the failover set. The information displayed can include the following states: -- Initialized -- WAN module hardware and microcode have passed device initialization tests. -- Not initialized -- WAN module hardware and microcode failed to initialize correctly. · Cable partner -- cable partner field displays the name of the other WAN module to which a WAN module is connected. A WAN module is connected to another WAN module by a 20-pin cable and a 100-pin cable. The information displayed can include the following: -- SMx -- name of the WAN module to which this WAN module is paired. The display includes the 20-pin and 100-pin partner, and these two should be the same. -- None -- displayed if the 20-pin or 100-pin cable is not currently connected to another WAN module. -- Unknown -- displayed if the cable configuration cannot be determined; for example, if the zone containing one of the WAN modules is currently stopped. C System Drive Removal and Replacement ------------------------------------------------------------ This appendix describes how to remove or insert system storage devices. This appendix includes: · Removing a system drive · Replacing or installing a drive · Power-on procedures · Using the server setup switch NOTE The model 110 system drives are installed internally. Refer to the VAXft Systems Maintenance Guide for removal and replacement procedures. C-1 C-2 System Drive Removal and Replacement C.1 Removing a System Drive You do not need to power off the cabinet to remove a system drive. To remove a cannister or carrier drive from the system backplane: 1. Write protect a disk drive by pressing the summary panel Write Protect switch in. The Write Protect indicator should be on. Then take the disk drive off-line by pressing the summary panel On Line switch in. The summary panel switches have no effect on the cannister tape drives. Tape may be write protected by setting the Write Protect switch on the TK cartridge. 2. Set the drive power switch to off (0). Wait 15 to 20 seconds (for disk drive to stop spinning and interlock solenoid to release). 3. Attach the grounded wrist strap to your wrist. CAUTION Use great care when removing, replacing, or transporting a drive. Do not drop the drive or allow it to come into contact with any object while you carry it. Always wear a grounded wrist strap when you remove or replace a tape or disk drive. 4. If you are removing a cannister drive, see Figure C-1. Push the drive latch down and pull the drive straight out of the slot. If you are removing a carrier drive, see Figure C-2. Release the captive thumb screw. Then pull the drive straight out of the slot. 5. If you are not replacing the drive with another, a blank cannister or carrier module must be inserted in the slot to maintain cooling airflow. System Drive Removal and Replacement C-3 Figure C-1 Cannister Drive Controls and Drive Latch C-4 System Drive Removal and Replacement Figure C-2 Carrier Drive Controls and Captive Thumb Screw System Drive Removal and Replacement C-5 C.2 Replacing or Installing a Drive To insert a cannister or carrier drive in the system backplane: 1. If you are installing a drive, first remove the cannister or carrier module that occupies the slot. 2. Attach the grounded wrist strap to your wrist. CAUTION Carrier drives must not be removed, except by qualified maintenance personnel. Always wear a grounded wrist strap when you remove or replace a tape or disk drive. 3. Insert the drive in the slot. Push the drive straight in and seat it firmly. 4. A cannister drive must have the drive latch secured as shown in Figure C-1. A carrier drive must be secured with the captive thumb screw shown in Figure C-2. C.3 Power-On Procedures When you remove a disk or tape drive and then replace it in the same slot, the drive keeps the same unit number and DSSI node address. Power on the drive as follows: 1. Set the drive power switch to on (1). Wait 15 to 20 seconds (for disk drive to come up to speed and Ready indicator to turn on). 2. Write protect the drive, if necessary. Then bring the drive on-line by releasing the On Line switch (button out). The summary panel switches have no effect on the cannister tape drives. Tape is write protected by setting the Write Protect switch on the TK cartridge. C-6 System Drive Removal and Replacement C.4 Using the Server Setup Switch The server setup (SU) switch is provided for use on a running system and has no effect when the system is halted. CAUTION The server setup switch must only be used during maintenance procedures. Using the server setup switch when you power on a drive inhibits the drive from joining the DSSI cluster. This allows the console operator to set host from DCL and write DSSI parameters to the drive under the diagnostic/utility protocol (DUP) facility without halting the system. DSSI parameters must be set whenever you install a tape or disk drive with unknown parameters. Placing a drive in service without first writing the parameters could cause irretrievable loss of data. You must write DSSI parameters if the drive you are installing or replacing is: · A new drive with factory-set parameters. · An existing drive with a new DSSI controller/interface module. The diagnostics chapter of the VAXft Systems Maintenance Guide (EK- VXFT1-MG) provides information on setting host from DCL. The RBD command description in Chapter 6 of the VAXft Systems Owner 's Manual (EK-VXFT1-OM) provides information and guidelines for writing DSSI parameters to the storage devices under the DUP facility. If you are going to set drive parameters on a running system, power on the drive as follows: 1. Press and hold the server setup switch. 2. Set the power switch to on (1). 3. Release the server setup switch. It takes 15 to 20 seconds for a disk drive to come up to speed and the Ready light to turn on (light). Then set the drive switches as follows: 1. Place a disk drive on-line by releasing the summary panel On-Line button to the out position. 2. Write-enable a disk drive by releasing the summary panel Write Protect button to the out position. 3. The summary panel switches and indicators have no effect on a tape drive. System Drive Removal and Replacement C-7 When you have set host and written the DSSI parameters, place the drive in service as follows: 1. Set the drive power switch to off (0). 2. Wait a few seconds for the drive power to bleed off. Wait 15 to 20 seconds for a disk drive to stop spinning. 3. Set the drive power switch to on (1). Wait 15 to 20 seconds for a disk drive to come up to speed and the Ready indicator to turn on (light). 4. Set the Write Protect switch to the desired state and add the drive into the system configuration. D Model 310 and 410 Rackmount System Site Preparation and Installation ------------------------------------------------------------ This appendix describes the procedure for OEM customers to mount model 310 and 410 BA22 boxes into custom 19-inch cabinets. The VAXft system is offered in two basic mounting styles: office pedestal and OEM rackmount. The processor and mass storage expanders are contained in BA22-style equipment boxes. The office pedestal is designed to operate in office or computer room environments and has the following features: · Enclosure skins and covers · Split-entry front door · Base casters The OEM rackmount box version differs from the office pedestal version: · No skins or covers · Rackmount base instead of base casters · Operates with ac power or optional H407-B dc front-end module The rackmount base ensures support for the transformer and allows spacing for required airflow. The rackmount base provides: · Separate air paths between the units · Mounting support for a lifting device, such as a forklift D-1 D-2 Model 310 and 410 Rackmount System Site Preparation and Installation The rackmount option consists of: · Attached rackmount assembly · Front cover · Instructions D.1 Design Concerns The design concerns for rackmount installation into a custom cabinet are: · Unit weight · Unit dimensions · Center of gravity · Rack construction · Heat and airflow management · Data cable management · Grounding considerations · Power distribution D.1.1 Unit Weight Each model 310 and 410 BA22 box can weigh up to 108 kg (240 lb) for the processor box and up to 122 kg (270 lb) for the mass storage expander box. Therefore, the cabinet's 19-inch Radio-Electronics- Television Manufacturers Association (RETMA) rail system must be designed to handle a hang weight of 231 kg (510 lb) (one BA22 processor and one BA22 expander box mounted on a one rail system), plus a safety margin. It is recommended the final rail assembly with two BA22 boxes be designed to withstand a 10 gravity peak, 10-ms shock pulse in the vertical plane. Another concern while handling the BA22 boxes is safety. When rack mounting the BA22 boxes into the cabinet, use a lifting device. The suggested lifting device is a flat-blade forklift. CAUTION The BA22 boxes must be picked up from the bottom. Never use any sort of hook or try to lift the unit by its skins. Model 310 and 410 Rackmount System Site Preparation and Installation D-3 D.1.2 Unit Dimensions The VAXft system BA22 boxes are designed to be mounted into 19-inch RETMA rail cabinets. If your cabinet does not have a 19-inch RETMA rail system, design a conversion bracket. For example, many phone company racks are based on a 1-inch center hole pattern, so conversion brackets have to be custom made. The dimensions for the model 310 and 410 BA22 boxes are: · 60.96 cm (24.0 in) height of main box · 66.14 cm (26.04 in) height of main box plus rackmount base · 44.55 cm (17.54 in) width of main box (inside of rails) · 46.78 cm (18.42 in) width of main box (flange to flange) · 29.90 cm (11.77 in) depth plus 10.16 cm (4.0 in) for the rackmount base extension in the rear See Figures D-1 and D-2 for front views. See Figure D-3 for the rail hole pattern. See Figure D-4 for a side view. D.1.3 Center of Gravity As seen in Figures D-1 and D-2, the BA22 boxes are 29.90 cm (11.77 in) deep. Therefore, much of the center of gravity is toward the front rail system. If your cabinet is, for example, 121.9 cm (48.0 in) deep, the center of gravity is in the front quarter of the cabinet, causing a possible tip hazard. If you use a cabinet 76.2 cm (30.0 in) wide by 152.4 cm (60.0 in) high by 66.14 cm (26.04 in) deep, the center of gravity is acceptable at approximately 35.56 cm (14.0 in) from the front of the cabinet. See Figures D-5 and D-6. If deep cabinets (for example, 121.9 cm (48.0 in)) are used, and if no equipment is going to be mounted on the cabinet's rear rails to counterbalance the front load of the BA22 boxes, an anti-tip front foot plate must be used if the cabinet is mounted on casters. If the cabinet is bolted to the floor, an anti-tip plate can be omitted. In either case, the shipping skid must be designed to handle the cabinet's center of gravity correctly and not accidentally tip while being moved.

Such racks are designed to hold front to back equipment boxes where the box weight is distributed between the front and rear rails. See Figure D-7. This distribution makes sure the cabinet does not flex. The VAXft system BA22 boxes are designed to be mounted on the front and rear rail system. See Figures D-4, D-6, and D-7. The front flanges are designed for a RETMA hole pattern. The unit sits on an integral rackmount base assembly that extends 10.16 cm (4.0 in) beyond the rear of the box (Figure D-4). The BA22 boxes must be supported by a customer-designed right angle bracket that connects to the front and rear mounting rack rails (Figure D-6). CAUTION Never mount the BA22 boxes by the front mounting flanges only. Always include supporting angle brackets so that the weight can be distributed to the rear rail system. The front mounting flanges can be damaged without the use of the angle brackets. Model 310 and 410 Rackmount System Site Preparation and Installation D-11 Figure D-7 Traditional Rackmount, Side View D-12 Model 310 and 410 Rackmount System Site Preparation and Installation D.1.5 Heat and Airflow Management The maximum power for each model 310 and 410 BA22 box is 750 W, or 2557 Btus. It is recommended that the cabinet be designed for the maximum configuration per the user 's environment (temperature, humidity). The tested operating ranges for the VAXft system are: · 10°C to 40°C (50°F to 104°F) · 10% to 90% RH noncondensing · 28°C (82°F) maximum wet-bulb temperature · 2°C (36°F) minimum dew point It is recommended that the rack environment be near the middle of the tested operating ranges. This would be in the area of 40% to 60% RH, and 18.3°C to 23.8°C (75°F to 65°F). The rackmount system BA22 boxes come with a rackmount base. The base adds 5.08 cm (2.0 in) to the overall height of the unit and 10.16 cm (4.0 in) to the overall depth (Figures D-1 through D-4). The rackmount base adds the 10.16 cm (4.0 in) so air can be baffled correctly. If the rack has enough free airspace surrounding the BA22 boxes, a flushing fan is not needed inside the rack. 1 Initial tests of two boxes mounted in a one and one-half bay cabinet with dimensions of 152.4 cm (60.0 in) height, 76.2 cm (30.0 in) width, and 66.04 cm (26.0 in) depth showed a flushing fan is not needed provided that the ambient temperature is held below 40°C (104°F). If the rack has smaller dimensions, some sort of blower, heat exchanger, or active cooling (air conditioner) needs to be considered. The cabinet rackmount and airflow design depends on the following factors: · Internal Btus generated in the cabinet · Temperature differential between the inside of the cabinet and outside of the cabinet · Surface area of all the outside walls of the cabinet · Whether cabinet rack walls are insulated or not insulated · Mounting configuration of the BA22 boxes within the cabinet ------------------------------------------------------------ 1 If a flushing fan is used, the BA22 airflow is from top to bottom. Model 310 and 410 Rackmount System Site Preparation and Installation D-13 · Airspace within the cabinet · Air vents on the front and rear doors or panels D.1.5.1 Internal Btus The internal Btus generated by a dual zone VAXft system mounted in a single cabinet would be a maximum of 750 W  2 zones  3.41 equals 5115 Btus. A 20 percent safety factor should be added to this. 5 1151 : 2 = 61 3 8 B t u s Therefore, a maximum system cabinet should be designed to remove 6138 Btus of heat (one cabinet with two processor cabinets or one cabinet with a processor and expander cabinet). D.1.5.2 Air Vents The air intake slots in the front rack door should be a minimum of 225.82 cm (35.0 sq in) to allow for adequate intake airflow. This is also true for the rear cabinet exhaust panel or door. D.1.6 Data Cable Management All cables connect to the VAXft system BA22 boxes by means of the front module panels, DSSI cable bulkheads, and console bulkheads. This means all cable routing must be addressed from the front of the units. Figure D-8 shows the recommended cable routing. If the BA22 boxes are mounted in a 152.4 cm (60.0 in) high rack, there is no room between the BA22 boxes for the routing of cables. All I/O cables must be routed to the right or left sides. Cross-link cables must be mounted vertically. If the BA22 boxes are mounted in a 165.1 cm (65.0 in) or higher rack, cables may be routed between the BA22 boxes. D-14 Model 310 and 410 Rackmount System Site Preparation and Installation Figure D-8 Model 310 and 410 Cable Routing, Front View Model 310 and 410 Rackmount System Site Preparation and Installation D-15 D.1.7 Grounding Considerations It is important to have a common ground for both of the BA22 boxes mounted in a rack assembly. The following rules apply: · Mounting rails should be conductive, so there is ground contact between the upper BA22 front mounting rails and the bottom BA22 front mounting rails. · If the rails are to be painted, consult with Digital Equipment Corporation. · The mounting rails should be connected to a cabinet ground. · In multiple cabinet systems, all cabinet grounds must be tied together. D.1.8 Power Distribution The VAXft system BA22 box is designed to operate on 120 Vac or 240 Vac, or on a 48 Vdc bus. Each model 310 and 410 BA22 box has its own power cord. Each cord is rated for a 12 A, 120 Vac outlet or 6 A, 240 Vac outlet, maximum. These are standard wall outlets. The one major concern when adding power controllers to a cabinet or rack is that a single point of failure should be avoided. For example, it would be easy to add a 30 A, 120 Vac rated power controller to the cabinet for 120 Vac systems and plug both BA22 boxes into the one power controller. This is fine, but by doing this, a single point of failure is introduced -- the power controller. If the relays or EMI/RFI filter fail, both BA22 boxes go down. D-16 Model 310 and 410 Rackmount System Site Preparation and Installation D.2 Optional H407-B DC Power Supply Connections Tables D-1 and D-2 list the dc power requirements for the H407-B dc power supply. Table D-1 H407-B DC Input Power Requirements ------------------------------------------------------------ Input Operating Voltage Minimum 40 Vdc Maximum 75 Vdc Input Transient Voltage 200 V For 1 µs Input Undervoltage 0 to 40 Vdc With no system damage ------------------------------------------------------------ Table D-2 H407-B DC Output Power Requirements ------------------------------------------------------------ Output Operating Voltage Minimum 38 Vdc at minimum input operating voltage Maximum 75 Vdc at maximum input operating voltage Output Operating Currents ------------------------------------------------------------ Output voltage Output Current (Maximum) 38 Vdc 15 A 48 Vdc 12.5 A 60 Vdc 10 A 73 Vdc 8 A Auxiliary Bias Outputs ------------------------------------------------------------ Specification Value Minimum +5 V output voltage 4.75 Vdc at full input operating voltage and full output current Maximum +5 V output voltage 5.25 Vdc at full input operating voltage and full output current Model 310 and 410 Rackmount System Site Preparation and Installation D-17 Table D-2 (Continued) H407-B DC Output Power Requirements ------------------------------------------------------------ Minimum +5 V output current 0 A Maximum +5 V output current 1.5 A Minimum +12 V output voltage 11.4 Vdc at full input operating voltage and full output current Maximum +12 V output voltage 12.6 Vdc at full input operating voltage and full output current Minimum +12 V output current 0 A Maximum +12 V output current 0.4 A ------------------------------------------------------------ NOTE The H407-B dc power cable has a connector on one end that attaches to the H407-B dc power supply on the VAXft system. The other end of the dc power cable does not have connectors. The outer jacket of the cable at the nonconnector end has been cut back to expose three color-coded wire leads (brown, blue, and green). Perform the following procedure to install the H407-B dc power cable: 1. Attach the connector end of the dc cable (PN 17-03129-01) to the dc connector on the H407-B dc power supply. See Figure D-9. 2. Attach the color-coded wire leads at the other end of the dc cable to a 48 Vdc source as follows: · Brown -- to 48 Vdc source · Blue -- to return · Green -- to ground D-18 Model 310 and 410 Rackmount System Site Preparation and Installation Figure D-9 H407-B DC Power Supply Connections Model 310 and 410 Rackmount System Site Preparation and Installation D-19 D.3 Summary The OEM designer should use the following guidelines when designing a 19-inch cabinet rack for the model 310 and 410 systems: · Use the rackmount version of the VAXft system. Do not try to convert an office version, since the office version is not supplied with the appropriate rackmount base. · Two BA22 boxes weigh up to 108 kg (240 lb) for the processor BA22, plus 122 kg (270 lb) for the expander BA22, for a total of 231 kg (510 lb). The cabinet and rail system must be designed to support this weight plus a safety margin. Both the front and rear rails must be used to distribute the weight. A custom mounting shelf or angle brackets must be designed by the OEM customer to do this. · The BA22 boxes are shallow (29.89 cm or 11.77 in). Consider the cabinet's center of gravity, especially during transportation. · The maximum heat generated by a single BA22 box is 2557 Btus. A single 60-inch cabinet could be designed to hold two BA22 boxes, therefore generating 5115 Btus. It is suggested a 20 percent safety factor be added to this resulting in a 6138 Btu design center, maximum. · A minimum of 225.82 sq cm (35.0 sq in) must be allowed for air intake vent open area (total slot size open area). The same is true for the exhaust area. · If the air temperature outside of the cabinet is expected to be above the range of 18.3°C to 23.8°C (65°F to 75°F), active cooling such as industrial cabinet air conditioners should be investigated. · Airflow in the BA22 boxes is from top to bottom. If cabinet flushing fans are needed as a result of airflow studies, the flushing fans should not work against the BA22 airflow. · The use of a single power controller for two BA22s within the same 19-inch cabinet can introduce a single point of failure. · Grounding is very important. Use conductive mounting rails. E Model 110 Rackmount System Site Preparation and Installation ------------------------------------------------------------ This appendix describes the procedure for OEM customers to mount model 110 BA22 boxes into custom 19-inch cabinets. The VAXft system is offered in two basic mounting styles: office pedestal and OEM rackmount. The processor and mass storage expanders are contained in BA22-style equipment boxes. The office pedestal is designed to operate in office or computer room environments and has the following features: · Enclosure skins and covers · Base casters The OEM rackmount box version differs from the office pedestal version: · No skins or covers · Rackmount chassis The rackmount option consists of: · Attached rackmount assembly · Instructions E-1 E-2 Model 110 Rackmount System Site Preparation and Installation E.1 Design Concerns The design concerns for rackmount installation into a custom cabinet are: · Unit weight · Unit dimensions · Center of gravity · Rack construction · Heat and airflow management · Data cable management · Grounding considerations · Power distribution E.1.1 Unit Weight Each model 110 BA22 box can weigh up to 68 kg (151 lb) for the processor box. Therefore, the cabinet's 19-inch Radio-Electronics-Television Manufacturers Association (RETMA) rail system must be designed to handle a hang weight of 136 kg (302 lb) (two BA22 processors on a one rail system), plus a safety margin. It is recommended the final rail assembly with two BA22 boxes be designed to withstand a 10 gravity peak, 10-ms shock pulse in the vertical plane. Another concern while handling the BA22 boxes is safety. When rack mounting the BA22 boxes into the cabinet, use a lifting device. The suggested lifting device is a flat-blade forklift. CAUTION The BA22 boxes must be picked up from the bottom. Never use any sort of hook or try to lift the unit by its skins. Model 110 Rackmount System Site Preparation and Installation E-3 E.1.2 Unit Dimensions The VAXft system BA22 boxes are designed to be mounted into 19-inch RETMA rail cabinets. If your cabinet does not have a 19-inch RETMA rail system, design a conversion bracket. For example, many phone company racks are based on a 1-inch center hole pattern, so conversion brackets have to be custom made. The dimensions for the model 110 BA22 boxes are: · 63.83 cm (25.13 in) height of main box · 44.55 cm (17.54 in) width of main box (inside of rails) · 47.78 cm (18.81 in) width of main box (flange to flange) · 30.48 cm (12.00 in) depth plus 10.16 cm (4.0 in) for the rackmount base extension in the rear See Figure E-1 for a front view. See Figure E-2 for the rail hole pattern. See Figure E-3 for a side view. E.1.3 Center of Gravity As seen in Figure E-1, the BA22 box is 30.48 cm (12.00 in) deep. Therefore, much of the center of gravity is toward the front rail system. If your cabinet is, for example, 121.9 cm (48.0 in) deep, the center of gravity is in the front quarter of the cabinet, causing a possible tip hazard. If you use a cabinet 76.2 cm (30.0 in) wide by 152.4 cm (60.0 in) high by 66.14 cm (26.04 in) deep, the center of gravity is acceptable at approximately 35.56 cm (14.0 in) from the front of the cabinet. See Figures E-4 and E-5. If deep cabinets (for example, 121.9 cm (48.0 in)) are used, and if no equipment is going to be mounted on the cabinet's rear rails to counterbalance the front load of the BA22 boxes, an anti-tip front foot plate must be used if the cabinet is mounted on casters. If the cabinet is bolted to the floor, an anti-tip plate can be omitted. In either case, the shipping skid must be designed to handle the cabinet's center of gravity correctly and not accidentally tip while being moved.

Such racks are designed to hold front to back equipment boxes where the box weight is distributed between the front and rear rails. See Figure E-6. This distribution makes sure the cabinet does not flex. The VAXft system BA22 boxes are designed to be mounted on the front and rear rail system. See Figures E-3, E-5, and E-6. The front flanges are designed for a RETMA hole pattern. The BA22 boxes must be supported by a customer-designed right angle bracket that connects to the front and rear mounting rack rails (Figure E-5). CAUTION Never mount the BA22 boxes by the front mounting flanges only. Always include supporting angle brackets so that the weight can be distributed to the rear rail system. The front mounting flanges can be damaged without the use of the angle brackets. Figure E-6 Traditional Rackmount, Side View E-10 Model 110 Rackmount System Site Preparation and Installation E.1.5 Heat and Airflow Management The maximum power for each BA22 box is 730 W, or 2500 Btus. It is recommended that the cabinet be designed for the maximum configuration per the user 's environment (temperature, humidity). The tested operating ranges for the VAXft system are: · 10°C to 40°C (50°F to 104°F) · 10% to 90% RH noncondensing · 28°C (82°F) maximum wet-bulb temperature · 2°C (36°F) minimum dew point It is recommended that the rack environment be near the middle of the tested operating ranges. This would be in the area of 40% to 60% RH, and 18.3°C to 23.8°C (65°F to 75°F). If the rack has enough free airspace surrounding the BA22 boxes, a flushing fan is not needed inside the rack. 1 Initial tests of two boxes mounted in a one and one-half bay cabinet with dimensions of 152.4 cm (60.0 in) height, 76.2 cm (30.0 in) width, and 66.04 cm (26.0 in) depth showed a flushing fan is not needed provided that the ambient temperature is held below 40°C (104°F). If the rack has smaller dimensions, some sort of blower, heat exchanger, or active cooling (air conditioner) needs to be considered. ------------------------------------------------------------ 1 If a flushing fan is used, the BA22 airflow is from top to bottom. Model 110 Rackmount System Site Preparation and Installation E-11 The cabinet rackmount and airflow design depends on the following factors: · Internal Btus generated in the cabinet · Temperature differential between the inside of the cabinet and outside of the cabinet · Surface area of all the outside walls of the cabinet · Whether cabinet rack walls are insulated or not insulated · Mounting configuration of the BA22 boxes within the cabinet · Airspace within the cabinet · Air vents on the front and rear doors or panels E.1.5.1 Air Vents The air intake slots in the front rack door should be a minimum of 225.82 cm (35.0 sq in) to allow for adequate intake airflow. This is also true for the rear cabinet exhaust panel or door. E.1.6 Data Cable Management All cables connect to the VAXft system BA22 boxes by means of the front module panels, DSSI cable bulkheads, and console bulkheads. This means all cable routing must be addressed from the front of the units. Figure E-7 shows the recommended cable routing. If the BA22 boxes are mounted in a 152.4 cm (60.0 in) high rack, there is no room between the BA22 boxes for the routing of cables. All I/O cables must be routed to the right or left sides. Cross-link cables must be mounted vertically. If the BA22 boxes are mounted in a 165.1 cm (65.0 in) or higher rack, cables may be routed between the BA22 boxes. E-12 Model 110 Rackmount System Site Preparation and Installation Figure E-7 Model 110 Cable Routing, Front View Model 110 Rackmount System Site Preparation and Installation E-13 E.1.7 Grounding Considerations It is important to have a common ground when two BA22 boxes are mounted in a rack assembly. The following rules apply: · Mounting rails should be conductive, so there is ground contact between the upper BA22 front mounting rails and the bottom BA22 front mounting rails. · If the rails are to be painted, consult with Digital Equipment Corporation. · The mounting rails should be connected to a cabinet ground. · In multiple cabinet systems, all cabinet grounds must be tied together. E.1.8 Power Distribution The VAXft system BA22 box is designed to operate on 120 Vac or 240 Vac. Each model 110 BA22 box has two power cords. Each cord is rated for a 15 A, 120 Vac outlet or 6 A, 240 Vac outlet, maximum. These are standard wall outlets. The one major concern when adding power controllers to a cabinet or rack is that a single point of failure should be avoided. For example, it would be easy to add a 30 A, 120 Vac rated power controller to the cabinet for 120 Vac systems and plug both BA22 boxes into the one power controller. This is fine, but by doing this, a single point of failure is introduced -- the power controller. If the relays or EMI/RFI filter fail, both BA22 boxes go down. E-14 Model 110 Rackmount System Site Preparation and Installation E.2 Summary The OEM designer should use the following guidelines when designing a 19-inch cabinet rack for the model 110 systems: · Two BA22 boxes weigh up to 136 kg (302 lb). The cabinet and rail system must be designed to support this weight plus a safety margin. Both the front and rear rails must be used to distribute the weight. Custom mounting angle brackets must be designed by the OEM customer to do this. · The BA22 boxes are shallow (30.48 cm or 12.00 in). Consider the cabinet's center of gravity, especially during transportation. · The maximum heat generated by a single BA22 box is 2500 Btus. A single 60-inch cabinet could be designed to hold two BA22 boxes, therefore generating 5000 Btus. It is suggested a 20 percent safety factor be added to this resulting in a 6000 Btu design center, maximum. · A minimum of 225.82 sq cm (35.0 sq in) must be allowed for air intake vent open area (total slot size open area). The same is true for the exhaust area. · If the air temperature outside of the cabinet is expected to be above the range of 18.3°C to 23.8°C (65°F to 75°F), active cooling such as industrial cabinet air conditioners should be investigated. · Airflow in the BA22 boxes is from top to bottom. If cabinet flushing fans are needed as a result of airflow studies, the flushing fans should not work against the BA22 airflow. · The use of a single power controller for two BA22s within the same 19-inch cabinet can introduce a single point of failure. · Grounding is very important. Use conductive mounting rails.
