The HP 3000 Series 37XE Computer System consists of a system cabinet, SPU, I/O Extender, and
associated peripherals. Supported RS-232 devices interface with the system through the Advanced
Terminal Processor 37 (ATP37). Supported HP-IB devices interface with the system through the
Peripheral Interface Controller (PIC). Figure 3-1 shows a typical system configuration.
Installation of a peripheral device consists of connecting either an RS-232 or HP-IB interface cable and
an AC power cord. If questions arise or problems occur with any device, refer to the appropriate service
manual. Unpack and move each device into place. Install it according to the procedures given in this
section. After installation, print the name of each device on a receptacle tag. Attach the tag to the
appropriate interface cable at the back panel of the SPU and I/O Extender.
WARNING
Hazardous voltages exist in the SPU, I/O Extender, and the peripheral
cabinets when AC power is connected. Do not connect the SPU, I/O
Extender, or any peripheral to AC power until all system components have
been instailed and ail interconnections have been made. Failure to comply
may result in serious injury.
