Appendix D. 3745 Installation Hands-On Scenario
This 3745 Hands-On Scenario (HaS) is a formal turnover procedure of an
installed 3745 from the IBM account team (SE/CE) to the customer. This review
ensures that all complementary actions have been completed throughout the
installationlintegration process, thus reducing the number of outages and
follow-up service calls for non-3745 related errors.

1. Have you reviewed the Power ONIOFF procedures at the 3745 control
panel?
The control panel uses a ten-digit alphanumeric display, which is lighted
regardless of the power state of the machine. There are five buttons
used to select the MOSS functions to be executed. Some examples of
functions that can be executed from the control panel are: Set Power
Control Modes, General IPL, MOSS IML, MOSS Dump and Power
ON/OFF. There is an Emergency Power OFF (big red) switch located on
the control panel. This switch should be used only in emergency situ-
ations, and will require that an IBM CE reset the switch should it be acti-
vated inadvertently. Be aware that this EPa switch looks very similar to
the 3720 normal power OFF/ON switch. Make sure that the customer
operations staff is aware of the EPO's purpose and function. Normal
Power-ON/OFF operations on the 3745 should be performed by using the
Power-aN-Reset and Power-OFF (both black) buttons. The power proce-
dures should be documented for use by the operation staff. The 3745
Basic Operations Guide describes the use of the control panel.
Note: The LOCAL mode ('3') is intended for maintenance operations
and not recommended for normal operation as it disables the Automatic
Restart after an external power failure. This means that if you operate
in LOCAL mode, you must manually power on after any external power
failure.
2. Is the MOSS console connected to the 3745 and powered ON?
The first screen on MOSS for channel-attached devices is the CA inter-
face display. Type E or D next to the appropriate channel adapter to
enable/disable that interface. The NSC address on that screen repres-
ents the address that must be defined in the IOCP, and must match the
VTAM PCCU macro address to load and activate the controller. If the
NSC address does not match what the CE has entered, then it should be
changed to meet the customer's requirements. Be aware that a change
to the CA addresses and other CA parameters requires a 3745 general
IPl or a power OFF ION procedure to take effect.
3. Have you modified the passwords?
Enter your password to access the main MOSS function screens.
"IBM3745" is the default password supplied with the controller. We
recommend that you change the passwords for security reasons as
soon as possible after the installation. See the 3745 Advanced Oper-
ations Guide (AOG) for details on the password functions.
