Note Within a system enclosure it is possible to have up to seven disk storage devices, provided there is no tape drive in the enclosure. There can be three 3.5-inch dual storage devices and one 5.25-inch or one 3.5-inch single storage device. For more detailed information about configuring EF- and RZ-series ISEs in a BA400-series enclosure, refer to the appropriate enclosure maintenance manual listed in Appendix A.
1.2 EF- and RZ-Series ISE Installation Preparation EF- and RZ-series ISEs require that bus node ID jumpers be set on the drive before the ISE can be installed in a BA400-series enclosure. When installing an EF- or RZ-series ISE, refer to the reference booklet or data sheet that is shipped with the ISE to set the proper bus node ID (DSSI/SCSI ID) jumpers.
1.3 Installation Procedure To install an EF- or RZ-series ISE in a BA400-series enclosure, perform the following procedures. 1.3.1 ISE Installation in an Empty Slot CAUTION Static electricity can damage integrated circuits. Use the anti-static wrist strap and antistatic pad found in the static-protective field service kit (29-26246-00) when you work with the internal parts of a computer system.
3. Always install ISEs working from right to left (Figure 1–5). Figure 1–5 BA440 Enclosure Slot 3 Slot 2 Slot 1 Slot 0 MLO-006528 NOTE The first (slot 0) mass storage cavity in the mass storage area is wider than the rest to accommodate a larger device, such as a tape drive. A small filler panel (70-27414-01) is used to fill the gap when an EF- or RZ-series ISE is installed in this first cavity.

• For each DSSI bus or SCSI bus, do not duplicate bus node numbers for storage elements. You can have only one storage element on bus 0 identified as node 0, one storage element as node 1, and so on. •...
1.6 Setting the DSSI ISE Parameters Once installed and powered up, the DSSI ISE parameters must be set. This is done through the use of the local program PARAMS. The following procedures should be used when performing an ISE installation. If further information on the use of PARAMS is desired, refer to the appropriate integrated storage element user’s guide (see Appendix A) for a complete description of the PARAMS utility.
1.6.1.2 Using Console Commands From console mode you can access the Diagnostic and Utility Program (DUP) to examine and set parameters. The command syntax depends upon whether your system uses an embedded adapter such as the KA670 module, or a Q–bus adapter (the KFQSA module).
1.6.1.3 Using MDM If neither OpenVMS nor console commands are available on your system, you can access PARAMS through MDM using the following procedure: 1. Boot MDM. 2. Enter the date and time. 3. Select the menus in the following order: •...
1.6.2 Setting the ISE Allocation Class All DSSI ISEs are shipped with the allocation class set to 0. To determine what the allocation class should be set to, access a different ISE on the system and set the one you are installing to the same allocation class. In multihost systems, you must assign the same allocation class to all host systems and all connected ISEs.
Page 37
5. Enter SHOW ALLCLASS. The system responds with: Parameter Current Default Type Radix --------- ----------- ----------- ------ ------- ALLCLASS Byte PARAMS> 6. Enter SET ALLCLASS 1 (for our example). You want to set the ISE to the same allocation class as all the other ISEs on the DSSI bus. 7.
1.6.3 Setting the MSCP Unit Number The ISE is set at the factory to read the DSSI node ID as the MSCP unit number. Unit numbers for all DSSI devices connected to a system’s associated DSSI buses must be unique. When more than one bus is being used, and your system is using a nonzero allocation class, you need to assign new unit numbers for devices on all but one of the DSSI buses.
1.6.4 Setting the ISE Node Name Setting the ISE node name is an optional step. All DSSI ISEs come with a computer-generated node name. The user may wish to set this node name to a more recognizable character string. The following example changes the node name from the default (R1EJAA) to the new string "SUSAN."...
Once the ISE has passed DRVTST, the installation is complete. If further information on the use of DRVTST is desired, refer to the appropriate integrated storage element user’s guide (see Appendix A) for a complete description of the DRVTST local program. 1.7.1 DRVTST Example The following example shows how to run DRVTST.
1.7.2 Error Messages If an error condition is found during the execution of DRVTST, an error message is displayed. Two types of errors are reported: soft errors, which are corrected during the operation of the ISE, and fatal errors, which prevent the ISE from functioning.
