Determining Hp-Ux Minor Numbers - HP 98568A Installation Instruction

Determining HP-UX Minor Numbers
If you do not use:
• An address of 0, 2 or 3 for your mass storage device, and/or
• The preset select code for your HP 98625 (preset select code 14) Disk
Interface or HP 98624 HP-IB Interface (preset select code 8),
then the minor numbers given in the "Worksheet Entries" are incorrect.
To determine your correct minor number, follow this procedure:
1. Choose any worksheet entry table for your device as an example to work
from.
2. If Your Select Code Is Different: The first two digits to the right of the Ox
in the minor number indicate the select code of the interface the device
is connected to. Change these two digits to your select code value (in
hexadecimal). For example:
• If your select code is 25, and the example minor number is Ox010010,
change the 07 to 19, giving the new minor number Ox190010. (Note: 19 is
the hexadecimal value for 25).
• If your select code is 10, and the example minor number is OxOe0200,
change the Oe to Oa, giving the new minor number OxOa0200. (Note: Oa is
the hexadecimal value for 10).
3. If Your Address Is Different: The next two digits following the select code
digits indicate the address of the device. Change these two digits to your
address value (in hexadecimal). For example:
• If your address is 5, and the example minor number is Ox070010, change
the 00 to 05, giving the new minor number Ox070510.
• If your address is 7, and the example minor number is OxOe0200, change
the 02 to 07, giving the new minor number OxOe0700.
4. Change the minor number in each worksheet entry given for your device.
