Page 171: Scsi Bus Differences
C_scsi.doc 151 Tue Jul 2 14:56:06 1996 SCSI Bus Differences A Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI) bus is an IEEE standard bus for connecting your workstation to internal and external devices (SCSI devices) running at different speeds, singly or in combination. Examples of these SCSI devices are 4-mm DDS-format tape drives, CD-ROM drives, and Win- chester hard disk drives.

• • CAUTION: SCSI cables approved by HP are designed to function within the SCSI tolerances for HP devices. Use of other cables can result in signiﬁcant problems with system operation. The singled-ended SCSI deﬁnition limits the total cable length of SE SCSI cables to 6 meters (19.6 feet).

• Single-ended SCSI Bus Configuration Constraints For the SE SCSI bus, HP-UX supports only one of each type of removable disk drive and two of the same type tape devices per system. Table 22 shows conﬁguration constraints for each SE SCSI device type. If the system has an internal CD-ROM drive or DDS tape drive, you must count them as SE SCSI devices.

D_boot_cons.doc 167 Tue Jul 2 10:44:54 1996 Boot Console Interface Features There are times when you want to interact directly with the hardware of your workstation before it boots the operating system. Your workstation provides a menu-driven boot console interface that allows you to perform special tasks, display information, and set certain system parameters, even if the operating system is unavailable.

2 Press the power switch on the front panel of the system unit. NOTICES: There is no need to manually shut down the HP-UX operating system on your workstation before powering it off. When you turn off the power switch, your workstation automatically shuts down the operating system before terminating the power.
Page 193: Booting Your Workstation
D_boot_cons.doc 173 Tue Jul 2 10:44:54 1996 Booting Your Workstation Usually, you start your workstation by turning it on and waiting for HP-UX to boot automatically. However, you may not always want the usual sequence to occur. For example, you may want to start your workstation from an operating sys- tem that is stored on a device that is different from your usual boot device.
Page 194 ISL is the program that actually controls the loading of the operating system. By interacting with ISL, you can choose to load an alternate version of the HP-UX operating system. If you do not want ISL to be loaded, you must enter n.
