Installation
SOFTWARE INST ALLA TION
The INP has been preprogrammed at the factory and requires no field programming. All INP software,
including the self test, is contained within the circuitry of the INP PCA board. Therefore, no separate
software installation procedure is required.
The diagnostic software (OSM) used for troubleshooting INP problems is separate from the INP's own
software. This diagnostic program is included with your updated operating system and, likewise, requires
no separate software installation procedure.
INST ALLA TION VERIFICATION
Verify that the INP has been properly installed and that it now functions accordingly as follows:
1.
Determine that AC power is being supplied to the system.
When the line-power cord is
plugged in, the presence of AC power is indicated by the letters
IIAC II
lighted on the front panel
of the HP 3000/37 processor.
2.
Power up the system in accordance with the instructions in the
H P 3000 Guide for the New
Operator.
This procedure automatically initiates the INP self test.
3.
Observe the eight self -test light-emitting-diode (LED) indicators (Figure 2- 3) through the fan
in the back of the HP 3000/37. Upon completion of the self test (approximately 2 seconds in
duration), the LEDs will stop blinking and will display a steady pattern. If the LEOs at each
end (0 and 7) are lighted while all the others
(l
through 6) are off, the INP is working properly.
If any other pattern of lighted LEOs is being displayed, the INP is malfunctioning.
4.
If a properly functioning INP is indicated, the system is now ready for operation.
S.
If a malfunctioning INP is indicated, refer to Section 5, Maintenance, for troubleshooting
information.
MULTIPLE INP INST
ALL A
TIONS
For additional data communication capability, more than one INP can be installed in the same HP 3000
Series 37 Computer System. To accomodate more than one INP, however, the HP 3000/37 must have the
optional Extender Box. The maximum number of INPs that one HP 3000/37 can accomodate is three. .
After the first INP has been installed, subsequent INPs are installed by following the same procedures as
outlined in the previous paragraphs in this section. Any available card slot within the specified range can
be used, since the device sequence is determined by the setting of each INP's device address switch, rather
than by the card slot it occupies.
When multiple INPs are installed in an HP 3000/37, no more than one INP can be located in the first
card cage (the top section of the HP 3000/37 mainframe). The second and third INPs must be located in
2-8
