Chapter 2
GETTING READY
2.1
Introduction
This chapter gives instructions
on
initial
check-out
and
configuring of your Bering disk subsystem.
It is very important to follow the ; nstructi ons in thi s chapter to
get the disk subsystem ready before connecting to the HP computers.
Users are also urged to consult related sections of HP documentation
whenever necessary.
2.2
Limitations of Multi-Port
1. For subsystem with Option 531 (three ports and long haul),
ensure that Port 2 & 3 are not connected to the same HP-IB Bus.
otherwise, it may cause system failure.
2. For multiple-computers configuration, ensure that there is no
voltage difference between grounds of the AC power. It is
r.econmended to have all computers and HP-IB devi ces in the same
AC power circuit.
3. When the computer at one of the HP-IB port is executing an
INITIALIZE or FORMAT command, it may cause disk error to
computer(s) in other ports. This is because some HP computers
cannot tolerate the extended
delay of these commands. It is
recolTJTlended to stop all di sk conmands
in other ports before
executing the INITIALIZE commands.
