Procedure 11

6 Insert the Modules in the GS60E TLSB Card Cage
Determine the placement of the modules in the TLSB card cage. Inspect the
KN7CG module’s top row of pins on the large gray connector. If the plastic
portion of the connector obstructs the connector pin hole(s), the damage must be
repaired or the plastic will bend the backplane pins. Insert the I/O, memory,
CPU (GS60 to GS60E upgrade only), and terminator modules. Make certain the
EMI gaskets are in position and not damaged.

BX-0768D-96

CAUTION: If you add CPU modules, the modules shipped might have different
versions of console firmware. Results are unpredictable if you install all processor
modules at the same time and power up the system, so install each module
individually and update the console firmware on each if necessary. Follow the
instructions on the CPU installation card.
12 Upgrade Manual

Tools required: small flathead screwdriver
1.

Before installing the modules, determine their placement:
a.

Processor modules start at slot 0 and work up to slot 2.

The first KFTHA module goes in slot 8, a second in slot 7, and a third in
slot 6.

The first MS7CC memory module is in the highest-numbered open slot, the
next in the lowest-numbered open slot, and so on, alternating between
highest- and lowest-numbered open slots.

Fill all remaining open slots with terminator modules (E2034-AA).

Ground yourself to the cabinet with the antistatic wrist strap.

Insert the I/O, memory, and terminator modules (if any) in the TLSB card cage.
CAUTION: To avoid damaging an EMI gasket, insert modules from left to right.
These gaskets can easily break, and a broken piece of gasket can damage a
module or the centerplane.
a.

Remove each module from its antistatic bag and release the spring-loaded
handles from the stops. To do this, push both handles toward the module
endplate and away from the stops.

Hold the module assembly by the endplate. Align the module with the card
guide and the cover with the rail (see Figure 7).

Slide the module into the card cage as far as it will easily go.

When the module stops, check that the projections on the top and bottom of
the endplate are aligned with the slots in the card cage. If they are not,
remove the module and realign it.

Push both handles at the same time to the module endplate. You will feel
the module make contact with the connectors at the centerplane. Release the
handles so they spring back into the stops.

Attach the I/O cables to the KFTHA modules.

Insert the processor modules.

Procedure 13

BX-0450G-96

Move the contents of one PCI card cage at a time. This makes it easier to maintain
the KFTHA hose number connections, to eliminate device reconfiguration.
Likewise, transfer the I/O devices connected to the adapters from one PCI card cage
at the same time.
1.

Disconnect the power cables, ➊ in Figure 9, the I/O hose cable, and any other
cables that prevent the PCI shelf from being pulled out. Keep the hose cable
with the adapters you remove from the shelf, so that when you transfer the

16 Upgrade Manual

adapters the hose number connections remain the same. (Remember that you
labeled the hoses when removing them from the KFTHAs.)
2.

Remove the five Phillips head screws that hold the card cage and the cable
management rack to the frame (see ➋).

Pull the shelf out fully.

Remove the top cover by loosening the two quarter-turn screws, lifting the top of
the cover away from the card cage, and then pulling the cover to the right and
off (see ➍).

Remove any cables attaching I/O devices to the PCI from the front of PCI option
cards. Label each adapter and each shelf or I/O device to which it is connected,
for reinstallation.

Note the slot number from which the option is being moved. Lift each PCI
option from its slot carefully, and place it in an antistatic bag. Label the bag
with the slot number. Also label the bag to indicate the shelf or device to which
it was attached, and label the I/O device(s) to show which devices belong to
each option.

When all PCI option cards have been removed from one shelf, reattach the top
cover and slide it back into the cabinet. Reattach the mounting screws.

Move the PCI option cards and the I/O cables to the new cabinet.

NOTE: If you are transferring more than 12 PCI I/O options, you will need to order
another DWLPB–DA.

Install PCI Modules
1.

Remove the face plates from any slots you plan to use for PCI options. The face
plates are held in place by a Phillips head screw on the inside right front edge of
the card cage.

Insert the option boards.

Attach the hose I/O cable to the proper KFTHA connector and to the PCI card
cage whose contents you just transferred.

NOTE: KFE70-XX and EISA cards are not supported in the GS60E system.

Procedure 17

9 Move StorageWorks Devices
Remove StorageWorks power supplies, devices, and DWZZA/Bs from the
StorageWorks shelves in the old cabinet and install in the new cabinet.

18 Upgrade Manual

To remove SCSI devices from StorageWorks shelves:
1.

Disconnect the input power cord from the power supply. See ➊ in Figure 10.

Unplug the I/O cable from the shelf (see ➋).

Mark the position of each disk in the shelf, so that all disks can be restored with
the same unit numbers in the new cabinet. Remove power supply, DWZZA/Bs,
and I/O devices by pressing in both mounting tabs (see ➌). Using both hands to
support the weight, slide each unit out of the shelf.

NOTE: If you are transferring more than seven disks, you will need to order another
BA36R-RC.
To install the SCSI I/O devices in the new cabinet:
1.

Make sure that the shelf the devices are being placed in can be connected to the
same numbered hose connector as in the existing system.

Insert the devices in the same places in the new shelf that they occupied in the
old shelf. Press in on the mounting tabs and using the other hand to support the
unit, slide the unit into the shelf until it connects.

Reconnect the I/O cable to the shelf and to the PCI adapter to which it was
originally connected.

Connect the power supply cord.

Move any other I/O devices or external controllers and cable them.
