Preface

This installation guide chvides the information and procedures necessary to install and test
the KMV1A-SF, the KMV1A-SG or the KMV1A-SH Programmable Communications Controller
option kit in the BA200-series microsystem enclosure. It is only intended for use by DEC field
service personnel or qualified self-maintenance customers.
It is the customer’s responsibility to do a software backup prior to installing the KMV1A-S.
This step is important to safeguard against data being lost during the installation process.
If you are not qualified to install a KMV1A-S series option kit, call Digital Field Service to
schedule an installation.

If you are to perform the installation of a KMV1A-S series option kit, make sure you are
wearing an anti-static wrist strap connected to a grounded anti-static workstation before you
handle it. It is susceptible to damage by static discharge. Also, ensure the bus grant continuity
path is intact after the installation; no vacant backplane slots should exist between modules.
If you have any difficulty in performing the installation, call Digital Field Service for assistance.

Be sure to take anti-static precautions when unpacking and installing the module. Use the
groundstrap and anti-static mat contained in the Anti-Static Kit, P/N 29-26246-00. The AntiStatic Kit is not included in the installation kit. It is part of the field service kit.
Diagnostics

The diagnostics for the KMV1A are released through the Software Distribution Center (SDC).
The following options can be ordered separately by self-maintenance customers, according to
the type of processor they have.

INTRODUCTION

1.1 BA200-Series Efnclosure"
The BA200-series enclosure has a 6-slot or 12-slot, Qbbus backplane and one or two modular
power supplies. Figure 1-1 shows the 12-slot BA213 enclosure chassis.

The backplane uses the Q22-bus in the AB rows‘of each slot. The CD interconnect is used
in all 12 slots. MicroVAX systems use the CD rows of slats 1 through 3 for their high-speed
memory interconnects.

BA200-series enclosures with mass stsrage a

held up to four standard 13.3 em (5.25

inch) devices (three disk drives and one tape drive). Fixed disk drives face the rear of the
enclosure, providing easy access to their drive signal and power cables.

The major difference between the BAZOO-»ser:es and other microsystem enclosuresis in the way

you connect external devices to the system. Option modules in the 'BA200-series enclosure
connect directly to external I/O connectors. Other enclosures require an insert panel and
internal cabling between the option module and the device.
A

There are two main differences between themcéules usedin the BAZOO-senes enclosure and
those usedin the other microsystem enclosures:

Option modules for external devices have bulkhead handles. These handles replace the
insert panels and internal cabling foundin the BA23 and the BA123 enclosures.

Standard Q22-bus modules (such as the RQDX3 and TQK50) have blank bulkhead covers.

The module handles and blank covers form an electrical seal that complies wzth FCC
regulations for (1) keeping frequencies generated by the system in the enclosure, and (2)
keeping radio frequencies out of the enclosure.

See the MicroVAX System Maintenance Guide for further mfermatmn on the BAZO@-senes
enclosure.

Figure 1-1:

BA213 Enclosure Chassis, BA200-Series

1.2 KMV1A Hardware
The KMV1A hardware consists of a quad-height board, an indicator panel, and a line connector
cable. It is designed to be used in a communication link by Q-bus based systems. The KMV1A
is microprocessor based and able to perform functions for bit-oriented synchronous protocols
(like HDLC), byte-oriented synchronous protocols (like BSC), or asynchronous protocols. The

application firmware defines the computer instructions that are needed to execute the protocolrelated activities.

1-2 INTRODUCTION

Features of the KMV1A include:

Direct Memory Access (DMA) across the Q-bus for medium-speed transmission and
reception.

A DCT11 microprocessor with the PDP-11 base level instruction set.

A7201 PUSART (Programmable Universal Synchronous/Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter)
line controller chip.

An EPROM of 8K bytes, with root firmware and power-up self-test diagnostics.

RAM space of 32K bytes, for implementation of data-link protocols.

Synchronous (bit-oriented or byte-oriented) as well as asynchronous capabilities for the
application firmware.

Extensive support of modem signals.

An on-board null modem clock.

The KMV1A-SF option kit has the RS232-C electrical interface.

The KMV1A-SG option kit has the RS422-A electrical interface.
The KMV1A-SH option kit has the RS423-A electrical interface.

All the aforementioned option kits are designed for installation in the BA200-series enclosure.

See the KMV1A User’s Guide for further information.

Report any damage to the shipper and notify the Digital representative.

2.3 Inspecting the EOS and FCC Clips

Note
To comply with FCC regulations, the bulkhead handles, blank covers, and gap fillers
are equipped with transient protection EOS and FCC clips; these clips are grounded
through the module handle.

Ensure that there is no residue or corrosion on the FCC and EOS clips on the KMV1A
handle (Figure 2-2). Also ensure that thereis no residue or corrosion on the FCC clips on
the two gap fillers (Figure 2-2). If so, remove it with alcohol.

Ensure that the FCC and EOS clips are in an arched shape. When depressed slightly, they
should return to their original shape.

If any clipis missing or broken, replace it with FCC clip P/N 12-26340-01.

2.4 Software Backup and Operating System Shutdown
It is the customer’s responsibility to perform a software backup and then to shut down the
operating system software. Ensure that the customer has taken these steps before starting the
installation procedures.

2.5 Testing the Existing System
1.

Ensure the existing system is running properly.

Always remove the diskette/tape before turning the power off. Never work inside
a system enclosure without first shutting off the system power.

After the successful completion of the test, remove the floppy or tape and turn the I/O
power switch off. Unplug the ac power cord from the wall outlet.

2.6 Checking the System Configuration
You must complete the BA200-Series Enclosure Worksheet (Figure 2-3) to make sure you do
not exceed the system’s limits for power and bus loads.

You need to gain access
to the modules installed in the system backplane before you configure
the system. Refer to the system’s documentation for procedures to help you remove any
existing covers.

To check the system configuration, perform the following steps:
1.

On the configuration worksheet, list all the modules already installed in the system; each
module has an identifying label on the cover or handle.

List the modules you plan to install in the systein,
Fill in the information for each device in accordance with Table 2-1.
Add up the columns. Make sure the totals are within the limits for the enclosure, given at
the bottom of the Configuration Worksheet.

2.7.2 Power Supplies

The BA200-series enclosure contains one or two separate 230-Watt power supplies. For

enclosures with two power supplies, the first (right-side) power supply powers slots 1 through
6 and the second (left-side) one slots 7 through 12.

Each power supply in the enclosure must have a minimum 5-Amp load on the 5-volt output
to maintain regulation. If the minimum load requirement is not met, you must install a
load module (M9060-YA) in an open backplane slot which is powered by that power supply.
Otherwise, the power supply will enter an error mode and shut down the system.

Refer to section 2.8 (Relocating Existing Modules) for procedures to install or remove modules.

2.7.4 Determining CSR Addresses and Interrupt Vectors
CSR addresses and interrupt vectors are fixed or floating. Fixed means there is a fixed location
in memory reserved for the address or vector of a particular module. These modules are
shipped with the correct address and vector settings for use as the first of their type. If they
are not the first, then the settings of subsequent ones must be considered as floating; some
modules only have floating addresses and vectors.

A floating address or vector is assigned a location within an octal range. The exact location
depends on what other modules are in the system. The ranges are as follows:
e

Floating CSR address: 17760010 - 17763776

Floating interrupt vector: 300 - 777

If you have a MicroVAX system, use CONFIG, a program of the SYSGEN utility, to determine
the CSR address and interrupt vector; see 2.7.5. If you don’t have this utility, see 2.7.6 to
determine the address and vector values; substitute the numbers for nnn in 17760(nnn). Once
you know the values, see 2.7.7 to set them.
The address and vector settings are configured by switch packs E29 and E13 respectively; the
locations of the packs are shownin Figure 2-5.

Note
To set switches of modules other than the KMV1A, refer to the user guides for the
modules or the System Technical Manual.

2.7.5 Determining Addresses and Vectors using CONFIG
Run this procedure to find the addresses of your new configuration. See Table 2-2, Entries to
use with the SYSGEN Utility.

If there is more than one of the same device in the system, follow its identity by a
comma and the number of devices.
An asterisk next to a displayed address indicates that you can use the address, but if
you change the configuration you must run SYSGEN again to find out if the address
has also

Removing Modules with Blank Covers
Caution

Make sure you are wearing a grounded anti-static wrist strap when you remove or

install modules.

1. Release the two%-turn captive screws that hold the blank cover to the card cage (Figure
2-6).

Pull the blank cover away from the card cage.

Note the orientation of any internal cables connected to the module; some connectors are
not keyed. Carefully label and disconnect them.

4. Unlock the module release levers by simultaneously pulling up on the top lever and pulling
down on the bottom lever. For modules with a plastic handle, pull out on the plastic
|

handle.

Carefully pull the module out of the card cage.

Confirm the module’s CSR address and interrupt vector; see section 2.7.4 for help in
determining the correct setting. Change switch settings if necessary. If no change is
necessary, be careful not to disturb any switch packs on the module.

7. Reverse this procedure to install the module in its new location. Do not fasten the %-turn
screws until you have installed the KMV1A module.

2.8.2 Removing Modules with Handles

Caution

Make sure you are wearing a grounded anti-—stati:: wrist strap when you remove or

install modules.

1. Note the orientation of external cables connected to the module. Carefully label and
disconnect them.

2. Releasezthe two %-turn captive screws that hold the handle of the module to the card cage
(Figure

2-6).

3. Simultaneously unlock the release levers by pulling up on the top lever and pulling down
on the bottom one (Figure 2-7).

Pull on the handle of the module to remove it from the slot.

5. Confirm the module’s CSR address and interrupt vector; see section 2.7.4 for help in
determining the correct setting. Change switch settings if necessary. If no change is
necessary, be careful not to disturb any switch packs on the module.

6. Reverse this procedure to install the module in its new location. Do not fasten the %-turn
screws until you have installed the KMV1A module.

2.9 Installing the KMV1A
Caution

Be careful not to snag the module’s components on the card guides or adjacent modules.

1. Insert the KMV1A module into the appropriate card slot using the recommended module
order listed in section 2.7.3.

2.10 Verifying the Ground Connections
Caution
When you install a module with a blank cover or flush handle next to a recessedhandle module, you must install a gap-filler assembly between the modules to meet
FCC regulations. Without it, circuitry on the recessed-handle module will be exposed.

Two gap filler assemblies (P/N 70-24071-01) are provided with the option kit. Each assembly
includes one gap filler and two screws.

Verify that the ground connections (Figure 2-9) are correctly in place as follows:

Check to see if any recessed-handle module in the backplane has a module with a blank
cover or a flush handle in the slot immediately before or after it. If so, verify that a gap
filler assembly is installed on the side of the blank cover or flush handle that is next to the
recessed-handle module
|
|
|

Note
There should not be any open spaces between the modules in the backplane.

Fasten the %-turn captive screws on all handles and covers in the backplane.
If an open space exists, install the gap filler assembly as follows:
a.

Using two screws and oz;:niap filler (P/N 70-24505-01), attach the g‘ap filler to the top
and bottom of the side blank cover or flush handle that fits next to the recessed-handle
module. Make sure the gap-filler tabs fit into the tab indentations on the blank cover
flush handle (Figure 2-9).

b. Place the blank cover with the gap filler over the card cage slot, or insert the flush
handle module with the gap filler into the card slot.

¢.

Ensure that there is correct ground (no open spaces) between the two modules.

Fasten the %-turn captive screws on all handles and covers in the backplane.

2.11 Connecting to External Devices
See Figure 2-10 for connecting to external devices and observe the following:

Use a BCC 04 cable for the KMV1A-SF.

Use a BC 18Y cable for the KMV1A-SG/SH.
These cables are not supplied with the KMV1A. They can, however, be ordered from DECdirect.
