Preface
Intended Audience
This manual is written for Digital customer service engineers and selfmaintenance customers installing removable media in DEC 7000/10000 or
VAX 7000/10000 systems.

Document Structure
This manual uses a structured documentation design. Topics are organized into small sections for efficient on-line and printed reference. Each
topic begins with an abstract. You can quickly gain a comprehensive overview by reading only the abstracts. Next is an illustration or example,
which also provides quick reference. Last in the structure is descriptive
text.
This manual has three chapters, as follows:
•

Chapter 1, Preparation, gives an overview of the removable media
and tells you how to prepare for the installation.

•

Chapter 2, Installation, gives instructions on how to remove and replace the Tx85 tape drive and RRD42 compact disk drive.

•

Chapter 3, Acceptance and Troubleshooting, describes the acceptance procedure.

Conventions Used in This Document
Terminology. Unless specified otherwise, the use of "system" refers to
either a DEC AXP or VAX system. The DEC AXP systems use the Alpha
AXP architecture.
When a discussion applies to only one system, an icon is used to highlight
that system. Otherwise, the discussion applies to both systems. Thus, the
abstract for a module that applies only to DEC systems would look like
this:
This section shows a sample boot of OpenVMS Alpha AXP
DEC from the RRD42 CD drive for DEC 7000 systems. The first
7000
step is issuing the show device command to determine the
location of the RRD42.
Book titles. In text, if a book is cited without a product name, that book is
part of the hardware documentation. It is listed in Table 1 along with its
order number.
Icons. The icons shown below are used in illustrations for designating part
placement in the system described. A shaded area in the icon shows the
location of the component or part being discussed.

Installation
NOTE: Use the antistatic wrist strap from the Electrical Safety Kit to
ground yourself to the cabinet before working with cabling and
modules.
1.

Turn the keyswitch to Disable. Remove the key.

Open the rear door of the cabinet and shut the circuit breaker off (see
Figure 1-1) by pushing down the handle.

Open the front door of the cabinet. Remove the console terminal cable,
if present.

Remove the two Phillips screws on the left side of the control panel.
See 4 in Figure 2.1.

Swing the panel to the right no more than two inches and remove it
from the hinges. If you are installing removable media in an expander
cabinet, go to step 7.

Disconnect the cable from the circuit board and place the control panel
face down on a flat surface.

Loosen the two captive Phillips screws at the lower side of the filler
panel. See 7 . Remove the filler panel.

Slide the removable media box into the cabinet, moving aside any cables in the area. Tighten the two captive screws (slotted) at the lower
sides of the removable media box. If you are installing removable media in an expander cabinet, go to step 10.

Reconnect the cable to the control panel circuit board.

10. Attach the panel to the hinges, swing it to the left, and install the two
Phillips screws that were removed in step 4.

Cabling
1.

At the rear of the cabinet, remove the enclosure rear plate (attached
with three Phillips screws). See 1 in Figure 2-2.

Using a nutdriver, remove the two nuts holding the plastic cover on
the DC distribution box. See 2 . Remove the cover.

Attach the 48VDC yellow and gray power cable (17-03508-01) to the
MAT-N-LOCK connector at the lower right of the removable media
box. See 3 in Figure 2-3.

Attach the gray end to one of the gray colored terminals of the upper
bus bar and the yellow end to one of the yellow colored terminals of
the lower bus bar. See 4 .

Replace the plastic cover, being careful not to loosen the connector (cable 17-03124-01) at 5 .

Attach one end of the signal cable (17-03123-01) to the 20-pin connector at the upper right of the removable media box. See 6 . Expander
cabinets use the pre-installed cable 17-03442-01. Attach the other end
to connector J3 located toward the front of the CCL module.

Place a DSSI (12-31281-01) or SCSI terminator (12-37618-01) on the
right DSSI connector or left SCSI connector of the removable media
box. See 7 .

Attach the DSSI (BC21Q-09) or SCSI cable (BC10U-09) to the
unterminated connector of the removable media box. See 8 .

Route the cable to the left of the two plastic covers on the DC distribution box (see 9 in Figure 2-2), down the left side and along the bottom
edge (using clips) of the cooling system housing (see Figure 1-1), and
attach the other end to the XMI bulkhead connector.

10. Replace the plate (removed in step 1) at the rear of the removable media box.

Installation 2-5

2.2 Removal and Replacement
The removable media device is housed in a box mounted on rails
in the cabinet. Slotted captive screws hold the box in the cabinet.
Access is from the front of the cabinet.

1.

Pull up the handle on the AC power circuit breaker.

Close the cabinet doors.

Turn the control panel keyswitch to the Enable position; the system
will power up and run self-test.

In Example 3-1:
1

Self-test runs at power-up.

The user enters a show config command.

The first KZMSA adapter, kzmsa0, passes self-test. Kzmsa0 supports
the in-cabinet RRD42 CD drive.

The second KZMSA adapter, kzmsa1, also passes self-test. This
adapter supports the devices in the SCSI PIU.

The user enters a show device kzmsa0 (DEC AXP) or kfmsa0
(VAX) command. You can check to see if all the devices associated
with the KZMSA or KFMSA adapter are reported by issuing this
command.
