1.1.1 RZ2x Hard Disk Drive SCSI ID
Before you install the RZ23L, RZ24, or RZ25 drive in the system, you
need to verify the SCSI ID setting as follows:
1. Turn the RZ23L, RZ24, or RZ25 drive so that the bottom of the
drive is facing you. Find the SCSI ID jumpers, which are removable
electrical connectors, that allow you to select a unique ID number for
each SCSI device:
— If you have an RZ23L or RZ24 drive, find jumpers E1, E2, and E3.
— If you have an RZ25 drive, find jumpers P1, P2, and P3.
NOTE
If your hard disk drive was not factory installed, it could have
been shipped with all the jumpers attached (to prevent loss of
jumpers when shipping and unpacking). In this case, the SCSI
ID is set to 7, and you may need to change it.
2. Verify that the jumpers are set to the appropriate positions for SCSI
ID 0, 1, or 2. These are the positions that the RZ2x drive normally
uses. If you have one RZ23L, RZ24, or RZ25 drive that was factory
installed, verify that the jumpers are set for SCSI ID 3. If you have
two RZ23L, RZ24, or RZ25 drives that were factory installed, verify
that the jumpers on one of them are set for SCSI ID 3, and that the
jumpers on the other are set to either SCSI ID 0, 1, or 2. Any RZ2x
drive can be set to SCSI ID 0, 1, 2, or 3, if no other drive uses that
ID. See Table 1–2 (for RZ23L and RZ24 drives) or Table 1–3 (for RZ25
drives) for the correct jumper positions for each of these SCSI IDs.

Mass Storage Devices 1–3

NOTE
Settings should be changed only when a system is configured with
more than one of a particular device. You are responsible for the
SCSI ID settings on your equipment.
If you are adding an RZ23L, RZ24, or RZ25 drive, the SCSI ID
could need changing. Drives not factory installed could have all
jumpers in place (set for position 7) to prevent misplacing the
jumpers during shipping and unpacking.
Figure 1–1 shows the location of the RZ2x drive SCSI ID jumpers.

1.2 RRD42 CDROM Disc Drive
The RRD42 CDROM compact disc drive is a storage device that reads
data from removable compact discs. The drive has a storage capacity of
600 Mbytes. The RRD42 drive can be used to install the VMS operating
system and other software, and to access read-only databases, such as
online documentation sets. The drive has audio output capabilities,
allowing the use of headphones for listening to audio information recorded
on the compact disc.

1.2.1 RRD42 CDROM Disc Drive SCSI ID
Before installing the RRD42 drive, verify the SCSI ID on the drive as
follows:
1. Turn the RRD42 drive so that the rear of the drive is facing you. Find
SCSI ID jumpers 0, 1, and 2, on the rear of the drive, as shown in
Figure 1–2. Jumpers are removable electrical connectors that allow
you to select a unique ID number for each SCSI device.
2. Verify that the jumpers are set as follows:
Jumper 0 = Out (removed)
Jumper 1 = Out (removed)
Jumper 2 = In (attached)
These are the positions for SCSI ID 4, which is the default SCSI ID for
the drive.

1.3 RX26 Diskette Drive
The RX26 is a half-height diskette drive that can be used for selective file
backup, load applications, and transporting files between non-networked
systems. The RX26 drive has a storage capacity of 4 Mbytes. It can be
used to read and write on 4 Mbyte standard floppies, and to read only 700
KB standard floppies.

1.3.1 RX26 Diskette Drive SCSI ID
Before installing the RX26 drive in the system, verify the SCSI ID setting.
1. Turn the RX26 drive so that the left side of the drive is facing you.
Find the SCSI ID switches 1, 2, and 3 on the drive, as shown in
Figure 1–3.
2. Use a pen or small pointed object to move the switches up or down.
CAUTION
Do not use a pencil to move switches. Graphite particles can
damage the SCSI switches.
Digital recommends that the SCSI ID switches be set to 5 as follows:
Switch 1 = Down (on)
Switch 2 = Up (off)
Switch 3 = Down (on)
NOTE
Default settings should be changed only when a system is
configured with more than one of a particular device. You are
responsible for the SCSI ID settings on your equipment.
If you need to use a different ID, choose a new ID from Table 1–10. Use a
small pointed instrument (but not a pencil), set the switches accordingly.
CAUTION
Never set two devices to the same SCSI ID; the system cannot
communicate with devices set to the same ID.
To install the RX26 drive, refer to the VAXstation 4000 Model 60 Options
Installation Guide (PN EK-PMARI-IG).

1.4 TZK10 (QIC) Tape Drive
The TZK10 tape drive is a half-height device that uses industry standard
quarter-inch cartridge (QIC) tapes for loading applications and doing file
backups. The formatted capacity of the QIC tape is 320 Mbytes or 525
Mbytes, depending on the tape used.

1.4.1 TZK10 Tape Drive SCSI ID
Before installing the TZK10 drive, verify the SCSI ID on the drive as
follows:
1. Turn the TZK10 drive so that the rear of the drive is facing you.
Find SCSI ID jumpers 0, 1, and 2. Jumpers are removable electrical
connectors that allow you to select a distinct ID for each SCSI device.
2. Verify that the jumpers are set as follows:
Jumper 0 = In (attached)
Jumper 1 = Out (removed)
Jumper 2 = In (attached)
These are the positions for SCSI ID 5, which is the setting that the TZK10
drive normally uses.
NOTE
Default settings should be changed only when a system is
configured with more than one of a particular device. You are
responsible for the SCSI ID settings on your equipment.

If you want to use a different ID, choose a new ID from Table 1–13 and
carefully remove or replace jumpers accordingly. Use tweezers or another
small tool to remove or replace jumpers.
NOTE
Save any SCSI jumpers you remove for later use, if necessary.

2–1

2–2 Optional System Modules

2.1 MS44 Memory Module
The MS44 memory module is designed to provide expandable memory
for the VAXstation 4000 Model 60 system. The memory array consists
of 36 DRAMs organized as one bank of four- to nine-bit bytes. Timing
and addressing of the array are provided by the system module and are
buffered on the memory module. Data lines are unbuffered on the module
and are driven on bi-directional lines to and from the DRAMs. All data
and control lines receive one unit load per module.
Three types of memory module are available: 4 Mbyte (MS44-AA),
4 Mbyte Reduced Cost (MS44-AL), and 16 Mbyte (MS44-CA). The
VAXstation 4000 Model 60 can use any of the three memory modules.
Memory modules must be installed in pairs; two 4 Mbyte modules for two
16 Mbyte modules.
To identify a memory module, locate the etch on the left side of the
memory module. The 4 Mbyte modules have AA or AL on the etch board,
and the 16 Mbyte modules have CA on the etch board. The memory
modules are shown in Figure 2–1.
When the module pairs are configured together, the MS44-AA module
pairs should be installed in the lower numbered areas. The maximum
system memory configuration is 104 Mbytes for the Model 60.
For additional information on installing memory modules, refer to the
VAXstation 4000 Model 60 Service Information (PN EK-V466B-SV).
