2.6 Expanded System Interface Cabling
This section provides rules and two examples of interface cabling configurations.
Use the examples to install cables for any DSSI and Ethernet cabling
configurations.

2.6.1 DSSI and Ethernet Configurations
The in DSSI device cabling configuration rules are:
•

DSSI cables must be connected such that if either zone encounters a failure
the other zone continues to have access to the failed zone devices.

•

No more than six device nodes may be connected to one DSSI cable.

•

Each individual disk or tape drive represents one DSSI node.

Table 2–8 specifies the number of DSSI nodes for each supported device.
Table 2–8 Supported Device Nodes
Device Type

DSSI Nodes

RF35 disk drive

SF35 storage array

RF73 disk drive

SF73 storage array

TF85C tape drive

The Ethernet interface module installation rule is:
•

Ethernet interface module installation in either zone starts at slot 10 and
progresses in order to slot 17.

Figure 2–4 is DSSI cabling Example 1. Note that the SF35 storage array is
located in Zone B of the expansion cabinet.
Note
Although they are not shown in Figure 2–4, Ethernet interface modules
are installed in slot 10 of Zone A and Zone B.

The first DSSI cable is cabled through an SF73 storage array to a TF85 tape
drive for a total of five DSSI nodes. The second DSSI cable is cabled through a
single SF35 storage array for a total of six DSSI nodes.
The DSSI host ID numbers are hardwired by the centerplane. Table 2–9 describes
the DSSI module placement and cabling for Example 1.

The first Zone A DSSI interface module is installed into card cage slot 17.

The first Zone B DSSI interface module is installed into card cage slot 16 to pair
with the DSSI module in slot 17 of Zone A.

A DSSI cable is installed from the interface module in slot 17 of Zone A to the
SF73 storage array. Another DSSI cable is installed from the SF73 storage array
to the TF85 tape drive.

A DSSI cable is installed from the TF85 tape drive to the interface module in slot
16 of Zone B. (See Figure 2–5.)

The second Zone A DSSI interface module is installed in slot 16, and the Zone B
counterpart module is installed in slot 17.

A DSSI cable is installed from the interface module in slot 16 of Zone A to the
SF35 storage array. Another DSSI cable is installed from the SF35 storage array
to the module in slot 17 of Zone B. (See Figure 2–5.)

Additional DSSI modules and cables would follow the cross-cabling pattern of steps
1 to 6.

3.5 Setting the Terminal Baud Rate
The default baud rate is 9600 for the local and remote terminal ports. Refer to
your terminal documentation for information on the baud rates.
VAXft Systems Model 810 Operating Information describes how to set the baud
rate using SET BAUD. The baud rates are: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, and
19200.

3.6 Final System Tests
The ROM-based diagnostics (RBDs) contain all the diagnostic software required

Caution
Do not run interactive RBDs at this time.

Table 3–6 Running Final System Tests
Step

Action

Install and boot the VMS operating system. See the VMS Upgrade and Installation
Supplement: VAXft Systems.

Run the User Environment Test Package (UETP). UETP can perform write/read
tests on RF-series disks. The VAX/VMS UETP User Guide describes how to use
UETP. Remember:

•

Run UETP only when the system installation is complete. At any other time,
you risk data corruption on shadowed disks.

•

Never run UETP without first contacting the responsible customer
representative or application manager.

When you are sure that the system is operating correctly, call the responsible
customer representative to install and test the software applications.

Function

AC Circuit Breaker

FEU Failure

When on, indicates the dc output voltages for the
FEU are below the specified minimum.

FEU OK

When on, indicates the dc output voltages for the
FEU are above the specified minimum.

DC3 Failure

When on, indicates that one of the +3 Vdc output
voltages is not within the specified tolerances.

DC3 OK

When on, indicates that the +3 Vdc output voltages
are within the specified tolerances.

AC Present

When on, indicates ac power is present at the ac
input connector, regardless of the position of the
circuit breaker.

DC5 Failure

When on, indicates that one of the +5 Vdc output
voltages is not within the specified tolerances.

DC5 OK

When on, indicates that the +5 Vdc output voltages
are within the specified tolerances.

PSC Failure

When on, indicates a PSC fault.

PSC OK

When blinking, indicates the PSC is performing
power-on self-tests.

Over Temperature
Shutdown

When on, indicates that the PSC shut down the
system because of an internal overtemperature
condition.

Fan Failure

When on, indicates a fan failure. Use the
hexadecimal number in the Fault ID Display to
isolate the fan.

Disk Power Failure

When on, indicates a disk power failure. Use the
hexadecimal number in the Fault ID Display to
isolate the storage compartment that houses the disk.

Fault ID Display

Displays power subsystem fault codes.

PSC Reset Button

When out, indicates a PSC fault condition. Press in
to reset.

CAMP Fan Fault

When on, indicates that a fan fault caused all disk
drives and tape drives to shut down.

When on, indicates the PSC is functioning.

Component

Description

Three-phase power cord

Connects the power distribution box to ac power.
The power cord may be repositioned by moving the
locking arm.

Circuit breaker

When set to on, ac power is applied to the
distribution box.

Local/Remote switch

The switch has icons representing Remote, Off, and
Local. When set to:
•

Local, the internal bus controls the operation of
ac power.

•

Off, the distribution box is turned off.

•

Remote, the distribution box is turned on (if the
power cord is connected to ac power and the
circuit breaker is set to on).

For power cords

Used to dress the power cords.

Eight ac outlets

Reserved for the FEU and expansion cabinet.
