CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION
The installation procedures contained in this manual provide system check-out and acceptance for the
DECSYSTEM-2020. Adherence to these procedures ensures that both the system and configuration

conform to design specifications. Where applicable, flow diagrams complement specific procedures
and appear at the beginning of each chapter. Personnel involvement, schedules, customer data, prereguisite assumptions, daily installation breakdowns, and sparing is contained in Chapter 2.

Unpacking and inspection procedures, Chapter 3, ensure that the proper system has been received at
the customer site, and all equipment has arrived in good physical condition. Chapter 3 also contains
unit placement information dealing with transporting the equipment from the loading dock to the site
location and the (deskidding) procedures to be followed.
Unit interconnection procedures in Chapter 4 provide installation and interconnection information for
the DECSYSTEM-2020. Included are: system positioning and grounding, cable identification, and
sequence of installation and routing.
Chapter 5 contains power check-out procedures required to verify that the power system is functioning
properly.

Total system operation is checked via the standard system checkout procedures in Chapter
6.
Reporting procedures such as LARS forms, installation reports, and daily logs are detailed in
Chapter 7.
.

CHAPTER 2

PLANNING DECSYSTEM-2020 INSTALLATION
2.1 INTRODUCTION
A critical factor in the pre-installation phase is to develop an installation plan agreeable to all parties
concerned prior to system delivery.

This chapter outlines personnel involvement, timescales, customer data, prerequisitte assumptions, and a daily hardware installation breakdown. An example of an installation planning sheet is shown in
Figure 2-1.
)
2.2 PERSONNEL
The DIGITAL personnel involved in the complete installation and acceptance plan are listed below
and should be consulted prior to the customer receiving such a plan.

Account Sales Representative

2.3

Software Representative

Field Service Account Supervisor/Manager
Field Service Account Representative
Field Service/Regional Support

SCHEDULING

The appropriate time to generate the installation plan is approximately 30 days prior to delivery. This
is close enough to installation time for people/resource commitments to be made and lessens the
chance of circumstances changing. |

2.6 SYSTEM SPARES
For systems which are geographically remote or isolated from repair/replacement facilities, a spare
parts checkout program should be considered prior to hardware acceptance. A quick go/no go, deadon-arrival check extends installation time approximately one day. Following checkout, it is required
that all spare modules be removed from the system and the originals replaced prior to hardware

acceptance.

When a spare parts checkout program is to be performed, care should be taken to tag all modules to be
tested or removed. The sequence of insertion should be planned prior to starting the test. An appropriate time to cycle spares is after all diagnostic checkout procedures have been completed; i.e., following
day 5 of the day-by-day installation plan (Paragraph 2.5).

A suitable sequence of diagnostics should be run after each module/module batch insertion. The
particular sequence will depend on which part of the system contains the spares being checked.
NOTE
Ensure the Installation/Acceptance Report has been
filled out properly.

CHAPTER 3
UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
3.1 SHIPPING AREA PROCEDURES (Refer to Figure 3-1.)
Because of dock or shipping area procedures and/or ease of performing inventory, the shipment may
be moved from the customer’s shipping area to the computer area. If so, follow the moving procedures
in Paragraphs 4.2 and 4.3 (Chapter 4) and then continue with Paragraph 3.2.

SEALED CONTAINERS
'
Ensure that all boxes are sealed and that system cabinets and free-standing peripherals are in their
shipping containers, which should be unopened. If anything is opened, call it to the attention of the
customer and document it on the installation report or field service report.

3.4 PACKING LIST
Check the shipment against the packing list to ensure that the correct number of packages has been
received. If an incorrect number of packages has been delivered notify the customer and the Branch

Service Manager (BSM) or the Branch Supervxsor (BS). The customer should check with the carrier to

locate the missing package(s) and have the missing package(s) delivered to the site. The BSM or BS
may have to check with the traffic and shipping departments to locate missing packages if the carrier
does not have them.
3.5 SHIPPING DAMAGES
Check all boxes for external damage. Inspect for dents, protrusxons holes, smashed corners and pins,
etc. If any boxes are damaged, notlfy the customer and document it on the installation report or field
service report.

3.6

OPENING SHIPPING CONTAINERS
Open the box with the red label marked READ ME FIRST and locate its packing slip. Inventory each
box against the packing slip and note any missing items on the installation report or field service
report. While performing inventory, inspect each item for damage. Note damaged items on the installation report or field service report and inform the customer immemdiately. If the damage is extensive,
call the Branch Service Manager immediately and report the damage.
3.7

INVENTORY

NOTE
If the keysheet is missing, stop the installation and

call the Branch Service Manager to locate the key_ sheet or transfer sheet.

Documentation is provided in the customer envelope to allow the customer and the field service person
to answer the following inventory questions.
~
1.

Have all the cartons and boxes been received?

Using the'shipper’s waybill, the number ofcontainers should be counted to ensure that none

were lost in shipment. If any are missing, the shipper should institute a trace or insurance

claim at the customer’s request.

Are all of the opti'ons.which the customer ordered present?
Using the Actual Cost Jobs Closes or Transfers sheet, the system configuration should be
inventoried for correct content and quantities of options. This form indicates what was
ordered from the manufacturing group.

Are all the accessories which should accompany the options and system present?

Using the accessory shipping lists, count and check every item contained in the boxes.
NOTE
Check the customer’s envelope for waiver forms
which indicate that items have been backordered and
will be shipped separately. Do not order waivered or
partialed items as short shipped.

If all items and parts have been received, inform the customer and continue witi1 the installation.
3.8

EXTERNAL DAMAGE INSPECTION
:
Check the system cabinets and free-standing peripherals for external damage to the shipping skid,

covers, etc. Inspect the shipping containers for signs of stress or abusive handling. Remove the poly-

ethylene covers and inspect external surfaces for scratches, holes, broken switches, broken panels,
dented end panels, broken stabilizer feet, and any other damage or sign of abusive handling during
shipment.
3.9 MISSING PARTS PROCEDURES
This section defines an order short shipment, and the procedures for processing a short shipment Pl
request through Field Service Logistics. It also outlines the procedures to follow when a missing item

Installation Short Shipment Procedures Flow .

A short shipment is an item or items identified on the shipping document as required to ship with the
order, but which inventory shows to be missing from the shipment. Paragraph 3.9.1 describes the
procedures to follow in case of short shipment.

If a required item is missing and is not listed on one of the shipping documents as having been shipped
or as required to ship, proceed to Paragraph 3.9.2.

3.9.1

NOTE
If the customer is performing the installation and
finds material missing, then the customer should
directly contact the account salesperson with the list
of missing parts.

Short Shipmen't Procedure

If an item is listed on one of the shipping documents as required to ship but it cannot be found when
the installation inventory is performed, it is short shipped.
&

NN BN -

Contact the branch logistics administrator and provide the following information.
DEC Number

. System Type
Customer Name
Product Line
System Serial Number
Part Number(s)
Part Description
Quantity

The branch logistics administrator will then assign an SBA number to the request and TWX it to the
regional logistics center with the following additional information.
1.
2.
3.

The branch office contact name and location
The SBA Number
'
Branch DECNET code
NOTE
When the materials requested are low cost and read-

ily available in the branch or regional stockroom,

they should be used and the Short Ship P1 should be
filled at that point. The materials used should then be
charged to the installation activity and product line.
The intent is to ensure that the customer will be serviced efficiently.
"
The regional logistics center should check their stock upon receipt of the Short Ship P1 request as
noted above. If parts cannot be released due to cost or availability, retransmit the TWX to the Woburn
P1 group immediately.

The Woburn PI group will log the Short Ship request, and TWX directly to the responsible Manufacturing Short Ship Coordinator, as listed by manufacturing, within two hours of receipt. Each manufacturing group in each plant has a designated coordinator in their facility who will receive the Short Ship

request from Woburn. The manufacturing coordinator will verify the request. The responsibilities of

the Field Service Short Ship Coordinator, from this point, will be to monitor and log the status of the
request as received from manufacturing until the SBA has been closed.

3-9

If the Manufacturing Short Ship Coordinator needs additional information, they will TWX questions
directly to the requesting branch, with a copy going to the Field Service Coordinator in Woburn for
logging. A response from the branch should go directly to the individual requesting the information in
manufacturing within 24 hours. When the branch responds, the request will resume processing.
The Manufacturing Short Ship Coordinator will check the request against the manufacturing records.
If it is determined that the request is not valid a TWX will be sent to the branch rejecting the order with
the reason why it is being rejected. A copy of the TWX will also be sent to the Logistics Coordinator
who will then close the SBA. Appeals (when deemed necessary by the Branch Service Manager) should
go directly to the person sending the rejection TWX if there was miscommunication, or to the account
salesperson for Product Line or customer resolution.
If the request is valid, the Manufacturing Short Ship Coordinator will TWX the Pl request status
directly to the branch with a copy to the Logistics Coordinator, giving parts availability and an estimated time of arrival. If the parts will not be readily available within two days, the Manufacturing
Coordinator will make the appropriate contact with the Product Line to authorize other priority
acquisition procedures. In any case, status of the Short Ship PI request should be sent by the Manufacturing Coordinator directly to the branch contact within 24 hours of manufacturing receipt of the
request.

3.9.2
Non-Short-Shipment Missing Items
The installing field person should provide the service manager or supervisor with the details of the
problem encountered. It should be made clear that this is not a short shipment but that it prevents
continuation or completion of the installation or customer acceptance.

Having collected the complete information, the Branch Service Manager should work with the customer’s account salesperson to determine if the item requested is a service aid or may be customer
required. A service aid is an item or tool that Field Service could use to improve the installation or

checkout process. This-information should be documented and sent to the proper support supervxsor
or the Regional Installation Quality Coordinator.
If the item is required by the customer, the account salesperson for the customer will gather all the

appropriate details and contact the appropriate product line representative. The product line representative will check the details and respond within 24 hours directly to the salesperson with their findings
and the actions that they will take and the time when it will be done. It is the salesperson’s responsibility to notify the service manager and the customer of the information received.

The product line representative will arrange directly with manufacturing for all materials to be prioritized, scheduled and shipped if it is determined to be the obligation of DIGITAL or'in the best interest
of the customer.

3.10

COMPLETION
This completes the unpacking and inspection phase. Documentation of the entire system should be
intact at this time. Notify the Branch Service Manager or Branch Supervisor of any discrepancies

noted during this phase.

If discrepancies such as damage do exist, the Branch Supervisor may want the customer to initiate an
insurance claim. For missing items, the Branch Service Manager or Branch Supervisor should initiate
a short ship request. All the problems should be discussed with the Branch Service Manager or Branch
Supervisor.

Customer claims on damaged equipment may be difficult to obtain if the equipment in question has
been removed from the skid. Therefore, if any damage exists, the damaged equipment should not be
deskidded or moved until authorized by the Branch Service Manager. The customer is responsible for

payment of the replacement or repair of damaged equipment. This arrangement will be discussed
between the customer and the Branch Service Manager. If damaged equipment is to be returned to
Digital Equipment Corporation, the procedures in Paragraph 3.12 should be followed.
3.11
SHIPMENTS DAMAGED IN TRANSIT
‘
This problem is documented in the Field Service Procedures Manual, Chapter 1, Paragraph 1.13. Refer
your supervisor/manager to this chapter whenever a damage situation arises.

3.12 RETURNING DAMAGED EQUIPMENT
Any piece of equipment to be shipped to Digital Equipment Corporation, as a return authorization
from the field, must be transported on a proper skid or in the container in which it was shipped. If the
equipment has been removed from a skid and it is not available, a replacement must be ordered from
Maynard Traffic or Stockroom 17.
Skids may also be manufactured in the locality of the customer site.
Part of the customer’s upgrade contract is that the customer is liable for all rigging and transportation
charges; therefore, the customer may be billed for the skids and associated hardware.
A sample of various devices is listed below, along with the respective skid part numbers.

When a return authorization has been validated by DIGITAL and a skid has been procured,
the
procedure for loading a piece of equipment for reshipment to DIGITAL is as follows.

Remove the end panels and front and rear outer doors.

Raise the leveler feet.

Carefully place the equipment on skids.

Tighten the shipping bolts and lower the leveler feet. Also, lower anystabilizer feet levelers

(if applicable).

Check to be sure that all shipping brackets for sliding chassis are in place and all module
hold-down bars are secured.

Replace all end panels and doors, securing the doors with door holders.

Crate the cabinet appropriately; i.e., use a polyethylene bag, corrugated wrap-around, etc.

3.13

SUMMARY
|
|
Documentation of the entire system should be completed at this time and all discrepancies should be

known and under control. Customer claims on damaged equipment may be difficult to obtain if the
equipment in question has been removed from a skid. Therefore, any piece of equipment that is to have
damage claims should not be deskidded since the customer is responsible for payment of replacement or
repair. This arrangement will be discussed between the customer and the Branch Service Man-

ager.When damages exist, the system should not be deskidded or moved until authorized by the Branch
Service Manager.

CHAPTER 4

UNIT PLACEMENT
AND SYSTEM INTERCONNECTION
4.1

EQUIPMENT MOVEMENT
See Figure 4-1. Move all boxes to the computer area. If inventory is complete, properly store the
documentation (e.g., prints, manuals, diagnostics, write-ups, etc.) in the storage facility - preferably a
cabinet with shelves. (A ‘storage cabinet is usually supplied by the local field service branch.) This
facilitates a smoother and more organized installation and eliminates hunting for prints, manuals, or
diagnostics in the various boxes.

4.2

KSI10 (2020) CABINET HANDLING

See Figure 4-2. Obtain the site layout sheet from the customer. Also, obtain the configuration sheet;
some product lines include it in the shipping documentation. Move the system cabinets to the com-

puter area.

The following recommendations for handling the cabinets should be followed.

4.3

At least two workers are required to handle each cabinet.

2.,

When the cabinet is to be pushed over steps (steel ramp over steps), riggers may be hired.

While loading or unloading a cabinet on a ramp, a *“‘come-along” (a type of block and
tackle) should be used to prevent loss of control over cabinet.

When moving cabinets on a smooth inclined plane having a pitch greater than 2.5 cm (1
inch) per foot (such as in corridors, hallways, etc.) or where a cabinet is at rest on an incline
plane of less than 3.55 cm (1.4 inch) per foot but when an applied horizontal force of less
than 4.53 kg (10 Ib) could move or slide the cabinet in either direction, a ““J” bar or a “‘comealong” should be used to control cabinet speed. See Figure 4-2.

When moving such a cabinet over any kind of carpet or rough floor, a *“roller lift” is required to prevent damage to flooring or equipment. See Figure 4-2.

If the cabinet is to be pulled over steps, or greater than 0.635 cm (1/4 inch) gaps or crevices
between buildings, partitions, etc., a flat steel plate or ramp should be used.

Fork lifting the cabinet can be accomplished if forks are inserted as shown in Figure 4-2.

DESKIDDING EQUIPMENT

4.3.1
Deskidding the KS10-A and DNHXX-A (KS10 Style Cabinets)
The KS10 and DNHXX-A are shipped on their own rollers, not on a skid. Carefully cut the
straps
holding the box to the KS10 or DNHXX-A cabinet and remove the box. Remove the plastic covering
from the cabinet.

LP20 Manual, EP-LP20-TM-004, Chapter 2

Document any damage and call it to the attention of the customer. If the damage is extensive, report the damage to the Branch Service Manager immediately. DIGITAL is not responsible for shipping damage on systems that are FOB from the manufacturing facility. If

reshipping equipment back to DIGITAL is required, follow the instructions listed in Paragraph 3.10.

Check each system cabinet and free-standing peripheral to ensure that they contain the items
identified on the keysheet or transfer sheet. Also, check the ECO REV level and serial
numbers against the keysheet or ECO status sheets. Document any missing items, wrong
serial-numbered item, or incorrect revision level item on the installation report or field service report. Ensure that the missing item is not covered by a waiver or an approved partial
ship. Also, update the keysheet if ECO status does not appear on it.
4.7

COMPONENT CHECKS

Check each power supply and controller for damage, loose components, loose screws, or extra hardware that may be laying on or lodged into a component board. Check the fans for the supplies to
ensure that cables and harnesses are clear of the fan blades and that the fans turn freely.

4.8

FASTENER CHECKS

Check all the crimps that are in all Mate-N-Lok type connectors, fast-on tabs, lugs, etc., for solid
connections. This can be accomplished by pulling on the wires. If a lug pulls out, reconnect it to its
plug and/or jack. Also, ensure that all connectors are seated properly.

4.9
CABLING CHECKS
.
Visually check all the cables and harnesses for crushed wires, cut wires, wires smashed together, etc.

(especially under logic cabinet door hinges). If any exist, repair or replace the wire(s) or harness. In
particular, check ribbon cable connections on UBA, RH11, DZ11, DUPI11, LP20 modules, and Massbus ribbon cables into the ZIF connectors (located on the interface connector plate at the upper rear of
the CPU).

4.10
BACKPLANE CHECKS
_
Visually inspect each logic backplane (KS10 and BA11-K) for bent pins, crushed or broken wires,
foreign material lodged between pins, or any other abnormality.

4.11
SYSTEM CABLES
Refer to the detailed cabling diagram prepared before system delivery, and install the system cables

the order indicated.

NOTES

All cables should be run from point to point, keeping
the following in mind.

If a false floor does not exist, then all power,
ground and system cables should be protected
or positioned such that personnel cannot tread
upon, trip over, or walk over these cables.

All cables (including ground cables) run under
the flooring except RP06 and RMO03 cables,
which run above floor between drives. Refer to
the RP06 or RM03 maintenance manual for

further information.
3.

All cables should be labeled on both ends, stating the device type and the slot numbers where
they come from and go to.

No signal cables should run parallel with
power cables, but should cross them at a 90

angle.

Cables should not be drawn tight around cabi-

net corners or floor posts.

If false floor exists ensure that the sub-floor.is
clean before cables are placed.

4.12

CABLE INSTALLATION

4.12.1 RPO06 Cable Installation
Reference should be made to the Memorex Technical Manual (677-01/51) for the correct power connection. This is outlined in the installation chapter of the manual.

NOTE
.One 3-phase power source may supply up to 2 RP06
disk drives. If additional RP06 disk drives are part of
the system, separate power sources must be supplied.
Refer to Figures 4-4 and 4-5.

The BC06S Massbus cable is connected from the Massbus transition plate located at the upper rear of
the CPU cabinet to the IN connector block of Port A located beneath the DCL logic box.
If the system has one drive only a Massbus terminator must be connected to the OUT slot of Port A.

For additional drives continue the Massbus cabling from the OUT slot in Port A of Drive 0 to the IN
slot of the next drive, using .762 meter (2.5 feet) BCO6S cables until the last drive is reached where a
Massbus terminator will be installed in the OUT slot of Port A thus terminating the Massbus.
There are several No. 4 gauge (black) ground cables supplied with each system. The ground connection
for the RP06 disk drives should be made from the KS10 CPU cabinet to the first drive on the system
and then linked from drive to drive. These cables should run in parallel to the Massbus cables. The
ground stud can be located on the RP06 beneath the DCL. Ground studs can be located on the base
frame of the CPU cabinet.

backplane between EO6E1 and E09C2. If the
jumper is not installed, the diagnostics will fail
and the drive will not format a pack. The
jumper grounds signal BP144 ENB M on
page D56 of the MBA printset.

Each drive should have a separate single phase
power source.

Refer to Figure 4-4 and Figure 4-6.

The BC06S Massbus cable is connected from the Massbus transition plate located at the upper rear of
the CPU cabinet to the IN Massbus connector J3 (Port A) of the RMO03 located at the front of the
MBA logic box. If the system has one drive only, a Massbus terminator must be connected to J2, the
OUT connector of Port A located at the rear of the MBA logic box.
For additional drives continue the Massbus cable from the Massbus connector OUT slot J2 in drive 0
to the IN slot, J3 of the next drive using 4.572 m (15 foot) BC06S Massbus cables and terminate the last
drive_with a Massbus terminator in J2.

There are several No. 4 gauge ground cables supplied with each system. The ground connection for the
RMO03s should be made from the KS10 CPU cabinet to the first drive on the system and then linked
from drive to drive. These cables should run parallel to the Massbus cables. The ground stud for the
RMO03 and the CPU can be located on the base frame of each cabinet.

4.123 - TU45 Cable Installation

Refer to the Pertec Service Manual for power connection directions.

NOTE
Each drive should have a separate single phase power
source.

Refer to Figure 4-4 and Figure 4-7.

The BC06S Massbus cable is connected from the Massbus transition plate located at the upper rear of
the CPU cabinet to the master TU45 drive. This is the drive containing the TM02/3 controller. The
Massbus connectors are located on a plate at the bottom of the drive beneath the TMO02 controller.
Access can be made from the rear of the drive to connect the Massbus. Connect the Massbus terminator to the OUT slot of the Massbus connector.

short
BCO6S cable (or the long BCO6S cable if the system has no TU45) to the factory in Marlboro,

MA.

The BC11A-13 cable from the DNHXX-AA/AB is routed to the KS10 BA11-K drawer. The

BC11A-13 cable is routed via the cable trough and clamped in the KS10. When the cable
has been
secured, remove the last system unit installed in the KS10 BA11-K box and insert the
BC11A-13
cable.

Install the CR04 Card Reader cable (7008764) between the card reader and Slot B02 of the CD?20
controller in the peripheral expander box. (See Figure 4-11.)
Connect single-phase power. Ensure reader is set for correct input voltage.
Run the CD20 diagnostics, if applicable, for a minimum of 12 passes, with one manual
intervention pass. Refer to the diagnostic for detailed information. Diagnostic run time
will vary
depending on the card reader. The Unibus interrupt vector is 230, the address is 777160,
and the

CHAPTER 6

STANDARD SYSTEM CHECKOUT PROCEDURES
6.1
INTRODUCTION
|
This chapter provides the installation engineer with a diagnostic sequence which, when successfully

completed, enables the TOPS-20 monitor to be loaded and run. Any problems or errors that occur

should be fixed and associated diagnostics rerun before continuing with the sequential checkout. The
diagnostic run sequence is flowcharted in Figure 6-1.
If an option is listed but is not included in the system, skip the associated diagnostic process for that
option and proceed to the next step. For NORAM the completion of system checkout constitutes
running the Standard Test Procedures outlined in this chapter and beginning the 90-day warranty

period.

NOTE
The examples found at the end of each phase list the

CTY printout in capital letters. Input or response to questions is in boldface type.

6.4 PHASE A - 8080 CONSOLE TESTING
The 8080 console checkout will ensure the console board is capable of executing bus dialogue to access
the KS10 bus, memory, I/O registers and CRAM. Also, the console fault indicators and remote
diagnosis path will be verified.
NOTES

This checkout is not intended to establish confidence in the KS10 bus, memory, 1/0O regis-

ters, or CRAM, only the consoles ability to
access them.
'

All console commands will not be verified,
only those necessary to perform bus dialogue.

6.4.4 Lamp Test
Perform a lamp test (LT). This will light all lamps, turn them off (except power) then restore ongmal
state.

6.4.5 KS10 Bus Operations
KS10 Bus operations will be verified by depositing 1s on the bus and then examining the bus to ensure
their placement. This process will be repeated with Os, alternating 1 and 0, and alternatmo Oand I. The
commands used for this test are:
EB (examine bus)
DB (deposit bus).

Refer to Example 6.1.

6.4.6 Memory Operations
Memoery operation will be verified by examining a specific memory location, depositing Is into that
location, and then examining the location to ensure their placement. This process will be repeated with
0Os, alternating 1 and O, and alternating 0 and 1. The commands used for this test are:
EM (examine memory)
DM (deposit memory).
Refer to Example 6.2.
6.4.7

1/0 Operations
I/O operations will be verified by addressing the RHI11's word count register, depositing Is into that
register, and then examining the register to verify the contents. This process will be repeated with Os,
alternating | and 0, and alternating O and 1. The commands used for this test are:
EI (examine I/0O)
DI (deposit I/0).

Refer to Example 6.3.
6.4.8
Fault Detection
.
Testing of the console’s ability to detect a fault will be accomplished by producing a parity error in

CRAM. This will be indicated by the fault lamp lighting. Examine CRAM location 0; this could
produce the fault. If the fault indicator did not come on, deposit a 3 into CRAM and examine 0. This
will produce the error and light the front indicator. The commands used for this test are:

EC (examine CRAM)
DC (deposit CRAM).
Refer to Example 6.4.
6.4.9

CRAM Operation

CRAM operation will be verified by selecting a specific location in CRAM, depositing s into that
location, and then examining the location to ensure their placement. This process will be repeated with
Os, alternating | and 0, and alternating 0 and 1. The commands used for this test are:

LC (load CRAM address)

DC (deposit CRAM)
EC (examine CRAM).

NOTE
Ignore any parity errors which may occur but ensure
alternating 1 and O are in place.

Refer to Example 6.5.

6.4.10

Remote Link

The establishment of a remote link will verify the REMOTE input path to the consoleis functioning
properly. The procedure to test this pathis as follows.
1.

Peffo.rm a master reset (MR).

Place the remote diagnosis switch located on the front panel to the ENABLE position.

Ensure the remote indicator lights (after a few seconds).

Enter KL 1 (REMOTE link).
Remove the CTY cable and the remote cable from the connectors in the back of the system.
(See Figure 4-4.)

Place the CTY cable into the remote connector.
Enter 2 CONTROL BACKSLASHES.

The CTY will respond with KS10>.

This response indicates the path is good, baud rate is set properly, and the remote
UART (universal asynchronous receiver transmitter) is functioning.

Replace and secure the CTY and remote cables to their original positions.

Ensure the modem and associated cables are connected properly.
Have DDC (Digital Diagnostic Center) or the branch office call into the MODEM and
establish the link.
NOTE
A CTY and acoustic coupler are needed at the remote site.
10.

Have the DDC or branch office set their CTY baud rate to 300 and enter 2 CONTROL
BACKSLASHES.
a.

The response on both terminals (remote and local) will be KS10>.

This response indicates the link has been established.

11.

Enter KLO and place ;he remote diagnosis switch to the DISABLE position.

6.8 PHASE E - MASS STORAGE DEVICE CHECKOUT
The purpose of this chapteris to run both the basic and reliability tests on the RM03 and RP06 (disk
drives) and the reliability test on the TU45 (tape drive). The reliability test for the disks will be run
overnight. Paragraph 6.8.2 describes the procedure for the overnight disk reliability run. The decision
of which mass storage device to test first depends on whether diagnostics are being run from disk or
magtape. Whichever deviceis being used as a load source, the other will be tested first.
6.8.1
Disk Subsystem Checkout
The basic disk diagnostic DSRMA for RM03s or DSRPA for RP06s will be run to test the drives. It is
first necessary to run DSRMB to format the scratch packs and check compatibility.
1.

Formatting

Mount and cycle up a scratch pack(s) on the drive(s) to be tested.

Load DSRMB from magtape. Refer to Paragraph 6.5.2.

" ¢.

Within DSRMB run test PAKINT to format and verify all scratch packs. Refer to
Example 6.11.

Compatibility
a.

b.
3.

The same formatted pack should be rotated to each common drive in the system.

Verify that each drive of the same type (RMO3 or RP06) can read the same formatted

pack. Refer to Example 6.12.

Basic Disk Diagnostic

Follow the appropriate example:
Example 6.13 for DSRMA (RMO03), or,
Example 6.14 for DSRPA (RP06).

All drives will successfully complete at least one error free pass.
NOTE
A CONTROL T during either DSRMA or DSRPA
will type the current test PC.

This completes the basic disk diagnostic. At this point the subsystem is ready for the over-

night reliability test. Refer to Paragraph 6.8.2.
6.8.2
Disk Overnight Reliability
The disk reliability (DSRMB) will be run overnight on all RMO03s and RP06s. The portion to run
within DSRMB is entitled TOTAL. This will run all the tests. An example ofstarting TOTAL is given
in Example 6.15.

Load DSRMB from the diagnostic tape as outlined in Paragraph 6.5.2.

Mount the formatted scratch packs on all RM03s and RP06s to be tested.

6-19

- Example 6.15 tested only one dnve To test more than one drlve answer the questlons
appropnately as glven m the example .
NOTE
Summary data is output every hour of run time.
Check this data for hard errors that are not pack
attributable. Each drive should complete at least one
pass of “TOTAL".

4.
6.8.3

If the tape drive has been tested proceed to Paragraph 6.9, Phase D - Communications and
Hardcopy Device Checkout. If not, continue with Paragraph 6.8.3.
Magtape Subsystem Checkout

The reliability diagnostic (DSTUB) should be loaded from the RED PACK as described in Paragraph
6.5.1. An error free pass of each magtape diagnostic should be successfully completed for each dnve on
the system. Refer to Example 6.16 for an outline of the procedure.
NOTE
Recoverable bad spots on the magtape are allowed.

With the write ring inserted, mount a scratch tape and set it to the load point on each drive
to be tested.

Using Example 6.16 as a guide, run the reliability (DSTUB) diagnostic.
|
NOTE
When a system has more than one magtape unit, the

compatibility test must be run. Refer to Example
6.17.

This completes the magtape subsystem checkout. Proceed to Paragraph 6.9, Phase E - Communications and Hardcopy Device Checkout.

CHAPTER 7

REPORTING PROCEDURES
7.1
INTRODUCTION
The job of installation is not complete until the reports are generated. The reports form
an important
part of the customer history file, and the feedback to regional and corporate quality control
is essential
to maintaining a check on the quality of installation and pinpointing problem
areas when they arise.

7.2
LARS REPORT FORM
The Labor Acceptance Reporting System (LARS) form is the primary method of reporting
and may
not be substituted by any other form. However, in some instances another installation feedback
form
may be necessary.
Accuracy is essential when writing LARS forms which are used to gather data for statistics.

Therefore.
the installer should be familiar with the LARS manual (EK-LARS-FS-00X). This manual has a chapter specifically on installation and how to apply the various codes not usually used during normal
PM
.or on fault-finding calls. Several examples are included for clarification.

Figure 7-1is a sample LARS form used on a typical DECSY STEM-2020 installation. To create a
valid
LARS data base for statistical analysis, the following rules should be applied when filling
in blanks.
1.

Assigned Person

The assigned person should use all necessary installation codes and complete the
MATERIAL USED and COMMENTS section.

Unassigned person. This person should duplicate the assigned person’s coding if he is
plainly assisting on the same device, except for the MATERIALS USED section which
he will leave blank and only write in the COMMENTS section: “assisting.” However,

. the unassigned person working on a separate device has the responsibility for reporting
this activity.

Product Line - There are four LCG product lines and the appropriate designation should
be
used for a particular system.

Activity Codes
NORAM - The new system installation code N should be used from the start of installation
until completion of all DIGITAL standard diagnostics (i.e., completion of Chapter § ofthis
manual). All activity for the next 90 days, including the hardware and software acceptance
periods, shall be booked under code W.
Other Areas - If a day 1 contract after acceptance exists, then the new system installation
code (N) should be used from delivery of the system until customer acceptance.
Add-Ons - An add-on should be booked to code N from the start of installation until
customer acceptance.
|

Type of Call - Installation code I should be used for all hardware installation.

MODULE/FAIL AREA/FCO
- This area should contain pertinent data or comments to
complement the action code and installation code. If additional comment is necessary, then
the COMMENTS section of the LARS form may be used. However, the primary information area should be the MODULE/FAIL AREA/FCO portion.

7.3
DECSYSTEM-2020 INSTALLATION REPORT
The quality assurance group within LCG Corporate Support will selectively include this form with
some system shipments. Its purpose is to gain complete installation profiles on one summary sheet and
to receive written feedback on the appended device sheets. If such a form is received it should be

completed and returned,

|

The report is preceded by some instructions on how to fill out the sections which are not
self-explanatory.
74 DAILY LOG
|
To assist in the detailed completion of the above forms, a daily installation activity log should be
maintained by the installation supervisor/engineer. If several people are involvedin the installation,
their daily activity should be noted by the responsible installation engineer to ensure that all workis
logged.

Software Installation Hours - Time spent on site by the engineers during the installation of software; i.e., from the date of hardware acceptance until the system is taken

over by the customer. This means to the date of contract or until the date
of beginning
a customer or government prolonged acceptance test with the system being used normally by the customer.
e.

Unusual Installation Hours - This is the period after the completion of software installation during which there may be a customer or government acceptance period, or a
reluctance on the part of the customer to sign the field service contract.
When figures are entered in the Unusual Installation Hours column, a brief note on the
reasons why it was necessary to record unusual hours should be entered; for example,
“system subject to CCA acceptance trial.”

Section 4
List Options Delivered with Serial Nos. - This section provides a record of the equipment on
site; it also serves as a check on the LCG equipment data base.

Section 5
List any missing items under the appropriate headings. Missing cosmetic items holding up
the acceptance of the system should be noted here.

Section 6

Physical Condition of System - A very brief note on the physical condition ofthe system,
paying particular attention to damage rather than the expected good condition; for example,
CPU door bent in transit, or door paint scratched. In the event that there was no damage,
state “No damage.”
Section 7
Spares - A brief statement, as appropriate, describing the availability of spares at the time of
installation.

Section 8
Condition of Site - A brief statement outlining the readiness of the three major site
parameters; i.e., physical condition, electrical, and environmental status.
Section 9
Installation Faults - Complete this section under the four columns and add extra sheets if
necessary. Components or modules which were “dead-on-arrival’” should be marked with
DOA. Production and quality control consider this information very wvaluable.
