1.1 Customer Pre-Installation Checklist
Suggested site planning guidelines and tasks are listed
below. The tasks can be completed before system delivery.
To facilitate the installation process, it is recommended that
the customer plan ahead and coordinate site planning and
scheduling details with DIGITAL.

Planning the Site

Plan the physical layout of the system cabinet, disk or tape cabinet,
console terminal, and other system units.
Plan to place all equipment away from heavy traffic centers.

Determine number, type, and location of required AC power receptacles
and circuit breakers.

Determine system power consumption to calculate the input line power
requirements.

Obtain cabinet weights and dimensions to check against floor loading
restrictions.

Checking the Delivery Route

Check the height, width, and location of doors and passageways.

Check floor loading requirements

and protective

covering along

passageways.

If applicable, check the size, capacity, and availability of the elevator.

VAX 6000400 Installation Guide

The VAX 6000—400 works as a stand-alone system or as a member of
a VAXcluster.. The system supports a full set of VAX applications and
allows for processor, memory, and I/O expansion. Table 1-1 lists VAXBI
options supported by the VAX 6000—400. One KDB50 disk controller or
one CIBCA VAXcluster adapter is standard equipment, depending on the
system configuration.

The minimum amount of clearance space for the front and rear of the VAX
6000—400 is 1 meter (39 inches) as shown in Figure 1-1.

Air is taken in through the front and rear doors by the two blowers located
in the lower half of the cabinet. The air is circulated up through the card
cages and power regulators as shown in Figure 1-2.

If you are installing a system on a raised floor, ensure that a proper airflow
path is provided. If the floor has perforated tiles, position one or two tiles
in areas where air will enter the cabinet. If the floor has aluminum grills,
position two grills under the area where air enters the cabinet.

VAX 6000400 Installation Guide

The VAX 6000—400 power system has the following modules:
e

H405 AC power controller

H7206 power and logic unit

Three H7214 DC power regulators

QOptional H7231 battery backup unit

Transformer (50 Hz systems only)

e Two H7215 DC power regulators

Most of the power modules are visible from the rear of the cabinet (see
Figure 1-5). For more information on these modules, refer to the VAX
6000-400 Options and Maintenance manual.

Most systems have two switched IEC 320 receptacles located on the H405
AC power controller. The receptacles are fused at 10 amps for 60 Hz
systems and at 6 amps for 50 Hz systems. They are reserved. All systems
have one unswitched IEC 320 receptacle fused at 2 amps. This receptacle
is for use with the H7231 battery backup unit. For expander cabinet power
requirements, see the VAXBI Expander Cabinet Installation Guide.

Figure 4-1:

REAR

SLOT

msb-0030-89

4-2

VAX 6000400 Installation Guide

Open the rear cabinet door.

Find the VAXBI backplane slot corresponding to the CIBCA controller
module (T1045).
The two CIBCA modules occupy adjacent slots;
the controller module is the leftmost module as seen from the rear.
(Typically the controller is in the VAXBI cage on the left, fourth slot
from the left as seen from the rear.)

Insert jumpers between backplane pins to set the cluster node address,
as follows. You set the address twice—once on VAXBI segment D and
once on segment E (see Figure 4-1).
The address is a binary number, for which you insert a jumper to
represent each bit that is "one" (see Figure 4-2).

Table 4-1 shows jumper settings for the first 24 node addresses. For
example, assume you are installing this VAX 6000—400 as VAXcluster
node 9 (binary 1001). You would insert jumpers on segment D between
pins 9-39 and 12—42. You would also insert jumpers on segment E
between pins 5—-35 and 8-38.

to a test number. If a test fails, the last decimal digit printed in the
progress trace line represents the number of the failed test. In the
following example, test #17 failed:
$123456789

01234567

® The NODE# line indicates node numbers on either the XMI or the

VAXBI bus. The nodes are numbered in hexadecimal and the order
reflects the position of the XMI slots as viewed from the front of the
cabinet.

XMI modules use node numbers 1 through E. On the XMI bus, node
numbers correspond to the 14 physical slot numbers of the card cage.
The VAXBI card cage slot and node numbers are not identical. Node
plugs on the VAXBI backplane identify the node numbers. Nodes may
be numbered 0 through F on the VAXBI but VAXBI channels in the
VAX 6000—400 system have node ID plugs 1 through 6.
When you read lines TYP, STF, BPD and ETF, NODE# numbers refer to
XMI nodes. When you read XBI lines, NODE# numbers refer to VAXBI
nodes.

® The TYP line indicates whether the module at each XMI node is an I/O

adapter (A), processor (P), or memory module (M). A dot indicates that
the node is not populated.

@ The STF line shows the results of self-test for XMI modules: + (pass),

—(fail), or o (does not apply). When the system is enabled, processors
and memory nodes perform self-test. Processor self-test completes in
10 seconds, and memory self-test completes within 60 seconds. A "o"
appears for DWMBA adapters, because these modules are tested after
initial self-test.

In the example, the first VAXBI bus (VAXBI Cage 1 in Figure 6—2)
accessed through the DWMBA/A module at XMI node D passed selftest (XBI D +). All VAXBI modules on this bus (nodes 1, 4, and 6)
passed self-test (+).

1 The progress trace line prints if the baud rate is set at 1200 or above. The processor in slot
1 of the XMI card cage prints out the progress trace line. This processor is not necessarily
the boot processor.

System Self-Test

6-5

The second VAXBI bus accessed through the DWMBA/A module at node
E, also passed self-test (XBI E +). All VAXBI modules on this bus (nodes
1, 4, and 6) passed self-test (+).
You can enter HELP SELFTEST at the console prompt for more information
on the self-test display lines.
Or refer to the VAX 6000—<400 Owner’s
Manual.

Verification
After the system passes self-test, you must verify system operation. First,
test the TK load path and run diagnostics under the VAX Diagnostic
Supervisor. Then you may customize the system by setting EEPROM
parameters. Save the EEPROM contents on tape. Finally, verify the
operating system.

Qualifier /XMI specifies XMI node E.
Qualifier /BI specifies VAXBI node 4.

Qualifier /NODE specifies the CI node number of the HSC controller.
In this example, the system disk is dual-ported to two HSC controllers
at nodes 04 and 05. A disk ported to only one HSC has a qualifier
like /NODE:04. See the CIBCA User Guide for instructions on setting

VAXcluster nodes and numbers.

Qualifier /R5 is used to load register R5 with the number of the root
directory for the operating system. In this example the root is SYS4.
Note that the root directory number must be in the high-order four bits.
In this example the system disk is unit number 0 on the HSC
controllers. You can now boot from the VAXcluster path by issuing
the BOOT command.

The second SET command defines a path for booting from a local disk
instead of from the VAXcluster. The boot name LOC is arbitrary. The
path is disk unit number 1 on the disk controller whose VAXBI node
number is 4. (Refer to the SHOW CONFIGURATION display; the
KDB50 is at node 4 of the first VAXBI displayed. The DWMBA/A
adapter is node D on the XMI bus.)

You can now boot from the local disk by issuing the BOOT LOC
command.

KA64A Module Handling Procedures
The KA64A module is static sensitive and fragile. The CMOSZ2 technology
used on this module is more vulnerable to static than past technology.
The 25 mil leads used to attach chips to the module are very small, close
together, and easily bent. Careless handling can easily damage the module.
Follow these procedures when handling this module.

B.1 Handling the KA64A Module
The KA64A module must be handled carefully. Figure B-1 shows the
proper way to hold the module. Be sure your hands do not touch any
components or leads. When inserting it in or removing it from the XMI
card cage, grasp the module only at the spot shown in Figure B-2, avoiding
any contact with the 25 mil leads. Do not use any component as a handle.

To avoid damaging the KA64A module, follow these handling procedures:
1.

Always wear an antistatic wrist strap.

Before removing the module from its ESD box, place the box on a clean,
stable surface.

Be sure the box will not slide or fall. Never place the box on the floor.
And be sure no tools, papers, manuals, or anything else that might
damage the module are near it. Some components on this module can
be damaged by a 600-volt static charge; paper, for example, can carry
a charge of 1000 volts.

Hold the module only by the edges, as shown in Figure B-1.
Do not hold the module so that your fingers touch any components,
leads, or XMI fingers. Be sure you do not bend the module as you are

B.2 Inserting the KA64A Module in an XMI Card
Cage
You must take special precautions when inserting the KA64A module in or
removing it from the XMI card cage.
1.

Be sure, when inserting the module in or removing it from the XMI
card cage, that no part of the module comes in contact with another
module or a cable.

When swapping out a module, place it in an unused XMI slot, if one is
available, or set the module on an ESD mat while you install the new
module.

An unused XMI slot is the best place to leave a module that is being
swapped out until it can be placed in the ESD box. If there are no
extra slots, place the module you removed on an ESD mat on a stable,
uncluttered surface, with side 1 (the side with the heat sinks) up. Do

not put it on the top of the system cabinet. And never slide the module
across any surface. The leads on the components are fragile and can be
damaged by contact with fingers or any surface.

Hold the XMI card cage handle while removing or inserting the module.
If it is not held in place, the handle can spring down and damage the

module.

When inserting the module in the card cage, grasp it as shown in

Do not attach the repair tag to the module.

Figure B-2, and slide it slowly and gently into the slot.

Place the repair tag in the plastic bag attached to the bottom of the
ESD box. Allowing the repair tag to come in contact with the module
can cause damage to a component.
