CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION

1.1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE
Th is manual descr i bes how to unpack, install, and check out the
TSV05 Tape Transport Subsystem.
It also describes the capabilities and basic functions of the subsystem.
An overview of the
functional characteristics and the physical specifications appears
in Chapter 1, while Chapter 2 is devoted to the installation proced ures.
Readers interested in only the installation proced ures
should bypass Chapter 1 and go directly to Chapter 2.
For further
information, refer to the documents listed in Section 1.4.
1.2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TSV05 Tape Transport Subsystem provides magnetic tape storage
capabilities to computer systems using quad-sized LSI-II bus backplanes.
The subsystem reads or writes up to 160,000 bytes per
second in ANSI standard format.
Data is recorded by phase encoding 1600 bits per inch on nine-track tape.
Reading and writing
are performed at either 25 or 100 inches per second.*
The TSV05
subsystem is hardware compatible with 18- and 22-bit addressing
versions of the LSI-II bus quad backplane.
It is software compatible with system and application programs written for the TSll
tape transport subsystem (as long as such programs use the DECsupplied device handler).
Tape formatting, error detection and
correction, and self-test diagnostics are included as integral
components of the TSV05 subsystem.
The TSV05 hardware consists of four items:
1.

1.2.2 Functional Overview
Tape loading is automatic.
There are no vacuum columns, retaining
clips, or multiple tension arms.
When the tape transport is powered up, sets of internal diagnostics are run by the microprocessors in the tape transport electronics package and the bus interface/controller module. The subsystem is then ready for loadi ng •
Once the tape ha s been in serted and the doo r clo sed, the
TS05 tape transport automatically seats and locks the tape reel on
the spindle, and threads the tape through the correct path to the
takeup reel.
The threading operation is accomplished by precisely
directed air flows that blow the tape along the path to the takeup
reel.
When this power up and load sequence is complete, control
of the tape transport switches to the controller module.

* Rank of 37 in the floating vector area starting at 300.
1-5

The TSV05 subsystem operates under the control of a microprocessor
on the M7l96 bus i nter face/controller mod ul e.
The mod ul e is a
direct memory access (DMA) dev ice in that i t transfers data d irectly into or out of the LSI-II memory without requiring the control of the LSI-II CPU.
To perform a data transaction wi th the
TSV05 subsystem, the LSI-II first bui Ids a II pac ket II 0 f command
words in main memory.
Next, it passes the starting address of the
command packet to the M7l96 module.
Using this address, the M7l96
module performs a DMA transfer to bring the command packet out to
the controller memory.
The command packet tells the controller
what type of operation is to be performed and where the data is to
come from or go to.
The module then controls the movement of data
from LSI-II memory to the tape, or from tape to memory.
It buffers this data so that DMA transfers can be handled independently
of the mechanical movements of the tape.
Additionally, it generates interrupts when necessary to provide the LSI-II with status
information.
The TS05 tape transport has an internal formatter that controls
tape motion, formatting and writing of data on tape, reading of
data from tape, and tape transport status moni tor ing.
Commands
from the M7l96 module are latched into registers and then processed by a microprocessor in the formatter electronics.
The formatter creates the identification
(ID)
burst, preamble, post
amble, and file mark during a write operation, and it interprets
these during a read operation.
The formatter also oversees the
handling of error conditions.
1.2.3 Controls and Indicators
The M7196 bus interface/controller module has jumpers, DIP switchpacks, and LED indicators.
The jumpers and switchpacks are preset
to the normal configuration and do not need to be changed unless
there is an address conflict with an existing device.
The LED indicators are provided as maintainability features, and are not exposed to view during normal operation.
The TS05 tape transport has an ON/OFF (1/0) power switch and five
tactile switches, each with an LED indicator.
(Refer to Figure
1-2.)
The functions of these controls and indicators are described in Table 1-1.
The TS05 tape transport also has internal
swi tches for selecting tape uni ts and enabling certain features,
but these are preset and normally not changed.
It also has an LED
fault indicator.
This LED is not exposed to view during normal
operation.

2.1 SITE PREPARATION
The TSV05 Tape Transport Subsystem mounts to the left side of the
existing computer cabinet. It requires a 59.7 centimeter (23.5
inch) wide by 83.8 centimeter (33.0 inch) deep area of floor space
that is capable of supporting, as a minimum, 121 kilograms (265
pound~. The cabinet is capable of supporting up to 205 kilograms
(450 pounds).
Beyond this mounting space, the TSV05 subsystem also requires room
for access to the cabinet, the correct power receptable, and an
adequate flow of cooling air.

2-1

2.1.1 Accessibility
The cabinet requires sufficient space behind it for opening the
rear door.
If any expansion is anticipated, room in front of the
cabinet will be required to allow future equipment to be pulled
out of the cabinet for maintenance.

Route the cable to the rear of the cabinet. Cable routing
depend s on the model and conf iguration of the computer
system, however, try to avoid blocking ventilation or running the cable where it may get caught on other equipment
when a chassis is pulled out. Refer to drawing UA-TSV05~B
for typical cable routing.

Pass the cable through the open side of the computer cabinet and
into the tape tran spor t cabi net.
Do no t route
the cables outside the cabinetry.

Refer to Figure 2-19.
Line up pin 1 of the cable connector with pin I of connector PIon the tape transport unit.
There are two sets of connectors on the back of the tape
transport unit.
The TSV05 subsystem uses the left-hand
set of connectors.

Gently 'press the cable connector onto the ,PI edge
nector 1n the back of the tape transport cab1net.

Repeat this procedure to cable J2 of the M7l96 module to
P2 of the tape transport unit.
Ensure that pin 1 of J2
connects to pin I of P2.

After both interconnection
fully seat the module.

2.6.2 Power Controller Interconnection
The power controllers in the two cabinets are to be interconnected
by a remote control cable.
Thi s enables the computer cabinet
power to switch on the tape transport cabinet power automatically
whenever the computer is powered up.
The remote control cable, part number 7008288-8F, has a three-pin
connector on each end. The cable connectors are the same, and they
are keyed to plug in only one way.
Refer to Figure 2-20 and install the remote control cable as follows:
1.

In the computer cabinet, plug one end of the cable into
the power controller connector labeled DEC POWER CONTROL
BUS.

Route the remote control cable through the open side of
the computer cabinet and into the tape transport cabinet.
Do not route the cable outside the cabinetry.

2.7 TSV05 SUBSYSTEM CHECKOUT
The TSV05 subsystem is tested by checking the M7196 LED indicators
and voltage supply, and by running the diagnostic programs listed
in Table 2-2.
These programs are available on the XXDP+ diagnostic software package that is shipped with the computer system.
If
your system is an earlier model and has the XXDP package instead
of the XXDP+, contact your local Digital representative for ordering information.
2.7.1

Power Up Checks

Set the power switch on the tape transport unit to the ON
position.

Switch on the computer system power and observe that the
tape unit powers up with the system.

3•

Af t era few se con d s , a 11 the tap e un i t i n d i cat 0 r s sh 0 u 1 d

Verify that the +5 V power to the M7196 module is within
sp e c i f i cat ion.
Typ i call y , the add i t ion a l l 0 ado f the
M7196 module lowers the power supply voltage slightly •
.Adjust if necessary.

On the M7196 module, verify that the center LED (D2) is
blinking.
This indicates that the M7196 module self-test
diagnostics are running.
It other indications occur,
there i s a problem.
Ref er to the TSV05 Pocket Service
Guide or contact your local Digital representative.

and

Load the computer system diagnostic diskpack or floppy.

Before running the tape subsystem diagnostics, run the
system exerci ser or diagnostics to verify that the computer is operating properly.
For instructions on running
the computer system tests, refer to the documentation for
the sy stem.
NOTE
The logic test and the advanced logic
test (CVTSAA and CVTSBA) do not require
a tape to be loaded in order to run.
The other diagno stic s, however, requi re
the tape to be loaded and the tape subsystem to be ON-LINE.

2.7.3 TSV05 Logic Test
This program tests the logic on the M7l96 bus interface/controller
mod u 1 e • I t c h e c k s the mi c r 0 pro c e s so r, RAM, and va rio u s reg i s t e r s •
It verifies that the computer can move data out to the module and
receive status in from the module.
After you have booted the
XXDP+ disk (DL, DX, or DY) and an swered the que st ion s about the
date, the processor, and the power line frequency, start the logic
test as follows (operator responses are underlined):
.R VTSA?? <CR>

2-33

The system responds with a display similar to the following:
DIAG. RUN-TIME SERVICES
CVTSA-A-0
****TSV05 LOGIC DIAGNOSTIC****
UNIT IS TSV05
DR)
At this point, type in the following commands:
DR) START/FLAG:PNT:HOE <CR)
This instructs the program to start the test, display the test
number as each of its 11 tests are executed, and halt it if an
error is detected. The computer now asks:
CHANGE HW (L) ?
Type in a "Y" for yes:
CHANGE HW (L)? Y <CR)
The computer then asks:

i UNITS (D) ?
Type in a "1" to indicate that there is one tape unit:
# UNITS (D) ? 1 <CR)

The computer than displays the device address, the interrupt vector, and the interrupt priority.
If you have left the M7196
module in the conf iguration in which it wa s shipped, re spond to
these queries by typing a carriage return:
UNIT 0
DEVICE ADDRESS (TSBA/TSDB) (0) 172520? <CR)
INTERRUPT VECTOR (0) 224? <CR)
If, on the other hand, you have changed the DIP swi tchpack setting s on the M7196 module, then you must type in the parameter s
you selected.
The computer then asks if you wish to change the
meter s:

software para-

CHANGE SW (L) ?
For the subsystem checkout, the answer to this question is no:
CHANGE SW (L) ? N <CR)

2-34

After you have responded to these questions, the program starts
testing the subsystem. The program runs continuously, repeating
i t se 1 f un til i t de t e c t san err 0 r 0 run til yo u hal t i t . If the
program halts because of an error, refer to the CVTSAA TSV05
MAGTAPE Diagnostic User's Document for a detailed descrlptlon of
the tests. For assistance, contact your local Digital Field
Service office.
After the program has made one pass through all the tests, halt it
by pressing CONTROL C. This passes control of the system back to
the diagnostic supervisor program. Then type "EXIT" to get back to
the system monitor:

"c
DR) EXIT <CR)
2.7.4 Advanced Logic Test
Thi s program verifies that the M7196 module can get status and
write characteristics from the computer memory, and that it can
deposit message packets in the computer memory.
It tests error
detection circuits and verifies that the computer can ititialize
and write into the controller RAM memory.
It checks the internal
timers, buffers, and status and control logic.
Also, it verifies
that the controller can move signals to and from the cables that
connect it to the tape transport unit.
Load thi s program a s follows:
.R VTSB?? <CR)
After the program title is displayed and the diagnostic supervisor
returns the DR prompt, enter the command line:
DR) START/FLAG:PNT:HOE:UAM <CR)
The program responds by asking the same questions about hardware
and software parameters as were asked by the logic test.
Type in
the same answers.
After the last question is answered, the program starts running its tests (thi s one has 12 tests, with the
last 3 not executed).
It runs continuously until there is an
error or until you halt it.
After one pass, halt the program by
typing CONTROL C, and type "EXIT" to return to the system monitor:

"c
DR) EXIT <CR)
2.7.5 Tape Transport Test
Thi s program verifies correct tape motion command decoding.
It
checks the basic operation of the rewind positioning command, the
write data command, and the read forward and read reverse commands.
It verifies that the system can space over records forward
and in reverse direction, and that it can reread records.
The

2-35

ability of the subsystem to respond to error conditions is also
te sted.
The program check s the command s f or retrying to wr i te
data and tape marks.
It also tests the skipping of tape marks in
forward and reverse directions.
Load the program as follows:
.R VTSC?? <CR)
After the system di splays the program title, enter the same command line and answers to the parameter questions as for the previous program (described in Section 2.7.4).
After one successful
pass of the eight tests in this program, halt the program and exit
to the system monitor.
2.7.6 Advanced Tape Transport Test
This program verifies the funtioning of the No-Op, Initialize, and
Erase commands.
It checks that errors are indicated when no data
is found on the tape and it tests the data parity checking circuitry in both the controller and the tape transport electronics.
It checks for the proper handling of the EOT status and tests the
record buffering functions.
It also checks that records and gaps
written on the tape are the correct length.
Load the program as follows:
.R VTSD?? <CR)
After the title is displayed, enter the commands:
DR) START/FLAG:PNT:HOE <CR)
The program starts and runs its nine tests.
After one successful
pass, halt the program and exit to the system monitor.
2.7.7 Data Reliability Test
This program exercises and verifies the correct completion of all
tape transport functions.
It execute s read and wri te command s a
random number of times, wi th record s of random length and data,
for the entire tape.
Load the program by typing:
.R VTSE?? <CR)
and then, after the title is displayed, enter:
DR) START/FLAG:PNT:HOE <CR)

2-36

NOTE
Magtape media typically will have several flaws per reel that will cause this
diagno stic to indicate wr i te error s or
wr i te retrie s due to bad tape spots.
These types of errors do not indicate a
problem with the subsystem.
The program then asks:
SELECT DRIVE 0-1 (0)1
Answer by typing 0 and a carriage return:
• 0<CR)
2.7.8 Additional Testing
The tests described in the preceding sections provide a high confidence level that the TSV05 subsystem is functioning correctly.
More exhaustive checks are available by allowing the diagnostic
programs to run for more than one pass.
The second pass of the
program is more comprehensive than the first pass. All iterations
after the first pass are the same, however, they are substantially
longer than the first one.
Running tests that cause tape motion
for extended periods will require transport cleaning to prevent
erronous error reports.
The logic type tape motion tests, when
run continuously, can cause high tape wear to occur in the first
few feet of tape.
In these cases, errors due to faulty or worn
tape do not indicate a failure.
Another test that may be run is the DEC/XII runtime system exerciser.
This test exercises the entire system to verify that there
are no spurious interactions between various subsystems and components.
There is an exerciser program module for each major system component, and these are linked together to create a system
exerciser that is tailored to your system. The DEC/XII module for
the TSV05 subsystem is XTSAA0. Although this exerciser can be run
by itself, its full value is not realized unless it is linked to
and run with the system exerciser. For information about building
a system exerciser to include the TSV05 subsystem, refer to
DEC/XII User's Manual, AC-8240Z-MC.

the manual loading procedure may be used. Refer to Figure 8-1 and
proceed as follows:
1.

Switch off the tape transport power.

Raise the cabinet top cover by grasping the handle on the
top cover and lifting.
When the top cover is raised far
enough, the support arm latches to keep the cover up.

Raise the top cover of the tape transport unit by reaching
in through the front panel door and pushing upward on the
front of the top cover.

Ensure that there are no foreign objects in the tape path.

Place the reel of tape on the supply hub.
Ensure that it
is evenly seated on the hub, and then clo se the front
door.

Thread the tapp. along the tape path as shown in Figure
Carefully move the tachometer assembly away from the
takeup hub and wr ap the tape c loc kwi se around the hub.
Wrap the tape just short of one complete turn.
Note that
the tape should not overwind at thi s point (i.e., there
should be a short section of the takeup hub that has no
tape on it yet) •
8-2.

Gently move the tachometer assembly back against the hub.
(The tape should pa ss between the tachometer and the
takeup hub.)

Check that the tape is seated correctly on the guides and
threaded properly over the head assembly.
Remove any excess slack by gently turning the supply reel counterclockwi se.

Turn the takeup hub clockwise to wrap two additional turns
of tape on the hUb. Ensure that the tape does not ride up
and extend over the top surface of the hub.

10. Close the top covers of the tape transport and the cabinet.
11. Switch on the tape transport power.
12. Press ENTER, with ENTER depressed, press LOAD.
