Description
This chapter describes the BA200 series enclosure and the DELQA module.

1.1 BA200 Series System Enclosure
The BA200 series enclosure has a 6- or 12-slot Q-bus backplane. Figure 1-1

shows the 12-slot BA213 and the 6-slot BA214 enclosure chassis. The BA213
has one or two modular power supplies, and the BA214 has one power
supply.

The backplane implements the Q22-bus on the AB rows of each slot. The
CD interconnect is implemented on the CD rows of each slot. Fixed disk
drives face the rear of the enclosure, providing easy access to the drive
signal and power cables. A TK tape drive faces the front of the enclosure.

BA213 ENCLOSURE

BA214 ENCLOSURE
MA-0875-87

Figure 1-1 BA200 Series Enclosures

Description

The major difference between the BA200 series enclosure and other
microsystem enclosures is the way you connect external devices to the
system. Modules in the BA200 series enclosure connect directly to external
devices through I/O connectors on the module handles. Other enclosures
require an insert panel and internal cabling between the option module and
the device.

There are two main differences between the modules used in the BA200
series enclosure and the modules used in the other microsystem enclosures.

Option modules with external I/O have attached bulkhead handles.
These handles replace the insert panels and internal cabling found in
the BA23 and BA123 enclosures.

Non-I/O modules (such as memory modules) have blank bulkhead
covers.

The module handles and blank covers form an electrical seal that complies
with regulations for electromagnetic interference (EMI) for (1) keeping radio
frequency interference generated by the system in the enclosure, and (2)
keeping external radio frequencies from entering the enclosure. The module
handles and blank covers also help guarantee proper airflow.,

For more information: See the MicroVAX Systems Maintenance Guide to learn
more about BA200 series enclosures.

1.2 DELQA-S Module
The DELQA module provides a high-speed asynchronous connection
between a Q-bus system and a local area network (LAN) based on Ethernet.
- The quad-height DELQA-S module (Figure 1-2) is designed for the BA200
series enclosures.

Ethernet is a communication system that lets computers exchange data
within a moderate distance (2.8 km/1.74 mi). The DELQA conforms to the
Ethernet specification, Version 2.0, performing the data link layer functions
and part of the physical layer functions.
The DELQA permits higher level software protocols, such as DECnet, to
communicate over a 10 Mbit per second Ethernet. The DELQA connects
through an Ethernet coaxial cable to:

an H4000 transceiver,

a DELNI local network interconnect, or

a DESTA converter.

2.4.1 Guidelines for Module Placement
Bus Continuity

Bus grant signals pass through each installed module, using the A connectors

PROCIESSO R

of each slot. Figure 2-4 shows the path of the bus grant signals. To ensure
the continuity of this path, use bus grant continuity cards (M9047) in empty
backplane slots.

MA-0617-87

Figure 2-4 Bus Grant Continuity Path

Installation

Power Supplies

The BA200 series enclosure contams one or two 230 watt power supplies.
e

A 12-slot enclosure has one or two power supplies.

—

If there is one power supply, it is to the right of the backplane.

If there are two power supplies, the one to the right of the backplane

powers slots 1 through 6, and the one to the left of the backplane

powers slots 7 through 12.

A 6-slot enclosure has one power supply, to the left of the backplane

Each power supplyin the enclosure must have a minimum 5 amp load on the
5 volt output, to maintain regulation. If a power supply does not meet the
minimum load requirement, you must install an M9060-YA load module in
one of the open backplane slots powered by that power supply. Otherwise,
the power supply enters an error mode and shuts down the system.
If a power supply meets the minimum load requirement, you should remove
an existing load module.

See Section 2.9 for procedures on installing or removing load modules.
Module Order

The order of modules in the backplane depends on four factors.
e

The relative use of devices in the system

The expected performance of each device relative to other devices-

e
e

The ability of a device to tolerate delays between bus requests and bus

grants (delay tolerance)

The tendency of a device to prevent devices farther from the CPU from

accessing the bus

The maximum number of DELQAs allowed is two for each system. The
DELQA(s) should be the highest priority dev1ce(s) on the Q22-bus (the DMA
devices nearest to the CPU).

Table 2-3 lists the recommended order of modules in a BA200 series
enclosure. Use the table as a guideline when installing modules.

2.6 Finding CSR Addresses and Interrupt

Vectors
When you add a DELQA module to the backplane, you may need to
reconfigure the modules already installed. Use the following procedures to
find new CSR addresses and interrupt vectors for the modules, if necessary.
MicroPDP-11 Systems

To find CSR addresses and interrupt vectors for modules in a MicroPDP-11
system, see the MicroPDP-11 Systems Maintenance Guide.
MicroVAX System

For modules in a MicroVAX system, you can (1) manually calculate
CSR addresses and interrupt vectors, or (2) use the CONFIG program.
To manually calculate values, see Chapter 5 of the MicroVAX Systems
Maintenance Guide.

The CONFIG program is in the MicroVMS or VMS SYSGEN utility. When
you type in a list of the devices in the system, CONFIG automatically
provides CSR address and interrupt vector information.

2.11 Verifying the Ground Connections
If you install a module with a blank cover or flush handle next to a recessedhandle module, you must install a gap filler assembly between the modules
to meet EMI regulations. Without the gap filler, circuitry on the recessed
handle module is exposed.

Two gap filler assemblies (part number 70-24505-01) are provided with the
option kit. Each gap filler assembly includes one gap filler and two screws.
Use as many of the assemblies as you need for your configuration.

Check that the ground connections are correctly in place as follows.

Check the backplane to see if any recessed-handle module is next to a

module with a blank cover or a flush handle.

If so, make sure a gap filler assérnbly is installed on the side of the

blank cover or flush handle that is next to the recessed-handle module
(Figure 2-9).

NOTE: There should not be any open spaces between the modules in the

backplane.

If there are no open spaces, you do not need to install any gap filler
assemblies. Fasten the 1/4-turn captive screws on all handles and covers
in the backplane.

Testing the New Configuration
This chapter describes the tests and procedures you should use to complete
the DELQA installation.

3.1 Checking LED Test Patterns

The DELQA module has a power-up self-test that performs an external
loopback test through the Ethernet transceiver or a loopback connector.
The self-test is only available when the DELQA is in normal mode. The
host operating system software can request the self-test through the DELQA
Q-bus register.

Use the following procedure to check that the DELQA module is operating
correctly.

1. Attach the loopback connector (part number 12-22196-02) to the 12-pin
D-subminiature connector on the DELQA handle.

2. Plug the ac power cord into the wall outlet and turn the [10] power switch
on (1).

3. Type in the following console command at the >>> prompt.
B XQAO

4. Use Table 3-1 to check the patterns displayed by the three nonflashing
LEDs on the module. The LED display is only accurate the first time
you run the tests. To reset the LEDs, you must power down and then
power up the system.

DEC/X11 checks to see if the system is operating correctly. The exerciser is
made up of different modules, one for each option present. If you remove
or install options, you must reconfigure the exerciser. Do not run DEC/X11
until all individual device diagnostics have run without error.

The tests should complete without error. If an error occurs, see Chapter
4 of MicroPDP-11 Systems Maintenance Guide for troubleshooting procedures
and more instructions on how to run XXDP +.

3.4 Reconnecting External Devices
After you complete the tests successfully, reconnect external devices to the
system as follows.
1.

Remove the tape cartridge from the BA200 series enclosure and turn the

lio] power switch off (0). Unplug the ac power cord from the wall outlet.
2.

Carefully reconnect any external devices you may have disconnected
from modules. Make sure you reconnect the external cables to their

correct modules.

3.5 Connecting the'DELQA Module to the
Network

‘

Make the network connection to the DELQA module as follows.
1.

Use an Ethernet transceiver cable (part number BNE3B or BNE3D). The

cable has a male connector at one end and a female connector at the
other end.
2.

Plug the male connector into the female connector on the DELQA
handle.
Slide up the locking device on the bottom of the female

3.6 Additional Tests
The following sections describe additional tests you may need to perform
for the customer.

3.6.1 NIE Test Tool
The MicroVAX diagnostic monitor (MDM) has a test that lets you run the
network interconnect exerciser (NIE). NIE lets you test whether nodes on an

Ethernet can communicate with each other. You can determine the volume
and type of messages moving throughout the network. This can help you

isolate communication problems.
NIE operates at the data link level of Ethernet architecture and uses
the loopback features of the maintenance operation protocol (MOP). NIE

also operates on comparable levels of non-Digital nodes that may be in
the network.
Because NIE operates at the lower layers of the network
architecture, you can only use NIE at the early stages of network installation.
You can have NIE loop a predefined message to specified network nodes.

You can include a specific node, pair of nodes, group of nodes, or all nodes
in the loop path. NIE displays or prints out statistics recorded by the test.
You can run NIE on one node without affecting other data in the network.

For more information: See the NIE User’s Guide.

3.6.2

Network Control Program (NCP) Test Tools

The VAX/VMS network control program (NCP) provides several tests to
help you determine if the network is operating correctly. These tests let you
exercise network software and hardware by sending data through various
network components and returning that data to its source. You must start
the DECnet and VMS software before running NCP tests.
|
There are two types of DECnet and VMS tests.

Node-level loopback tests

(ircuit-level lodpback tests

Use node-level tests to evaluate the operation of logical links, routing,
and other network-related software. Use circuit-level tests to evaluate the
operation of circuits. Use node-level tests first, then circuit-level tests.
For more information: See the MicroVAX Systems Maintenance Guide.
