Preface This manual summarizes technical information about MicroVAX 3400 and VAXserver 3400 systems. The manual is organized as follows: • Chapter 1 describes the base system specifications, including the CPU module and associated memory options. • Chapter 2 describes specifications for optional components available for MicroVAX 3400 and VAXserver 3400 systems. • Chapter 3 contains information on expanding your system.
Chapter 1 Base System Specifications MicroVAX 3400 and VAXserver 3400 base system components reside in a BA213 enclosure, with a 12-slot backplane. The base system includes a central processor unit (CPU) module, and one to three memory modules. The CPU module resides in slot 1 of the backplane. Memory modules can reside in slots 2 through 4. 1.1 Base System Operation Base system operation is based on the KA640 CPU module.
The DSSI bus has the following characteristics: • 4 Mbytes-per-second bandwidth • Single-ended bus transfers • Up to eight nodes (up to two host adapters and six mass storage devices) • Eight data lines • One parity line • Eight control lines DSSI architecture features a DSSI host adapter and DSSI mass storage devices. The DSSI host adapter, located on the KA640 CPU module, is the interface between the DSSI mass storage devices and the CPU.
1.1.2 KA640 Firmware Two read-only memory (ROM) chips on the KA640 module contain firmware. The firmware contains three major programs: • A console program • A set of self-tests for the CPU and memory • A primary bootstrap program (VMB) The console program receives control whenever the processor halts. For the KA640 CPU, a halt means only that processor control has passed to the console program, not that instruction execution stops.
Ifthe self-tests are successful, the system does one of two things, depending on whether the Break EnablelDisable switch on the CPU cover panel is set to disable or enable. If the Break Enable/Disable Switch Is Disabled If the Break EnablelDisable switch is set to disable, the CPU tries to autoboot an operating system. It locates a 128-Kbyte segment of system memory and copies a primary bootstrap program, called VMB, from the ROM chip into the base address plus 512.
If the Break Enable/Disable Switch Is Enabled If break is enabled, the console program enters console I/O mode in response to any halt condition except the HALT instruction, including system powerup. Console I/O mode allows you to control the system by typing commands at the console terminal. CAUTION: Do not press the Restart button while in console mode. Doing so destroys the system state. You will not be able to continue normal operation.
• Ethernet logic which supports selection of the standard Ethernet port or the ThinWire port. 1.1.3.1 Switches The four switches on the CPU panel are the Break EnablelDisable switch, the Power-Up Mode switch, Ethernet connector switch, and the baud rate switch. The operation of these switches is discussed on the following pages. Figure 1-1: CPU Cover Panel ~LED BREAK ENABLE! DISABLE SWITCH ~. 6 .
Break Enable/Disable Switch (2-position slider) Switch Position Function Dot outside circle (down) Break disable (factory setting). With the switch in this position, pressing the iBreaki key on the console terminal has no effect on the system. On power-up or after a reset, the system attempts to load software from one of the boot devices at the completion of self-tests. Dot inside circle (up) Break enable. With the switch in this position, pressing the key on the console terminal halts the CPU.
Figure 1-2: Changing the Baud Rate BAUD RATE SELECT SWITCH ETHERNET HARDWARE ADDRESS o MLO-000692 1. Turn off the system and remove the front panel of the enclosure. 2. Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, push in and turn counterclockwise the quarter-turn screws at the top and bottom of the CPU cover panel until the screws pop free. 3. Place one hand at the top ofthe panel, and carefully pull out the bottom of the panel with the other hand. 4.
5. Tilt the top of the panel out as far as possible. The baud rate switch, a white circular switch, is just inside the top of the panel. A number from 0 to 7 is visible. See Table 1-'2 to determine the correct switch setting for the baud rate you want. Rotate the switch to the desired setting. Table 1-2: Baud Rate Switch Settings Setting Baud Rate 0 300 1 600 2 1200 3 2400 4 4800 5 96001 6 19200 7 38400 1Factory setting 6.
1.1.3.3 Console Terminal Connector The console cable is connected to the CPU cover panel through a modified modular jack (MMJ). An internal cable connects the MMJ, switches, and LED display to the CPU module. 1.1.3.4 Battery Backup Unit (BBU) A battery backup unit (BBU), located on the inside of the CPU cover panel, maintains the correct time-of-year and language selection on the CPU module when power to the system is turned off. Both the time-of-year and language selection code are lost if the BBU fails.
