1 Introduction This chapter provides an overview of the DECarray cabinet, and the SF3x and SF7x series storage enclosures. 1.1 DECarray Overview The DECarray is a storage rack cabinet designed to hold up to six SF-series storage enclosures and one or two magazine tape ISEs. The DECarray is intended to be installed on one or both sides of a system. All operator control panels (OCPs) project through the front door of the storage array to allow easy access.
PAGE 18
Introduction 1.1 DECarray Overview Viewing the DECarray from the front, note that the SF-series storage enclosures and magazine tape ISEs are arranged in the DECarray cabinet as follows (Figure 1–1): • The DECarray has four levels, each with two storage enclosure positions. The levels are numbered from the bottom up.

2 DECarray Site Preparation The DECarray cabinet is intended for installation in a Class A computer room environment. Before installing the DECarray, make sure the following conditions are met: • The DECarray cabinet requires 3-phase ac power. Each phase draws up to 7.2 amperes in a fully configured array. • Adequate space is provided around the DECarray cabinet for opening the front and rear doors, for accessing cables, and for adequate airflow.

PAGE 33
DECarray Site Preparation Proper grounding between the DECarray and any enclosures connected through a common DSSI bus is required. WARNING If the enclosures are not connected to a common ground, there is a potential for a personal safety hazard. If the ground offset voltages generated in the power distribution system exceed allowable limits, data transmission across the DSSI bus can be affected. In this case, the system(s) could experience significant performance degradation or possible data corruption.
PAGE 34
DECarray Site Preparation 5. Are any devices that are not UL or IEC approved connected to the same breaker as any of the DSSI computer equipment? If the previous conditions do not exist, then the grounding should be adequate for DSSI operation. Digital recommends that the ground offset voltage between any two enclosures be measured. However, this only provides data for that particular moment in time. Ground offset values may change as additional devices are connected to the same power source.
PAGE 35
3 Unpacking the DECarray Before unpacking the DECarray cabinet, make sure that the site is ready to receive it. Refer to Chapter 2 for site preparation information and to Chapter 1 for specifications. This chapter describes how to: • Unpack the DECarray cabinet (Section 3.1) • Remove the DECarray cabinet from the shipping pallet (Section 3.2) • Place the DECarray cabinet with the system (Section 3.3) • Level the DECarray cabinet (Section 3.
PAGE 36
Unpacking the DECarray 3.1 Unpacking 3.1 Unpacking The DECarray cabinet is packed in a cardboard carton attached to a wooden shipping pallet and covered with plastic protection. Note Before unpacking the equipment, inspect the shipping carton for signs of external damage. Report any damage to the local carrier and either Digital Services or the sales office. Note Retain the shipping container and all packing materials.

Unpacking the DECarray 3.2 Removing the DECarray from the Pallet 3.2 Removing the DECarray from the Pallet This section describes the procedure for removing the DECarray cabinet from the pallet and leveling it. WARNING Serious personal injury may result if correct safety conditions are not met. During the unpacking procedure, personnel should wear safety glasses.
PAGE 38
Unpacking the DECarray 3.2 Removing the DECarray from the Pallet Use the following procedure to remove the DECarray cabinet from the shipping pallet (Figure 3–2): 1. Remove the two unloading ramps. 2. Remove the cardboard carton and packing material. 3. Examine the equipment for physical damage. 4. Remove the shipping bolts (Figure 3–1).
PAGE 39

4 Installing a DECarray Cabinet This chapter describes how to install the DECarray cabinet in a single-system or DSSI VAXcluster configuration. Digital Services or trained installers must perform these procedures. Make sure that all precautions for site preparation have been completed. Refer to Chapter 2. Perform the installation only after you have completed all the steps in Chapter 3. WARNING Hazardous voltages are in the storage array and in the components of the storage array.
PAGE 52
Installing a DECarray Cabinet 4.1 Configuration Overview 4.1 Configuration Overview The DECarray cabinet is offered in a number of variants to provide storage capacity from 2 to 61.2 gigabytes. Additional SF-series storage enclosures and one or two TF-series magazine tape ISEs may also be added to each variant. This section describes the variants that are supported in single-system, stripeset, and DSSI VAXcluster configurations. 4.1.

PAGE 62
Installing a DECarray Cabinet 4.2 Inspecting the DECarray Cabinet For SF7x Enclosures: a. Open the door in the center of each OCP and verify the correct setting for the DSSI node ID switches. These are the three right-most switches for each of the four ISEs in the enclosure. Make sure that each ISE has a unique DSSI node ID for the DSSI bus that it is on. By convention, DSSI node ID 0 is used for a tape ISE. Disk ISEs should start with DSSI node ID 1 and sequence up from there. b.

Installing a DECarray with a VAX 4000 System D.2 DSSI VAXcluster Installation of a DECarray 3. Connect the ground strap (provided with the cable kit). Attach one end of the strap according to the instructions found in the System Expansion Installation Supplement. Connect the other end to one of the screws securing the power controller to the DECarray. Note Note that DECarray I/O panel DSSI ports 5, 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 15, and 16 are not used.

Installing a DECarray with a VAX 4000 System D.2 DSSI VAXcluster Installation of a DECarray D.2.2.1 Example of a Fully Configured DSSI VAXcluster System The following section shows a fully configured DSSI VAXcluster system consisting of a DECarray with 16 disk ISEs and two TF857 magazine tape ISEs connected to two VAX 4000 (each with one RF disk ISE). DSSI Bus 0 from the VAX 4000 Model 300 can have tape and disk ISEs on it that are internally mounted in the system enclosure.

E DECarray Configuration Sheets This appendix contains blank configuration sheets. Figure E–1, E–2, and E–3 are to be used with systems containing variants of the KFMSA adapter module. Figure E–4 and E–5 are to be used with systems containing either KFQSA adapter modules or embedded DSSI adapter(s).

Glossary adapter A module that connects one or more device controllers to the system bus and hides many of the system bus requirements from the controller. The KFQSA module is an Q-bus to DSSI bus adapter. The KFMSA module is an XMI to DSSI bus adapter. allocation class A numerical value assigned to the ISE to indicate which system(s) on a cluster it will be served by. block The smallest data unit addressable on a disk. Also called a sector.

DSSI Digital Storage System Interconnect. A DSA-based storage interconnect used by the KFMSA adapter and the RF- and TF-series integrated storage elements to transfer data and to communicate with each other. DSSI VAXcluster Storage configuration where DSSI ISEs are shared between two DSSI adapters and systems. DUP Diagnostic and utility protocol. A SYSAP-level protocol by which a computer directs a storage device controller to run internal diagnostics or utility functions.
PAGE 373
node name A 6-character (maximum) value that is assigned to each DSSI ISE. The node name of each ISE must be unique across the system topology. OCP Operator control panel. An enclosure interface that allows remote control of DSSI node ID selection and ISE operating status. PARAMS A local program resident on the ISE. PARAMS is used to view and modify current device parameter settings on an ISE. Q-BUS The system bus for the MicroVAX II, MicroVAX/VAXserver 3xxx, and VAX 4000 series systems.

split-bus A mode of operation where the ISEs in the one side of a storage enclosure are connected to a different DSSI bus than those on the other side. stripeset A set of disk drives operating in concert as a single virtual disk so as to provide increased I/O performance. In a DSSI bus application, all SF7x storage enclosures are in split-bus mode and each half of each enclosure is connected to it’s own dedicated DSSI adapter port.
