Installing the SF3x Storage Enclosure in a DECarray Cabinet

5.8 DSSI Subsystem Final Veriﬁcation

Once the hardware installation, cabling and labeling, and the powering up

steps are complete, you are ready to conﬁgure the DSSI subsystem and check

the correct operation of each ISE in the DECarray with the host system.

Refer to the KFMSA Module Installation and User Manual and the TF857

Magazine Tape ISE Service Manual for detailed information on the correct

operation of each ISE. These manuals contain procedures for establishing

the communications between the ISEs, the adapter module, and the system.

They also contain step-by-step procedures for reconﬁguring the system with its

newly installed DSSI devices.

Refer to the manuals for the disk ISE and tape ISE for detailed information on

the local programs in the ISEs.

If at any time you detect a failure, exit refer to Chapter 9.

Once the veriﬁcation is complete, close the cabinet doors; turn the hex-Allen

fasteners one quarter turn clockwise to lock. The system is ready to be turned

over to the system manager.

5.9 Installing a SF36-xx Storage Enclosure in a SF2xx

Cabinet

Note

The installation of these devices is identical to the installation of SF3x

devices with the exception of the slide mounts and chassis retainers

used. Preinstalled universal slide mounts and unique lockdown

brackets are required to install SF36-xx storage enclosures.

1. Follow the hardware installation instructions in Section 5.4.2, step 1, to

install the ac power cord in the SF2xx cabinet.

2. Using the hardware shown in (Figure 5–22), install both lockdown brackets

on the front right side (for odd number mounting positions) or front left

side (for even number mounting positions) of the enclosure extrusion tube.

Use Table 5–5 to determine the correct lockdown bracket part number for

each installation position.
