Installing a DECarray Cabinet

4.4 Installing a DECarray Cabinet in a DSSI VAXcluster Conﬁguration

4.4.4 DSSI VAXcluster 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 verify

the correct operation of each ISE in the array with the system.

Refer to the KFMSA Module Installation and User Manual for detailed

information on the correct operation of each ISE. This manual contains

procedures for establishing the communications between the ISEs, the

adapter module, and the system. It also contains 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, refer to Chapter 9.

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

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

turned over to the system manager.
