CHAPTER 1 RCI Build Procedure This chapter explains the following items regarding the initial build procedure of the Remote Cabinet Interface (RCI) in the installation work. - RCI Overview - RCI command - RCI Setup 1.1 RCI Overview RCI is an interface to connect RCI Host (general name for main units supporting RCI and for RCI I/O units). In this manual, a base cabinet and an I/O unit that support the RCI are referred to as an RCI Host and an RCI I/O unit, respectively.

1.2 RCI command 1.2 RCI command RCI commands are used to display RCI configuration information and set node addresses. To connect I/O units equipped with RCI ports, a setup using RCI commands is required in addition to the connection with RCI cables. Remarks: When you use the terminal function of the External power controller, perform the setrcic command and confirm setting or connection of the External power controller. For details of the setrcic command, see the RCI User's Guide or man page. 1.2.
CHAPTER 1 RCI Build Procedure 1.3 RCI Setup This section explains the RCI setup for the following cases: z z z z New setup for a single RCI Host and two RCI I/O units New setup of two RCI Hosts When an RCI I/O unit is added later When a RCI Host is added later Remarks: Please refer to Appendix A, "Troubleshooting." when there is a problem at RCI setup. 1.3.1 New setup for a single RCI Host and two RCI I/O units RCI Host RCI I/O unit RCI I/O unit Figure 1.
1.3 RCI Setup XSCF> setrci -c init The command completed successfully 4 Connect the main unit and I/O units with RCI cables (see Figure 1.5). Connect an RCI branching connector to each of the RCI ports, and connect them with RCI cables by using a daisy-chain connection. Connect an RCI terminating resistor to the branching connector at either end of the RCI connection. Refer to Section 1.3.5, "Connection of RCI." 5 Turn on the AC input to all the RCI device which are in the RCI connection.
CHAPTER 1 RCI Build Procedure 1.3.2 New setup of two RCI Hosts RCI RCI Host A Host B RCI I/O unit RCI I/O unit Figure 1.6 New setup of two RCI Hosts 1 Log in to the XSCF Shell. 2 On main unit A, execute the setrci -c stat command to display the RCI status. XSCF> setrci -c stat HOST address 000f7fff Inactive The command completed successfully 3 Verify that the RCI address is 000f7fff. Remarks: 000f7fff is the default value of the RCI address.
1.3 RCI Setup 7 On main unit A, execute the setrci -c set command to make the settings of the host node. Since main unit A is the first unit, host_no is 1. XSCF> setrci -c set 1 The command completed successfully 8 On main unit B, execute the setrci -c set command to make the settings of the host node. Since main unit B is the second unit, host_no is 2. XSCF> setrci -c set 2 The command completed successfully 9 On main unit A, execute the setrci -c initconfig command to configure the RCI.
CHAPTER 1 RCI Build Procedure 1.3.3 When an RCI I/O unit is added later RCI Host Addition RCI I/O unit RCI I/O unit Figure 1.7 When an RCI I/O unit is added later 1 Connect the I/O unit to be added with an RCI cable by using a daisy-chain connection (see Figure 1.7). Connect an RCI branching connector to the RCI port, and then connect it with an RCI cable by using a daisy-chain connection. Connect an RCI terminating resistor to the branching connector at either end of the RCI connection.
1.3 RCI Setup 1.3.4 When a RCI Host is added later RCI RCI Host A Host B Addition RCI I/O unit RCI I/O unit Figure 1.8 When a RCI Hosts is added later 1 Log in to the XSCF Shell. 2 On main unit B, which is to be added, execute the setrci -c stat command to display the RCI status. XSCF> setrci -c stat HOST address 000f7fff Inactive The command completed successfully 3 Verify that the RCI address is 000f7fff. Remarks: 000f7fff is the default value of the RCI address.
CHAPTER 1 RCI Build Procedure XSCF> setrci -c set 2 The command completed successfully 7 Execute the setrci -c addconfig command on main unit B to expand the RCI configuration. XSCF> setrci -c addconfig The command completed successfully 8 Display the RCI status by executing the setrci -c statcommand on main unit A.
1.3 RCI Setup Remarks: Up to 32 RCIs including the RCI main unit can be connected. Use the repeater function of the external power controller to extend the cable length used and to increase the number of connected RCI device. Note that the maximum RCI cable length is 150 meters. Remarks: The external power controller is included in the number of RCI device (1) (2) Figure 1.9 RCI branching connector connection of a midrange server (1) (2) Figure 1.
Appendix A Troubleshooting A This appendix explains how to deal with possible problems during the RCI setup. z In the Case Where Setrci Command Ended Abnormally and Displayed “Operation Failed Error Status: XX” z In the Case Where RCI Status of RCI Host Changes From ACTIVE to INACTIVE A.
Appendix A Troubleshooting Table A.1 The Error Status Code and Explanation Code 20 30 fd fe ff A-2 Explanation Detected the duplicate RCI address in RCI I/O unit (Expansion file unit, External power controller). Detected the duplicate RCI address in RCI I/O unit (Line selector switch). RCI construction cannot be constructed, or it was cancelled. Other RCI unit is constructing the RCI network. RCI setup procedure is false.
A.1 In the Case Where Setrci Command Ended Abnormally and Displayed “Operation Failed Error Status: XX” Remedy pattarn z Pattern A 1 2 Check the RCI setup procedure, the RCI address value and the connection. 1 Check the setting of the RCI address and the duplicate of the RCI address by setrci -c stat command. 2 Check whether the othr RCI host that doesn't execute the RCI initialization is connected. In the case of anomaly, retry RCI setup in correct procedure.
Appendix A Troubleshooting A.2 In the Case Where RCI Status of RCI Host Changes From ACTIVE to INACTIVE Remarks: When this problem has occurred, do not replace the XSCF unit because it is not a failure of the XSCF unit. This problem is occurred by the mistake of the RCI construction procedure and the RCI connection. t occurrs when the same RCI address is set and constructed, or, when connecting with the RCI network of the construction of the RCI host that has not been initialized.
