2 Site Considerations The HP 3000 9X8LX/RX family of computers are o ce environment computer systems that do not require special environmental controls. For this reason, no speci c site preparation is required before the system is installed. Even though the computer does not require any site preparation, there are some site considerations and responsibilities that need to be addressed. This chapter provides the environmental and electrical speci cations for the HP 3000 9X8LX/RX systems.
Safety Considerations Electrical Considerations Be sure the nal installation site has enough AC outlets to support the computer and the peripherals located close to it. Be sure the outlets are grounded and are protected by a circuit breaker. Be very sure the AC power available meets the electrical speci cations. Refer to Table 2-2 for the exact electrical speci cations. Specifications Table 2-1.

3 Receiving The System This chapter contains information for unpacking and inspecting the computer, taking inventory of shipped goods, ling claims, repacking, and storing the system. Unpacking and Inspection The computer and its accessories may be shipped in more than one container. First, check to ensure that all the containers ordered by the customer are present, as speci ed in the carrier's Bill of Lading. Inspect each container for evidence of mishandling during transit.
Safety Considerations 1. Remove all loose parts inside the shipping box, and the inside shock absorbing packing materials. See Figure 3-1. Figure 3-1. Removing Loose Parts 2. Close the ap with the handles cut in it, the other three aps should be open. 3. Position yourself so that you must reach across the box to grasp the handles. See Figure 3-2. Figure 3-2.
Safety Considerations 4. Grasp the handles and carefully pull the shipping box toward yourself until the shipping box rests on its side, with the handles on top. This positions the computer in an upright position, resting on its feet. See Figure 3-2. Note The feet on the bottom of the computer slide easily on cardboard. They should also slide easily over hard oors or carpets. 5. Open the top ap. See Figure 3-3. Reach into the shipping box and grasp the computer on the left and right side. Figure 3-3.
Safety Considerations In Case of Damage If damage is observed, refer to the claims Procedures section later in this chapter. Physical Inventory When the shipping containers is opened, locate the picklist which contains a list of equipment supplied. Compare the product and option numbers on the picklist with the purchase order to verify that the shipment is correct. Manuals Ensure that all of the manuals listed have been received.
Safety Considerations Repacking When computers must be reshipped, use the original shipping and packing materials, if available. Contact the local Hewlett-Packard Sales and Service O ce for repacking information and materials.
4 Installation This chapter contains information for installing the HP 3000 Series 9X8LX/RX Family Computer systems. All installation tasks should be performed by trained and experienced personnel only.
Safety Considerations a. The top connector on the multifunction I/O card is for SCSI peripherals. If there are no additional SCSI peripherals to connect, install a SCSI terminator (part number 1252-3932) to the SCSI connector. b.

Safety Considerations Peripheral Equipment Be sure to refer to the documentation that comes with any peripheral equipment for speci c installation instructions. DTC Installation There may be multiple DTCs to be installed on the system. Repeat the installation instructions for each DTC installed on the system. 1. The DTC is connected to the SPU through the LAN link. 2. Connect another BNC T connector (part number 92227N) to the connector labeled LAN Interface on the back of the DTC. 3.
Safety Considerations External Disk Cabinet To connect the external disk cabinet to the SPU, perform the following steps: 1. Be sure the disk cabinet ON/OFF switch is in the OFF (0) position. 2. Plug the power cord into the back of the disk cabinet, just below the ON/OFF switch. 3. Connect the end of the SCSI cable (part number 5062-3383 or K2296) to the bottom SCSI connector on the back of the disk cabinet. 4.
5 Starting the Computer System The procedures listed in this chapter show you how to interact with the computer to get you to the ISL (Initial Software Load) prompt (ISL>_). When the ISL prompt is displayed, the command to load the MPE/iX operating system software can be issued. Turning On the Computer System The computer and its external equipment contain built in selftest programs. These programs automatically run each time the computer and the equipment are turned o and then turned on again.
Safety Considerations Power On Selftest and PDC Displays The primary display for the computer is the system console in conjunction with the status display lights on the front of the computer. 1. The rst thing displayed on the computer console is a line of messages along the bottom of the console screen indicating the selftest programs are running: c TEST nnnn REMOTE: disabled inactive multiple ACCESS FAULT: yy While this display is active the amber Attention light should be on.
Safety Considerations The xx MB indicates the amount of memory in the system. Within the main menu, the commands or menu can be entered with the letters in capitals, for example; booting from the primary boot path would be: Main Menu: Enter command or menu>BO PRI 4Enter5 or a menu request would be: Main Menu: Enter command or menu>IN 4Enter5 Where the IN entry would display the system hardware information. 3.
Safety Considerations d During the launch of the MPW/iX operating system ERROR and WARNING messages will be displayed on the console telling you that uncon gured devices are attached to the system. These messages are normal during the rst boot up. They appear during the rst boot up because the nal con guration is not done. Among the messages you may see are these: DCC warning 103-5, Add ldev to class failure (HLIO status FF6A00BD,. a DCC warning 103-5, Add ldev to class failure (HLIO status FF6A00BD,.
Safety Considerations d c a ATTENTION: System verification indicates that noncritical devices are not all working. b This message indicates a problem with a noncritical device. A noncritical device is everything except : system disks, nonsystem (private volume) disks and tape drive logical device 7. d c If there is an error , a message similar to the following appears: a ERROR: System verification failed. Critical devices are not functional. Do not continue to use the system.
A Remote Support Modem Configuration This section contains information for connecting speci c modems to the HP 3000 9X8LX/RX Family Computer System. This section also discusses the signal line behavior of the Multifunction I/O modem interface to aid in con guring modems that are not listed. General rules for con guring modems: The modem must be set up to respond to DTR. CTS should follow RTS. DSR must follow OH, not DCD. For Bell mode, the modem should disregard RTS.
Safety Considerations Quick Reference Table A-1 is a quick reference table for the supported modems for remote support. For detailed information, refer to the appropriate section of this appendix. Table A-1. Settings for Remote Support Modem (Quick Reference) Modem Model Settings HP50759A (Support Link) X1, X2, X3, X4, and S8: Down S1, S3, S4, S5, and S6: Up S2 and S7: Do not care Hayes Smartmodem 2400 S3, S9, and S10: Down S1, S4, S5, S6, and S7: Up S2: Do not care Black Box V.32 Plus (2.01.
Safety Considerations Auto-dial modes: Hayes This modem is the standard HP Support Link. It supports V.22bis line discipline, but does not support V.25bis auto-dialing. In order for V.22bis answer mode to work properly, DSR must follow OH. Data Compression should be set OFF . Setting data compression ON can cause problems when connecting to other modems that do not have data compression. Table A-2.
Safety Considerations Hayes Smartmodem 2400 Supported modes: Bell CCITT OM CCITT AM Supported cables: Must use 92219Q modem cable. Auto-dial modes: Hayes. This modem drives circuit 111 (Pin 23) instead of using it as an input. With either cable (92219Q or A1703-63006), the Multifunction I/O PCA and the modem, drive the same line. Caution This modem should not be used because all HP cables connect circuit 111 to the modem.
Safety Considerations Black Box V.32 Plus (Version 2.01.01) Supported modes: Bell CCITT OM CCITT AM Supported cables: Must use 92219Q modem cable. Auto-dial modes: Hayes. This modem does not work with v.22bis because it does not supply 112 and because the sense of 111 is backwards (TRUE means low speed, FALSE means high speed). The fact that 111 is backwards is not too big a problem because the modem can be con gured to ignore 111. Change so that DTE Fallback is Disabled . This is the factory default.
Safety Considerations Multitech MT224EH7 Supported modes: Bell CCITT OM CCITT AM CCITT BIS OM CCITT BIS AM Supported cables: HP 92219Q - Bell, CCITT OM, CCITT AM A1703-64006 - CCITT BIS OM, CCITT BIS AM Auto-dial modes: Hayes, V.25bis. Note The version of the modem has a problem when dialing with V.25bis where if the number that is dialed is busy, DSR does not drop. This same problem causes V.
Safety Considerations For V.22bis auto-answer, internal jumper DSR must be set so that DSR follows OH. The factory default is for DSR to follow CD. This is di erent from the Support Link where the factory default was for DSR to follow OH. There does not seem to be an AT command that does this. V.

Safety Considerations Table A-6. 92219Q Cable Pin-out Computer End Signal Name Modem End 2 TD 3 3 RD 2 8 RTS 4 22 CTS 5 20 DSR 6 6 DTR 20 9 RI 22 DCD 8 23 FS 23 7 GROUND 7 4 and 5 The pin-out for the A1703-63006 cable is the same except that pin 9 on the computer end is routed to pin 12 on the modem end and that Line functions as Rate Select (RS). This cable is only used with the A1703-60003 SCSI/Console/LAN Multifunction I/O interface for V.22bis/V.25bis applications.
Safety Considerations CCITT BIS Mode AP protocol 2 This protocol is CCITT V.22bis. It requires the special cable A1703-63006 which is just like the 92219Q cable with the exception that pin 9 on the computer end is routed to pin 12 (RS) rather than pin 22 (RI). DTR is raised whenever a connection is allowed. RTS follows DSR. A connection is established when DSR is high. CTS can drop for an inde nite amount of time without dropping the connection. The card will not send data to the modem when CTS is low.
