Preface This manual provides a summary of technical information about the VAX 4000 Model 200 system. • Chapter 1 describes the base system and lists specifications for the KA660–AA/–BA CPU module and MS650–BA/–BB memory module. • Chapter 2 describes optional components available for your system and lists their specifications. • Chapter 3 contains information on expanding your system. NOTE: You will find a glossary in the VAX 4000 Model 200 Operation manual to help with word definitions and acronyms.
Chapter 1 Base System Description This chapter describes the VAX 4000 Model 200 base system, including the following: • Power-up self tests • Digital Storage Systems Interconnect (DSSI) architecture • Specifications for the KA660-AA/BA CPU and MS650-BA/BB memory 1.1 System Overview The VAX 4000 Model 200 base system components are housed in two different enclosures: the BA430 enclosure, which contains a 12-slot Qbus backplane, and the BA215 enclosure, which contains a 6-slot Q-bus backplane.

1.2 Firmware Overview Two electrically programmable read-only memory (EPROM) chips on the KA660 CPU module contain the firmware. This firmware consists of the following three major programs, which perform the system power-up selftests and diagnostics: • A console program • A set of self-tests for the CPU and memory • A primary bootstrap program (VMB) The console program receives control whenever the processor halts.
1.3 Power-Up At power-up, the console program determines the console device type and console language, then runs the self-tests for the CPU and memory. You choose the console language when you perform the set-up operations during your console terminal installation procedure. You determine the type of power-up mode by setting the Power-Up Mode switch on the CPU cover panel.
Table 1–1: Console I/O Mode Control Characters Character also Return X Action (rubout) The carriage return ends a command line. No action is taken on a command until after it is terminated by a carriage return. A null line terminated by a carriage return is treated as a valid, null command. No action is taken, and the console prompts for input. Carriage return is echoed as carriage return, line feed (). When you press x (rubout), the console deletes the previously typed character.
Table 1–1 (Cont.): Console I/O Mode Control Characters Character Ctrl/R Ctrl/S Ctrl/U Action Echoes , followed by the current command line. Can be used to improve the readability of a command line that has been heavily edited. Stops output to the console terminal until you enter Ctrl/Q . Not echoed. Echoes ^U. Entered, but otherwise ignored if typed on an empty line. The console accepts Console I/O mode commands up to 80 characters long. Longer commands produce error messages.
Table 1–2: Console I/O Mode Commands Command Action BOOT CONFIGURE Initializes the processor and transfers execution to the VMB. Invokes an interactive mode that permits you to enter Q22-bus device names, then generates a table of Q22-bus I/O page device CSR addresses and interrupt vectors. Causes the processor to begin instruction execution at the address currently contained in the program counter (PC). Does not perform a processor initialization. Deposits data into the address you specify.
Table 1–2 (Cont.): Console I/O Mode Commands Command Action SET RECALL Sets command recall state to either ENABLED (1) or DISABLED (0). Displays the default R5 boot flags. Displays the default boot device. Shows the current state of Control-P halt recognition, either ENABLED or DISABLED. Displays all devices displayed by the SHOW DSSI, SHOW ETHERNET, and SHOW UQSSP commands. Displays the status of all nodes that can be found on the DSSI bus.
Table 1–2 (Cont.): Console I/O Mode Commands Command Action TEST Invokes a diagnostic test program specified by the test number you enter. If you enter a test number of 0 (zero), all tests allowed to be executed from the console terminal are executed. The console accepts an optional list of up to five additional hexadecimal arguments. Performs an I/O bus reset, by writing a 1 (one) to IPR 55 (decimal).
Example 1–1 (Cont.
Example 1–1 (Cont.): SHOW QBUS Display Scan of Qbus Memory Space -30040000 to 3005ffff (01000000 to 01377777) >>> For each address, the console displays the address in the VAX I/O space in hexadecimal, the address as it would appear in the Q22-bus I/O space in octal, and the word data that was read in hexadecimal.
Example 1–4: SHOW LANGUAGE Display >>> SHOW LANGUAGE English (United States/Canada) >>> Example 1–5: SET LANGUAGE Command >>> SET LANGUAGE 5 >>> Example 1–6: SET BOOT Command >>> SET BOOT MUA0 >>> In this example, selection 5 is English, chosen from the Language Selection Menu that displays at power-up. In this example, entering MUA0 sets the tape drive as the default boot device. Table 1–3 lists the supported device names.

1.5 Digital Storage Systems Interconnect (DSSI) The KA660 CPU module contains an embedded DSSI chip on the module which becomes a DSSI bus interface connector that is dedicated to the mass storage devices in the VAX 4000 Model 200 system. (See Figure 1–1 for the VAX 4000 Model 200 block diagram.) The DSSI bus interface connects to a DSSI Integrated Storage Element (ISE). An ISE is a 5.25-inch disk drive that has special mounting brackets for simplified enclosure installation and upgrading.

Chapter 3 System Expansion This chapter provides guidelines on how to expand your VAX 4000 Model 200 system. 3.1 Planning System Expansion You must consider the following when you decide to expand your system: • Can your system accommodate additional supported options? You determine this by filling in the appropriate worksheet (Figure 3–1 or Figure 3–2) with the options currently installed in your system and those you wish to add.
by means of switches or jumpers on the options themselves. Digital service representatives configure the options when they install them. Your Digital service representative also determines the proper placement of options within your system, according to specific guidelines. 3.
