28 Using Y our CD-ROM Drive CD-ROM Drive and CD-ROM Media Descriptions CD-ROM Media CD-ROM discs are 120 mm (4.7 in.) in diameter , and use one data surface with a capacity of approximately 600 megabytes. The data surface contains pits and ï¬at spots arranged in a continuous spiral track, which is read at a constant speed. Y ou may access ï¬les and data stored on a CD-ROM disc, but you may not write ï¬les or data to a CD-ROM disc. CD-ROM data discs are identical to audio compact discs (CDs) except that they store computer data and information. CAUTION: Handle CD-ROM discs by the edges only . Always be sure a CD-ROM disc is either in the CD-ROM drive or its protective case when not in use. This will lessen the chance of exposing the disc surface to dust. Over time, dust reduces the reliability of the read head in the CD-ROM drive. Caring for CD-ROM Discs Observe the following guidelines to help prevent data loss and prolong the life of your CD-ROM discs and drive: â¢ Use CD-ROM discs in a clean environment to prevent dust particles from scratching disc surfaces. â¢ Store CD-ROM discs in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture and heat damage. â¢ Donât try to clean the surface of a CD-ROM disc with cleaning solvents, as some cleaning solvents may damage the disc. NOTICE: Y ou must mount the disc after loading it into the drive. Refer to the section âMounting and Unmounting a CD-ROM Disc,â later in this chapter , for instructions about mounting a disc.

49 Using Y our Digital Data Storage (DDS) T ape Drive DDS T ape Drive and Data Cassette Descriptions If the LED indicators on your DDS-format drive display the Media W ear (Caution) condition, follow this procedure: 1 Check the system console for any tape error messages. A hard error during a read or write operation may have occurred. 2 Clean the heads with a cleaning cassette (HP92283K) as described in âCleaning the T ape Heads,â later in this chapter . 3 Repeat the operation you performed when the Media W ear (Caution) signal dis- played. If the Media W ear (Caution) signal still displays, then the data cassette should be replaced. 4 If you are performing a backup from disk to tape, discard the data cassette and back up your ï¬les using a new data cassette. 5 If you are performing a restore from tape to disk, complete the restore, back up the ï¬les to a new data cassette, then discard the data cassette. Data Cassettes Media Life HP DDS data cassettes are currently speciï¬ed to 2000 passes over any part of the tape under optimal environmental conditions (50% relative humidity , 22 degrees C). During a tape operation, any one area of the tape may have multiple passes over the heads. This translates into approximately 200 to 300 backups or restores. Under certain conditions, the life of your data cassette is less. Replace your data cassettes after 100 backups or restores if your operating conditions meet any of the following criteria: â¢ The relative humidity in your operating environment is consistently less than 50%. â¢ Y ou know that the backup software you are using makes multiple passes over sec- tions of the tape during backups or restores. â¢ Y ou notice that when you do backups and restores the tape stops and starts fre- quently .
50 Using Y our Digital Data Storage (DDS) T ape Drive DDS T ape Drive and Data Cassette Descriptions Cleaning the Tape Heads Clean the heads of your tape drive after every 25 hours of tape drive use or if the Media W ear (Caution) signal is displayed on the LED. NOTICE: Only use HP Cleaning Cassettes (HP92283K) to clean the tape heads. Do not use swabs or other means of cleaning the tape heads. Follow this procedure to clean the tape heads: 1 Insert the cleaning cassette into the drive. The tape automatically loads the cas- sette and cleans the heads. At the end of the cleaning cycle, the drive ejects the cassette. 2 W rite the current date on the label on the cleaning cassette so that you know how many times you have used it. Discard the cleaning cassette after you have used it 25 times. Media Restrictions If you interchange media between other DDS-format tape drives, note that data cassettes with compressed data can only be read by tape drives that have data compression capabilities. This includes data cassettes that contain both compressed and noncompressed data.

126 Changing Y our Workstationâ s Hardware Conï¬guration Installing Additional Memory Installing Additional Memory T ake a moment to read over the following important notes about installing memory . â¢ Before you attempt to install additional memory modules in your C160/C180/ C200/C240/C360 workstation, use the procedure described in Appendix D, âThe Boot Console Interface,â to determine the current memory conï¬guration for this workstation. â¢ Read over the steps involved in installing memory modules before you begin. â¢ You must insert memory modules in pairs of equal size. â¢ Modules must be inserted in the lowest numbered memory connector pair first, then in numerical order. For example, install memory in 0A and 0B first, then 1A and 1B, 2A and 2B, 3A and 3B, 4A and 4B, and 5A and 5B. Memory slots must be ï¬lled in order from 0A and 0B through 5A and 5B. Refer to Figure 40 for memory pair numbering and location. Insert memory modules in decreasing or- der of memory module size. For example, install 128 MB modules, then 64 MB, 32 MB, and finally, 16 MB modules. â¢ When you have finished installing additional memory modules, use the Boot Console Interface to verify that they are seen by the workstation.
127 Changing Y our Workstationâ s Hardware Conï¬guration Installing Additional Memory Perform the following steps to add memory modules to your workstation. 1 Remove the main tray assembly according to the directions in âRemoving the Main Tray Assemblyâ earlier in this appendix. 2 Use Figure 40 to locate the memory modules on the CPU Assembly. Figure 40 C160/C180/C200/C240/C360 Memory Module Location This workstation has 12 memory slots, labeled 0A, 0B through 5A, 5B. The memory conï¬guration is 32 MB to 1.5 GB installed in pairs of 16 MB, 32 MB, 64 MB, or 128 MB memory modules. Memory modules must be installed in pairs of equal capacity . Always install the largest capacity memory modules in the lowest numbered memory slots. For example, if you have a pair of 16 MB memory modules and a pair of 64 MB memory modules, ï¬rst install the pair of 64 MB memory modules in slots 0A and 0B, then install the 16 MB modules in slots 1A and 1B.

For FCC Applications: NOTICE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
138 Changing Y our Workstationâ s Hardware Conï¬guration Installing an EISA, PCI, or GSC Option Board Graphics Paths graphics(0) is the built-in 8-plane graphics adapter (C160/C180 only). graphics(1) through graphics(4) are graphics adapters installed in option slots 1 through 4. When a dual display graphics adapter (an adapter which has two video out- put connectors) is installed, the video connector on the left (when looking at the system from the rear) is graphics( NA) and the video connector on the right is graphics (NB), where N is the slot number in which the graphics adapter is installed. A and B denote the two video output connectors on the dual display adapter . For example, a Dual V isualize Enhanced Graphics Card (A4451A) installed in option slot 3 would be graphics(3A) and graphics(3B).
139 Changing Y our Workstationâ s Hardware Conï¬guration Installing an EISA, PCI, or GSC Option Board Graphics Configuration Restrictions This subsection describes restrictions on the installation and support of graphics adapters. Graphics Displays The system supports only four graphics displays at a time. A âdisplayâ is a video output port or connector . For example, the Dual V isualize Enhanced Graphics Card (A4451A) is a dual display card. It has two external video connectors so it accounts for two of the maximum of four displays. Y ou need to install a V isualize Enhanced Graphics Card (A4450A) in addition to the built-in EG Graphics, and the A4451A for a four display system. The built-in graphics adapter ( graphics(0)) accounts for one graphics dis- play . Dual Graphics Adapters Yo u may not install dual display graphics adapters in option slot 1 and option slot 3 at the same time. Installing dual display graphics adapters in option slot 1 and option slot 3 at the same time results in the graphics adapter in slot 1 being disabled. Yo u may not install dual display graphics adapters in option slot 2 and option slot 4 at the same time. Installing dual display graphics adapter in option slot 2 and option slot 4 at the same time reults in the graphics adapter in slot 2 being disabled. Multi-board Graphics Adapters When a V isualize48Z (A4244A) two board graphics adapter is installed, only one other graphics adapter may be installed in the option slots. If the highest numbered slot used by the V isual- ize 48Z board set is an even numbered slot, then you may only install a graphics card in the remaing odd numbered slot. If the highest numbered slot used by the V isualize 48Z board set is an odd numbered slot, then you may only install a graphics card in the remaining even numbered slot. For exam- ple; assuming a V isualize 48Z board set is installed in slots 1 and 2, slot two is the highest numbered slot used and it is an even numbered slot. Therefore you may only install an aditional graphics adapter in slot 3, which is the remaining odd numbered slot. NOTICE: The A4077A Color Graphics Card, A4078A Dual Color Graphics Card, A4079B HCRX-8Z graphics adapter , and the A4071B HCRX-24 graphics adapter with the A4072A Z Accelerator attached are not supported in the Model C160/C180.

151 C SCSI Connections
152 SCSI Connections This appendix provides information about connecting Small Computer Sys- tem Interface (SCSI) devices to an HP 9000 C160/C180/C200/C240/C360 workstation. It presents the information in the following sections: â¢ SCSI bus differences â¢ SCSI restrictions â¢ Determining SCSI bus length â¢ Assigning SCSI device IDs â¢ Connecting to the SCSI ports The instructions in this chapter assume you are using HP-UX version 9.05 or later operating system with HP VUE version 3.0 or later interface. NOTICE When attaching external SCSI devices, be sure to terminate the last device on the external SCSI bus. Failure to terminate the SCSI bus will result in erratic device behavior .
153 SCSI Connections SCSI Bus Differences SCSI Bus Differences A Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI) bus is an IEEE standard bus for connecting your workstation to internal and external devices (SCSI devices) running at different speeds, singly or in combination. Examples of these SCSI devices are 4-mm DDS-format tape drives, CD-ROM drives, and W in- chester hard disk drives. There are two types of SCSI buses available with this workstation - a nar- row , single-ended SCSI bus (SE SCSI), and a fast, wide differential SCSI bus (FWD SCSI) (on C160/C180/C200-upgrade), or an ultra wide single- ended SCSI bus (Ultra W ide-SE) (C200/C240/C360 only).

156 SCSI Connections SCSI Restrictions SCSI Restrictions This section describes the SCSI restrictions that apply to your workstation in the following areas: â¢ Cables â¢ Connectors and Terminator â¢ SCSI configuration constraints Cables All SCSI devices ship without cables. Only SCSI cables approved by HP can be used to connect your workstation and any SCSI devices. HP offers the following SCSI cables for narrow , single-ended SCSI devices: â¢ K2296 cable with 0.9 meter (3 feet) length â¢ K2297 cable with 1.5 meter (5 feet) length HP offers the following SCSI cables for connecting externally connected devices to the system fast, wide differential port: â¢ C2911A cable with 0.9 meter (3 feet) length â¢ C2924A cable with 2.5 meter (8.2 feet) length â¢ C2925A cable with 10.0 meter (32.8 feet) length â¢ C2926A cable with 20.0 meter (65.6 feet) length HP offers the following SCSI cables for connecting externally connected devices to the system ultra, wide single-ended port (C200/C240/C360): â¢ C2978A cable with 0.5 meter (1.64 feet) length â¢ C2979A cable with 1.5 meter (5 feet) length
157 SCSI Connections SCSI Restrictions CAUTION: SCSI cables approved by HP are designed to function within the SCSI tolerances for HP devices. Use of other cables can result in signiï¬cant problems with system operation. The narrow , singled-ended SCSI implemented on C160/C180/C200/C240/ C360 workstations limits the total cable length of narrow SE SCSI cables to 6 meters (19.6 feet). The fast, wide, differential SCSI deï¬nition limits the total cable length of FW SCSI cables to 25 meters (82 feet). The ultra, wide single-ended SCSI deï¬nition limits the total cable length of ultra, wide-SE SCSI cables to 3 meters (9.84 feet). Always use the shortest possible cable(s) for your conï¬guration. If you are daisy-chaining narrow SE SCSI devices together , use the follow- ing cables: â¢ 92222A cable with 0.5 meter (1.6 feet) length â¢ 92222B cable with 1.0 meter (3.2 feet) length â¢ 92222C cable with 2.0 meter (6.6 feet) length If you are daisy-chaining FWD SCSI devices together , use the following cables: â¢ C2911A cable with 0.9 meter (3 feet) length â¢ C2924A cable with 2.5 meter (8.2 feet) length â¢ C2925A cable with 10.0 meter (32.8 feet) length â¢ C2926A cable with 20.0 meter (65.6 feet) length If you are daisy-chaining ultra, wide-SE SCSI devices together , use the fol- lowing cable: â¢ C2978A cable with 0.5 meter (1.64 feet) length NOTICE See âDetermining SCSI Bus Lengthâ later in this Appendix to determine the total length of your cables.
158 SCSI Connections SCSI Restrictions Connectors and Terminators Any narrow , SE SCSI device connecting to the system must use a 50-pin high-density thumb screw connector on the end connecting to the system board. Any fast, wide differential or ultra, wide-SE SCSI device connecting to the system must use a 68-pin high-density thumb screw connector on both ends. NOTICE The terminators for fast, wide differential SCSI and ultra, wide-SE SCSI are different and not compatible, even though the connectors are identical. It is necessary to put a terminator on empty SCSI connectors on the back panel of the system. Also, a SCSI device attached to the SCSI bus or the last external device connected to the SCSI bus must be terminated with a SCSI terminator . If you do not already have a SCSI terminator , you must order ter- minator C2904A (for 50-pin connectors) or C2905A (for 68-pin fast, wide differential connectors) or C2972A (for 68-pin ultra, wide-SE connectors) from Hewlett-Packard.
159 SCSI Connections SCSI Restrictions SCSI Configuration Constraints Y ou are limited to the number of same-type SCSI devices per system. Before adding another SCSI device, determine if the system can support the addi- tional device. This workstation offers the following types of SCSI bus, each with its own conï¬guration constraints: â¢ Narrow, Single-ended SCSI bus (C160/C180/C200 /C240/C360) â¢ Fast, Wide Differential SCSI bus (C160/C180/C200 upgrade) â¢ Ultra, Wide-Single-Ended SCSI bus (C200 /C240/C360 only) Narrow, Single-ended SCSI Bus Configuration Constraints For the NSE SCSI bus, HP-UX supports only one of each type of removable disk drive and two of the same type tape devices per system. T able 21 shows conï¬guration constraints for each NSE SCSI device type. If the system has an internal CD-ROM drive or DDS tape drive, you must count them as NSE SCSI devices. T able 21 NSE SCSI Bus Conï¬guration Constraints NSE SCSI Devices Maximum Number of Each T ype of Device Allowed Hard Disk Drives (external only) 7 CD-ROM Drives (one internal) 1 4-mm DDS T ape Drives (one internal) 2 9-track T ape Drives 2 650-MB Magneto-Optical Drives 1 Magneto-Optical Autochangers (see notice below) 1 Maximum Number of NSE SCSI Devices 7 NOTICE: Magneto-Optical Autochangers use three NSE SCSI drive address. Each ad- dress must be accounted for in the maximum number of NSE SCSI devices al- lowed.

168 SCSI Connections Assigning SCSI Device IDs 2 You can tell which SCSI IDs are currently in use by looking under the H/W Path heading. The listing 8/16/5 scsi is the built-in SCSI bus controller. For devices connected to the built-in SCSI bus, such as disks, the fourth number is the SCSI ID for that device. For example, the listing 8/16/5.4.0 in the sample device list tells you that there is a SCSI device (a disk) currently using ID 4 on the SCSI bus. Narrow Single-Ended SCSI Device IDs Before assigning a SCSI device ID to your drive, you need to check your SCSI device IDs. T o check what SCSI device IDs are available and assign an ID to your device, follow these instructions which use T able 27: 1 Write in the SCSI device ID of any internal devices connect to the narrow, single- ended SCSI bus in Table 27. 2 Write in the device ID of any eternal devices connect to the narrow, single-ended SCSI bus. 3 Add your new drive to the table as either an internal or an external device. NOTICE: The C1700A Magneto-Optical Autochanger uses three SCSI addresses, and accounts for three of the seven devices allowed on the SCSI bus. 4 Check to see which SCSI device IDs are not used. You can use ID numbers 0 through 6 if they are not already in use. If the default ID on your drive does not conflict with any existing drive IDs, use that ID. If your default address conflicts with an existing drive ID, you need to assign a new SCSI device ID to your drive. See the drive installation documentation for information on changing the device ID.

182 The Boot Console Interface Accessing the Boot Console Interface Accessing the Boot Console Interface T o access the boot console interface, follow these steps: NOTICE: This procedure should be done by a system administrator . 1 Close any files and applications on your workstation. 2 Press the power switch on the front panel of the system unit. NOTICES: There is no need to manually shut down the HP-UX operating system on your workstation before powering it off. When you turn of f the power switch, your workstation automatically shuts down the operating system before terminating the power . Make sure that you do not unplug the systemâ s power cord or otherwise interrupt power to the system unit at this time. 3 When the system has completely shut down, power on your workstation. If Autoboot is turned off, the boot sequence automatically stops at the boot console Main Menu. If Autoboot is turned on, you will see the following messages: Processor is starting Autoboot process. To discontinue, press any key within 10 seconds. If Autoboot and Autosearch are both turned on, you will see the following mes- sages: Processor is booting from first available device.To discontinue, press any key within 10 seconds. NOTICE: If you are using a power-saving monitor , you will have less than 10 seconds from the time this message appears to press a key . 4 Press a key. You will then see the message: Boot terminated The Main Menu of the boot console appears.
183 The Boot Console Interface Booting Y our Workstation Booting Your Workstation Usually , you start your workstation by turning it on and waiting for HP-UX to boot automatically . However , you may not always want the usual sequence to occur . For example, you may want to start your workstation from an operating sys- tem that is stored on a device that is different from your usual boot device. If your normal operating system kernel or the disk on which it resides becomes damaged or unusable, you may wish to boot from a different disk or perhaps another type of device, such as a DDS-format tape drive. Here are some situations and examples: â¢ If you know which device you want to boot from, and you know that it contains a bootable operating system, follow the directions in âAccessing the Boot Con- sole Interfaceâ earlier in this appendix, and then type the following at the prompt: Main Menu: Enter command > boot device where device is the hardware path to the device, speciï¬ed in Mnemonic Style Notation. For example, if you wish to boot an operating system that is stored on a DDS- format tape in a drive that is located at â âsescsi.1.0â â, follow the directions in âAccessing the Boot Console Interfaceâ earlier in this appendix, and then type the following command at the prompt: Main Menu: Enter command > boot sescsi.1.0 The operating system on the speciï¬ed device is used to start your workstation. â¢ If you wish to interact with the Initial System Loader (ISL) before booting your workstation, follow the directions in âAccessing the Boot Console Interfaceâ ear- lier in this appendix, and then type the following at the prompt: Main Menu: Enter command > boot device Y ou are prompted: Interact with IPL (Y,N,Q)>
184 The Boot Console Interface Booting Y our Workstation Answering yes ( y) causes the ISL to be loaded from the speciï¬ed device. After a short time, the following prompt appears on your screen: ISL> ISL is the program that actually controls the loading of the operating system. By interacting with ISL, you can choose to load an alternate version of the HP-UX operating system. If you do not want ISL to be loaded, you must enter n. For example, if the usual kernel ( /stand/vmunix) on your root disk ( fwscsi.6.0) has become corrupted, and you wish to boot your workstation from the backup kernel ( /stand/vmunix.prev), type the following at the ISL> prompt: ISL> hpux /stand/vmunix.prev â¢ If you do not know which media in your ï¬le systems have bootable oper- ating systems, you can ï¬nd them with the sear ch IPL command.
185 The Boot Console Interface Searching for Bootable Media Searching for Bootable Media T o list devices that contain bootable media, follow the directions in âAccess- ing the Boot Console Interfaceâ earlier in this appendix, and then type the following at the prompt: Main Menu: Enter command > search ipl The search command searches all buses. The search may turn up more devices than there are lines on your display . If you are using a text terminal, you may control the progress of the search from your terminalâ s keyboard by performing the following steps: â¢ T o hold the display temporarily , press Ctrl S. â¢ To continue the display, press Ctrl Q. â¢ To halt the search, press any other key These ï¬ow-control commands do not work with a bitmapped display , but such a display can show more than forty lines of text, so you are unlikely to need them. T o search for devices of just one type that actually contain bootable media, follow the directions in âAccessing the Boot Console Interfaceâ earlier in this appendix, and then type the following at the prompt: Main Menu: Enter command > search ipl device_type Where device_type is one of the following: fwscsi is the built-in fast, wide SCSI bus (or ultra, wide-SE on C200). sescsi is the built-in single-ended SCSI bus. lan is all connections to the built-in LAN. gsc n is an optional fast, wide SCSI interface in slot number n.
