NOTICE: When attaching external SCSI devices, be sure to terminate the last device on the external SCSI bus. Power Cord Connector Plug the workstation’ s power cord into the power cord connector to provide ac power to the system.
1-17 Y ou can use one of the following HP monitors with your workstation: • 17-inch, 1280x1024 color monitor (A4032A) • 17-inch, 1280x1024 color monitor (A4330A) • 20-inch, 1280x1024 color monitor (A4033A) • 20–inch, 1280x1024 color monitor (A4331A) Before using your monitor , you should become familiar with its con- trols, connectors, and indicators. For information on these controls and indicators and on using your monitor , see the documentation that came with it. Monitors
1-18 There are two types of Hewlett-Packard keyboards available for use with your workstation. They are the following: • PS/2 Keyboard • ITF Keyboard CAUTION: Use only devices that conform to the HP HIL specification with Hewlett-Packard computer systems. Devices that are not HP HIL compat- ible but have similar connectors may appear to be compatible, but will damage your system. Keyboard Differences Aside from the obvious difference in the appearance of the PS/2 and ITF keyboards due to the arrangement of the keys, there is also a dif- ference in the keys and their output codes. For example, some keys on one keyboard may not exist on the other keyboard. These keys gener- ate codes that may not exist as output from the other keyboard (or may be generated by a different key). Codes that are generated when a key is pressed are called keycodes. Some applications expect to use keycodes generated by keys existing on one of the keyboards (the ITF keyboard for example). Since the keys do not exist on the other keyboard (the PS/2 keyboard for exam- ple), an accommodation must be made if the PS/2 keyboard is to be used. In most cases, it is still possible to use some other key that is equivalent (generates the same keycode from a different keycap). T o do this, it is necessary to know which keys are equivalent on the two keyboards. T able 1–3 compares the equivalent keys of the ITF and PS/2 keyboards. NOTICE: Keyboard keys not mentioned in T able 1–3 are the same on both keyboards. Keyboards

1-21 Y ou can use an HP three-button mouse, a trackball, or other options as pointing devices with your workstation by using the serial ports or the HIL port. For instructions on using your particular pointing de- vice, see the manual that came with it. For general information on using three-button mice and on the vari- ous cursor shapes associated with different areas of HP VUE while using a mouse, see Using Y our HP W orkstation . Pointing Devices
1-22 Y our workstation uses the HP-UX operating system, versions 9.05 and 10.0 or later . Instant Ignition systems, (systems with preloaded software), have X-windows and Hewlett-Packard’ s graphical user in- terface, HP VUE version 3.0, installed and configured. Some systems use a version of HP-UX called “Desktop HP-UX.” This version occupies less disk space than the other version because it does not include full HP-UX functionality , such as online manual ref- erence pages (man pages). Please refer to the “Instant Ignition System Configuration Informa- tion” sheet that shipped with your system for details on configuration. If your Instant Ignition system does not have the kernel preconfigured with all of the device drivers you need, refer to the manual System Administration T asks HP 9000 Series 700 Computers to reconfigure your kernel. If you have any questions about Instant Ignition, refer to Using Y our HP W orkstation for more information. Operating System Overview

3-2 This chapter provides an overview of the optional CD-ROM drive and media, and describes how to use the CD-ROM drive. W e assume the CD-ROM drive is set to the factory default address of SCSI ID 2. The instructions in this chapter assume you are using the HP-UX version 9.05 or later operating system with the HP VUE version 3.0 interface. NOTICE: Be sure you have read and understand the information on mounting and unmounting CD-ROM discs before you begin using your CD-ROM disc drive. NOTICE: Some procedures in this chapter require you to log in as root . If you cannot log in as r oot , con- tact your system administrator .
3-3 This section describes basic information needed for using the CD- ROM drive and CD-ROM discs. CD-ROM Drive The CD-ROM drive is a random access read-only mass storage de- vice that uses removable CD-ROM discs. The drive supports the ISO 9660 and High Sierra format standards. Y ou can access information from the drive like any other disk drive, except that you cannot write to the drive. The drive contains a semiconductor laser for reading data optically , and includes an embedded controller with a SCSI interface. Controls and Featur es Figure 6–1 and T able 6–1 describe the operating controls and features of the CD-ROM drive.

3-5 CD-ROM Media CD-ROM discs are 120 mm (4.7 in.) in diameter , and use one data surface with a capacity of 600 megabytes. The data surface contains pits and flat spots arranged in a continuous spiral track, which is read at a constant speed. Y ou may access files and data stored on a CD- ROM disc, but you may not write files or data to a CD-ROM disc. CAUTION: Handle CD-ROM discs by the edges only . Al- ways 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 pro- long the life of your CD-ROM discs and drive: • Use CD-ROM discs in a clean environment to prevent dust par- ticles from scratching disc surfaces. • Store CD-ROM discs in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture and heat damage. • Don’t 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 “ Mounting and Unmounting a CD-ROM Disc,” later in this chapter , for instructions. CD-ROM discs are iden- tical to audio compact discs (CDs), except that they store computer data.
3-6 This section describes how to perform tasks with your CD-ROM drive. Loading and Unloading a CD-ROM Disc This section describes how to load or unload a CD-ROM disc.

3-14 Using Device Files Device files are special files that tell your system which pathway to use through the system hardware when communicating with a specific device and what kind of device it is. The examples in this section assume that the SCSI ID of your CD- ROM drive is set to the factory default of SCSI ID 2, using the device file /dev/dsk/c201d2 s0 . (The underlined 2 indicates the SCSI ID number .) NOTICE: The device file name used in these examples is appropriate only for systems running HP-UX 9.05. If you are using HP-UX 10.0, the device file names will depend on the naming conven- tions of your particular system. See “SCSI ID and Device File Information for HP-UX 10.0 or Later” in Chapter 1 of this book. If you set the SCSI address of your CD-ROM drive to a value other than 2, you must create a device file for it, then substitute the path- name of your device file in the examples that follow . Refer to the Sys- tem Administration T asks manual for information on how to create a device file.
3-15 T o access information on a CD-ROM disc, you must first mount the disc. This applies to file system information only . If you wish to load a music CD, for example, you would not need to mount the disc. Mounting a disc with file system information on it gives the disc a pathname that allows your workstation to communicate electronically with it. Y ou must unmount the CD-ROM disc before removing it from the drive. CAUTION: T o use a CD-ROM disc as a mounted file sys- tem, you must mount the CD-ROM disc every time you load it into the drive. Y ou must also unmount the CD-ROM disc every time you unload it from the drive. Failure to mount or unmount a disc can cause a system error condi- tion and can also require rebooting the system. If your workstation is running HP VUE, follow these instructions to mount and unmount a CD-ROM disc as a file system. If you’re using something other than HP VUE, use the instructions for mounting and unmounting a CD-ROM disc that come with that product. For more information on configuring your CD-ROM drive, see the System Ad- ministration T asks manual or online help. The procedures in this chapter require you to log in as root . If you cannot log in as root , contact your system administrator . Mounting a CD-ROM Disc Using SAM Use the following procedure to mount a CD-ROM disc: 1. Log in as root . If you need information on logging in or setting up a user account, see Using Y our HP W orkstation . 2. Load the CD-ROM disc into the disc tray and gently push the tray into the drive.

3-21 Reading the Busy Light The CD-ROM busy light shows the status of the drive during the self test and during activity with the host system. The CD-ROM drive performs the self test when one of the following happens: • Y ou load a disc and close the Disc Tray . • Y ou turn on the workstation with a disc already loaded in the CD-ROM drive. For the self test, the busy light operates in the following sequence: 1. Light On – The busy light goes on when the disc loads into the drive. 2. Light Flashing – The light flashes six times while a read test is performed on the disc. 3. Light Off – The light goes of f when the self test is com- plete. The busy light stays on after the self test when one of the following conditions exist: • A defective disc • A disc insertion error (for example, an upside-down disc) • No disc present The busy light goes off when one of the following conditions exist: • A CD-ROM drive power failure exists. • The drive is idle on the SCSI bus. The busy light flashes during normal activity with the system.

4-2 This chapter describes how to perform tasks that archive to and trans- fer data from the optional DDS tape drive. It also describes how to maintain and care for the drive. W e assume the DDS tape drive is set to the factory default address of SCSI ID 3. The instructions in this chapter assume you are using the HP-UX version 9.05 or later operating system with the HP VUE version 3.0 interface. CAUTION: Use only data cassettes labeled DDS (Digital Data Storage) cassettes. Never use audio cas- settes labeled DA T (Digital Audio T ape) in your DDS-format drive.
4-3 This section describes basic information needed for using your DDS tape drive and data cassettes. Depending on your configuration, your DDS drive may be a DDS-DC drive, or a DDS-2 drive. NOTICE: In most cases, the information for using these drives is the same; however , in a few instances (such as the LED codes), the information dif- fers for each drive. For the purposes of this dis- cussion, wherever we refer to simply the “DDS” drive, that information is for both drives. Whenever the information differs, we will specify whether the information refers to the DDS-DC or the DDS-2 drive. DDS Drive Y our DDS tape drive is a 3 1/2-inch form factor DDS tape drive with data compression and a SCSI interface. It conforms to the DDS for- mat standard for storing computer data, and incorporates a data com- pression capability . It’ s a high-capacity , high transfer -rate device for data storage on tape. Controls and Indicators Figure 5–1 shows the LEDs and eject button of the DDS drive. Cassette LED Drive LED Eject Button Figur e 5–1. DDS Drive Contr ols and Indicators DDS T ape Drive and Data Cassette Descriptions
4-4 LEDs – DDS-DC Drive This section describes the LED codes that are displayed. The front panel has two colored LEDs: the Cassette Light and the Drive Light. A green light indicates normal operation, and an amber light indicates a warning condition. Pulsing shows activity between the drive and the SCSI bus. If the Cassette Light (left LED) shows steady amber , it means that the cassette is write-protected. If the Drive Light (right LED) shows steady amber , this indicates a fault condition. T able 5–1 lists the LED codes and their meanings. T able 5–1.

4-5 LED W arning Conditions – DDS-DC Drive The following sections describe actions to take if the LEDs indicate a warning condition. High Humidity If the LEDs display the high humidity signal, the humidity is too high and the drive does not perform any operations until the humidity drops. Self-T est (Failur e) If the LEDs display the self-test (failure) signal, a fault was diagnosed during the self tests. Note the pattern of the pulses and contact your local service representative. Media W ear (Caution) Hewlett-Packard DDS drives continually monitor the number of er- rors they have to correct when reading and writing to a tape to deter- mine tape wear and tape head cleanliness. If excessive tape wear or dirty tape heads are suspected, the drive warns you by displaying the Media W ear (Caution) signal on the LED indicators. 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 de- scribed in the “Cleaning the T ape Heads” section, later in this chapter . 3. Repeat the operation you performed when the Media W ear (Cau- tion) signal displayed. If the Media W ear (Caution) signal still displays, then the data cassette should be replaced.
4-6 4. If you are performing a backup from disk to tape, discard the data cassette and back up your files using a new data cassette. 5. If you are performing a restore from tape to disk, complete the restore, then discard the data cassette and back up the files to a new data cassette. LEDs – DDS-2 The front panel has two colored LEDs: the T ape Light and the Clean/ Attention Light. The T ape Light flashes green to show activity (load- ing, unloading, reading, and writing). Steady green means a cartridge is loaded. The Clean/Attention Light flashes amber to indicate head cleaning is needed or a cartridge is near the end of its life. Steady amber means a hard fault.

4-7 Data Cassettes Media Life HP DDS data cassettes are currently specified 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 trans- lates 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: • The relative humidity in your operating environment is consis- tently less than 50%. • Y ou know that the backup software you are using makes multi- ple passes over sections of the tape during backups or restores. • Y ou notice that when you do backups and restores the tape stops and starts frequently . Cleaning the T ape 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 cassette and cleans the heads. At the end of the clean- ing 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.
4-8 Media Restrictions If you interchange media between other HP workstation DDS 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. Setting the Write-Protect T ab on a Data Cassette Y ou can only store or change information on a data cassette when the write-protect tab is in the write position. So, before trying to write to the data cassette, make sure that the write-protect tab is in the write position, as shown in Figure 5–2.            Figur e 5–2.

NOTICE: The write-protect tab should always be in the write position for transferring data to a cassette.
4-9 This section describes how to perform tasks with your DDS tape drive. Loading and Unloading a Data Cassette Follow these steps to load and unload a data cassette in the DDS tape drive: 1. T urn on power to the tape drive. 2. Insert the data cassette into the drive, as shown in Figure 5–3. Eject Button Figur e 5–3. Loading a Data Cassette Operating the DDS T ape Drive
4-10 3. Push the data cassette about three quarters of the way into the drive. The drive automatically pulls the data cassette the rest of the way in. When the LEDs on the front of the drive stop flash- ing, the drive has loaded the data cassette. 4. T o remove the data cassette, press and release the eject button on the front of the drive, as shown in Figure 5–3. The LEDs on the drive flash on and off. T en to twenty seconds later , the data cas- sette slides partway out of the drive. Remove the cassette from the drive. V erifying the DDS T ape Drive Operation T o verify that your workstation can communicate with the DDS-for- mat tape drive, if you are using HP-UX 9.05, type the following: /etc/ioscan –d scsi Enter After a few moments the ioscan utility returns a message similar to the following: H/W Path Description Status ====================================== 2.0.1.3.0 tape_drive ok(nnnnnnnnn) If you are using HP-UX 10.0 or later , type the following: /usr/sbin/ioscan –d stape Enter
4-1 1 After a few moments the ioscan utility returns a message similar to the following: H/W Path Class Description ============================================ bc 8 bc I/O Adapter 8/12 ba Core I/O Adapter 8/12/5 ext_bus Built-in SCSI 8/12/5.3 target 8/12/5.3.0 tape HP HP35480A If ioscan does not see your tape drive it will return the following mes- sage: ioscan: No hardware found If you receive this message, go to Chapter 6, “Solving Problems.”
4-12 Using Device Files Y our system has four default device files for use with your tape drive: two device files for noncompressed mode and two device files for compressed mode. If you use these device files, you do not need to create any device files. If the SCSI address of your tape drive is not set to the factory default of SCSI ID 3, you must create a device file, then substitute the path- name of your device file in the examples that follow . Refer to the Sys- tem Administration T asks manual for information on how to create a device file. NOTICE: The device file names used in these examples are appropriate only for systems running HP- UX 9.05. If you are using HP-UX 10.0 or later , the device file names will depend on the nam- ing conventions of your particular system. See “SCSI and Device File Information for HP-UX 10.0 or Later” in Chapter 1 of this book. Device Files — No Data Compression Y our system has two device files for using your tape drive with data compression turned off. The device files are named /dev/rmt/3m and /dev/rmt/3mn , and are set for SCSI ID 3. If you use the /dev/rmt/3m device file, the tape drive rewinds the data cassette every time the system releases the drive from its control. If you use the /dev/rmt/3mn device file, the drive does not rewind the data cassette. The tape stays where it was after the last operation. If you use these device files, you do not need to create any device files. Device files are special files that tell your system which system hardware pathway to use when communicating with a specific device and what kind of device it is.
4-13 Device Files — Data Compression If you wish to use the data compression feature, use the device files /dev/rmt/3hc and /dev/rmt/3hcn , which are set for SCSI ID 3. If you use the /dev/rmt/3hc device file, the tape drive compresses the data and rewinds the data cassette every time the system releases the drive from its control. If you use the /dev/rmt/3hcn device file, the drive compresses the data, but does not rewind the data cassette. The tape stays where it was after the last operation. If you use these device files, you do not need to create any device files. Archiving Data in Compr essed and Noncompressed Mode This section describes how to transfer data to and from a DDS- for- mat data cassette (saving and restoring) using the HP-UX tar com- mand and your tape drive’ s device file. NOTICE: Before using your DDS-format tape drive to back up your file system, make sure you read the “Media Interchangeability Restrictions” section later in this chapter . The tar (tape file archiver) command allows you to save files to a data cassette, restore files from a data cassette to your system, or list files on your data cassette. The examples in this chapter use the device file /dev/rmt/3m , which archives the data in noncompressed mode and causes the drive to re- wind the data cassette. T o use data compression, substitute /dev/rmt/3hc for /dev/rmt/3m . If you named your device files differ- ently , substitute the correct file name where appropriate. The tar (tape file archiv- er) command saves files to a data cassette, re- stores files from a data cassette, or lists files on a data cassette.
4-14 Writing to a Data Cassette Use the following instructions to save files to a data cassette: 1. Check that the write-protect tab on the data cassette is in the write position. 2. Load the data cassette into the tape drive. 3. Click on the T erminal Control on the Front Panel of your W orkspace. T erminal Control A terminal window opens. 4. Move the mouse cursor into the terminal window and click the left mouse button. 5. Enter the following command line to write to the tape: tar –cvf /dev/rmt/3m pathname Enter where pathname is the pathname of the file or directory contain- ing files that you want to write to the tape. T o use the data com- pression mode, substitute /dev/rmt/3hc for /dev/rmt/3m .
4-15 Restoring Files from a Data Cassette to Y our System Use the following instructions to restore files from a data cassette to your system: 1. Load the data cassette into the tape drive. 2. Use cd to change to the directory you want the files to reside in. 3. Click on the T erminal Control on the Front Panel of your W orkspace. A terminal window opens. 4. Move the mouse cursor into the terminal window and click the left mouse button. 5. Enter the following command line to restore data: tar –xvf /dev/rmt/3m pathname Enter where pathname is the pathname of the file or directory contain- ing files that you want to restore from the tape. If pathname is not specified, everything on the data cassette is restored. T o use the data compression mode, substitute /dev/rmt/3hc for /dev/ rmt/3m .
4-16 Listing the Files on a Data Cassette Use the following instructions to list the files on a data cassette: 1. Load the data cassette into the tape drive. 2. Click on the T erminal Control on the Front Panel of your W orkspace. A terminal window opens. 3. Move the mouse cursor into the terminal window and click the left mouse button. 4. Enter the following command line to receive a file listing of the data cassette: tar –tvf /dev/rmt/3m Enter T o use the data compression mode, substitute /dev/rmt/3hc for /dev/rmt/3m .
4-17 Further Command Information For additional information on using tar and a complete list of the command arguments, refer to the tar man page by typing the follow- ing: man tar Enter Y ou may also communicate with the tape drive with the cpio, ftio, mt , and fbackup commands. For more information on these com- mands, enter the following in a terminal window: man command Enter Media Interchangeability Restrictions If you interchange media between DDS-format tape drives, the fol- lowing two restrictions apply to the media: • Data cassettes with compressed data can only be read by tape drives that have data compression capabilities, such as the tape drive (part number C1504–67201) found in Kit A2275A #AHS. • Full height (5 1/4-in) DDS-format tape drives (models HP 35470A and HP35480A) can get 1.3 GB and can read or write to 60-meter data cassettes only , if they are not using data com- pression. W ith data compression, these drives can get 2 GB and can read or write to 90-meter cassettes. T r oubleshooting If you have trouble with any of these procedures for using your DDS tape drive, see Chapter 6 of this book, “Solving Problems.” The man utility looks up man pages on the sys- tem.

Using Device Files Device files are special files that tell your system which pathway to use through the system hardware when communicating with a specific device and what kind of device it is. The examples in this chapter assume that the SCSI ID of your floppy drive is set to the factory default of SCSI ID 0, using the device file /dev/rfloppy/c201d0 s0 . (The underlined 0 indicates the SCSI ID number .) NOTICE: The device file name used in these examples is appropriate only for systems running HP-UX 9.05. If you are using HP-UX 10.0 or later , the device file names will depend on the naming conventions of your particular system. See “SCSI ID and Device File Information for HP- UX 10.0 or Later” in Chapter 1 of this book. If you set the SCSI address of your floppy drive to a value other than 0, you must create a device file for it, then substitute the pathname of your device file in the examples that follow . Refer to the System Ad- ministration T asks manual for information on how to create a device file.

T o boot a device manually , follow these steps: 1. Follow the directions in “Accessing the Boot Console Interface,” in Appendix D of this book. NOTICE: Y our workstation automatically shuts down the operating system before it terminates the power . 2. At the Main Menu prompt, type the following: Main Menu: Enter a command or a menu > search ipl Enter This causes your workstation to search exhaustively for bootable media. 3. Boot from one of the listed devices by typing the following at the prompt: Main Menu: Enter a command or a menu > boot device Enter where device is the hardwar e path to the device, specified in mnemonic style notation, such as scsi.5.0. 4. If your workstation still fails to boot, there is either something wrong with the file system or with the hardware. If you suspect a file system failure, see the manual Using HP-UX for help on dealing with file system failures. If you think that something is wrong with the hardware, continue reading this chapter for more troubleshooting information. Dealing with a Boot Failure The search command looks for bootable media on your workstation.
6-1 1 J Class systems use Memory Page Deallocation, a feature that allows the system to provide information to the operating system about memory failures. HP-UX 10.0 uses Memory Page Deallocation information to map out the failing memory areas, and continue normal operation. Y ou can use the command memrpt with the detail switch to obtain information about the Memory Page Deallocation T able (PDT) as well as single bit errors logged by the system. # /usr/sbin/sysdiag Enter DUI >logtool Enter LOGTOOL> memrpt detail Enter NOTICE: Y ou must be logged in as superuser to use the memrpt command. T o exit the sysdiag and logtool utilities, use the exit command. The pdt can also be checked using the pdt command in the Service menu of the boot console handler . If a failing SIMM is replaced, use the Service menu pdt clear command to clear out the PDT . HP-UX 9.05 halts when it detects the presence of bad memory at boot up and displays the following message: ISL booting hpux Secondary Loader 9000/700 Revision 3.08 Booting /hp-ux 2103692 319488 309344 start 0x25030 panic: Memory self-test failed Memory Failures

B-5 4. If you are using HP-UX 9.05, you can determine which SCSI IDs are currently in use by looking under the H/W Path head- ing. The listing 2.0.1 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 2.0.1.6 .0 in the sample device list tells you that there is a SCSI device (a disk) currently using ID 6 on the SCSI bus. The information is presented in a different format if you are using HP-UX 10.0 or later; although you still look under the H/W Path heading. NOTICE: Never use SCSI address 7 for any device. Ad- dress 7 is reserved for the SCSI controller .
B-6 Perform the following steps to open the system unit: 1. Power off the system, the monitor , and any peripheral devices. Unplug the system unit power cord and the power cord of any peripheral devices from ac wall outlets. Refer to Using Y our HP W orkstation for the proper method of shutting down your work- station. 2. Attach the static-grounding wrist strap by following the instruc- tions on the package. Attach the sticky end of the wrist strap to bare metal on the back panel of the system unit. 3.

B-26 16. Follow the instructions in “Checking the SCSI IDs” earlier in this appendix, to verify that your workstation can see the newly installed drive. For information about using your drives see the following chapters in this book: • Using your CD-ROM drive is in Chapter 3. • Using your DDS tape drive is in Chapter 4. • Using your floppy drive is in Chapter 5.
B-27 This section describes how to add a hard drive to your workstation. The first part deals with installing a hard drive and the second part tells you how to configure your hard disk after it is installed. Y our workstation can have two hard drives. The hard drive that came with your workstation was set to SCSI ID 6. If you are adding a se- cond hard disk, the second hard disk will use SCSI ID 5. If another device on your workstation is using SCSI ID 5, change the hard disk’ s SCSI ID to an unused SCSI ID. NOTICE: Do not use SCSI ID 7 for your hard drive’ s SCSI address. The host SCSI controller uses SCSI ID 7. If you are adding a second hard drive, we advise you not to use SCSI ID 6 which is normally reserved for the boot disk drive. Check the jumpers on the hard drive you plan to install. Figure A–15 shows the correct SCSI address for the jumpers on your drive. These jumpers are the only jumpers you may need to change on the drive. 1. Use a pair of small needle-nose pliers to set the SCSI ID jumpers to SCSI ID 5 if you are adding a second hard drive, or SCSI ID 6 if this is the first hard drive (you are running diskless). Check that the other jumpers are set correctly . 2. If you removed the disk drive mounting bracket from the disk drive, replace it now , making sure not to over-tighten the screws. Figure A–16 shows the orientation of the drive in the bracket for both drives and the position of the screws holding the drive bracket in place. Be sure the printed circuit side of one drive is facing the printed circuit side of the other drive. Adding a Hard Drive

C-2 This appendix provides information about connecting Small Comput- er System Interface (SCSI) devices to an HP 9000 J Class worksta- tion. The instructions in this chapter assume you are using the HP-UX version 9.05 or later operating system with the HP VUE version 3.0 interface. NOTICE: When attaching external SCSI devices, be sure to terminate the last device on the external SCSI bus. If no external devices are attached, the SCSI connector on the rear of the system must be terminated with the terminator that was shipped with your workstation.
C-3 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 floppy disk drives, 4-mm DDS- format tape drives, CD-ROM drives, and W inchester hard disk drives. There are two types of SCSI buses available with this workstation – a single-ended SCSI bus, and a fast, wide SCSI bus. T able C–1 shows the specification differences between these SCSI buses, and T able C–2 shows the SCSI addresses, ID numbers, and arbitration priorities for each. CAUTION: Do not mix single-ended and fast, wide devices on any one bus type. Doing this will cause a system failure. T able C–1.

C-5 This section describes the SCSI restrictions that apply to your work- station in the following areas: • Cables • Connectors and terminator • 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 single-ended standard SCSI devices: • K2296 cable with 0.9 meter (3 feet) length • K2297 cable with 1.5 meter (5 feet) length HP offers the following SCSI cables for connecting externally con- nected devices to the system fast, wide port: • C291 1A cable with 0.9 meter (3 feet) length • C2924A cable with 2.5 meter (8.2 feet) length • C2925A cable with 10.0 meter (32.8 feet) length • C2926A cable with 20.0 meter (65.6 feet) length CAUTION: SCSI cables approved by HP are designed to function within the SCSI tolerances for HP de- vices. Use of other cables can result in signifi- cant problems with system operation. SCSI Restrictions
C-6 Singled-ended SCSI-2 definition limits the total cable length of SCSI-2 cables to 6 meters (19.6 feet). Fast, wide SCSI-3 definition limits the total cable length of SCSI-3 cables to 25 meters (82 feet). Always use the shortest possible cable(s) for your configuration. If you are daisy-chaining single-ended standard SCSI-2 devices to- gether , use the following cables: • 92222A cable with 0.5 meter (1.6 feet) length • 92222B cable with 1.0 meter (3.2 feet) length • 92222C cable with 2.0 meter (6.6 feet) length If you are daisy-chaining fast, wide SCSI-3 devices together , use the following cable: • C291 1A cable with 0.9 meter (3 feet) length • C2924A cable with 2.5 meter (8.2 feet) length • C2925A cable with 10.0 meter (32.8 feet) length • C2926A cable with 20.0 meter (65.6 feet) length NOTICE: See “Determining SCSI Bus Length” later in this Appendix to determine the total length of your cables.
C-7 Connectors and T erminator Any single-ended standard SCSI-2 device connecting to the system board must use a 50-pin high-density thumb screw connector on the end connecting to the system board, and a 50-pin low-density bail lock connector on the other end. If you attach a second SCSI-2 de- vice, the cable must have low-density connectors on each end. Any fast, wide SCSI-3 device connecting to the system board must use a 68-pin high-density thumb screw connector on both ends. The last device connected to the SCSI bus must be terminated with a SCSI terminator . All of the devices listed ship without terminators. If you do not already have a SCSI terminator , you must order terminator K2291 (for 50-pin connectors) or C2905A (for 68-pin connectors) from Hewlett-Packard. 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 sup- port the additional device. This workstation offers the following types of SCSI bus, each with its own configuration constraints: • single-ended standard SCSI-2 bus • fast-wide, SCSI-3 bus Single-Ended SCSI-2 Bus Configuration Constraints For the single-ended standard SCSI-2 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 C–3 shows configuration constraints for each single-ended standard SCSI-2 device type. If the system has in- ternal hard disk drives or a floppy disk drive, you must count them as SCSI-2 devices.
C-8 T able C–3. Single-Ended SCSI-2 Bus Configuration Constraints Single-Ended SCSI-2 Devices Maximum Number of Each T ype of Device Allowed Hard Disk Drives (internal and external) Floppy Disk Drives CD-ROM Drives 4-mm DDS T ape Drives (one internal) 9-track T ape Drives 650-MB Magneto-Optical Drives Magneto-Optical Autochangers (see notice below) Maximum Number of SCSI-2 Devices 7 1 1 2 2 1 1 7 NOTICE: Magneto-Optical Autochangers use three SCSI-2 drive addresses. Each address must be accounted for in the maximum number of SCSI-2 devices allowed. CAUTION: Do not mix single-ended standard and fast, wide SCSI-2 peripherals.
C-9 Fast, Wide SCSI-3 Bus Configuration Constraints Fast, wide SCSI-3 does not work with the single-ended standard SCSI-2. T able C–4 shows the configuration constraints for each fast, wide SCSI-3 device type. T able C–4. Fast, W ide SCSI-3 Bus Configuration Constraints External Fast, W ide SCSI-3 Devices SCSI-3 Drive (fast, wide disk drives only) 15 SCSI-3 Disk Arrays (addressed as single drive) 7 Maximum Number of Each T ype of Device Allowed CAUTION: Do not mix single-ended and fast, wide SCSI peripherals together on the same bus. This section helps you to determine the total length of the single-en- ded standard SCSI-2 bus and the fast, wide SCSI-3 bus. Single-Ended SCSI-2 Bus Length Follow these instructions to calculate your total single-ended standard SCSI-2 bus length (including the system unit, external SCSI-2 de- vices, and SCSI-2 interconnect cables) using T able C–5: 1. Find all of your external SCSI-2 devices in the first column. In the third column, write the SCSI-2 bus lengths (from the second column) that correspond to your devices. NOTICE: In the third column, the length for the System Unit is already listed. This number must always be used for the system unit. Determining SCSI Bus Length
C-10 2. In the fourth column, write down the lengths of the SCSI-2 interconnect cables you are using for your installation. (Cable lengths are listed in subsection “Cables” in the section on “SCSI Restrictions.”) 3. Add up all of the numbers in the third column and write that number on the subtotal line at the bottom of the column. Do the same for the fourth column. 4. Add the subtotals together and write the total in the T otal SCSI-2 Bus Length box. NOTICE: The total length of the single-ended standard SCSI-2 bus must not exceed 6 meters (19.6 feet).

C-16 4. If you are using HP-UX 9.05, you can determine which SCSI IDs are currently in use by looking under the H/W Path head- ing. The listing 2.0.1 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 2.0.1.6 .0 in the sample device list tells you that there is a SCSI device (a disk) currently using ID 6 on the SCSI bus. The information is presented in a different format if you are using HP-UX 10.0, although you still look under the H/W Path heading. Single-Ended Standard System 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 C–7: 1. W rite in the SCSI device ID of any internal drives in T able C–7. 2. W rite in the type of external drives (single-ended standard, EISA, or fast, wide devices) currently connected to your system under the heading “External Device Drives” and each drive’ s SCSI device ID under the heading “Device ID Number .” 3. Add your new drive to the table if it is an external device. If it is an internal drive, continue to Step 4. NOTICE: The C1700A Magneto-Optical Autochanger uses three SCSI addresses, and accounts for three of the seven devices allowed on the SCSI bus.
C-17 4. Check to see which SCSI device IDs are not used. Y ou can use ID numbers 0 through 6 if they are not already in use. If the de- fault ID on your drive does not conflict with any existing drive IDs, use that ID. If your default address conflicts with an exist- ing 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. CAUTION: Do not use SCSI device ID 7 for any device except the system card.

D-2 This appendix describes the different features of the boot console in- terface and how to use them. The instructions in this chapter assume you are using the HP-UX ver- sion 9.05 or later operating system.
D-3 There are times when you want to interact directly with the hardware of your workstation before it boots the operating system. Y our work- station provides a menu-driven boot console interface that allows you to perform special tasks, display information, and set certain sys- tem parameters, even if the operating system is unavailable. Here are some of the things you can do: • Boot your workstation • Search for bootable media • Reset your workstation • Display and set boot paths • Display and set your monitor type • Display memory configuration information • Display the status of the EISA slots • Set auto boot and auto search • Set fastboot • Display LAN information • Display system information • Display PIM information NOTICE: All of the tasks in the boot console interface should be performed by a system administrator . Boot Console Interface Features
D-4 The boot console menus follow , showing the various tasks you can perform and the information available. The shortened version of all commands is indicated by the uppercase letters. Help is available for all the menus and commands by using either help , he , or ? and the menu or command you want help on. –––––– Main Menu –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Command Description ––––––– ––––––––––– BOot [PRI|ALT|<path>] Boot from specified path PAth [PRI|ALT|CON|KEY] [<path>] Display or modify a path SEArch [DIsplay|IPL] [<path>] Search for boot devices COnfiguration menu Displays or sets boot values INformation menu Displays hardware information SERvice menu Displays service commands DIsplay Redisplay the current menu HElp [<menu>|<command>] Display help for menu or command RESET Restart the system –––––– Main Menu: Enter a command or a menu >

D-8 T o access the boot console interface, follow these steps: NOTICE: This procedure should be done by a system ad- ministrator . 1. Close any files and applications on your workstation. 2. Follow your normal shutdown procedure. For more information on shutting down your workstation, see Using your HP W orksta - tion . 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. 3. Press a key . Y ou will then see the message: Boot terminated The Main Menu of the boot console appears. Accessing the Boot Console Interface
D-9 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 operat- ing system 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: • If you know which device you want to boot from, and you know that it contains a bootable operating system, follow the directions in “Accessing the Boot Console Interface” earlier in this appendix, and then type the following at the prompt: Main Menu: Enter a command or a menu > boot device Enter where device is the hardware path to the device, specified in Mnemonic Style Notation (see T able D–2). 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 ‘ ‘scsi.1.0’ ’, follow the directions in “Accessing the Boot Con- sole Interface” earlier in this appendix, and then type the fol- lowing command at the prompt: Main Menu: Enter a command or a menu > boot scsi.1.0 Enter The operating system on the specified device is used to start your workstation. Booting Y our W orkstation
D-10 • If you wish to interact with the Initial System Loader ( ISL ) before booting your workstation, follow the directions in “Accessing the Boot Console Interface” earlier in this appen- dix, and then type the following at the prompt: Main Menu: Enter a command or a menu > boot device Enter Y ou are prompted: Interact with ISL (Y or N) > y Enter Answering yes ( y) causes the ISL to be loaded from the spe- cified device. After a short time, the following prompt ap- pears 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. For example, if the usual kernel ( /hp-ux for 9.05 or later , and /stand/vmunix for 10.0 or later) on your root disk ( fwscsi.6.0 ) has become corrupted, and you wish to boot your workstation from the backup kernel ( /SYSBCKUP for 9.05 or later , and /stand/vmunix.prev for 10.0 or later), type the following at the ISL> prompt: ISL> hpux /SYSBCKUP Enter (for 9.05 or later) ISL> /stand/vmunix /stand/vmunix.pr ev Enter (for 10.0 or later) • If you do not know the locations of the bootable operating systems on the various media in your file system, you can find them with the search command.
D-1 1 T o list devices that contain bootable media, follow the directions in “Accessing the Boot Console Interface” earlier in this appendix, and then type the following at the prompt: Main Menu: Enter a command or a menu > search ipl Enter 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 terminal’ s keyboard by performing the following steps: • T o hold the display temporarily , press Ctrl S • T o continue the display , press Ctrl Q • T o halt the search, press any key These flow-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 “Accessing the Boot Console Inter- face” earlier in this appendix, and then type the following at the prompt: Main Menu: Enter a command or a menu > search ipl device_type Enter where device_type is one of the following: fwscsi is the built-in fast, wide SCSI bus scsi is the built-in single-ended SCSI bus lan is all connections to the built-in LAN Searching for Bootable Media
D-12 T o reset your workstation, follow the directions in “Accessing the Boot Console Interface” earlier in this appendix, and then type the following at the prompt: Main Menu: Enter a command or a menu > reset Enter A path is the hardware address of a device that is attached to the I/O system of your workstation. The path command sets the system paths shown in T able D–1: T able D–1. System Paths primary or pri Device Y our workstation’ s default boot device (usually the root disk) Path T ype alternate or alt Y our workstation’ s alternate boot device (usually a DDS-format tape device) T o display the current settings for the system paths, type the follow- ing at the prompt: Main Menu: Enter a command or a menu > path Enter The paths are displayed in Mnemonic Style Notation, as shown in T able D–2. Resetting Y our W orkstation Displaying and Setting Paths The path command sets and displays the hard- ware address of a speci- fied device attached to the I/O bus of your workstation.

For example, to get the path to the primary boot device, follow the directions in “Accessing the Boot Console Interface” earlier in this appendix, and then type the following at the prompt: Main Menu: Enter a command or a menu > path primary Enter T o set a system path to a new value, follow the directions in “Acces- sing the Boot Console Interface” earlier in this appendix, and then type the following at the prompt: Main Menu: Enter a command or a menu > path path_type path Enter where path_type is one of the path types listed in T able D–1 and path is the specification of the path in Mnemonic Style Notation (as de- scribed in T able D–2). For example, to set the primary boot path to a SCSI disk with an ID of 6.0, follow the directions in “Accessing the Boot Console Interface” earlier in this appendix, and then type the following at the prompt: Main Menu: Enter a command or a menu > path pri fwscsi.6.0 Enter
D-14 Y our system ships from the factory preset to use a monitor with a spe- cific resolution and frequency . If you replace your workstation’ s mon- itor with a different type of monitor , you must reconfigure your workstation to support the new monitor . The Monitor Command The monitor command lets you change your workstation’ s graphics configuration. This command is available in both the Information and Configuration Menus of the boot console interface, however , when you use it in the Information Menu, monitor displays only the current graphics and console information. Y ou must use monitor in the Con- figuration Menu to set a monitor type. The correct usage for this command is: monitor < graphics_path> where valid graphics_path parameters are: graphics0 Graphics device in slot 0. If using a Dual Color Graphics Card, this is the console port to the right on the card when facing the back of the workstation. graphics1 Graphics device in slot 1. If using a Dual Color Graphics Card, this is the console port to the right on the card when facing the back of the workstation. graphics2 Graphics device in slot 2. If there is a Dual Color Graphics Card in slot1, this is the console port to the left on the card when facing the back of the workstation. graphics3 This is a logical slot, and can only be reached by using a Dual Color Graphics Card in slot0. It is the console port to the left of the card when facing the back of the workstation. NOTICE: W e do not recommend using a Dual Graphics Card in slot 2, other than the CRX/HCRX. If running 9.05, you can only use a maximum of 2 graphics cards, with the exception of using the dual graphics card. If using the dual graphics card, it must be the Displaying and Setting the Monitor T ype

D-23 auto boot and auto search are variables stored in your workstation’ s non-volatile memory . (Non-volatile memory retains its contents even after power is turned off.) If you reset these flags to new value, the change takes effect the next time you reboot the workstation. T o examine the state of the auto boot and auto search flags, type the following at the prompt: Configuration Menu: Enter command > auto Enter If auto boot is set to on , your workstation automatically attempts to boot the operating system when turned on. If auto boot is set to off, your workstation enters the boot administration mode of the boot con- sole user interface. The state of the auto search flag determines how your workstation seeks a boot device during autoboot. If auto search is set to on , your workstation will search for other boot devices if the primary boot de- vice is not available. If auto search is off, your workstation will de- fault to the boot administration mode if it can’t see the primary boot device. T o change the state of the auto boot or auto search flags, type the following at the prompt: Configuration Menu: Enter command > auto boot state Enter or Configuration Menu: Enter command > auto search state Enter where state is on or off . Setting the Auto Boot and Auto Search Flags Auto Boot boots the operating system when- ever your workstation is turned on.
D-24 When fastboot is enabled (set to on ), your workstation does a quick check of the memory and skips I/O interface testing during its power- on self tests. This enables your workstation to complete its boot pro- cess quicker . The default factory setting is for fastboot to be enabled ( on). When fastboot is disabled (set to off ), more extensive memory test- ing and I/O interface testing is performed during the self tests, caus- ing the boot process to take longer . If you are experiencing difficulty in booting your workstation, set fastboot to off and reboot the system. The more extensive testing may reveal the error condition. T o display the status of fastboot , type the following at the prompt: Configuration Menu: Enter command > fastboot Enter T o disable fastboot , type the following at the prompt: Configuration Menu: Enter command > fastboot off Enter T o enable fastboot , type the following at the prompt: Configuration Menu: Enter command > fastboot on Enter It is sometimes necessary to supply the LAN station address of your workstation to other users. For example, if your workstation is to be- come a member of a cluster , the cluster administrator needs to know your LAN station address in order to add your workstation to the cluster . T o display your workstation’ s LAN station addresses, type the follow- ing at the prompt: Configuration Menu: Enter command > lanaddress Enter Displaying and Setting the Fastboot Mode The fastboot mode al- lows your workstation to boot quickly by perform- ing a less extensive check of the system’s memory . Displaying the LAN Station Addr ess The LAN station address is the label that uniquely identifies the LAN connection for your workstation at the link level (the hardware level).
