SCSI Connectors

Use the SCSI connectors to connect external SCSI devices such as DDS-for-

mat tape drives and CD-ROM drives. Consult the documentation that

accompanies each SCSI device for speciﬁc information concerning its use.

Refer to Appendix C of this manual for information about connecting SCSI

devices to your workstation.

NOTICE:

There must ALWAYS be a terminator at both ends of a SCSI bus. This

means one internal terminator and one external terminator. The Fast-Wide

Differential SCSI, Ultra-wide, Single-Ended SCSI and Narrow Single-

Ended SCSI connectors must have a terminator connected when no

external device is connected. Note that the fast, wide differential

terminators, ultra-wide, single-ended terminators and the narrow single-

ended terminators are different and not interchangeable.

WARNING:

The C200/C240/C360 workstations have an Ultra Wide-SE SCSI interface in

place of the Fast-Wide SCSI interface. These interfaces are not compatible.

Connecting a Fast-Wide device to an Ultra Wide-SE interface will not work and

may damage the device. Be sure to connect only Fast-Wide devices to a Fast-

Wide interface and Ultra Wide-SE devices to an Ultra Wide-SE interface.

TOC Button

The TOC button resets the system and transfers control from the default

device to an auxiliary device.

Power Cord Connector

Plug the workstation’s power cord into the power cord connector to provide

ac power to the system.

Using Your 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 ﬂat spots arranged in a continuous spiral track, which is read at a

constant speed. You may access ﬁles and data stored on a CD-ROM disc, but

you may not write ﬁles 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:

•

Use CD-ROM discs in a clean environment to prevent dust particles 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:

You 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 about mounting a disc.

Using Your CD-ROM Drive

Mounting and Unmounting a CD-ROM Disc

To 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. You must unmount the

CD-ROM disc before removing it from the drive.

CAUTION:

To use a CD-ROM disc as a mounted ﬁle system, you must mount the CD-ROM disc

every time you load it into the drive. You 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 condition that can 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 conﬁg-

uring your CD-ROM drive, see the System Administration Tasks manual or

online help.

The procedures in this chapter require you to log in as root. If you cannot

DDS Tape Drive and Data Cassette Descriptions

This section describes basic information needed for using your DDS tape

drive and data cassettes.

DDS Drive

Your DDS tape drive is either a DDS-DC (early or later model) or a DDS-2

tape drive with a 3.5-inch form factor, data compression, and a narrow sin-

gle-ended SCSI interface. Both drives incorporate data compression capabil-

ity and are high-capacity, high transfer-rate devices for data storage on tape.

With compression, the DDS-DC drives can store up to 4 GB of data on a 90

meter tape and the DDS-2 drive can store up to 8 GB of data on a 120 meter

tape.

Storage Capacities

The maximum storage capacities of different DDS drives with and without

data compression are shown in the following tables;

LED Warning Conditions

The following sections describe actions to take if the LEDs indicate a warn-

ing condition.

High Humidity If the LEDs display the high humidity signal, the humidity is

too high. The drive does not perform any operations until the humidity

drops.

Self-Test (Failure) If the LEDs display the self-test (failure) signal, a fault

was diagnosed during the self tests. Note the pattern of the pulses and con-

tact your local service representative.

Media Wear (Caution) Hewlett-Packard DDS drives continually monitor the

number of errors they have to correct when reading and writing to a tape to

determine tape wear and tape head cleanliness. If excessive tape wear or

dirty tape heads are suspected, the drive warns you by displaying the Media

Wear (Caution) signal on the LED indicators.

Using Your Digital Data Storage (DDS) Tape Drive

DDS Tape Drive and Data Cassette Descriptions

If the LED indicators on your DDS-format drive display the Media Wear

(Caution) condition, follow this procedure:

Check the system console for any tape error messages. A hard error during a read

or write operation may have occurred.

Clean the heads with a cleaning cassette (HP92283K) as described in “Cleaning

the Tape Heads,” later in this chapter.

Repeat the operation you performed when the Media Wear (Caution) signal dis-

played. If the Media Wear (Caution) signal still displays, then the data cassette

should be replaced.

If you are performing a backup from disk to tape, discard the data cassette and

back up your ﬁles using a new data cassette.

If you are performing a restore from tape to disk, complete the restore, back up

the ﬁles to a new data cassette, then discard the data cassette.

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 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:

•

The relative humidity in your operating environment is consistently less than

50%.

You know that the backup software you are using makes multiple passes over sec-

tions of the tape during backups or restores.

You notice that when you do backups and restores the tape stops and starts fre-

quently.

Using Your Digital Data Storage (DDS) Tape Drive

DDS Tape 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 Wear (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:

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.

Write 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.

Using Your Digital Data Storage (DDS) Tape Drive

manually.

To boot a device manually, follow these steps:

Follow the directions in “Accessing the Boot Console Interface,” in Appendix D

of this book.

NOTICE:

Your workstation automatically shuts down the operating system

before it terminates the power.

At the Main Menu prompt, type the following:

Main Menu: Enter command > search ipl

This causes your workstation to search exhaustively for bootable media.

The search command looks for bootable media on your workstation.

Boot from one of the listed devices by typing the following at the prompt:

Main Menu: Enter command > boot device

where device is the hardware path to the device, speciﬁed in mnemonic style

notation, such as sescsi.6.0.

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 some-

thing is wrong with the hardware, continue reading this chapter for more trouble-

shooting information.

To determine which SCSI IDs are currently in use on your system, use the

ioscan command in a terminal window:

At a command line prompt, enter the following at the prompt:

/usr/sbin/ioscan -f

After a few moments the ioscan utility lists all of the SCSI I/O devices it could

ﬁnd. The list appears similar to the following:

Checking the SCSI IDs

You can find out the SCSI IDs 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.

NOTICE:

Never use SCSI address 7 for any device. Address 7 is reserved for the

SCSI controller.

102

Installing Additional Memory

Take a moment to read over the following important notes about installing

memory.

•

Before you attempt to install additional memory modules in your C160/C180/

C200/C240/C360 workstation, use the procedure described in Appendix D, “The

Boot Console Interface,” to determine the current memory conﬁguration for this

workstation.

•

Read over the steps involved in installing memory modules before you begin.

You must insert memory modules in pairs of equal size.

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 ﬁlled 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.

•

When you have finished installing additional memory modules, use the Boot

Console Interface to verify that they are seen by the workstation.

126

Changing Your Workstation’s Hardware Conﬁguration

Installing Additional Memory

Perform the following steps to add memory modules to your workstation.

Remove the main tray assembly according to the directions in “Removing the

Main Tray Assembly” earlier in this appendix.

Use Figure 40 to locate the memory modules on the CPU Assembly.

Rear of Main Tray

Figure 40

C160/C180/C200/C240/C360 Memory Module Location

This workstation has 12 memory slots, labeled 0A, 0B through 5A, 5B. The

memory conﬁguration 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, ﬁrst install the pair of 64 MB memory modules in slots 0A

and 0B, then install the 16 MB modules in slots 1A and 1B.

NOTICE:

Memory slots must be ﬁlled in order from 0A and 0B through 5A and 5B.

127

Changing Your Workstation’s Hardware Conﬁguration
