Site Considerations
The HP 3000 9X8LX/RX family of computers are oce environment computer systems that
do not require special environmental controls. For this reason, no specic site preparation is
required before the system is installed. Even though the computer does not require any site
preparation, there are some site considerations and responsibilities that need to be addressed.
This chapter provides the environmental and electrical specications for the HP 3000
9X8LX/RX systems. These specications are provided to ensure the installation site is within
the limits for the system. This chapter also lists the HP organizations and services available
for site preparation for the HP 3000 9X8LX/RX family computers. It also lists and describes
the responsibilities of the customer.
Site Preparation Considerations
The HP 3000 Series 9X8LX/RX computers are primarily designed to be used in commercial
oce environments. Except for verifying the environment and AC power, very little site
preparation is required. When the computer is congured into a larger system employing
numerous peripherals and mass storage devices, you should study and become more familiar
with the contents of this chapter.
The CE or Site Preparation Specialist provides peripheral equipment power and
environmental specications contained in the HP CEO Site Preparation Handbook and the HP
3000 and HP 9000 CE Handbook .
It is the customers responsibility to ensure that the facility conditions are maintained in
accordance with the information and specications contained in this chapter.
This allows Hewlett-Packard to provide support services in accordance with the Customer
Support Services Agreement .
Physical Considerations
Since the HP 3000 9X8LX/RX is a small physical package (refer to physical specs Table 2-5 it
can be located next to a desk or placed in a dedicated computer room. Allow room for cables
and access to the front and rear of the computer cabinet.
Be sure to allow for the peripheral equipment that comes with a computer system, such as
peripheral cabinets, PowerTrust UPS, terminals, printers and other supporting equipment.
Also allow for computer materials storage.
Site Considerations

Safety Considerations
Electrical Considerations
Be sure the nal installation site has enough AC outlets to support the computer and the
peripherals located close to it. Be sure the outlets are grounded and are protected by a circuit
breaker. Be very sure the AC power available meets the electrical specications. Refer to
Table 2-2 for the exact electrical specications.

Verifier log file
In addition to the messages described above, MPE/iX Verier creates a log le named VERLOG.
This le contains a detailed history of the verication actions and status messages and a
system I/O map which shows the current status of each device and the overall system status.
VERLOG is created in the group and account from which Verier is invoked. However, a le
equation can be used to redirect it to another location.

Remote Support Modem Configuration
This section contains information for connecting specic modems to the HP 3000 9X8LX/RX
Family Computer System. This section also discusses the signal line behavior of the
Multifunction I/O modem interface to aid in conguring modems that are not listed.
General rules for conguring modems:
The modem must be set up to respond to DTR.
CTS should follow RTS.
DSR must follow OH, not DCD.
For Bell mode, the modem should disregard RTS.
Set both local and remote modems to either:
the same compression mode, OR
to NO data compression.
If problems occur connecting two modems, usually the fault is that one is enabled for
some MNP level and the other modem is set for no data compression.
If the modem sends up-modem dialog with all of the signals asserted, it is possible for the user
to be logged o immediately when a password is enabled for the Access Port. This can be
corrected by setting the modem so it does not report connection status via the data path.
Note
V.22bis/V.25bis modes are not supported on the A1703-60003 or A1703-60022
Multifunction I/O interfaces.

the modem drive circuit 111. This modem has been used in the past with the
CIO based AP card and had the same problem.
Turn o all data compression modes.
The Hayes defaults for the modem lines must be changed to the following:

Black Box V.32 Plus (Version 2.01.01)
Supported modes:
Bell
CCITT OM
CCITT AM
Supported cables:
Must use 92219Q modem cable.
Auto-dial modes: Hayes.
This modem does not work with v.22bis because it does not supply 112 and because the sense
of 111 is backwards (TRUE means low speed, FALSE means high speed). The fact that 111
is backwards is not too big a problem because the modem can be congured to ignore 111.
Change so that DTE Fallback is Disabled . This is the factory default. Not supplying 112
means that the Multifunction I/O PCA always thinks it is running at the lower speed. If you
set the speed for twice the desired speed, then it will work at the desired speed. It is best not
to use this modem with any of the CCITT bis protocols.
The Black Box defaults for all of the modem lines are incorrect and must be changed before
this modem will work properly. To do this from the front panel, go into the Change DTE
Parameters and set the following:
Responds to DTR
DSR is Normal
DCD is Normal
CTS follows RTS
This can be done with the following AT command: AT&D2&S1&C1&R
For Hayes dialing, make certain that the AT command set is enabled. It is normally good to
disable status messages to the host by using the ATQ1 command.
The current conguration can become the power-on conguration by using the AT&W
command.
This modem does not do any rate shifting. So the DTE rate and the DCE rate must be the
same.
This modem seems to work in AP mode with the protocol set to either Bell or CCITT. It does
not work with the modem protocol set to CCITT BIS. Make certain to congure the modem
to ignore 111, or congure the Access Port to set FS low. It also seems to work ne in normal
mode (i.e. under host control).

Auto-dial modes: Hayes, V.25bis.
Note
The version of the modem has a problem when dialing with V.25bis where if
the number that is dialed is busy, DSR does not drop. This same problem
causes V.25bis error indications to be improperly decoded, meaning that the
modem time-out timer must expire before we know that the attempt failed.
This also means that multiple dialing attempt will always fail. If the DSR
jumper is set so that DSR follows DCD, this problem goes away.

For V.22bis auto-answer, internal jumper DSR must be set so that DSR follows OH. The
factory default is for DSR to follow CD. This is dierent from the Support Link where the
factory default was for DSR to follow OH. There does not seem to be an AT command that
does this.

It is best to use this modem in CCITT mode because it causes the Access Port to hang up if
used in Bell mode at 1200 baud. It can be used in Bell mode at 2400 baud, or either 1200 or
2400 in CCITT mode. This modem can not be dialed with either Hayes or V.25BIS auto-dial
protocols. Table A-5 describes the switch settings.

The pin-out for the A1703-63006 cable is the same except that pin 9 on the computer end
is routed to pin 12 on the modem end and that Line functions as Rate Select (RS). This
cable is only used with the A1703-60003 SCSI/Console/LAN Multifunction I/O interface for
V.22bis/V.25bis applications.
Multifunction I/O PCA Modem Line Behavior
CCITT Mode AP protocol 0
This protocol is known as HP-UX CCITT. The card waits for RI before raising DTR. It
also raises RTS when it raises DTR. If DSR does not come up within 25 seconds, DTR goes
back down. The connection also depends on CTS and DCD. DCD can drop for up to 400ms
before the connection will drop. CTS must stay high always. Once CTS drops, the connection
starts to drop. A new connection cannot occur until DSR, DCD and CTS all drop. FS can be
programmed to either state via the CA command.
Bell Mode AP protocol 1
This is sometimes called Bell simple protocol. It raises DTR when it can accept a connection.
The connection is valid when it sees DCD. It drives RTS whatever it was when Remote is
enabled (usually, RTS is low) and does not look at DSR or CTS. When a disconnect is done,
DCD must drop before a new connection can be made (i.e. it will not raise DTR until DCD
drops).

Safety Considerations
CCITT BIS Mode AP protocol 2
This protocol is CCITT V.22bis. It requires the special cable A1703-63006 which is just like
the 92219Q cable with the exception that pin 9 on the computer end is routed to pin 12 (RS)
rather than pin 22 (RI). DTR is raised whenever a connection is allowed. RTS follows DSR. A
connection is established when DSR is high. CTS can drop for an indenite amount of time
without dropping the connection. The card will not send data to the modem when CTS is
low. DCD can drop for up to 400ms before the connection is dropped. Once the connection
is dropped, DSR, DCD and CTS must all go low before a new connection can be made. RS
controls what speed the card sends to the modem. If RS is high, the programmed baud rate is
used. If RS is low, half of the programmed baud rate is used. If you use the 92219Q cable, the
baud rate will most certainly be half the programmed baud rate, since RI will almost always
be down. FS can be programmed to either state via the CA command.
