Now you are ready to install the console terminal.

5 Install the Console Terminal

You will use the console terminal to communicate with your system.

1. Unpack the terminal and its documentation.

2. Use the instructions in the terminal installation guide to connect the various parts of the terminal.

3. Turn on the terminal.

The terminal performs a self-test. The documentation for the terminal describes a successful self-test and error messages you receive if the terminal is not operating properly.


Once the terminal passes its self-test, you are ready to perform setup operations.

5.1 Perform Setup Operations

Setup instructions for terminals vary according to model or according to which read-only memory (ROM) is installed in the terminal. Be sure to:

• Read the documentation provided with your terminal.

• Follow the setup instructions for your terminal.

NOTE:

A new terminal from Digital has the baud rate set to 9600. If your terminal is new and you want to use that rate, you can skip the baud rate setup instructions.

If you have a dual-host system, you can use one terminal with dual sessions instead of two terminals. See your terminal documentation for instructions.

Once you test the terminal and perform setup operations, you are ready to connect the terminal to your system.

5.2 Connect the Terminal to the System

You will attach one end of a cable to the console module and the other end of the cable to a communication port in the back of the terminal.

• The console module is on the front of the system and covers backplane slots 1 through 5.

• The port on the back of the terminal varies with the type of terminal.

Refer to the instructions that follow to connect a VT300-series or VT400series terminal to a 120-volt or 240-volt system.

1. Turn off the terminal.

2. Find the console terminal cable. It is labeled 17–01364–02 and has a

DEC–423 modular plug on each end.

3. Connect the terminal cable to the DEC–423 modular jack labeled 1 on the rear of the terminal, according to the instructions in your terminal installation guide.


4. Feed the other end of the cable under the system from the back or side.

Then draw up the cable and insert it into the DEC–423 modular jack shown in Figure 5.

7.1 Connecting Terminals and Serial Printers

You can connect up to 16 terminals and/or serial printers for each CXA16 or

CXB16 module installed in your system. If your site was prepared properly, the lines for the additional terminals and printers are clearly labeled and terminate near your system.

• You do not connect the terminals and printers directly to the system, but to a cable concentrator (H3104) that has connections for up to eight terminals and printers.

• You then connect the cable concentrator to the system with a BC16D cable.

For each CXA16 or CXB16 module, two H3104 cable concentrators and two

BC16D cables are shipped with your system.

To connect additional terminals and printers:

1. Find the H3104 cable concentrator and BC16D cable.

2. Feed one end of the BC16D cable under the system from the back or side and insert it into the connector as shown in Figure 10.


• If you are connecting two BC16D cables, connect the first to the connector labeled 8–15 on the module cover.

• If you are connecting one BC16D cable, connect that cable to the connector labeled 0–7.

Lock the connector in place by using the bail latches.

7.5.4 Setting Up Terminal Lines

Before you can use the DFA01 modem, you must set up the operating system software to recognize the modem.

Set up the operating system software to support the following four terminal lines for the modem.

• Modem A — primary channel

• Modem A — on-line control channel (OLC)

• Modem B — primary channel

• Modem B — on-line control channel (OLC)

Refer to the operating system documentation to determine how to make permanent terminal line definitions, so that every time the system is turned on the terminal lines are configured for proper operation.

You may need to define the following terminal line characteristics.

• Modem control — to support full EIA modem control.

• Speed, parity, and data bits — terminal lines should be set to 2400 baud, parity disabled, and 8 data bits to coincide with the modem power-up defaults.

• Dial up — to support dial-up operation.

• Hang up — to disable automatic hang up of the lines when logging out or when completing a dialog with the modem using terminal emulation software.

With automatic hang up disabled, you can modify the modem operating parameters (from application software or when using a terminal emulator). You can then exit the program without the modem resetting those parameters to power-up default values.

6. Insert the plug end of the cable into your wall outlet or other power source.

You are now ready to turn on your system and select a language.

13 Turn On the System and Select a Language

The language you select controls only the language of the console program which is part of the firmware in the CPU. That firmware lets you give commands to the system and also generates error messages.

NOTE:

For a dual-host system: You must turn on each host separately. If you want a language other than English (United States/Canada), you must select a language for each host.

Turn on the system(s) and select a language for each as follows.


1. Turn on your console terminal and wait until it performs its self-tests successfully.

2. If a B400X or R400X expander is connected to your system, turn on the expander.

The AC indicator on the expander power supply should glow orange.

3. Turn on your system by setting the Power switch to on (1).

The AC Present indicator, next to that switch, should glow orange.

NOTE:

If your system contains a B400X or R400X expander linked by a Power Control Bus cable, turning on the system turns on the expander as well.

Within a few moments a language selection menu should appear on your console terminal as shown in Figure 46.

NOTE:

If you are using an older terminal that does not support multiple languages, the language selection menu does not appear and the system defaults to English (United States/Canada).

1. Push gently at the top right of the upper door and the bottom right of the lower door.

2. Turn the key to the middle position (both doors locked) or to the top position (upper door unlocked).

15 After Installation

Digital strongly recommends that you run the diagnostic software for your system before you install system software or start factory-installed software the first time. The diagnostics:

• Verify the system configuration.

• Check to see if each device is working properly.


The diagnostic software is on a tape cartridge labeled MV DIAG CUST

TK50. Your system Troubleshooting and Diagnostics manual tells you how to run the diagnostic software.

You should now read your system Operation manual to learn how to use the system. You must know how to operate the system controls and the ISE or tape drive before you install system software or run diagnostic software.

If you have factory-installed software on your system, see Appendix A for the startup procedure. Otherwise, install the software that you ordered with your system.

NOTE:

Systems with VMS factory-installed software have a yellow sticker on the front panel of the ISE containing that software.


Appendix A

Starting and Modifying VMS

Factory-Installed Software

This appendix tells you how to start and modify VMS factory-installed software (FIS), which is on your system disk if you ordered one or more

ISEs.

FIS must be modified to accommodate customized passwords and system environment particulars. You make the modifications during a startup procedure that is executed when you start FIS the first time.

The requirements for modifying FIS depend on how your system will be used. For example, your system can be configured as a:

• Standalone system

• Dual-host system

• Simple VAXcluster network

• System in a more complex VAXcluster network with distributed resource sharing and sophisticated disk management

CAUTION: If you want to modify FIS to obtain a dual-host or VAXcluster system, you should have a good understanding of DSSI architecture and

VAXcluster software operation. If you do not have that understanding, you should read the manuals listed in Section A.1 or call your Digital service representative.

A.1 Pre-Startup Requirements

Before you begin the startup procedure, you should:

1. Determine how your system will be configured.

2. Read through the startup procedure to make sure you have the correct information to enter for your configuration.

Starting and Modifying VMS Factory-Installed Software A–1

3. If your system will be part of a cluster or network, ask your network coordinator or system administrator for your system:

DECnet node name

DECnet node address

Cluster group number

Cluster password

4. If you are not familiar with networking and clustering, examine the following manuals.

VMS VAXcluster Manual

Guide to DECnet–VAX Networking

A.2 Startup Procedure

If you have a dual-host system, you can start with either host.

1. Enter the console mode.

a. Set the Power switch to off (0).

b. Set the Break Enable/Disable switch to enable (up).

c. Set the Power switch to on (1).

Wait for your system to complete its self-tests and display the console prompt (

>>>

).

2. Make sure the system disk is on line and is not write-protected.

• The Run/Ready button should be in (lit).

• The Write-Protect button should be out (not lit).

3. If your system will be configured as a cluster with a nonzero allocation class, see your system Operation manual for information on how to program parameters for ISEs.

4. Define the system disk as the default boot device.

If the ISE with the FIS is in your system:

>>> SET BOOT DIA0

Return

If the ISE with the FIS is in an expander connected to Bus 1 (for example, an R400X expander):

A–2 VAX 4000 Model 300 Installation

>>> SET BOOT DIB0 Return

5. Boot the FIS.

In a VAXcluster network, queues for printer and batch processing operations can be configured to work on other systems in the cluster. See your network coordinator for details of queues that are available in your network. If you are setting up a new network, see the VMS VAXcluster

Manual for a discussion on setting up remote printer and batch processing queues.

You can use the NETCONFIG.COM command procedure to include your system in a network, provided you have the appropriate software licenses and PAKs. See the VMS VAXcluster Manual, the Guide to DECnet–VAX

Networking, and the VMS Networking Manual for more information.

A.2.3 Modifying FIS for a Complex Network or Dual-Host

System

In a complex network or dual-host system you may want to enter the disk allocation class and quorum disk information for the network. That information lets disks be shared on a selective basis between some systems on the network. Quorum disk information also allows more rigorous definition of cluster operations during the removal of systems from the network.

In addition, queues for printer and batch processing operations can be set up, allowing work to be executed on other systems in the network.


See the VMS VAXcluster Manual, the Guide to DECnet–VAX Networking, and the VMS Networking Manual for information on setting up systems as members of complex networks and setting up remote printer and batch processing queues.

A.2.3.1 Configuring for Dual-Host Systems

The VMS Installation and Operations manual tells you how to configure a dual-host system for cluster operation. You can set up the system for operation as a:

• Pair of boot servers for a new local area cluster to which you intend to add satellites

• Two-node cluster to which you do not intend to add satellites

• Pair of boot servers that you want to add to an existing cluster

NOTE: You must assign the same allocation class to both systems and to the

ISEs. The allocation class must be different from that of other systems and hierarchical storage controllers (HSCs) in a cluster. Refer to your system

Operation manual for information on setting parameters for ISEs.

The following software licenses are required to configure a dual-host system.

Host A

VMS

VAXcluster

DECnet full-function

Host B

VMS

VAXcluster

DECnet end-node

A.2.3.2 Checking Your Modification Work

You can use two commands to check your work after you modify FIS for a dual-host system.

• Use SHOW DEVICE D to list the ISEs. Make sure the number of ISEs listed matches the number in your dual-host system.

Too many ISEs indicates an incorrect allocation class setting for an

ISE.

Too few ISEs indicates an incorrect unit number for an ISE.

• Use SHOW DEVICE DI/FULL to check that the alternate host name for your dual-host system is displayed.
