Use the Power switch to power the system unit on and off.
CAUTION: Do not turn off the power to your workstation
without first performing the recommended
shutdown procedure. If you do not shut down
your workstation properly, you can damage the
programs and data on your disk.
Using the proper shutdown method for your
workstation and operating system also ensures
that your system produces the proper diagnostic
and self test messages, and broadcasts a warning message to remote terminals that it is about
to shutdown.
1-7
If you are using HP-UX 9.05, the recommended method of shutting
down your workstation is using the software command /etc/shutdown.
If you are using HP-UX 10.0 or later, follow the instructions in Using
Your HP Workstation to shut down your workstation.
System Power LED
The Power Light Emitting Diode (LED) is located on the left side of
the front panel. It lights when the system unit power is on and flashes
until the OS is booted. Once the OS is booted, the LED remains on
without flashing.

802.3 Network Connectors
Your workstation has built-in ThickNet LAN AUI and TP (Twisted
Pair) connectors for the 802.3 (ETHERNET) network. Connections to
ThinLAN networks require an external transceiver. Your workstation
will automatically select the correct network setting.
RS-232C Serial Input/Output Connector
You can attach a variety of pointing devices (such as a mouse or
trackball), or peripheral devices to the RS-232C Serial Input/Output
(SIO) ports on the J200 workstation. Peripheral devices include printers, plotters, modems, and scanners. Consult the documentation that
accompanies each pointing or peripheral device for specific information concerning its use.
The SIO ports are programmable. You can set functions such as bit
rate, character length, parity, and stop bits. The SIO Ports are used as
an interface for serial asynchronous devices to the CPU. The ports
operate at up to a 19.2 K baud rate.
Table 1–2 shows the SIO connector pin listings. The serial connectors
are 9-pin D-sub connectors. Signal names are those specified in the

Before using your monitor, you should become familiar with its controls, connectors, and indicators. For information on these controls
and indicators and on using your monitor, see the documentation that
came with it.
1-17
Keyboards
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 compatible 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 difference in the keys and their output codes. For example, some keys on
one keyboard may not exist on the other keyboard. These keys generate 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 example), 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). To
do this, it is necessary to know which keys are equivalent on the two
keyboards. Table 1–3 compares the equivalent keys of the ITF and
PS/2 keyboards.
NOTICE:

Keyboard keys not mentioned in Table 1–3 are
the same on both keyboards.

Operating
System
Overview
Your 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 interface, 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 reference pages (man pages).
Please refer to the “Instant Ignition System Configuration Information” 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 Tasks HP 9000 Series 700 Computers to reconfigure
your kernel.
If you have any questions about Instant Ignition, refer to Using Your
HP Workstation for more information.

CD-ROM Drive
and CD-ROM
Media Descriptions
This section describes basic information needed for using the CDROM drive and CD-ROM discs.
CD-ROM Drive
The CD-ROM drive is a random access read-only mass storage device that uses removable CD-ROM discs. The drive supports the ISO
9660 and High Sierra format standards. You 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 Features
Figure 6–1 and Table 6–1 describe the operating controls and features
of the CD-ROM drive.

You can plug mini-headphones with a 3.5 mm diameter miniature stereo plug into this jack.
Volume Control
Use the volume control to adjust the audio output volume to the headphone jack.
Busy Indicator
The Busy Indicator lights during a data access operation and blinks during a data transfer. The indicator
blinks initially and then stays lit when there is one of
the following:
A defective disc
A disc insertion error
(for example, an upside-down disc)
No disc present
Eject Button
Press the Eject Button to open the Disc Tray and insert or remove a disc. When the drive is in use, you
must press the eject button for more than one second
to open the Disc Tray.
Emergency Eject
By removing the Phillips type screw and inserting the
end of a paper clip, you can open the Disc Tray when
the workstation does not have power.
Disc Tray
The disc tray holds the CD-ROM disc. This style of
CD-ROM drive does not use a disc caddy. The disc
tray does not open if the workstation power is off.
NOTICE:
3-4
The Volume Control, Headphone Jack, and Audio Jack
features of the CD-ROM drive are supported through
applications only.
CD-ROM Media
CD-ROM discs are identical to audio compact
discs (CDs), except that
they store computer
data.
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. You may access files and data stored on a CDROM disc, but you may not write files or data to a CD-ROM disc.
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.

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 CDROM drive is set to the factory default of SCSI ID 2, using the device
file /dev/dsk/c201d2s0. (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 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 CD-ROM drive to a value other
than 2, 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 Administration Tasks manual for information on how to create a
device file.
3-14
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 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 Administration Tasks 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.
SAM (System Administration Manager) is a utility that performs system
administration tasks using a windows graphical

DDS Tape Drive
and Data Cassette
Descriptions
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 differs for each drive. For the purposes of this discussion, 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
Your 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 format standard for storing computer data, and incorporates a data compression 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.

LEDs – DDS-DC Drive
This section describes the LED codes that are displayed.
LEDs (light emitting
diodes) indicate different
activities or problems
that occur with your
workstation hardware
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. Table 5–1 lists the LED
codes and their meanings.

LED Warning 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-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 contact 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.
If the LED indicators on your DDS-format drive display the Media
Wear (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 the “Cleaning the Tape Heads” section, later in this
chapter.
3.
Repeat the operation you performed when the Media Wear (Caution) signal displayed. If the Media Wear (Caution) signal still
displays, then the data cassette should be replaced.
4-5
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 Tape Light and the Clean/
Attention Light. The Tape Light flashes green to show activity (loading, 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.

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 sections of the tape during backups or restores.
You notice that when you do backups and restores the tape stops
and starts frequently.
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:
1.
Insert the cleaning cassette into the drive. The tape automatically
loads the cassette and cleans the heads. At the end of the cleaning cycle, the drive ejects the cassette.
2.
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.
4-7
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 Tab on a Data Cassette
You 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.
Figure 5–2. Setting the Write-Protect Tab on a DDS Tape
To protect information on a data cassette from being overwritten, set
the write-protect tab to the write-protect position, as shown in
Figure 5–2.
NOTICE:
4-8
The write-protect tab should always be in the
write position for transferring data to a cassette.
Operating the
DDS Tape Drive
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.
Turn on power to the tape drive.
2.
Insert the data cassette into the drive, as shown in Figure 5–3.
Eject Button
Figure 5–3. Loading a Data Cassette
4-9
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 flashing, the drive has loaded the data cassette.
4.
To 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. Ten to twenty seconds later, the data cassette slides partway out of the drive. Remove the cassette from
the drive.
Verifying the DDS Tape Drive Operation
To verify that your workstation can communicate with the DDS-format 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:

4-11
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.
Using Device Files
Your 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 pathname of your device file in the examples that follow. Refer to the System Administration Tasks 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 HPUX 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 and Device File Information for HP-UX
10.0 or Later” in Chapter 1 of this book.
Device Files — No Data Compression
Your 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.
4-12
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.
The tar (tape file archiver) command saves files
to a data cassette, restores files from a data
cassette, or lists files on
a data cassette.
Archiving Data in Compressed and Noncompressed Mode
This section describes how to transfer data to and from a DDS- format data cassette (saving and restoring) using the HP-UX tar command 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 rewind the data cassette. To use data compression, substitute
/dev/rmt/3hc for /dev/rmt/3m. If you named your device files differently, substitute the correct file name where appropriate.
4-13
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 Terminal Control on the Front Panel of your
Workspace.
Terminal 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 containing files that you want to write to the tape. To use the data compression mode, substitute /dev/rmt/3hc for /dev/rmt/3m.
4-14
Restoring Files from a Data Cassette to Your 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 Terminal Control on the Front Panel of your
Workspace.
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 containing files that you want to restore from the tape. If pathname is
not specified, everything on the data cassette is restored. To use
the data compression mode, substitute /dev/rmt/3hc for /dev/
rmt/3m.
4-15
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 Terminal Control on the Front Panel of your
Workspace.
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
To use the data compression mode, substitute /dev/rmt/3hc for
/dev/rmt/3m.
4-16
Further Command Information
The man utility looks up
man pages on the system.
For additional information on using tar and a complete list of the
command arguments, refer to the tar man page by typing the following:
man tar
Enter
You may also communicate with the tape drive with the cpio, ftio,
mt, and fbackup commands. For more information on these commands, enter the following in a terminal window:
man command
Enter
Media Interchangeability Restrictions
If you interchange media between DDS-format tape drives, the following 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 compression. With data compression, these drives can get 2 GB and
can read or write to 90-meter cassettes.
Troubleshooting
If you have trouble with any of these procedures for using your DDS
tape drive, see Chapter 6 of this book, “Solving Problems.”

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/c201d0s0. (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 HPUX 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 Administration Tasks manual for information on how to create a device
file.

Dealing with a
Boot Failure
If your usual boot device (typically a disk) is not responding as it
should, you must try to boot from the disk (or another boot device) by
selecting it manually.
To boot a device manually, follow these steps:
1.
Follow the directions in “Accessing the Boot Console Interface,”
in Appendix D of this book.
NOTICE:
2.
Your workstation automatically shuts down the
operating system before it terminates the power.
At the Main Menu prompt, type the following:
Main Menu: Enter a command or a menu > search ipl
The search command
looks for bootable media
on your workstation.
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 hardware path to the device, specified in
mnemonic style notation, such as scsi.5.0.
4.
6-10
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.
Memory
Failures
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. You can use
the command memrpt with the detail switch to obtain information
about the Memory Page Deallocation Table (PDT) as well as single
bit errors logged by the system.
# /usr/sbin/sysdiag
DUI >logtool
Enter
Enter
LOGTOOL> memrpt detail
NOTICE:
Enter
You must be logged in as superuser to use the
memrpt command.
To 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:

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 heading. 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. Address 7 is reserved for the SCSI controller.
B-5
Opening the
System Unit
B-6
Perform the following steps to open the system unit:
1.

Adding a
Hard Drive
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.
Your 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 second 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.

This appendix provides information about connecting Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) devices to an HP 9000 J Class workstation.
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:
C-2
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.
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 floppy disk drives, 4-mm DDSformat tape drives, CD-ROM drives, and Winchester 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. Table C–1 shows
the specification differences between these SCSI buses, and Table
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.

Connectors and Terminator
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 device, 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
You are limited to the number of same-type SCSI devices per system.
Before adding another SCSI device, determine if the system can support 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. Table C–3 shows configuration constraints for
each single-ended standard SCSI-2 device type. If the system has internal hard disk drives or a floppy disk drive, you must count them as
SCSI-2 devices.

Determining
SCSI Bus
Length
This section helps you to determine the total length of the single-ended 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 devices, and SCSI-2 interconnect cables) using Table 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.
C-9
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 Total 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). If the number you write for Total SCSI-2
Bus Length is greater than 6 meters (19.6 feet),
try configuring your installation with shorter
cables.
If you have problems, call your designated service representative.

length for the fast, wide SCSI-3 bus on your system using Table C–6:
1.
List all of your internal SCSI-3 devices in the first column.
2.
In the second column, write the lengths of the internal SCSI-3
bus that correspond to your devices.
3.
In the third column, write down the lengths of the SCSI-3 interconnect cables you are using for your installation. (Cable lengths
are listed in subsection “Cables” in the “SCSI Restrictions” section.)
4.
Add up all of the numbers in the second column and write that
number on the subtotal line at the bottom of the column. Do the
same for the third column.
5.
Add the subtotals together and write the total in the Total SCSI-3
Bus Length box.
NOTICE:
The total length of the SCSI-3 bus must not exceed 25 meters (82 feet). If the number you
write for Total SCSI-2 Bus Length is greater
than 25 meters (82 feet), try configuring your
installation with shorter cables.
If you have problems, call your designated service representative.

Assigning SCSI
Device IDs
Before assigning a SCSI device ID to your drive, you need to check
your existing SCSI device IDs. To determine which SCSI device IDs
are available for your device, use the ioscan command in a terminal
window:
1.
Click on the Terminal Control on the Front Panel of your
Workspace.
Terminal Control
A terminal window opens.
2.
Move the mouse cursor into the terminal window and singleclick the left mouse button.
3.
If you are using HP-UX 9.05, enter the following at the prompt:
/etc/ioscan –d scsi
Enter
After a few moments the ioscan utility lists all of the SCSI I/O
devices it could find. The list should appear similar to the following:
H/W Path

C-14
If you are using HP-UX 10.0 or later, enter the following at the
prompt:
/usr/sbin/ioscan –f
Enter
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:

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 heading. 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. To check what SCSI device IDs are available
and assign an ID to your device, follow these instructions which use
Table C–7:
1.
Write in the SCSI device ID of any internal drives in Table C–7.
2.
Write 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:
C-16
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.
CAUTION: Do not use SCSI device ID 7 for any device
except the system card.

CAUTION: Do not use SCSI device ID 7 for any device. It
is reserved for the built-in SCSI bus controller.
C-19
Fast, Wide SCSI IDs
Before assigning a SCSI device ID to your drive, you need to check
your SCSI device IDs. To check which SCSI device IDs are available
and assign an ID to your device, follow these instructions which use
Table C–8:
1.
Write in the type of internal drives currently connected to your
system under the heading “Fast, Wide SCSI Device Drives” and
each drive’s SCSI device ID under the heading “Device ID Number.”
2.
Add your new drive to the table.
3.
Check to see what SCSI device IDs are not used. You may use
ID numbers 0 through 6 and 8 through 15 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, assign a new fast, wide SCSI device
ID to your drive. Refer to the drive’s installation documentation
for information on changing the device ID.

Accessing the
Boot Console
Interface
To 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.
Follow your normal shutdown procedure. For more information
on shutting down your workstation, see Using your HP 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.
3.
Press a key. You will then see the message:
Boot terminated
The Main Menu of the boot console appears.
D-8
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 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 Table 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 Console Interface” earlier in this appendix, and then type the following 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.
D-9
•
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 appendix, and then type the following at the prompt:
Main Menu: Enter a command or a menu > boot device
Enter
You are prompted:
Interact with ISL (Y or N) >
y
Enter
Answering yes (y) causes the ISL to be loaded from the specified 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.
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)
Enter
(for 10.0 or
later)
ISL> /stand/vmunix /stand/vmunix.prev
•
D-10
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.
Searching for
Bootable Media
To 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:
•
To hold the display temporarily, press
•
To continue the display, press
•
To halt the search, press any key
Ctrl
Ctrl
S
Q
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.
To search for devices of just one type that actually 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 device_type
Enter

Displaying and
Setting the
Monitor Type
Your system ships from the factory preset to use a monitor with a specific resolution and frequency. If you replace your workstation’s monitor 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. You must use monitor in the Configuration 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:
D-14
We 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
only card in the system and be physically located
in slot 0.
The monitor command lets you change your workstation’s graphics
configuration before you replace your monitor. For information about
changing the configuration after you replace your monitor, go to the
section “Changing Your Monitor Type” in Appendix B of this book.
Displaying the Current Monitor Configuration
To display the current monitor configuration for your system from the
Configuration Menu of the boot console interface, follow the directions in “Accessing the Boot Console Interface” earlier in this appendix. Once you are in the Boot Console Interface Main Menu, type:
Main Menu: Enter a command or a menu > configuration
Enter
This places you in the Configuration Menu. From here type:
Configuration Menu: Enter command > monitor
Enter
The screen displays a list of the current monitors configured for your
workstation.

Displaying the
Status of the
EISA Slots
The eisa command lets you identify all EISA cards currently installed
on your workstation by showing you the current status of your
workstation’s four EISA slots. It is available only in the Information
Menu.
To use the eisa command, from the Information Menu of the boot
console interface, type:
Information Menu: Enter command > eisa
Enter
The following table appears:

itself.
D-22
Setting the
Auto Boot and
Auto Search
Flags
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.
Auto Boot boots the
operating system whenever your workstation is
turned on.
To 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 console 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 device is not available. If auto search is off, your workstation will default to the boot administration mode if it can’t see the primary boot
device.
To 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.
D-23
Displaying and
Setting the
Fastboot Mode
When fastboot is enabled (set to on), your workstation does a quick
check of the memory and skips I/O interface testing during its poweron self tests. This enables your workstation to complete its boot process quicker. The default factory setting is for fastboot to be enabled
(on).
The fastboot mode allows your workstation to
boot quickly by performing a less extensive
check of the system’s
memory.
When fastboot is disabled (set to off), more extensive memory testing and I/O interface testing is performed during the self tests, causing 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.
To display the status of fastboot, type the following at the prompt:
Configuration Menu: Enter command > fastboot
Enter
To disable fastboot, type the following at the prompt:
Configuration Menu: Enter command > fastboot off
Enter
To enable fastboot, type the following at the prompt:
Configuration Menu: Enter command > fastboot on
Enter
Displaying the
LAN Station
Address
It is sometimes necessary to supply the LAN station address of your
workstation to other users. For example, if your workstation is to become a member of a cluster, the cluster administrator needs to know
your LAN station address in order to add your workstation to the
cluster.
The LAN station
address is the label that
uniquely identifies the
LAN connection for your
workstation at the link
level (the hardware
level).
To display your workstation’s LAN station addresses, type the following at the prompt:
D-24
Configuration Menu: Enter command > lanaddress
Enter
The LAN station address is displayed as a twelve-digit number in
hexadecimal notation, similar to the following:
LAN Station Addresses:
123456–789abc
The address is for the system’s built-in LAN.
Displaying
System
Information
The all command allows you to display the system’s processor revision and speed, cache size, memory size, flag settings, and the boot
and console paths. To display system information, from the Information Menu type the following at the prompt:
Information Menu: Enter command > all
Enter
This information is paged to allow you to view it as necessary.
Displaying PIM
Information
The pim command allows you to display the most recent PIM information for the specified fault type. To display PIM information for
a specific fault, from the Service Menu type the following at the
prompt:
Service Menu: Enter command > pim processor_number
Enter
You can use pim in the following ways:
pim – gives all processors/all fault types
pim processor_number – HPMC information on given processor
pim processor_number fault_type – fault type information on given
processor
