InfoServer 1000 System Overview
1.1 Introduction
The InfoServer 1000 system is a dedicated SCSI storage server that quickly
and efficiently transfers data between SCSI devices connected to the server and
remote network client systems. It provides a low-cost data sharing capability
that is flexible and easy to manage.
The InfoServer 1000 system can support many diverse operating systems and
applications. For example, OpenVMS, ULTRIX, MS-DOS, Macintosh, and
other client systems can share software distribution and documentation on
compact discs connected to the server. Most VAX systems can use the server
to load their bootstrap program, and then perfonn an OpenVMS operating
system installation from a compact disc connected to the server.
The InfoServer 1000 is a small, modular black box server. When the server is
attached through SCSI cabling to specific storage devices, it offers the devices
to clients on the network. Thus, the clients can share access requests to the
devices. Designed with an industry-standard 5.25-inch fonn factor, it can
either sit on a table top daisy-chained to devices, be moun~d into an InfoTower
enclosure, or be integrated into other 5.25-inch storage bays like StorageWorks
System Building Blocks (SBBs).

1.2 System Highlights
Your InfoServer 1000 system has many special features.
•
Memory-The system comes with 4 MB of internal random access memory
(RAM).
1-8
•
ThinWire Ethernet or standard Ethernet connectability-You can connect
the InfoServer 1000 system to ThinWire or standard Ethernet workgroups
and networks, but not to more than one type at the same time. InfoServer
SW1000 only comes with the ThinWire Ethernet connection.
•
Internal writeable configuration storage-The InfoServer 1000 system
includes internal memory that stores server configuration infonnation.
•
Self-sensing power supply-The external power supply (standalone
configuration) accepts power inputs in the ranges of 100 Vac to 120 Vac and
200 Vac to 240 Vac, at 50 or 60 Hz. A selection switch is not needed.
The InfoTower power supply configuration is switch selectable.
•
Communication ports-A single DEC423 asynchronous port (with MMJ
connector for VT-series terminals) is a standard provision. You can use
this port to connect a terminal to the server to establish a local server
management session. (Refer to Section 2.3.4 and the InfoSeroer System
Operations Guide for more information.) This port is preset to run at 9600
baud. Any terminal connected to this port must initially be set 'at 9600
baud.
•
SCSI connectability-The Small Computer Systems Interconnect II
(SCSI-II) is an industry standard for connecting mass storage,devices.
•
Add-on storage devices-External standalone expansion peripherals may
be purchased for the standalone configuration to provide added storage
capability.
These external peripherals must be qualified by Digital to meet the system
requirements. Table 1-1 is a partial list of supported devices. Refer to the
InfoServer Software, Software Product Description (SPD 33.20.07) for a
complete list of supported devices. You can connect up to seven (7) external
drives to the InfoServer 1000, provided that you observe SCSI bus length
guidelines.
You can also purchase an InfoTower enclosure that houses and connects the
InfoServer 1000 along with up to seven (7) internal drives. The InfoTower
provides the benefits of less power consumption (one power supply for all
drives), reduced desktop space, and elimination of cable clutter.
InfoServer 1000 System Overview

InfoServer 1000 System Overview
1.4 Console Terminal
Design of the InfoServer 1000 system requires a minimum amount of system
management.. You normally issue server commands by using a LAT terminal
session created to the InfoServer 1000 system from a terminal server. In
the rare event that the InfoServer 1000 has problems communicating with
client systems, you can connect a terminal to the MMJ port on the back of the
enclosure (refer to Section 2.3.4) and follow the instructions in Chapter 8 to
troubleshoot the problem. The recommended console terminal is a VT300 or
VT400 series tenninal.
1.5 Front Panel Indicators
The InfoServer 1000 has six front panel indicators. They show the status
of various system conditions. Figure 1-7 shows the indicator locations and
names. A list of each indicator and its function follows. Familiarize yourself

2.3.4 Connecting a Console Terminal
__ •
I
You do not need a locally connected terminal for normal InfoServer 1000
operation. However, Digital advises that you connect a local terminal as part
of this installation procedure, to ensure that the InfoServer 1000 system is
operating properly at the time of initial setup.
The recommended console terminal is a VT300 or VT400 series terminal.
When you connect the terminal cable to the MMJ port on the rear of the
terminal, the port must be set for DEC423 operation. Refer to your terminal
documentation for details.
To connect a terminal to the server, follow these steps:
1. Ensure that the IT2J power switch on the terminal is off (0).
2. Connect the terminal cable supplied with the system to the :MMJ port on
the rear panel of the InfoServer 1000 as shown in Figure 2-6.
3. Connect the other end of the console cable to the communications port on
the terminal.
4. The terminal must be set at 9600 baud, with 8 bits, and no parity. Refer
to your terminal documentation if you need information on setting up your
terminal.
During normal operation, you can control the server through a LAT terminal
server session (if terminal servers are available on your network). If terminal
server access is not available, or if client systems have trouble accessing server
services, then a locally connected terminal is needed to manage the server or
to diagnose server problems. For more information, refer to the InfoServer
System Operations Guide.

Some expansion peripherals accept power inputs in the ranges of 100
Vac to 120 Vac and 200 Vac to 240 Vac, at 50 or 60 Hz. Within these
limits the power supply is self-sensing, and a voltage selection switch is
not necessary.
•
Tum on all expansion peripherals before you tum on your InfoServer 1000.
This step ensures that the device in each expansion peripheral is ready for
use, and that the system firmware includes the device in its configuration.
6.3 Unpacking an Expansion Peripheral
SCSI expansion peripherals in external, standalone enclosures usually come
with the following accessories:
•
One 50-pin to 50-pin cable (PN BCl9J-1E). Use this cable to connect the
expansion peripheral to other expansion peripherals.
•
One 68-pin to 50-pin cable (PN BC56H-03). This cable is not used on the
InfoServer 1000.
•
One 50-pin SCSI terminator.
•
One power cord.
Before you set up your expansion peripheral, ensure that you have all these
parts. Check the contents of the expansion peripheral against the shipping list.

6.4 Connecting One Expansion Peripheral
To connect a single expansion peripheral to your InfoServer 1000, follow these
steps:
1. Tum system power off.
2. Tum the expansion peripheral so that the back is facing you.
3. Set the SCSI ID number.
Each device nonnally ships with the SCSI ID number set to 0 if the ID is
switch selectable. However, if the SCSI ID is jumper selectable, the SCSI
ID is usually set to 7. Refer to the information provided with the expansion
peripheral to verify this setting.
The standalone drive has a rear-panel push button that spins a wheel and
advances a number. To set the device ID number, press the button until
the desired number appears.
4. Connect the BC09D-01S0-pin expansion peripheral cable as follows:
Connect the high-density 50-pin end of the cable to the SCSI port on the
rear of the InfoServer 1000.
Connect the opposite 50-pin end of the cable to the top SCSI port on the
rear of the expansion peripheral. Snap the spring lock loops in place.
5. Connect a 50-pin SCSI terminator to the lower port on the expansion
peripheral.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ CAUTION _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __
Check the voltage requirement of the expansion peripheral before
applying power.
6. Connect the power cord to the power receptacle on the expansion
peripheral, then plug the other end into a grounded power outlet.
Figure 6-1 shows how to connect one CD-ROM expansion peripheral to the
InfoServer 1000. You can stack the InfoServer 1000 on top of the expansion
peripheral or place the two enclosures side by side.

6.5 Connecting Two Expansion Peripherals
A second expansion peripheral can be added later to link the two expansion
peripherals together in series. You can stack expansion peripherals or place
them side by side.
________________________ Note ________________________
If you have more than one of the same type of device attached to your
system, you must change the SCSI ID on the second device to an open
ID number on the SCSI bus (refer to Appendix C).
To link two expansion peripherals, follow these steps:
1. Ensure that the ITQ] on/off switches on all expansion peripherals are set to
off (0), then remove power from the InfoServer 1000.
2.
Remove the 50-pin SCSI terminator on the first expansion peripheral.
Store the terminator for future use.
3. Connect one end of the BC19J-1E 50-pin to 50-pin connector cable to the
upper connector on the second expansion peripheral.
4. Connect the other end of the cable to the lower connector on the first
expansion peripheral.
5. Attach a 50-pin terminator to the unused SCSI port on the second
expansion peripheral.
6. Connect the power cord of the second expansion peripheral to its power
receptacle, then plug the other end into a grounded power outlet. Each
expansion peripheral needs its own source of power.

Connecting to a Network
7.1 Introduction
This chapter explains how to:
•
Connect the InfoServer 1000 to a ThinWire Ethernet or standard Ethernet
network.
•
Test the system with a T-connector or loopback connector.
•
Connect several systems together to create a simple ThinWire Ethernet
workgroup.
To form a workgroup, connect the systems together with cables and connectors.
Connecting a system to a ThinWire Ethernet network or a standard Ethernet
network takes only a few minutes for an experienced user and slightly longer
for a new user.
The illustrations in this chapter show Ethernet connections to the standalone
InfoServer 1000. The connections are identical when working with the
InfoServer 1000 mounted in an InfoTower cabinet or an InfoServer SWIOOO.
If you are connecting your InfoServer 1000 or InfoServer SW1000 to a
ThinWire Ethernet network, proceed to Section 7.2.
If you are connecting your InfoServer 1000 to a standard Ethernet network,
proceed to Section 7.4.

7.2 Connecting to a ThinWire Ethernet Network
The following sections explain how to connect the InfoServer 1000 system to a
ThinWire Ethernet network.
7.2.1 Verifying Your ThinWire Ethernet Network Adapter
To verify the ThinWire Ethernet adapter, it must be correctly terminated. Be
sure that the ThinWire Ethernet T-connector and terminators are attached to
your system. You also need a console terminal.
Follow these steps:
1. Force the system into console mode as follows:
a. Turn the InfoServer 1000 power off.
b. Disconnect the network T-connector.
c. Turn the InfoServer 1000 power on.
When the system runs its power-on self-test diagnostics, the network
test will fail and the system will go into console mode. A display

7.2.2 Connecting Your System to a ThinWire Ethernet Cable
To connect the server system to ThinWire Ethernet cable, follow these steps:
1. Remove power from the system.
2. Attach a ThinWire cable to one side of the T-connector for the InfoServer
1000. Figure 7-1 shows the position of the T-connector.
3. If your system is the first or last system in a single ThinWire segment,
leave a terminator attached to one side of the T-connector.
A segment is a length of cable made up of one or more cable sections
connected with barrel connectors or T-connectors.
4. If your system is not the first or last system and you want to connect
another system to the ThinWire cable, add another section of cable to the
other side of the T-connector.
Ensure that the T-connector is attached correctly to the InfoServer 1000
or InfoServer SW1000. Push the T-connector onto the connector, then turn
the T-connector clockwise until it locks in place.

r.3 Creating a ThinWire Ethernet Workgroup
A workgroup is a set of systems connected serially on the same ThinWire
segment. This segment can work as a standalone network or can be connected
to a larger network.
The serial configuration lowers the cost of wiring. However, there is a risk that
someone may unplug a system and make the network connections inoperative
between systems on the ThinWire segment.
".3.1 Connecting Your System to an OPEN DECconnect Faceplate
If your office is wired with Digital's OPEN DECconnect products, then connect
your system to the OPEN DECconnect faceplate in your office. A faceplate is
a wall receptacle that provides a network connection for your system.
OPEN DECconnect cabling components support network configurations
ranging from simple standalone ThinWire networks to multimedia local area
networks (LAN s) that connect PCs, DEC stations , VAXstations, and VAX.
systems. No matter how large or how small your network, the most visible
OPEN DEC connect component in your office is the faceplate.
The faceplate has one of the following connectors:
•
A ThinWire BNC connector that allows several systems, including
InfoServer 1000 systems, to be serially connected to one another on
the office side of the faceplate.
•
A ThinWire Ethernet serial connector that allows several faceplates to be
serially connected behind the wall to a single segment of ThinWire cable.
One system can be attached to each faceplate.
Your network coordinator knows which type of OPEN DECconnect faceplate
you have in your office.
To connect your system, attach one end of the ThinWire cable to the office side
of the OPEN DEC connect faceplate. Attach the other end of the ThinWire
cable to the ThinWire connector on the back of your system. Figure 7-2 shows
these connections.

7.3.2 Troubleshooting the ThinWire Segment
If you find problems during the ThinWire Ethernet installation, use the
following checklist to ensure that all connections are correct:
1. Check that all connections are secure on the ThinWire Ethernet segment.
2. Check that there is a T-connector between the connector on the ThinWire
cable and the InfoServer 1000.
3. Check that there is no ThinWire segment between the system and the
T-connector. The T-connector must attach directly to the system.
4. Check that there are no branches off a ThinWire segment except through a
DEMPR multiport repeater.
A DEMPR provides eight (8) ThinWire Ethernet connections from a single
standard Ethernet connection.
5. Check that a ThinWire segment is not looped from one port on the DEMPR
to another port on the DEMPR.
6. Check that the InfoServer 1000's T-connector has not been disconnected
from an operating ThinWire Ethernet segment.
___________________________________ CAUTION __________________________
If you need to remove a system from an active ThinWire segment,
disconnect the center of the T-connector from the system, as shown in
Figure 7-3.
7. Check that you have not disconnected a terminator from an active
ThinWire segment. This will disrupt network operation.
After you have checked all ThinWire Ethernet connections, retest the Ethernet
as directed in Section 7.2.1.

7.4 Connecting to a Standard Ethernet Network
The following sections explain how to connect the InfoServer 1000 system to a
standard Ethernet network.
7.4.1 Verifying Your Standard Ethernet Network Adapter
To verify the standard Ethernet adapter, you must attach the 15-pin standard
Ethernet loopback plug to your InfoServer 1000.
Follow these steps:
1. Force the system into console mode as follows:
a. Tum the InfoServer 1000 power off.
h. Disconnect the network loopback plug at the rear of the enclosure.
c.
Tum the InfoServer 1000 power on.
When the system runs its power-on self-test diagnostics, the network
test will fail and the system will go into console mode. A display
similar to the following appears:

cable, as described in the next section.
If you have problems, refer to Section 7.4.3.
7.4.2 Connecting a Transceiver Cable to Your System
A transceiver cable is the physical connection between a standard Ethernet
network interface and an InfoServer 1000 system. You use a transceiver cable
to connect your system to an H4005 transceiver or DELNI unit, which connects
to the standard Thickwire Ethernet cable. To connect a transceiver cable to
your system:
1. Remove power from the InfoServer 1000 system.
2. Connect the 15-pin connector on the transceiver cable to the standard
Ethernet connector on the rear of the InfoServer 1000.
3. Use a screwdriver to move the connector's sliding lock and make the
standard Ethernet connection secure as shown in Figure 7-4.

7.4.3 Troubleshooting the Standard Ethernet Connection
If you have problems verifying the standard Ethernet connection, follow these
steps:
1. During standalone verification, ensure that the loopback plug is securely
connected to the system.
If you are connected to an active Ethernet segment, you can test the system
without the loopback plug.
2. Tum your system off, then turn it on again. The system verifies the
Ethernet connection during the power-on sequence.
3. After you check all Ethernet connections, retest the Ethernet adapter as
directed in Section 7.4.1.

Solving Problems
8.4 Entering the Console Mode
You must be at the console mode prompt in order to enter commands or
run diagnostics. To enter console mode initially on the InfoServer 1000, you
must simulate a failure. The easiest way to do this is to interrupt the network
connection during power on as follows:
1.
Turn the InfoServer 1000 power off.
2.
Disconnect the network at the rear of the enclosure.
3. Turn the InfoServer 1000 power on.
When the system runs its power-on self-test diagnostics, the network test
fails and the system will go into console mode (»».
4.
Reconnect the network.
5. Enter the desired commands.
Thereafter, you may enable halt-on-break mode with the following command:
»> SET XDELTA 1
When XDELTA is enabled, you may enter console mode at any time by pressing
the Break key on the console. Digital recommends that for normal use, this
mode be turned off with the command:
»>SET XDELTA 0
to avoid halting the InfoServer 1000 with an unintentional console break.
8.5 Interpreting the Power-On Error Messages
The InfoServer 1000 displays important information during its power-on
self-test sequence. A single question mark indicates status information. A
double question mark indicates possible failures.
_____________________________________________ Note __________________________________________
If the console terminal does not display any information on the screen
after the power-on self-test sequence starts (approximately 1 second),
a terminal or system failure may exist. Check Table 8-1, the basic
troubleshooting table.

If you see a single question mark in the power-on display, but operation of the
system seems normal, you can continue to use the system if the question mark
is next to a 7 (the SCSI bus controller test).
If you continue to see errors of this type during the power-on display, use the
information in the rest of this chapter to solve the problems. If the system
continues to display error infonnation or fails to operate normally, call your
Digital Services representative.
Possible Failures
If double question marks appear in the power-on display, failures may exist in
the system.
A double question mark indicates a hard error that can affect normal operation
and use of some system component. For example:

8.9 Running the Test Utilities for Expansion Peripherals
If an expansion peripheral fails, check that all cable connections are in place.
To test a CD-ROM drive, follow these steps:
1.
Put the system in console mode (refer to Section 8.4). The console prompt
(» » appears on your screen.
2. Insert a disc in the CD-ROM drive, following the instructions in
Appendix B.
3. Enter the TEST SCSI command at the console prompt.
4.
The test should display the normal response code as follows:
»>
T SCSI IReturn!
I I
ttt
OK
»>
If the SCSI test fails, issue the following commands:
»> U
»> SHOW DEVICE
Check the display to ensure that all devices. are present.., If connected
devices do not display on the screen, check that the SCSI IDs are unique
for each device and that each device is powered up. If the peripheral device
fails to display after you have checked these possible problems, call your
Digital Services representative for help.
8.10 Restarting the System After Running Tests
While running any of the tests or procedures in this chapter, your system is
in console mode. If the lnfoServer 1000 system software is already loaded in
the internal memory (refer to Section 5.2), resuming normal operation is easy.
Reenter program mode in one of two ways:
•
Enter the BOOT command at the console prompt and press Return. The
system then searches its internal memory for the server's load image.
•
Tum the InfoServer 1000 off and then on again. The server is configured
to boot automatically at power-on.
8-11
Solving Problems
Either method lets the server boot the system software in the internal memory.
If the software has not been copied into memory, place the InfoServer software
compact disc in the compact disc drive. If the system fails to boot initially from
the internal memory, the system automatically tries to boot from the compact
disc drive. It will try to boot indefinitely.
If the system does not boot when you enter the BOOT command, refer to
Section 8.12.
8.11 Reestablishing the Console Parameters
It may be necessary to reestablish key console parameters if you have replaced
the system. Enter the following commands at the console prompt:
»>
»>
»>
»>
»>
SET BOOT DKA200, DKA100, FLASH IRetum!
SET HALT 2 IReturn I
SET BFLG DOOOOOOO IR~um!
SET XDELTA 0 IReturn I

8.12 Recovering from Bootstrap Failures
If the InfoServer 1000 system fails to boot and displays the following error
message, the internal FLASH memory is corrupted:
- IMAGE NOT PRESENT C7
Use the following procedure to upgrade FLASH memory. Otherwise, the
procedure should be used only if the InfoServer 1000 software in FLASH is
known to be out-of-date as described in the software release notes.
1. Turn the InfoServer 1000 power off.
2. Disconnect the Ethernet cable at the rear of the enclosure.
3. Connect the console tenninal, tum it on, and allow it to warm up.
4. Turn the InfoServer 1000 power on.
5. If the self-test diagnostics do not complete and the console prompt»> does
not appear, proceed to step 11.
6. If you have a CD-ROM drive on the system, execute a SHOW DEVICE
command and make note of the unit number of the CD-ROM drive.
Otherwise, proceed to step 10.
7. Boot the InfoServer 1000 from the CD-ROM drive with the command:
»> B DKAnnn:
8-12
Solving Problems
where nnn refers to the unit number.
8. When the Enter Password: prompt appears, enter the default password
(ESS) or the last saved password. If you have forgotten the current
password, refer to the troubleshooting chapter in the InfoServer System
Operations Guide.
9. Enter the following commands in response to the InfoServer> prompt:
InfoServer> SET STATE OFF
InfoServer> UPDATE SYSTEM DRIn: FLASH
where In is the unit number of the device containing the compact disk.
Proceed to step 13.
10. If there is no CD-ROM drive available, enter the following command to
boot the InfoServer 1000 from the Ethernet:
»> B/100 ESAO
Bootfile:
Proceed to step 12 if the Bootfile: prompt appears.
11. If the B/100 ESAO command does not produce a Bootfile prompt, or if the
InfoServer 1000 does not even execute the power-on self-test to the point
where the »> prompt appears, then perform the following steps:
a. Tum the power off.
b. Remove two retaining screws on the bottom and slide off the InfoServer
1000 cover.
c.
Move the external jumper (Jl) to the "enabled" position (Figure 8-1).
d. Replace the cover and tum the power on. The Bootfile: prompt
should appear.
12. At the Bootfile: prompt, enter the name of the boot image provided by
the software release notes document. If step 11 has been executed, then
the boot image should be chosen to update the diagnostics as well as the
InfoServer 1000 firmware image.
You must have the image available for MOP downline loading from another
InfoServer 1000 or from a host system. Refer to the InfoServer System
Operations Guide for instructions on enabling MOP downline loading of
InfoServer update images.

Loading and Unloading Compact Disks
B.1 Introduction
The information in this appendix provides instruction on how to load and
unload CD-ROM disks into the reader using a caddy.
B.2 Loading a Compact Disc
When you load a disc into the compact-disc drive, insert the entire disc caddy·
into the disc door on the drive. Do not remove the disc from the caddy.
To load compact discs that you want to serve to the network, follow these steps:
1.
Examine the disc caddy. Ensure that it is not cracked or damaged. Never
load a damaged caddy into a compact-disc drive.
2. If a protective film is on the lid of the caddy, remove the film before using
the caddy (Figure B-1).
3. To open the lid of the caddy, press the tabs on both sides and lift the lid
(Figure B-1).
4. To load an empty caddy with a disc, hold the disc by the edges and place
the disc (with disc label up) into the caddy (Figure B-2). Do not touch the
surface of the disc. Be sure to place the disc beneath the edge of the caddy.
5. Press both comers firmly to close the lid (Figure B-2).
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Note _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __
The loading procedure for the standalone and enclosure-mounted drives
is the same with one exception; the standalone drive requires setting
the power switch to on. Figure B-3 shows the standalone drive.
6. Insert the caddy into the drive (Figure B-3).
B-1
Loading and Unloading Compact Disks
The green activity light should turn on within five (5) seconds. If the drive
accepts the disc and caddy, but the light does not come on, the disc could be
placed incorrectly in the caddy. Remove the disc and check that the label is
facing up when you insert the disc into the drive again. If the activity light
still does not come on, there could be a problem with the drive. Contact
your local Digital Services representative.
The drive reads the Table of Contents (TOC) on the disc. The busy
indicator lights while the TOC is read. When the busy indicator light goes
off, the drive is ready to receive commands.

SCSI 10 Numbers
C.1 Introduction
The information in this appendix is for technical users who want to create
custom configurations.
The small computer systems interface (SCSI) is an interface designed for
connecting disks and other peripheral devices to computer systems. SCSI is
defined by an American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard and
used by many computer and peripheral vendors throughout the industry. The
InfoServer 1000 complies with the SCSI-II standard.
Up to eight (8) SCSI devices can share a SCSI bus. All data and commands
are sent back and forth on the bus (cable). Each SCSI device attached to the
cable "looks" at all the data, but a SCSI device recognizes only the data that
has the proper device identification, called a SCSI ID number. 1
C.2 SCSI ID Default Settings
You are responsible for the SCSI ID settings on your equipment. Digital sets
each SCSI device to a default setting before the equipment leaves the factory.
You may never need to change a default setting. Default settings should only
be changed when a system is configured with more than one of a particular
device.
The SCSI ID numbers are 0 through 7. The number 7 is reserved for a device
requiring the highest priority on the SCSI bus. The number 6 is reserved for
the controller. The remaining six ID numbers (0 through 5) are available for
custom configuration.
.
Table C-llists the default SCSI settings for the InfoServer 1000 system.
The ID numbers listed give optimal performance on most systems. However,
if you have special performance needs, you can set the ID number on each
SCSI device manually. For most applications, SCSI ID numbers can be set
arbitrarily as long as no two devices share the same ID.
1
The SCSI controller within the InfoServer 1000 occupies one SCSI ID number.

Each device has a set of switches or jumpers that can be set for
a specific SCSI ID. The optional standalone hard-disk drives and
additional compact-disc drives are mounted in expansion enclosures
that have external switches.

C.3 Determining the SCSI 10 Numbers
To determine SCSI ID numbers, enter the SHOW DEVI CE command at the console
prompt (»», then press IRetum~ For directions on how to place the system
in console mode, refer to Section 8.4. The command displays your system
configuration on the screen.
In the following example, the system contains a controller, an RRD42
compact-disc drive, and an RZ23L hard-disk drive. There are five open ID
numbers.

SCSI 10 Numbers
Rules for Setting SCSI 10 Numbers
•
You can have up to seven (7) expansion peripherals on the SCSI bus.
•
Each peripheral must have its own unique identifier.
•
The SCSI bus must be terminated.
Proper operation of the SCSI bus requires that you use high-quality,
properly configured cables and connectors to connect all devices. Digital
recommends that you use only Digital-supplied cable assemblies intended for
interconnecting SCSI devices. This ensures that the impedance characteristics,
signal propagation velocity, inductance, capacitance, cross-talk, grounding,
conductor pairing, and shielding meet the requirements for proper operation of
the bus.
Digital also recommends that all units on the SCSI bus be powered from a
common ac power source. Digital does not guarantee the proper operation of
any SCSI bus that uses cable assemblies not supplied by Digital, or that is not
configured in accordance with Digital's recommendations.
