High-performance SPARC64 GP Processor  
The SPARC64 GP is a high performance processor which has an out-of-order execution engine.  
The SPARC64 GP supports large size external cache of 2MB/4MB/8MB per processor as well  
as 64KB(instruction)+64KB(Data) on-chip cache.  
Error Correcting Code (ECC) is used for both on-chip and external cache.  
High-performance Multi-Processor Platform  
Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) architecture  
The memory system has a high bandwidth, up to 8-way interleaving, and which enables fast  
access.  
A packet-based bus protocol, to enable a throughput of 1.3 to 1.6 GB/s per processor, is  
implemented.  
A crossbar configuration, which is based on a packet bus, enables high-level parallel operations  
of processors and memory modules, I/O and memory modules, and data transfer among  
processors. And, the system delivers scalable performance by installing additional processors  
and I/Os.  
–
–
The crossbar switch enables parallel operations of several processors and I/Os.  
The performance of the single bus is improved by expanding the bus width and high  
frequency operation.  
–
The efficiency of bus usage is drastically improved by bus control in the packet exchange  
system.  
High-performance EDO DRAM (Extended Data Out DRAM) is used on the platform for the  
memory expansion.(M200, M600)  
High-performance SDRAM (Synchronous DRAM) is used on the platform for the memory  
expansion.(M200R, M400A, M400R, M600R)

Power-on diagnostics are executed on the system components, such as processors, memory  
modules and so on, during initial power-on or reset of the system.  
Automatic System Reconfiguration (ASR) isolates faulty hardware components immediately  
after detecting it. The ASR function isolates not only faulty components detected during initial  
power-on but also those detected while the system is running. However, the ASR function  
cannot restart the system if errors are detected in the resources required for booting up the  
system, or in the basic components of the system.

CHAPTER 1 Product Outline  
A SCF (System Control Facility), which has an integrated service processor, monitors the  
operation of SPARC64 GP processors, and reports erroneous events such as environmental  
monitoring explained below. With a GUI-based intelligent monitoring and reporting tool,  
which is provided in "Basic Software Extension" or "Enhanced Support Facility",  
administration and management of GP7000F is easy and less time consuming.  
The SCF monitors environmental temperature, powering and cooling conditions. This function  
prevents the system from environmental condition that can cause error or damages to the  
system.  
–
–
–
Monitoring Environmental Temperature ; The guaranteed operating temperature of the  
system ranges from 5 to 35 degrees Celsius (41 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit). A warning  
message is displayed at about 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit). If the  
temperature reaches about 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit), the system is shut  
down automatically.  
Monitoring Powers ; The power supplies are always monitored, and a message is displayed  
on the LCD panel, if power supply failure is detected. When the system doesn’t have a  
redundant power supply, the system will be powered off immediately. Besides it, the  
integrated service processor monitors and controls DC-DC converter which provides  
power to the processor modules.  
Monitoring Fans ; Several fans are installed inside the GP7000F main cabinet. If one of the  
fans breaks down, a warning message which indicates the defective fan is displayed on the  
LCD panel. And, if the fans cannot provide enough cooling, the system is shut down  
automatically.  
RCI (Remote Cabinet Interface) makes power cycle control of expansion I/O unit, such as  
Expansion Disk Unit and Expansion File Unit, which has the RCI interface.  
Status of LEDs and messages on LCD panel of GP7000F main cabinet as well as console  
messages make trouble shooting easy and less time consuming.  
All internal disk drives are hot-swappable, and these drives can be mirrored for higher data  
availability. In addition, redundant power supplies and fans are supported for higher availability.  
The front cover/panel has a lock key to prevent unauthorized access to the internal I/O devices  
as well as front panel switches.

OFF  
The system is not turned on or it is operating normally  
If the system administrator shuts down the system (when the AC main line switch is on) while there  
are degraded-mode components remaining in the system, the CHECK LED will continue to blink  
slowly to remind the system administrator there are faulty components to be diagnosed. Possible  
causes of a CHECK LED alarm are: errors in temperature monitoring, related components (such as  
the power supplies and fans) or degraded-mode components (such as processors and memory  
modules, etc.).  
When the system is turned on, the CHECK LED lights up briefly. However, this is not an error  
unless the CHECK LED remains light up for more than three seconds, or begins to blink.  
LCD  
The LCD panel can display 2 rows of 16 digits. The messages displayed on it are status or results of  
the power-on diagnostics, and environmental events such as over temperature, etc. Therefore, when  
an error occurs, the user or system administrator can recognize the state of the hardware system  
easily by checking the messages displayed on the LCD panel as well as console messages.  
Error messages remain on the LCD panel until the error is corrected. There is only one LCD panel,  
therefore, it displays messages in turn when there are several errors. Note that error events are  
corrected even though their message displayed on the panel is overwritten by messages of other  
events. However, since the initial diagnostics is allowed to report only one event, the next message  
of another event will be displayed on the panel after repaired a reported event.  
Messages are erased from the panel when:  
an error event is corrected.  
the power of the main cabinet is cycled  
the AC main line switch is turned off, or  
the RESET switch is pressed (partial messages are erased).  
When an error or an abnormal state occurs, record the messages displayed on the LCD panel and  
status of the CHECK LED. Then, contact the system administrator or service engineers. See 14  
"Troubleshooting" for more information regarding the messages displayed on the LCD panel.

terminal(or local graphic display).  
Be sure to eject backup tape media and any diskettes before  
CAUTION  
power-off the system, if the media are installed. Otherwise, the  
data on the media may be destroyed.  
Except in an emergency, never turn off the AC switch or disconnect  
the power cable while the GP7000F main cabinet is turned on. If  
you do, data in the disk drives may be destroyed.  
IMPORTANT  
When turning on the main line switch under a state that the MODE switch is AUTO or  
SECURE, the GP7000F may be powered up automatically just turn on the main line switch  
if APCS(Auto Power Control System) software is installed in your GP7000F system.  
To avoid powering up just turning on the main line switch even if the softwares is installed  
in your GP7000F system, turn on the main line switch under the state of the MODE switch  
is set to MANUAL position.

CHAPTER 1 Product Outline  
1.6 Installation of Basic Software Extension or Enhanced Support Facility  
To enable support of GP7000F specific functions, software packages in the "Basic Software Extension" or  
"Enhanced Support Facility"are needed to install on the system. Please refer to the user’s guide and installation  
guide of the "Basic Software Extension" or "Enhanced Support Facility" for more information.  
Install "Basic Software Extension" or "Enhanced Support Facility" before  
CAUTION  
operating the system. Without this package, incorrect operator panel operations  
or hardware errors may cause the system to shut down or destroy data.  
1.7 local-mac-address Property  
The network interface of the Ethernet (100BASE-TX) is assigned a unique MAC (Media Access Control)adress,  
which represents the 48-bit ethernet address for the channel. The OpenBoot(R) firmware reports this MAC address  
via the local-mac-address property in the device nodes corresponding to the network interfaces.  
A system is not obligated to use this assigned MAC address if it has a system-wide MAC address. In such cases,  
the system-wide MAC address applies to all network interfaces on the system.  
The device driver, or any other adapter utility, can use the network device’s MAC address (local-mac-address)  
while configuring it. In future Solaris releases, you will be able to use the channel’s MAC address when booting  
over the network.  
The mac-address property of the network device specifies the network device specifies the network address  
(system-wide or local-mac-address) used for booting the system. To start using the MAC address assigned to the  
network interface of the Ethernet (100BASE-TX), set the NVRAM configuration variable local-mac-address? to  
true.  
OK setenv local-mac-address? true

The 80-mm square fan is replaced by the 120-mm square fan when the expansion  
power supply is installed.  
Power supplies  
The M200 main cabinet has a basic power supply unit as well as DDC(DC-DC Converter)s  
dedicated to each processor module. When the Disk Expansion Unit is installed, The expansion  
power supply is required (when 5 to 8 disks are installed in the M200 main cabinet).  
If the expansion power supply is not installed when the Disk Expansion Unit is installed, an  
indication that a mounting rule has been violated is reported on the LCD panel and power-on is  
inhibited. This checking function prevents faulty configurations. The checking function is executed  
when a disk cage is expanded regardless of whether a disk unit is installed.  
The alarm detection feature is not implemented for the expansion power supply of the M200 main  
cabinet. If a failure occurs in the expansion power supply, the power cannot be supplied to the Disk  
Expansion Unit. In this case, the POWER LED on the disk expansion cage turns off. If an error  
occurs in the disk unit installed in the Disk Expansion Unit (because the power is not supplied), the  
expansion power supply may be at failed. Check the POWER LED on the expansion disk cage.  
Stabilizing feet  
The stabilizing feet prevent the M200 main cabinet from falling over when it is pushed from its side  
or if there is an earthquake. When installing the M200 main cabinet, be sure to install the stabilizing  
feet.  
Rear of the M200 main cabinet  
AC input, AC main line switch, power supply(FEP) and some connectors are located on the rear

Processor Configuration  
Up to 2 processors can be installed in the M200 main cabinet. When installing the processor  
modules, the following conditions must be satisfied:  
The installed processor modules must be the same type (including the cache size).  
Install a processor module in slot 0 before installing one in slot 1.  
When installing a processor module, install DC-DC converters along with the processor in the  
corresponding slot.  
IMPORTANT  
If any of the above conditions is not satisfied, the operation is not guaranteed.  
19  
CHAPTER 2 M200 Main Cabinet  
Memory configuration  
The M200 has 16 DIMM slots, allowing for as much as 4 gigabytes of main memory. When  
installing the DIMMs, the following conditions must be satisfied:  
When installing the first set of DIMM, install a set of 4 modules of the same size in slots 0 to 3.  
At subsequent memory expansions, install a set of 4 modules of the same size in slots 4, 5, 6, 7;  
and 8, 9, 10, 11; then 12, 13, 14, 15.  
IMPORTANT  
If any of the above conditions is not satisfied when installing the DIMMs, some DIMMs are  
degraded in the power-on diagnostics. When adding the memory modules, check that the  
DIMMs are installed correctly.  
Memory ECC feature  
The EDO DRAM is used as the memory element. The single-bit error correction and multiple-bits  
error detection features are available for a large capacity memory by using the Error Check Code  
(ECC) system. A single-bit error can be isolated down to the memory slot on which it occurred. A  
multiple-bit error can be isolated down to the pair of slots on which it occurred.  
Checking the memory diagnostics  
To check that the system recognizes installed memory modules correctly, execute the  
show-post-results command at the ok prompt. A module that does not satisfy any condition  
described in "Memory configuration" or a module judged to be faulty by memory diagnostics is  
treated as an invalid module. The screen below lists the command execution results related to  
memories and their meanings.

2.4 Disk Units  
The denominator indicates the size of the memory module for a slot (unit: megabytes); 0* indicates  
a faulty slot. The numerator indicates the size of the memory that is actually available for use. The  
numerator 0 indicates that no memory is used.  
In this example, DIMMs are installed in slots 0 to 7. The size of each module is 32 megabytes  
except the one installed in slot 5. The initial system diagnostics detected an error in the module  
installed in slot 5 and placed the module in degraded mode, assuming there was no available space.  
As a result, the group of modules in slots 4 to 7 is not available for use.  
2.4 Disk Units  
Disk drive configuration  
When the Disk Expansion Unit (which includes an expansion disk cage) is added, up to 8 disk units  
can be installed in the M200 main cabinet. Basic disk cage (bay #0 - #3) is connected to UltraSCSI  
bus, and the expansion disk cage (bay #0 - #3) is connected to another UltraSCSI bus. Each disk  
drive has two status LEDs. For the status of these LEDs, refer to 11 , "Input-Output Units."

CHAPTER 2 M200 Main Cabinet  
Disk Expansion Unit  
By using the Disk Expansion Unit, up to 8 disk drives can be installed in the M200 main cabinet.  
The Disk Expansion Unit consists of the following components:  
Disk cage (including SCSI-BP)  
PCI adapter (UltraSCSI Wide Single-Ended)  
Expansion power supply unit (requires changing to 120-mm (4.7 inch) square fan: included)  
Cables  
Be sure to replace the power supply fan when installing the Disk  
Expansion Unit. Otherwise, the system will shutdown or disk units  
will deteriorate due to a temperature rise in the M200 main cabinet  
caused by insufficient cooling.  
CAUTION  
A Power LED is installed on the SCSI-BP board. If both ACTIVE LED and FAULT LED above a  
disk bay do not lights, check to see if the POWER LED on the SCSI-BP board is turned on. If this  
POWER LED does not turn on, disk expansion unit or its cable may be faulty.  
When installing the Disk Expansion Unit, the installed location (slot) of the PCI card used for  
connection must be set. Below shows the setting procedure.  
1 First, execute show-scsi command at the ok prompt, to get the path name of the UltraSCSI  
card and it’s PCI slot. The followings example shows that a Ultra SCSI card is installed in PCI  
slot#6.  
ok show-scsi  
PCI#6 : /pci@1d,4000/scsi@5,1  
PCI#6 : /pci@1d,4000/scsi@5  
SCSI#0: /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3  
ok  
2 Then, set led-control-1 to correspond to the PCI slot by using setenv command at the  
ok prompt. The followings example shows that a Disk Expansion Unit connection to SCSI  
Conector #1 of the UltraSCSI card in PCI slot#6.  
ok setenv led-control-1 /pci@1d,4000/scsi@5  
If the installing location (slot) is not set or set incorrectly, the disk  
drive may not be hot-swappable. Data may be destroyed as a  
result of inadvertently replacing the different disk drive. Be sure to  
set the installing location (slot) correctly.  
CAUTION  
Also, while replacing or initializing NVRAM, set the installing  
location again.

Processor Configuration  
Up to 2 processors can be installed in the M200R main cabinet. When installing the processor  
modules, the following conditions must be satisfied:  
The installed processor modules must be the same type (including the cache size).  
Install a processor module in slot 0 before installing one in slot 1.  
When installing a processor module, install DC-DC converters along with the processor in the  
corresponding slot.  
IMPORTANT  
If any of the above conditions is not satisfied, the operation is not guaranteed.  
Memory configuration  
The M200R has 16 memory slots, allowing for as much as 4 gigabytes of main memory. When  
installing the memory modules, the following conditions must be satisfied:  
When installing the first set of DIMM, install a set of 4 modules of same size in slots 0, 1, 2,  
and 3.  
At subsequent memory expansions, install a set of 4 modules of the same size in slots 4, 5, 6, 7,  
and 8, 9, 10, 11, then 12, 13, 14, 15.  
IMPORTANT  
If any of the above conditions is not satisfied when installing the DIMMs, some DIMMs are  
degraded in the power-on diagnostics. When expanding the memory modules, check that  
the DIMMs are installed correctly.  
Memory ECC feature  
The SDRAM is used as the memory chip. The single-bit error correction and multiple-bit error  
detection features are available for a large capacity memory by using the Error Check Code (ECC)  
system. A single-bit error can be isolated down to the memory slot on which it occurred. A  
multiple-bit error can be isolated down to the pair of slots on which it occurred.  
Checking results of the memory diagnostics  
To check that the system recognizes installed memory modules correctly, execute the  
"show-post-results" command at the ok prompt. A module that does not satisfy any  
condition described in "Memory configuration" or a module judged to be faulty by memory  
diagnostics is treated as an invalid module. The screen below lists the command execution results  
related to memories and their meanings.

Processor Configuration  
Up to 4 CPU can be installed in the M400R main cabinet. When installing the processor modules,  
the following conditions must be satisfied:  
The installed processor modules must be the same type (including the cache size).  
Install a processor module in slot 0 before installing one in slot 1.  
When installing a processor module, install a DC-DC converter along with the processor in the  
corresponding slot.  
IMPORTANT  
If any of the above conditions is not satisfied, the operation is not guaranteed.  
Memory configuration  
Using the Expansion System Board’s option the M400R has 32 memory slots, allowing for as much  
as 8 gigabytes of main memory. When installing the memory modules, the following conditions  
must be satisfied:  
When installing the first set of DIMM, install a set of 4 modules of same size in slots 0, 1, 2,  
and 3.  
At subsequent memory expansions, install a set of 4 modules of the same size in slots 4, 5, 6, 7,  
and 8, 9, 10, 11, then 12, 13, 14, 15.  
The same memory installation rules ( described above ) apply when using the Expansion  
System Board.  
IMPORTANT  
If any of the above conditions is not satisfied when installing the DIMMs, some DIMMs are  
degraded in the power-on diagnostics. When expanding the memory modules, check that  
the DIMMs are installed correctly.  
Memory ECC feature  
The SDRAM is used as the memory chip. The single-bit error correction and multiple-bit error  
detection features are available for a large capacity memory by using the Error Check Code (ECC)  
system. A single-bit error can be isolated down to the memory slot on which it occurred. A  
multiple-bit error can be isolated down to the pair of slots on which it occurred.  
Checking results of the memory diagnostics  
To check that the system recognizes installed memory modules correctly, execute the  
"show-post-results" command at the ok prompt. A module that does not satisfy any  
condition described in "Memory configuration" or a module judged to be faulty by memory  
diagnostics is treated as an invalid module. The screen below lists the command execution results  
related to memories and their meanings.

IMPORTANT  
If any of the above conditions is not satisfied, the operation is not guaranteed.  
Memory configuration  
The M600 has 32 memory slots, allowing for as much as 8 gigabytes of main memory. When  
intsalling the memory modules, the following conditions must be satisfied:  
When installing the first set of DIMM, install a set of 4 modules of same size in slots 0 and 1 of  
both groups A and B.  
At subsequent memory expansions, install a set of 4 modules in slots 2 and 3 of both groups A  
and B. Then, install a set of 8 modules in slots 4 to 7 of both groups A and B. Finally, install a  
set of 16 modules in slots 8 to 15 of both groups A and B. The modules installed in the slots of a  
group must have the same size.  
Alternatively, install the set of 4 or 8 or 16 modules of same size in just group A. The set of  
modules must be installed in the lowest available slots. However, ASR (Automatic System  
Reconfiguration) from memory failure may not work, in this memory configuration.  
IMPORTANT  
If any of the above conditions is not satisfied when installing the DIMMs, some DIMMs are  
degraded in the power-on diagnostics. When expanding the memory modules, check that  
the DIMMs are installed correctly.  
Memory ECC feature  
The EDO DRAM is used as the memory chip. The single-bit error correction and multiple-bit error  
detection features are available for a large capacity memory by using the Error Check Code (ECC)  
system. A single-bit error can be isolated down to the memory slot on which it occurred. A  
multiple-bit error can be isolated down to the pair of slots on which it occurred.  
73  
CHAPTER 6 M600 Main Cabinet  
Checking results of the memory diagnostics  
To check that the system recognizes installed memory modules correctly, execute the  
"show-post-results" command at the ok prompt. A module that does not satisfy any  
condition described in "Memory configuration" or a module judged to be faulty by memory  
diagnostics is treated as an invalid module. The screen below lists the command execution results  
related to memories and their meanings.

Note:  
If a memory error is detected, an asterisk is displayed in the Size field for the  
corresponding slot. In this example, an error in slot #4 of group B is detected in the  
initial diagnostics operation. Modules in slots 0 to 3 and 5 to 7 of group B are  
recognized as normal modules but also become invalid.

IMPORTANT  
If any of the above conditions is not satisfied, the operation is not guaranteed.  
Memory configuration  
The M600R has 32 memory slots, allowing for as much as 16 gigabytes of main memory. When  
installing the memory modules, the following conditions must be satisfied:  
When installing the first set of DIMM, install a set of 4 modules of same size in slots 0 and 1 of  
both groups A and B.  
At subsequent memory expansions, install a set of 4 modules in slots 2 and 3 of both groups A  
and B. Then, install a set of 8 modules in slots 4 to 7 of both groups A and B. Finally, install a  
set of 16 modules in slots 8 to 15 of both groups A and B. The modules installed in the slots of a  
group must have the same size.  
Alternatively, install the set of 4 or 8 or 16 modules of same size in just group A. The set of  
modules must be installed in the lowest available slots. However, ASR (Automatic System  
Reconfiguration) from memory failure may not work, in this memory configuration.  
IMPORTANT  
If any of the above conditions is not satisfied when installing the DIMMs, some DIMMs are  
degraded in the power-on diagnostics. When expanding the memory modules, check that  
the DIMMs are installed correctly.  
Memory ECC feature  
The SDRAM is used as the memory chip. The single-bit error correction and multiple-bit error  
detection features are available for a large capacity memory by using the Error Check Code (ECC)  
system. A single-bit error can be isolated down to the memory slot on which it occurred. A  
multiple-bit error can be isolated down to the pair of slots on which it occurred.  
87  
CHAPTER 7 M600R Main Cabinet  
Checking results of the memory diagnostics  
To check that the system recognizes installed memory modules correctly, execute the  
"show-post-results" command at the ok prompt. A module that does not satisfy any  
condition described in "Memory configuration" or a module judged to be faulty by memory  
diagnostics is treated as an invalid module. The screen below lists the command execution results  
related to memories and their meanings.

On  
When a power supply unit or fan unit is failed, the CHECK LED is lighted steadily. And, if a disk  
unit fail, its FAULT LED is lighted by software command to identify the faulty disk unit.  
When a FAULT LED is lighted up according to hot-swap procedures, the CHECK LED is lighted  
steadily to identify an Expansion Disk Cabinet.  
Disk units can be hot-swappable easily by opening the front cover of the cabinet. The front cover  
has a key lock in order to protect from unauthorized access to the internal units in the Expansion  
Disk Cabinet.  
Stabilizing foot  
The stabilizing feet prevent the expansion disk cabinet from toppling over if it is pushed or shaken,  
as during an earthquake. Be sure to attach these feet according to the installation condition as  
explained below:  
When the expansion cabinet is installed beside a GP7000F main cabinet, attach the stabilizing  
feet only to the opposite side of the main cabinet. Do not attach the stabilizing feet to the  
GP7000F main cabinet on the side next to the Expansion Cabinet as well.  
When the cabinet is installed as a standalone, attach the stabilizing feet on both sides of the  
cabinet.

11.1 Disk Units  
Key features  
The following features of the disk units are applied for the GP7000F main cabinet, Expansion Disk  
Cabinet and Expansion File Unit.  
3.5-inch UltraSCSI wide disk drive, up to 40 MB/s transfer rate.  
SCA-II (Single Connector Attachment II) connector, which support hot-swap.  
Geographical SCSI addressing, which depend upon disk drive bay, simplifies SCSI address  
selection.  
Hot-swapping a disk unit  
The hot swap feature, combined with disk mirroring, improves system availability. The system  
administrator or service engineers can determine the status of disk unit using the software  
management command for disk mirroring. In addition, each disk unit has two status LEDs along  
each disk drive bay.

IMPORTANT  
To hot-swap a disk unit, you need to use the software tool which is provided in "Basic  
Software Extension" or "Enhanced Support Facility". Please refer to user’s guide of the  
"Basic Software Extension" or "Enhanced Support Facility" for more information. The  
FAULT LED lights up according to the procedures described in the user’s guide to identify  
the failed disk unit. If the FAULT LED does not light up even if you follow the procedures  
described in the user’s guide, hot-swapping is not possible. In this case, power-off the  
entire system, then replace the disk unit.  
When adding a new disk unit while the system is running, use the software tool, as well.  
The POWER LED is installed in the disk cage. If the FAULT LED and ACTIVE LED of a disk  
drive bay that has a disk drive doesn’t light up, check the POWER LED if it is light up or not.  
122  
11.2 Floppy Disk Units  
When replacing the disk unit, take the following precautions. If  
these precautions are not taken, the disk unit or its data may be  
destroyed.  
CAUTION  
Do not subject the disk unit to strong shocks.  
Do not bring a device generating a strong electromagnetic field  
such as a motor or a loudspeaker near the disk unit.  
Do not store the disk unit where condensation may occur or  
where the temperature or humidity changes rapidly.  
Disk format  
The disk units are pre-formatted. If you need to format a disk drive, you can format a disk drive  
with a format utility. The format utility performs auto-configuration, when you enter type at the  
format> prompt and select Auto configure as the disk type.  
Carefully proceed formatting a disk drive. Once formatting a disk

Figure 11.9 DAT Data Cartridge Write-protection Tab  
When using the data cartridge (DAT), take the following  
CAUTION  
precautions. If these precautions are not observed, the DAT unit or  
its data may be destroyed.  
Do not allow a magnet or magnetized object near a data cartridge.  
Do not expose the tape or turn the tape reel unnecessarily.  
Do not spill coffee or any other liquid over a data cartridge.  
Do not leave a data cartridge where it may be exposed to high temperature, high humidity, dust,  
or sunlight.  
Do not drop a data cartridge or subject it to any other strong shock.  
If the ambient temperature or humidity changes rapidly, wait for data cassettes to adapt to the  
new conditions before mounting them in the DAT unit.  
When a data cartridge is not being used, store it outside the DAT unit (do not leave it in the  
DAT unit).  
Rewrite magnetic tape cartridges in storage that contain important data every six months.  
When storing data cartridges for a long time, the following environmental conditions must be  
satisfied:  
Temperature: 5 to 32 degrees Celsius (+41 to +89 F)  
Humidity: 20 to 60% (Condensation not allowed)  
Maximum wet bulb temperature: 26 degrees Celsius (+78.8 F)  
133  
CHAPTER 11 Input-Output Units  
Each data cartridge has an expendable service life. If the Attention LED blinks frequently or  
continuously after the magnetic head has been cleaned, the life of the data cartridge has expired.  
Generally, replace data cartridges with new ones after they have been used 300 times.  
Cleaning the magnetic head  
After the DAT unit has been used for a long time, the magnetic head will accumulate dust or  
magnetic powder from the tapes. If the magnetic head is left dirty, it may damage a tape, or deposit  
dust or magnetic powder onto a tape and thus cause errors or data destruction. Therefore, use a  
cleaning cartridge to clean the magnetic head.  
Clean the magnetic head when:  
The DAT unit has been operating for more than 25 hours.  
One month has passed since the last head cleaning  
The Attention LED is blinking  
The cleaning instruction message is output to the console display.  
When a cleaning cartridge is inserted into the DAT unit in the same way as a data cartridge, head  
cleaning will start automatically. Head cleaning takes about 30 seconds. The cleaning cartridge is  
ejected automatically after cleaning is completed.  
Replacing the cleaning cartridge, when the cleaning cartridge is used, a portion of the cleaning tape  
is moved from the left reel to the right reel as shown in the figure above. Each part of the tape is  
used once only.  
Replace the cleaning cartridge when there is no more tape on the left reel.  
IMPORTANT  
Do not use any method other than a DDS-approved cleaning cartridge which has a DDS  
logo on it.

CHAPTER 12 External Interfaces  
12.1 UPS Control Interface  
Overview The UPS control interface is used to perform temporary data saving processing. In this processing, a  
reserved interruption for software occurs when the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is used to  
backup a power failure in the commercial AC power supply. In addition to this type of UPS control  
interface, there are several other UPS units that use the general-purpose interface such as RS232C.  
Connecting interfaces  
The configurations and definitions of the signal lines to be connected to the UPS system are shown  
below. Do not use pin numbers unspecified below to connect to the UPS system.

CHAPTER 13 RCI Setting  
13.1 Overview  
The remote cabinet interface (RCI) function turns on/off the power of the expansion unit along with the main unit.  
The RCI function also reports any error that occurring in an expansion unit to the main unit.  
RCI displays the current node addresses, executes initialization, and requests the binding of a new node after hot  
system replacement. It supports the commands explained below.  
13.2 RCI Commands  
Overview The RCI command has a function that displays the RCI configuration information, sets the node  
address, and incorporates the node during hot system replacement.  
The following table lists the RCI commands:  
rci-config  
This command displays RCI configuration information. Use  
this command to check the host node address and references  
node device names after the RCI setting.  
rci-config n m  
This command initializes RCI and sets an address for the  
local host node. It does not connect the node. N is the  
node address number and m is the number of hosts (n=m).  
(Necessary command for initialization)  
rci-configio-init  
rci-configio  
This command sets new addresses of all RCI nodes (host and  
I/O) and connects them. I/O node addresses are reassigned,  
starting with 1. Use this command in initial installation.  
Use this command to add or remove a local node (I/O).  
Notes  
In initial installation, execute an rci-config command by specifying n=1 and  
m=1. Then, execute an rci-configio-init command.  
When adding a host node, set the mode switch on the panel of a connected host  
node to "MANUAL." This masks a failure report caused by the node expansion.  
Then, use the RCI cable to connect the expansion target host and turn on the host.  
Execute an rci-config n m command and an rci-configio command in  
the host. Set the mode switch to the original position when the connection is  
complete.  
When adding an I/O node, set the mode switch on the panel of a connected host  
node to "MANUAL." Use the RCI cable to connect the expansion target host and  
turn on the host again. Then, execute an rci-configio command when the  
ok prompt is displayed.

CHAPTER 14 Troubleshooting  
14.1 Overview  
This chapter will give you some tips to isolate hardware problems of the GP7000F. The GP7000F has some  
hardware features to diagnose and monitor the hardware, and it makes trouble shooting easy and less time  
consuming.  
LCD panel shows hardware error messages, if it is found during power-on diagnostics or while the system is  
running. Also, the CHECK LED on the front panel light up, if the GP7000F has a problem.  
When the ok prompt are shown on a console display, some commands are available to show results of the  
power-on diagnostics.  
If problems are occurred while the operating system is running, error messages are displayed on the console  
and logged in the /var/adm/messages file. When the operating system is running, a variety of diagnostic  
program can be used to verify the hardware system. For more information about the diagnostic program, refer  
to the manuals of the "Basic Software Extension" or "Enhanced Support Facility".  
Note that errors in I/O devices such as disk drives and PCI cards are not indicated both on the LCD panel nor the  
CHECK LED. Also, except for some system hardware such as processor modules, errors which are occurred while  
the operating system is running are not indicated by them. The system administrator should isolate such errors by  
the system console messages and the system log files.  
14.2 Commands at the ok prompt  
Results of initial diagnosis  
The following commands are available at the ok prompt to show results of the initial diagnostic.  
Also, the diagnostic results can be referred to by using the prtdiag(1M) command while the  
operating system is running. For details of the LCD display messages, refer to Section 14.4 .  
Table 14.1 The ’show-post-results’ Command  
show-post-  
results  
Display results of the POST diagnostics for UPA frequency,  
UPA modules, PCI slots, memory, on board IO, etc.  
If the operating system can’t boot up while the power-on diagnostic has passed without any errors,  
check the system’s boot device. The following commands are available at the ok prompt in order to  
identify SCSI bus and SCSI devices attached.

Note that if hardware error is found during the power-on sequence, GP7000F main cabinet is power  
cycled automatically to make sure any error detected during the power-on sequence.  
If power-up processing is not performed after turning on the power switch, check to see if the AC  
main line switch is in the proper position and that the mode switch is set to SECURE.

SCF Error Messages  
LCD Display Sequence  
System problems encountered during the initial diagnostics and some hardware problems while the  
server is running are reported by messages on the LCD panel and by the status LEDs. Once the  
operating system has successfully running, it is also logged in message files, displayed on console,  
and shown by prtdiag(1M) command.  
However, if the hardware system failed to boot up because of some hardware problems, the CHECK  
LED on the operator panel indicate to found problems by blinking, and the problem can be  
identified by the LCD messages displayed on it.  
This section describes some of the error messages displayed on the LCD panel. If a hardware  
problem occurred, contact your system administrator or service engineers with the messages on the  
LCD panel or any other error indications/messages.

CHAPTER 14 Troubleshooting  
Power, fan, environmental alarms  
With a redundant configuration, if a power supply unit’s failure occurs while the system is running,  
the system will display a message on operating system and will continue to running. However, a  
message may not be displayed for a non-redundant configuration, and the system will shut down  
immediately. The same applies to the fan failure. To identify the cause of the problem, message log  
file may be useful if the system can restart. The causes of this type of event are therefore  
continuously reported on the LCD panel after the system is powered down. However, the messages  
on the LCD panel will disappear if the Main Line switch is turned off.
