Preface

We wrote this manual for anyone who sets up and maintains A iiON530 and

4600 series computer system hardware. Although it addresses readers with some

computer hardware experience, you do not need knowledge of A iiON or RISC-based

computer technology to use this manual.

The first three chapters of this manual describe how to unpack, set up, and start a

basic new computer system. They cover a hardware installation sequence that ends

with you ready to install your system software. Subsequent chapters explain how to

set up and connect external mass-storage units, and how to customize operating

parameters for devices connected directly to the system board. The final six chapters

in this manual provide detailed information and illustrated instructions for replacing

failing parts and for adding mass-storage devices, expansion memory, and option

boards to an installed system. Appendixes provide technical specifications for computer

system hardware, instructions for using the System Control Monitor (SCM), and

suggestions for solving powerup problems.

NOTE: This manual does not describe how to set up or install MEbus option

boards, or the devices that connect to them. If your system includes

MEbus options, refer to Setting Up and Installing VMEbus Options in

AViiONSystems (DGC part number 014-001867) for instructions.

How We Organized This Manual

We organized the information in this manual as follows:

Describes how to connect the system console and computer unit power cord. For the

A iiON 530 series, describes how to install the monitor, keyboard, and mouse. For

systems without external mass-storage devices, explains how to terminate an internal

SCSI bus. Also describes cabling for the following optional devices:

•asynchronous devices such as a modem, serial printer, or plotter.

•local area network (LAN) transceiver.

•parallel printer.

Chapter 3 Startin and Stoppin Your Computer System

Explains how to correctly power the computer system up and down and describes

routine irmware powerup testing.

NOTE: Chapter 3 describes a irst powerup sequence to the point at which you

should install your operating system so tware. It then provides

re erences to the appropriate documentation or your next step.

Chapter 4 Settin Up and Installin a SCSI Bus

Describes how to con igure a Small Computer System Inter ace (SCSI) bus. Includes

de ault and recommended SCSI identi ication numbers, operating parameters or

individual drives, terminating rules, and cabling restrictions. Also provides

worksheets or planning a SCSI con iguration, and instructions or connecting external

SCSI devices and subsystems to the computer unit.

Chapter 5 Usin the SCM Confi uration Menus

Describes menus you can use to view or change con iguration parameters or devices

connected to the system board. Also describes changing the system automatic boot

path rom the de ault DG/UXinstallation path.

Chapter 6 Expandin and Maintainin Your Computer System

Provides general procedures you should ollow each time you add or replace an internal

system component, and describes how to respond to hardware problems. Explains how

to review system con iguration parameters, and provides instructions and worksheets

or calculating the power requirements o proposed con igurations.

Further describes how to avoid electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage while working

inside the computer unit chassis, and explains how to open and close the chassis

covers.

Chapters 7 throu h 12 Addin and/or Replacin ...

Each o these six chapters describes how to expand your system by adding a new

internal component, or maintain the system by replacing a ailed Customer

Replaceable Unit (CRU). Each re ers to Chapter 6 or prerequisite in ormation that

applies to all CRUs.

Appendix A Technical Specifications

Lists detailed physical, environmental, and electrical speci ications or base hardware

and optional components.

Appendix B Usin the System Control Monitor

Explains how to reach the system irmware and use basic SCM commands to boot,

program, and debug your system.

Appendix C Solvin Powerup Problems and

Exitin the DG/UXInstaller

Provides suggestions or resolving powerup problems such as blank screen display or

unreadable text messages. Also describes exiting routine irst powerup to test your

system hardware be ore installing the DG/UX operating system.

Reading Paths

The following reading paths explain which chapters and sections you should read and

in what order, depending on the task you need to do.

Reading Path for Setting Up a New Computer System

Review site requirements, and then unpack and inventory your system, as described in

Chapter 1. Then read Chapter 2, following those instructions that apply to your

configuration. Read Chapter 3, Starting and Stopping Your Computer System" before

you power up your new computer system.

•If your system includes external SCSI devices or subsystems, set them up as

described in Chapter 4 before continuing with the instructions in Chapter 3 to start

your system.

•If your system includes MEbus options (such as a terminal controller or

asynchronous device controller), set up and connect the appropriate devices as

described in the device-specific documentation and Setting Up and Installing

VMEbus Options in AViiONSystems. Then continue with the instructions in

Chapter 3 to start your system.

•If your system includes devices connected to the system board whose operating

parameters conflict with the defaults listed in Chapter 2 and which are required for

the first powerup, read the appropriate instructions in Chapter 5 before continuing

with the instructions in Chapter 3 to start your system.

Reading Path for Powerup Procedures or Problems

Refer to Chapter 3, Starting and Stopping Your Computer System," for a description

of the sequence your computer system undergoes when powering up normally. Refer

to Appendix C, Solving Powerup Problems and Exiting the DG/UXInstaller," for

troubleshooting suggestions. For steps to properly shut down the computer system,

refer to the last section of Chapter 3, Shutting Down the Computer System."

Reading Path for Expanding the Computer System

NOTE: To add MEbus options to your system, first verify your proposed system

configuration as described in Chapter 6; then refer to Setting Up and

Installing VMEbus Options in AViiONSystems.

Internal CRUs

An internal CRU (Customer Replaceable Unit) is any component you can install inside

the computer unit chassis. To add an internal part, follow the instructions in Chapter

6 to verify your proposed configuration and open your system; then proceed to the

appropriate chapter in this manual.
