About This Book ix

x 7133 Operator Guide
 Chapter 1. Using the Subsystems
This chapter describes the 7133 Serial Storage Architecture (SSA) Disk Subsystems, their
controls, and how to use them.

Rack-Mounted Unit Configurations

| 7133 Models 010 and 020 SSA Disk Subsystems are rack-mounted SSA disk storage
subsystems that can be attached to reduced instruction-set computing (RISC) systems.
Up to 16 SSA disk drive modules, in groups of up to four, can be installed in a
| Model 010 or 020 subsystem.

Each group of disk drives in a 7133 subsystem is connected in a loop that must also
contain an SSA adapter. An SSA loop can also contain other groups of disk drives and
additional SSA adapters. The rules for connecting SSA loops and details of simple
| configurations are described in the 7133 Models 010 and 020: Installation Guide.

| With a 7133 Model 010 or 020, an SSA Fibre-Optic Extender feature can be installed.
| This allows the 7133 unit to be connected by fiber optic cables to host systems or other
| SSA units up to 2.4 km (7874 feet) away.

| A fully configured 7133 Model 010 or 020 SSA Disk Subsystem looks like this:

D is k d riv e m o d u le s

| The whole of later-type front covers hinge downward to give access to the disk drive
| modules installed at the front of 7133 units. Early covers have a movable panel that
| hinges downward.

Chapter 1. Using the Subsystems 1-1

 Deskside Unit Configurations
| 7133 Models 500 and 600 SSA Disk Subsystems are deskside SSA disk storage
subsystems that can be attached to reduced instruction-set computing (RISC) systems.
Up to 16 SSA disk drive modules, in groups of up to four, can be installed in a
| Model 500 or 600 subsystem.

Each group of disk drives in a 7133 subsystem is connected in a loop that must also
contain an SSA adapter. An SSA loop can also contain other groups of disk drives and
additional SSA adapters. The rules for connecting SSA loops and details of simple
| configurations are described in the 7133 Models 500 and 600: Installation Guide.

| With a 7133 Model 500 or 600, an SSA Fibre-Optic Extender feature can be installed.
| This allows the 7133 unit to be connected by fiber optic cables to host systems or other
| subsystem units up to 2.4 km (7874 feet) away.

| A fully configured 7133 Model 500 or 600 SSA Disk Subsystem looks like this:

D is k d riv e m o d u le s

The front and back covers hinge to the left to give access to the disk drive modules
installed behind them. Locks are provided on the covers to prevent unauthorized access
to the disk drive modules and system connections.

1-2 7133 Operator Guide

 Controls and Lights
This section describes the Power switch and lights on a 7133 subsystem.

If you leave the 7133 Power switch set to on, power within a 7133 subsystem is turned on
and off automatically:
|
For a Model 010 or 020, when you turn power on and off to the rack containing the
subsystem
|
For any 7133 model, if it has the Remote Power On Control feature installed, when
you turn power on and off to your system unit.

| During normal operations, you do not need to check the lights on 7133 subsystems.

Subsystem Controls
Each 7133 unit has the subsystem Power switch and subsystem lights at the front.

| On a Model 010 or 020, the Power switch is behind a flap on the front cover. To reach
the switch:
| On a Model 010, hinge the flap upward,
| On a Model 020, hinge the flap to the right.

 Power switch |/
The Power switch controls electrical power from the power-supply units within
the 7133 subsystem to the disk drives and other components. To connect this
| internal electrical power, press the Power switch and, on a Model 010 or a
| Model 500 only, hold it pressed for at least two seconds. To remove this
| power, press the switch again and, on a Model 010 or a Model 500 only, hold
it pressed for at least two seconds.
When you have pressed this switch to remove the internal power and the
subsystem power light is off, mainline electrical power can still be present
within the 7133 subsystem. To remove electrical power completely from the
subsystem, disconnect the mainline electrical supply.
| Attention: Pressing this switch when the subsystem power light is on can
cause a system fault unless you first make the disk drives within the 7133
unavailable to the operating system. To do this:
1. Use the system-management task menus of the operating system to make
the disk drives unavailable to the system.
2. If the 7133 subsystem is connected to more than one adapter, make the
disk drives unavailable to the system or systems for each of the paths to
the subsystem.
Subsystem Power light
The Subsystem Power light, which is green, comes on when the power-supply
units within the 7133 subsystem are supplying power to the rest of the
subsystem.
Subsystem Check light
The Subsystem Check light, which is amber, comes on:

Continuously, if a failure occurs within the 7133 subsystem. The
subsystem might be able to continue operating satisfactorily even when the
failure of a single part has been detected.

Continuously, when a disk drive within the subsystem is in service mode
(see step 7 on page 1-11).

Flashing, when a disk drive within the subsystem has been selected with
the identify option (see “Identifying a Subsystem or Disk Drive Module” on
page 1-9).

| b. Select Set/Reset Service Mode in this menu. (For some severe errors, this might
| cause an error message to appear; ignore this message.) The Check light on the
| disk drive module (and the Subsystem Check light at the front of the 7133 unit)
should now be on and remain on. The disk drive is in service mode.
You can now change the disk drive module, using the steps described in “To Change
a Disk Drive Module” on page 4-3.
| If the Check light is not on, you cannot change the disk drive module; call your service
| representative and report the problem.
Only one disk drive can be in service mode at a time.

When you have finished using the service aid, select Set/Reset Identify or Set/Reset
Service Mode again. This turns off the Check light on the disk drive module and, if the
disk drive was in service mode, releases the disk drive for use by the system programs.

Security
To protect your subsystem from unauthorized access, locks are provided on the covers of
deskside units and are available as accessories to secure individual disk drive modules.

Disk Drive Module Locks

Disk drive module locks prevent the unauthorized removal of disk drive modules from
either rack-mounted units or deskside units. You need one lock for each disk drive
module that you want to secure.

To lock a disk drive module into a unit:

1. Put the lock into the space in the handle of the disk drive module.
2. Put the end of the key into the lock.
3. Turn the key half a turn clockwise.

Three keys, that fit all locks, are supplied with the first lock that you order. Keep at least
one of these keys in a secure area.

1-12 7133 Operator Guide

 Deskside Unit Cover Locks
| On the Models 500 and 600, locks on the front and back covers provide physical security
for the drives and the connections to the system unit. You do not need to remove these
covers during normal operations. The two locks use the same key. If you lock the covers,
neither of them can be opened for servicing without the use of the key. You do not need
to lock the covers for them to stay closed.

L oc k

Ordering Cover-Lock Keys

For protection against unauthorized key duplication, the cover locks are high-security
locks. Keys for these locks are a factory-restricted series and duplicate keys are not
available through normal commercial channels. The serial number of the lock is stamped
on each key; make a note of this number. The additional key supplied and your note of its
number should be stored in separate secure areas.

Make a copy of the official order form on page 1-14, fill in the details, and send it to the
address printed on the form. As a security precaution, the manufacturer will not honor
orders that are not on the official order form.

If a lock becomes faulty, contact your sales representative for a replacement.

Chapter 2. Adding Features
This chapter describes how to add certain optional features to a 7133 SSA Disk
Subsystem that is already installed as part of your system.

Adding Disk Drive Modules

In some circumstances, you can add one or more disk drive modules to a 7133 SSA Disk
Subsystem.

You can do this only if:

1. You are authorized by your organization to do this.
2. You have the correct disk drive module. Only disk drive modules that have a red
panel on the front can be installed in 7133 units. The storage capacity of a disk drive
module is shown on the label at the front of the module:

R ed

C a p a c ity

Attention

Do not remove two disk drive modules from the subsystem at the same time.

Disk drive modules are fragile. Handle them with care. Keep them well away from
strong magnetic fields.

If you are adding a disk drive module at the back of a 7133 unit for the first time,
there must be three fan-and-power-supply assemblies installed in the unit, rather
than two fan-and-power-supply assemblies and a dummy fan-and-power-supply
assembly. “Adding a Fan-and-Power-Supply Assembly” on page 2-8 describes
how to add the third fan-and-power-supply assembly.

You do not need to remove power from the subsystem when adding a disk drive module.

After you have added a disk drive module to a 7133 unit, you must add it into your system
software configuration by using the system programs.

Chapter 2. Adding Features 2-1

 Before Adding a Disk Drive Module
1 If you are adding the first disk drive module to be installed at the back of a 7133
| Model 010 or Model 500 unit – Stop. Check that there are three
fan-and-power-supply assemblies installed in the 7133 unit (see step 2 on
page 2-9). If there are only two fan-and-power-supply assemblies and a dummy
fan-and-power-supply assembly installed, exchange the dummy
fan-and-power-supply assembly for a third fan-and-power-supply assembly before
installing the disk drive module. “Adding a Fan-and-Power-Supply Assembly” on
| page 2-8 describes how to do this. 7133 Model 020 and Model 600 units always
| have three fan-and-power-supply assemblies installed.

| 2 Identify the slot for the new disk drive module using the configuration planning
| information for your system. There should be a dummy disk drive module in the
| slot.
| You can identify the disk drive modules that will be next to the new disk drive
| module by using the Set Service Mode service aid. (“Identifying a Subsystem or
| Disk Drive Module” on page 1-9 describes how to use this aid.) You cannot use the
| Set Service Mode service aid to identify the dummy disk drive module itself because
| dummy disk drive modules do not have lights or serial-number labels.

| 3 Open the front cover of the unit by:

|
For units with early covers, gripping the movable part of the cover at the sides
| and hinging it downward.
|
For units with later covers, gripping the cover at the sides and hinging the whole
| front cover downward.

E a rly C o v e rs L a te r C o v e rs

2-2 7133 Operator Guide

 If the slot for the new disk drive module is in a deskside unit, open the front or back
cover of the unit by:
a. If necessary, unlocking the cover using the key provided.
b. Gripping the right-hand edge of the cover and hinging it to the left.

The illustrations in the following instructions show a rack-mounted unit. The steps for
adding a disk drive module to a deskside unit are the same, but the parts are turned
through 90 degrees.

To Add a Disk Drive Module

1 Press upward behind the red panel and pull the handle of the dummy disk drive
module. This action moves the module partly out of the slot.

R ed

Chapter 2. Adding Features 2-3

 2 Pull the dummy module out of the 7133 unit.

Attention
Do not leave the slot empty for more than 30 minutes; if you do, the 7133 unit
and the disk drive modules within it might overheat and be damaged.

3 With one hand supporting the new module, engage it in the groove and push it into
the slot from which you have just removed the dummy module.
The module stops before it is completely into the slot.

2-4 7133 Operator Guide

4 Close the handle of the module until it shuts with a click. This action pulls the
module completely into the slot.

5 Push on the front of the module to ensure that the module is fully home.

6 Check that all three lights come on immediately and the check light goes out after
approximately 2 seconds. (If this does not happen, after checking that the new
module is properly installed, restart the diagnostic programs to analyze the new
fault.)

Chapter 2. Adding Features 2-7

 Adding a Fan-and-Power-Supply Assembly
| If your 7133 Model 010 or Model 500 SSA Disk Subsystem has only two
fan-and-power-supply assemblies installed, you must add a third fan-and-power-supply
assembly before installing disk drive modules at the back of a 7133 unit. If your 7133 unit
has disk drive modules installed only at the front, you can add a third
fan-and-power-supply assembly to provide increased protection against the chance of
losing access to your disk drive modules should a fan-and-power-supply assembly
| become faulty. 7133 Model 020 and Model 600 units always have three
| fan-and-power-supply assemblies installed.

You can only add a fan-and-power-supply assembly if:

You are authorized by your organization to do this.

You have the correct fan-and-power-supply assembly.

You do not need to remove power from the subsystem when adding a
fan-and-power-supply assembly.

2-8 7133 Operator Guide

Before Adding a Fan-and-Power-Supply Assembly
1 If you are going to add a fan-and-power-supply assembly to a deskside unit, open
the back cover of the unit by:
a. If necessary, unlocking the cover using the key provided.
b. Gripping the right-hand edge of the cover and hinging it to the left.

2 Identify the space for the new fan-and-power-supply assembly:

The left-hand (bottom) position contains either a fan-and-power-supply assembly
or a dummy fan-and-power-supply assembly.
A fan-and-power-supply assembly has a socket for the mainline power plug;
a dummy fan-and-power-supply assembly has two spaces for holding spare
power plugs. The following instructions describe how to replace a dummy
fan-and-power-supply assembly in this position with a fan-and-power-supply
assembly.

F a n -a n d p o w e r-s u p p ly a s s e m b ly D u m m y fa n -a n d p o w e r-s u p p ly a s s e m b ly

There are always fan-and-power-supply assemblies in the right-hand (top) and

middle positions.

To Add a Fan-and-Power-Supply Assembly

The illustrations in the following instructions show a rack-mounted unit. The steps for
adding a fan-and-power-supply assembly to a deskside unit are the same, but the parts
are turned through 90 degrees.

Chapter 2. Adding Features 2-9

 1 Remove the unused power plug from the space in the front of the dummy
fan-and-power-supply assembly. Unclip the dummy fan-and-power-supply assembly.

2 Pull the dummy fan-and-power-supply assembly from the unit and discard it.

Attention
Do not leave the space empty for more than 30 minutes; if you do, the 7133 unit
and the disk drive modules within it might overheat and be damaged.

| Chapter 3. Moving a Model 500 or 600 Deskside Unit Safely
Attention: Damage as a result of improper handling may void your equipment warranty.
Contact your service representative to obtain packing materials or assistance to prepare
your unit for moving.

| You should not try to move a 7133 Model 010 or 020 rack-mounted unit yourself. Always
contact a trained service representative to do this for you.

If you want your system or deskside unit moved, you should contact a trained service
| representative. However, if you decide to move a Model 500 or 600 unit yourself, you
should take the following precautions.
Note: For a translation of the following notices, see the Safety Information manual,
SA23-2652.

DANGER

An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage
on metal parts of the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is
the responsibility of the customer to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired
and grounded to prevent an electrical shock.

Use one hand, when possible, to connect or disconnect signal cables to

prevent a possible shock from touching two surfaces with different electrical
potentials.

During an electrical storm, do not connect cables for display stations,

printers, telephones, or station protectors for communication lines.

| Attention: Ensure that the system is not using any of the devices within the 7133 before
you begin to move it, otherwise data loss can occur.

| To move a 7133 Model 500 or 600 deskside unit:

1. Turn power off from the 7133.
2. Unplug the 7133 from the mainline power outlet.
3. Ensure that all of the cables connected to the back of the 7133 are properly labeled at
both ends before you unplug them.
4. Unplug the SSA cables from the SSA adapter in the system unit.

Chapter 3. Moving a Model 500 or 600 Deskside Unit Safely 3-1

 5. Pull or push the 7133 to its new location. When pulling, use the finger slots.

F in g e r s lo ts

| CAUTION:
| A 7133 Model 500 or 600 weighs 58.5 kg (129 lb) empty, and approximately 72.5
kg (160 lb) with 16 disk drives installed. Do not attempt to lift the 7133.
6. Because removing the power cable is the means of disconnecting mainline power
from the 7133 unit, in the location you are moving to, ensure that the power outlet is
located near the equipment and is easily accessible. Check the power outlet for
correct wiring, voltage, and grounding before attaching the 7133 unit or the system
unit.
7. Connect the SSA cables to the SSA adapters in the system unit and to the 7133 unit.
8. Plug the 7133 power cable into the mainline power outlet.

 Chapter 4. Dealing with Problems
This chapter describes what to do if you have a problem with a 7133 SSA Disk
Subsystem, how to change a faulty disk drive module or fan-and-power-supply assembly,
and what information to provide when you report a problem with a 7133 SSA Disk
Subsystem or a device installed in it.

Starting to Deal with Problems

The Problem Solving Guide and Reference, SC23-2204, is the first book you should use
when you have a problem with your system. It contains the procedure for deciding
whether the problem is hardware or software related.

If you have a problem with a 7133 SSA Disk Subsystem, see the operator guide for your
system for a description of what to do.

For some problems, your system diagnostics tell you to check the lights on the subsystem
| to discover which part, if any, has a fault, and “Controls and Lights” on page 1-3 of this
book shows the position of the lights. The diagnostic programs tell you what to report to
your service representative. (“Reporting Problems” on page 4-15 describes other
information you should report.)

Changing Disk Drive Modules

In some circumstances, you can change a faulty disk drive module without the assistance
of a service representative. You can do this only if:

You are authorized by your organization to do this.

You have the correct disk drive module. Only disk drive modules that have a red
panel on the front can be installed in 7133 units. The storage capacity of a disk drive
module is shown on the label at the front of the module:

R ed

C a p a c ity

Chapter 4. Dealing with Problems 4-1

 Attention

Do not remove two disk drive modules from the subsystem at the same time.

Disk drive modules are fragile. Handle them with care. Keep them well away from
strong magnetic fields.

You do not need to remove power from the subsystem when changing a disk drive
module.

After you have changed a disk drive module in a SSA Disk Subsystem, you must restore it
into your system using the system programs.

Before Changing a Disk Drive Module

1 Check the Service Request Number (SRN) given by the system diagnostic
programs.
If the SRN is in the following list, it means that a disk drive module has a fault that
can be corrected by exchanging the disk drive module for a new one:
Any SRN whose first character is ‘1’
6'21'
D'1''
D'3''
If the SRN is not in the list, do not change the disk drive module; call your
service representative and report the problem.
If the SRN is in the list, continue at the next step.

| 2 Find the failing disk drive module by using:

| a. The location code supplied by the system diagnostic programs through the
| service aids.
| b. The Set Service Mode service aid (“Identifying a Subsystem or Disk Drive
| Module” on page 1-9 describes how to use this aid).
| The service aid also describes the storage capacity of the failing disk drive
| module. Always replace a disk drive module with one of the same capacity.

| 3 Put the failing disk drive module into service mode; step 7 on page 1-11 describes
| how to do this.

4 Check the lights on this disk drive module. (“Disk Drive Module Lights” on page 1-5
describes where these are and how to see them.)
If the check light is not on, you cannot change the disk drive module; call your
service representative and report the problem.
| If the check light is on, change the disk drive module using the procedure starting on
| page 4-3.

4-2 7133 Operator Guide

 To Change a Disk Drive Module
