Interface Installation and Configuration

Introduction

The

98625A Disc Interface

used

conjunction with an

98620

DMA

card to connect

your

9826

9836

computer to

one

more mass storage disc drives.

The

interface

compatible with all Hewlett-Packard CS/80 disc drives including the following

7900

Series!

units:

•

7908

•

7911

•

7912

To minirnize potential difficulties,

don't

forget that:

•

The

interface contains a high-speed HP-IB controller,

and

designed specifically for disc

appllications. Because of its high data rates

and

fast signal transition times, the interface

not

suitable for use with

other

HP-IB peripherals.

• High-speed data transfers

demand

direct memory access capability; therefore, the inter-

face

cannot

used without a

DMA

card installed

the computer.

• The

10833

HP-IB chaining cables used with this interface are designed for high-

frequency applications. To ensure reliable operation,

not use any

other

cable type.

Note

The

98625

Disc Interface requires

98620

DMA

card for

operation. It

cannot

used without

DMA

capability installed in the

computer. Use only 256K-byte memory boards in combination with

the

disc interface

and

DMA

card.

This manual explains the installation procedure for the disc interface. Additional technical

information

included for use by service personnel.

new disc drives

available through new product development, the models supported by this interface may increase. Consult with

your

and

Handling the

Interface

Card

The interface card contains components that are easily damaged by static electrical discharge

caused by improper handling. To minimize the risk of component damage, the interface

shipped

a special conductive plastic bag for protection. Do not remove the interface from the

bag until

installed. When installing the interface,

sure there

no opportunity to

create a static discharge. Hold the interface by the thumbscrews

and

backplane cover while

removing

from the bag,

and

avoid touching the circuitry

the card. Touch the metal surface

the computer rear cover panel with

one

hand

and

maintain that contact while plugging the

interface into the computer with the other hand. After the interface

seated into the backplane

connector, the risk of damage

negligible. Whenever you

need

to remove the card from the

computer for service or system changes, keep the card

its protective bag to prevent compo-

nent damage,

place the interface on a work surface designed for servicing static-sensitive

electronic components

and

assemblies.

Be careful to avoid touching the printed circuit edge connector fingers

the interface. Finger-

prints promote contamination that can lead to unreliable operation. If

becomes necessary to

clean the fingers, use a cotton swab

and

isopropyl alcohol. Be sure to avoid the possibility of

electrostatic discharges while cleaning the connector fingers; both for safety,

and

to prevent

component

damage.

Interface Installation

and

Configuration 3

Installing Interface Cards in

the

1/0 Backplane

The

9826/9836

computer has eight backplane slots that can be used for interface cards,

memory boards,

and

other devices. However, only four slots can be used for interfacing to

external peripherals. The peripheral interface slots are located slightly below the threaded

fasteners that hold the interface retainer screws when the card

inserted. If you insert the

interface into the wrong slot, the thumbscrews

the interface cover cannot mate properly with

the threaded fasteners

the rear panel.

successive interfaces are installed, the remaining

slots that are available for memory or other devices are reduced by

one

for each interface

inserted.

To install the interface card, follow these steps:

Set

the configuration switches on the interface as instructed in the Configuring the Inter-

facE~

section later in this chapter.

Be sure that the computer power switch

OFF.

3. Remove

or more backplane covers to locate an empty

rearrange the memory boards as necessary. Memory boards can be installed in any slot

the backplane. Be sure

all

boards are firmly seated

their respective backplane connec-

tors before replacing the covers.

card to free

the necessary backplane space.

for information on how to identify the lowest-address memory card.

4. Slide the interface card into any available slot, component side

Seat

the card firmly

into its backplane connecter, then tighten the thumbscrews until they are finger tight. Be

5. Replace any remaining covers that were previously removed, then use

appropriate

cable to connect the interface to the first disc drive. Use HP 10833 cables to connect to

othler drives as explained later in this chapter.
