Adding a CD-ROM Drive

Prerequisites

• You have contacted your HP representative to verify that the CD-ROM drive you have can be connected to the specific computer system.

• You have the appropriate cables to connect the CD-ROM drive to your system.

• The appropriate card or cards are installed and configured on your HP 3000. HP-IB devices require HP-IB cards; SCSI devices require SCSI cards.

Connecting and Configuring a CD-ROM Disk Drive

• Determining where to install the CD-ROM drive

• Using SYSGEN to configure the drive

• Power Off

• Connecting the drive

• Power On

• Rebooting the system

1. Determine where to attach the CD-ROM disk drive by identifying where the HP-IB or SCSI card is located. Note that you can daisy-chain an HP-IB CD-ROM onto an HP-IB tape drive or disk drive.

2. Determine the device number (also called HP-IB or SCSI address) for the CD-ROM drive. (The number must be unique for the cable to which it is attached.)

3. Set the device number on the back of the CD-ROM drive.

4. Log on to the system as MANAGER.SYS:

   
     :HELLO MANAGER.SYS
   
   

5. Invoke the IO configurator in SYSGEN to modify the configuration:

   
     :SYSGEN
     sysgen>IO
   
   

   Add the device:

   
     io>AD LDEV= ldev PATH= path ID= prod#
   
   

   where:

   ldev

   logical device number of the CD-ROM drive.

   path

   hardware path to the CD-ROM drive (e.g., 36.1.3 or 52.4).

   prod#

   identification number of the CD-ROM drive (i.e., for HP-IB: HPC1707A; for HP SCSI: HPA1999A; for Toshiba 3401 SCSI: CD-ROM-XM-3401TA or CD-ROM-XM-4101TA).

   SCSI Example:

   
     :SYSGEN
     sysgen> IO
        (first verify that path 52 has SCSI-DAM as PMGR)
     io> LPATH 52    ***SAMPLE DATA***
        (Add the path for the CD-ROM with a pseudo manager as
        the ID)
     io> APATH PATH=52.3 ID=PSEUDO PMGR=TRANSPARENT_MGR
        (If you have a second CD-ROM to configure, then do
        the same for the other path:)
     io> APATH PATH=52.4 ID=PSEUDO PMGR=TRANSPARENT_MGR
        (then add the devices; '.0' is appended to path
        identifier)
     io> ADEVICE LDEV=11 PATH=52.3.0 CLASS=DISC ID=HPA1999A
        LMGR=LOGICAL_DEVICE_MANAGER PMGR=SCSI_DISC_DM
        (then do the same for LDEV 12)
     io> ADEVICE LDEV=12 PATH=52.4.0 CLASS=DISC ID=HPA1999A
        LMGR=LOGICAL_DEVICE_MANAGER PMGR=SCSI_DISC_DM
   
   

6. Hold the changes you just made, exit the IO configurator, keep the new configuration, and exit SYSGEN:

   
     io> HOLD
     io> EXIT
     sysgen> KEEP CONFIG
            (Keep the changes to the current config group.
             This assumes the group name is CONFIG.SYS.)
     sysgen> EXIT
   
   

7. Shut down the computer system:

   
     CTRL A
     =SHUTDOWN
   
   

   After you see the message SHUT 6, power off the computer.

8. Connect the CD-ROM drive to the card using the path you configured.

9. Set the voltage selector switch, if necessary, on the back of the CD-ROM drive. It should be set correctly.

10. If installing a SCSI CD-ROM drive, be sure that the SCSI bus is terminated properly at each end of the bus.

11. Power on the CD-ROM drive.

12. Power on the computer and boot the system from the primary path. The boot message varies depending on the system model.

    If you system asks you to enter the boot path, enter the primary boot path.

    If your system asks "Boot from primary path?" respond Y.

    Enter Y to Interact with IPL (or ISL)? if it appears on your screen.

13. Verify the I/O configuration using ODE:

    • If you are on a 5.0 or greater system:

      
        ISL>ODE
        ODE>RUN MAPPER
      
      

      Refer to "5.3 Listing the System Configuration" in Chapter 5 "Modifying Your System" for procedural information. Also refer to the Offline Diagnostics Environment (ODE) User's Manual.

      The system displays the I/O configuration for the system. You need to check whether the CD-ROM drives have been configured correctly by seeing whether MPE/iX recognizes them. Example hardware configuration paths for HP-IB CD-ROM drives are shown below. Note the paths for your drives are likely to have different values, but the paths listed in your MAPPER output need to match the paths you entered with the AD command in the SYSGEN IO configurator.

      
                                      Type
        Path     Component Name        ID
        ----------------------------- ------
        52.3.0    CD-ROM Drive       HPA1999A
        52.4.0    CD-ROM Drive       HPA1999A
      
        ODE>EXIT
      
      

    • If you are on a 4.0 or 4.5 system:

      • Please ensure that all peripherals are powered on before you run IOMAP. If a peripheral is not powered on, it will not appear on IOMAP as an I/O component.

      • If you need information about hardware device IDs, print the file IODFAULT.PUB.SYS to your screen. This file contains ID numbers and associated parameters for hardware devices. You can display this file when the system is up and you have the system prompt.

      
        ISL>IOMAP
      
      

      The system a screen similar to:

        diagnostics.
