H091381 - 9595A/8641 RAID ARRAY SYSTEMS WITH SCSI TAPE OR CD-ROMS TEXT: RAID Array systems, which have an optional CD-ROM or tape drive connected to the RAID controller adapter, may experience difficult to diagnose configuration problems if the device address is not set correctly, terminators are installed, or if other option jumpers are set incorrectly (9595A & 8641 systems). The supported optional tape drive is shipped preset as SCSI address 5. The optional CD-ROM is usually set to address 6. Use the preset address, or 4 thru 6, to avoid conflicts with addresses 0 through 3, which are reserved by the adapter firmware (RAID Controller Diskette) for fixed disks in the RAID array. There should be NO TERMINATORS on these devices when installed in these systems. Termination is preset by the DASD fixed disk support structure. Note: This restriction does not apply to devices attached to any other optional SCSI adapter, which may be installed in the system. The only tape option supported on the RAID array controller used in the 9595A is: IBM 4/10GB 4MM DAT TAPE DRIVE OPTION kit, Feature code 7499, option number 74G8632. (Note: the option number was originally 8191339 and was recently changed to 74G8632.) The FRU is P/N16G8456, which supplies only the tape drive. Note: There are currently two different tape drives which may be disbursed under FRU P/N16G8456. They are interchangeable, but have different addressing methods, as follows: Rear View of 4MM SCSI Tape Drive (Addressed by switches on the drive) _________________________________________ SCSI ID= 4 | 5 | 6 | ____________________________ | -----------|---|---- | | SCSI Connector | ___ | sw 1 X | O | X | |__________________________| |ooo| | sw 2 X | X | O | |ooo| | sw 3 O | O | O | | X= off | ______ oo _______________ | O= on | |oooo| | |8<--->4|3|2|1|<---address and | ------ | |_______|_|_|_| | configuration |_Power____|____________________________| switches | No jumpers should Switches 4 thru 8 be installed here Must be off.

A SCSI bus adapter is required between the WIDE SCSI cable and NARROW SCSI devices, such as the CD-ROM or the 4mm optional tape drive. CARE MUST BE EXERCISED WHEN THIS ADAPTER IS INSERTED INTO THE REAR OF THE TAPE UNIT TO PREVENT MIS- PLUGGING. The adapter is keyed, however some tape drives have connectors that do not have the corresponding keyway. This allows the adapter to be mis-plugged one pin position, either direction. Mis-plugging one direction has been known to cause the systems to shut down (power supply self-protect). When this condition is corrected the system power supply will operate normally. (Power supply self-protect is explained on page 290 of the PS/2 Hardware Maintenance Manual S52G-9971-01, dated Sept, 1993.) Mis-plugging in the other direction has been know to cause the device to be unrecognized (configuration failures). +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Rear View of Later version of 4MM SCSI DAT Tape Drive (Addressed by jumpers on the drive) _________________________________________ SCSI ID| Pins jump'd | | -------|------------ | ID and Option jumpers 4 | 5&6 | | ___________ | 5 | 5&6 |1&2 | 15|..... ...|1 | 6 | 5&6 |3&4 | 16|.........|2 | | ============= =============== ____ | | | SCSI Signal Cable Connector| |oooo|<--Power | ============================== ------ | connnector |_______________________________________| Feature | Pins jumpered ---------------------------|----------------- Terminator power on | 15 & 16 N/A | 13 & 14 Active terminator enabled | 11 & 12 Data Compression enabled | 9 & 10 (Off, unless clearly required) A feature jumpering information label is on the on the unit.
