Introduction
NOTE:Profile systemsoftware version 2.4must beinstalled andtested before
you install any other part of the Interface Kit. For more information, see
System Software Requirements beginning on page 2.
These instructions explain how to connect an Ampex DST 312 Tape Drive or
DST 412 Automated Cartridge Library (ACL) to a Tektronix Profile PDR204
Video File Server.
The DST 312 tape drive connects to the Profile video file server through a single
SCSI cable. Tape cartridges are manually loaded into the drive for data storage or
retrieval. If there are 64 MB of memory on both the Master and Slave EDR cards,
two DST 312 tape drives can be connected to a single Profile video file server.
➤ Important TheProfilevideofileserversupportsconnectionoftwo DST 312
Tape Drives but only one DST 412 ACL.
The DST 412 ACL consists of a tape drive and a robot system for loading and
unloading tapes from the drive. Two SCSI cables are required to connect the
DST 412: one for program data, the other for control information.
The following table outlines the tasks requiredto connect either tape system to the
Profile video file server. Each of these tasks is described in detail later in this
manual:

System Software Requirements
Version 2.4 or higher Profile System Software must be installed in the Profile
system to support the DST 312 Tape Drive or the DST 412 ACL. Version 2.4
software is included in this Software Interface field kit. Install version 2.4
software before continuing with this field kit installation. Follow the installation
and testing instructions included with the software.
To check the software version installed in your Profile system, open the VdrPanel
application and choose
displayed window.
NOTE: After you install 2.4 software, you must update the firmware of some
Profile circuit boards with an in-system programming (ISP) procedure
described in the Profile 2.4 Software Release Notes and in the Profile
Utilities chapter of the Profile Family User Manual.
Help | About VdrPanel. The software version is listed in the
Master and Slave EDR Memory Requirements
The Master Enhanced Disk Recorder (EDR) boardor Slave EDRboard must have
64 MB of I/O buffer memory installed to support the DST 312 or DST 412. Both
EDR boards must be upgraded to 64 MB of memory if you intend to connect a
second DST 312 to the Profile video file server. Also, the memory for the local
processor on the Master EDR board must be upgraded to 32 MB. If you ordered
your Profile video file server recently, the Master and Slave may already have
these upgrades.
To see the amount of memory installed on the Master and Slave EDR boards,
check the Profile log soon after a systemstart orreboot. Lookfor messagessimilar
to these:
HDIL: found 16M of RTS memory
HDIL: Found JPEG memory at c4000000, size 16 Meg
HDIL: Found JPEG memory at c6000000, size 16 Meg
HDIL: Found JPEG memory at cc800000, size 8 Meg
HDIL: Found JPEG memory at ce000000, size 16 Meg
The memory sizes listed in the Profile log example indicatethat thememory needs
to beupgraded. The local processor memory size (calledRTS in the example) and
at least the first two I/O buffer memory sizes (called JPEG in the example) should
be 32 MB. If your system does not have the required local processor memory on
the MasterEDR and the requiredI/O buffer memory on the Master or Slave EDR,
2 DST 312/412 Interface Kit Installation
Terminology
you will need to install the 32-megabyte SIMMs included in this kit. Instructions
for installing the memory are found on page 6. If you need additional 32 MB
SIMMs, contact your Tektronix representative.
Another method for checking memory is to choose
Tools | PDR Diagnostics from the Windows NT 4.0 desktop, then select Master
EDR from the left-hand side of the diagnostics screen.
Start | Programs | PDR Debug
Look in the GDB960 window that appears for a report of the different memory
sizes on the EDR board along with the I/O buffer memory sizes on both the EDR
Master and Slave. The messages appear as follows:
SRAM - base: fef80404 size: 00077b6c
PRAM - base: ee000494 size: 00077b6c
DRAM - base: fa0b36b0 size: 00e35ab0 (malloc’d)
Sizing Master JPEG Channel A Memory - Found 32 Mbytes. Memory Base
Address is 0xc4000000
Sizing Master JPEG Channel B Memory - Found 32 Mbytes. Memory Base
Addressis 0xXX000000
Sizing Slave JPEG Channel A Memory - Found 16 Mbytes. Memory Base
Addressis 0xXX000000
Sizing Slave JPEG Channel B Memory - Found 16 Mbytes. Memory Base
Addressis 0xXX000000
In this case, the Master EDR board has 490K of SRAM and PRAM memory
available and 14 Mbytes of DRAM allocated, which indicates that you need to
install a 32 MB SIMM.
If you do not need to install additional memory, skip to “Installing the SCSI
Adapter” beginning on page 10 if you are connecting a DST 412, or to “Installing
the Connecting Cables” beginning on page 10 if you are connecting a DST 312.
Terminology
In these instructions the term tapedrive is used to refer to the DST 312 tape drive,
ACL is used to refer to the DST 412 Automated Cartridge Library, and tape
system is used to conveniently refer to either the DST 312 or DST 412.
WARNING: Beforeperforming any installationor maintenance procedures,
!
be sure that:
• the rear-panel power switch is in the off position.
• the power cord is disconnected from the video disk recorder and the outlet.
