HP Scroll Mouse

The HP scroll mouse (USB) has a left and right button that function the same as most mice. However, it also has a scroll wheel located between the two buttons that allows for vertical scrolling in a window. Note that vertical scrolling will only occur if you are in a window’s vertical scroll bar. This scroll wheel also functions as a middle button when you press down on it. Essentially, the HP scroll mouse is a three-button mouse.

For general information on the various cursor shapes associated with different areas of HP CDE while using a mouse, see the Using Your HP Workstation document.

HP Hub for USB Devices

The HP USB hub provides you with the ability to connect more than one USB device to your computer, as well as with the ability to extend your USB device’s cable length. As an example, you may desire to locate your computer’s keyboard and mouse at a greater distance from your computer, but your keyboard and mouse cables are not long enough. To increase the cable length of your keyboard and mouse, you make use of the USB hub’s extra cable length and connect the hub’s cable to one of the two connectors on the back of your computer. You then connect the keyboard and mouse into their separate connectors on the USB hub.

HP Parallel I/O Connector

The 25-pin HP parallel I/O interface uses IEEE 1284 I/O interface protocols.

802.3 Network Connectors

Your computer has a built-in Twisted Pair (TP) connector for the 802.3 (ETHERNET) or 10 BaseT/100 BaseT network. Your computer will automatically select the correct network setting.

System Overview

Powering Up Your System

After you have connected the various parts of the computer—for details, see the B1000/C3000 Installation Sheet that came with your computer—you are ready to power up the system. At this point, there are two possibilities:

• Your computer has been “ignited;” that is, the HP’s Instant Ignition process has installed the operating system already. In this case, when you power up the computer, you will be presented with a series of questions asking you the machine’s host name, IP address, subnet mask, and other basic conﬁguration questions (see the section “Getting Required Information”). When these are answered, the CDE login screen will appear.

• Your computer has not been “ignited;” that is, the HP’s Instant Ignition process has not installed the operating system already. In this case, you will need to install the operating system from the CDs found in the HP-UX 10.20 Software for Workstations ACE media kit; for details, see the CD Booklet included with the CDs. Note that the CDs contain the HP-UX 10.20 operating system, as well as the June 1999 HP-UX 10.20 ACE bundles. The ACE bundles reside on the IPR media, and are also available from the following URL:

http://www.software.hp.com/ACE

When the operating system (HP-UX 10.20) and the HP-UX 10.20 ACE (June 1998) are both installed, you will need to answer the questions noted above for the ignited system. After the questions have been answered, the CDE login screen will appear.

Once the CDE login screen appears, and you can log in as root—initially, there is no password. When you have logged in, you will be able to create other users’ accounts and do whatever other conﬁguration and installations you require to get the machine into its desired state. See the HP CDE Getting Started Guide and the User’s Guide for instructions on typical tasks.

• Verifying the CD Drive Operation

• Conﬁguring the CD Driver

• Audio Control for the CD Drive

• CD Media Description The instructions in this chapter assume you are using the HP-UX 10.20

For information about installing or removing a CD drive, see Chapter 5 of this document.

NOTE Be sure you have read and understand the information on mounting and

unmounting CDs before you begin using your CD drive.

NOTE This chapter requires you to be superuser (root). If you cannot log in as

root, contact your system administrator.

In this chapter, the terms “CD” and “CD drive” are use rather than “CD-ROM” and “CD-ROM drive” because the CD drives used in the B1000 and the C3000 can read the original CD-ROM disks, plus CD-R disks and the newer CD-RW disks (also called “CD-RAM” because they are rewritable). Thus, since not all CDs are ROMs any longer, that portion of the term has been dropped.

Incidentally, the CD drives also are multisession-capable.

48 Chapter2

Page 49

Using Your CD Drive

CD Media Description

CDs, which can be CD-ROMs, CD-Rs, or CD-RWs, are 120mm (4.7 inches) in diameter, and use one data surface with a capacity of 600 megabytes. The data surface contains pits and ﬂat spots arranged in a continuous spiral track, which is read at a constant speed. You may access ﬁles and data stored on a CD, but you may not write ﬁles or data to a CD.

CAUTION Handle CDs by the edges only. Always be sure a CD is either in the CD

drive or its protective case when not in use. This will reduce the chance of exposing the disk surface to dust. Over time, dust reduces the reliability of the read head in the CD drive.

Caring for CDs

Observe the following guidelines to help prevent data loss and prolong the life of you CD and CD drive:

• Use CDs in a clean environment to prevent dust particles from scratching disc surfaces.

• Store CDs in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture and heat damage.

• Do not try to clean the surface of a CD with cleaning solvents, as some cleaning solvents may damage the disk.

Mounting and Unmounting a CD

This section of the chapter explains how to mount and unmount a CD using the System Administration Manager (SAM).

The procedures in this section require you to log in as root. If you cannot log in as root, contact you system administrator.

Mounting a CD Using SAM

To access your CD drive, you must mount a CD every time you insert it into the drive. This applies to CDs with ﬁle system information only. If you wish to load a music CD, for example, you would not need to mount the disk. Mounting a disk with ﬁle system information gives the disk a path name that allows your computer to communicate with it. You must unmount the CD before removing it from the drive.

To mount a CD on an HP-UX 10.20 operating system with the Workstation Additional Core Enhancements for HP-UX 10.20 (June

1999), perform the steps covered in this section.

1. Log in as root.

2. Move the mouse pointer to the Application Manager control for tools and click the left mouse button. Alternatively you can execute sam at a terminal window command prompt and skip to step 5.

SCSI Bus Differences

A Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI) bus is an IEEE standard bus for connecting your workstation to internal and external devices (SCSI devices) running at different speeds. There may be one device connected to the external SCSI port or several SCSI devices may be daisy chained together and connected to the external SCSI port. Examples of these SCSI devices are 4-mm DDS-format tape drives and hard disk drives.

There are two types of SCSI buses available with this workstation—an Ultra Narrow Single-Ended SCSI bus (NSE SCSI), and an Ultra2 Wide Low-Voltage Differential SCSI bus (LVD SCSI). The following table shows the speciﬁcation differences between these SCSI buses.

CAUTION Currently Hewlett-Packard does not support mixing Ultra Narrow

SCSI Restrictions

This section describes the SCSI restrictions that apply to your workstation in the following areas:

• Cables

• Terminators

• Number of Devices Per SCSI Bus

• Considerations for Selecting SCSI Devices

Note that the narrow single-ended SCSI bus supports only 7 devices because address 7 is reserved by the system. The Ultra2 Wide Low-Voltage Differential SCSI bus supports only 15 devices because address 7 is reserved by the system.

Cables

Only SCSI cables approved by HP can be used to connect your workstation to any SCSI devices. HP offers the following SCSI cables for Ultra Narrow Single-Ended SCSI devices:

Terminators

The terminators for Ultra2 Wide Low-Voltage Differential SCSI (LVD SCSI) and Ultra Narrow Single-Ended SCSI (NSE SCSI) are different. The NSE SCSI terminator has 50 pins and will ﬁt on a NSE SCSI connector. The LVD SCSI terminator has 68 pins and will ﬁt on a LVD SCSI connector. Note that these SCSI terminators were shipped with your system.

CAUTION It is necessary to put a terminator on unused SCSI connectors on the

back panel of the system. However, if SCSI devices are attached to the bus via these connectors, the external device connected to the SCSI bus must be terminated with a SCSI terminator. If you do not already have the SCSI terminators, you must order terminator A1658-63012 (for the 50-pin terminator; NSE SCSI) or A4986-63008 (for the 68-pin terminator; LVD SCSI) from Hewlett-Packard.

Number of Devices Per SCSI Bus

The number of SCSI devices per bus is limited (see Table 4-1). Before adding another SCSI device, determine if the system can support the additional device.

This workstation offers the following types of SCSI buses, each with their own conﬁguration constraints:

• Ultra Narrow Single-Ended SCSI bus

• Ultra2 Wide Low-Voltage Differential SCSI bus

Considerations for Selecting SCSI Devices

SCSI devices supported by the Hewlett-Packard Company for the Ultra Narrow Single-Ended (NSE) and Ultra2 Wide Low-Voltage Differential (LVD) SCSI buses have been qualiﬁed as SCSI devices which meet NSE and LVD speciﬁcations. Contact your local HP sales representative for a current list of SCSI devices supported by HP for use on the Ultra Narrow Single-Ended and Ultra2 Wide Low-Voltage Differential SCSI buses.

If devices other than those supported by HP are connected to the Ultra Narrow Single-Ended or the Ultra2 Wide Low-Voltage Differential SCSI

86 Chapter4

SCSI Restrictions

bus on this system, they must adhere to cabling, termination and bus length restrictions discussed in this chapter to assure functionality of the SCSI busses.

Because Ultra2 Wide Low-Voltage Differential SCSI is a relatively new technology, there can be products which are advertised as LVD compliant, but may not meet LVD speciﬁcations. Therefore, additional caution must be exercised when choosing Ultra2 Wide Low-Voltage Differential SCSI devices other than those supported by Hewlett-Packard Company to connect to the Ultra2 Wide Low-Voltage Differential SCSI bus on this system. For example, the cabling inside one of these devices in question may not have a differential impedance between 110 and 135 ohms and it may be constructed in a way such that the device has considerable crosstalk on critical signals, such as Reset, Select and Busy. Failure to strictly adhere to the Ultra2 Wide Low-Voltage Differential SCSI bus speciﬁcations will impact the performance of the LVD bus. The Ultra2 Wide Low-Voltage Differential interface is a much higher performance SCSI bus than previous SCSI buses and is more sensitive to adherence to the electrical speciﬁcations.

Low-voltage differential signaling speciﬁcations are described in the

SCSI Parallel Interface-2 (SPI-2) document and in the Electrical Characteristics of Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) Interface Circuits TIA/EIA-644 document. Both of these documents can be

obtained from:

SCSI Bus Length Constraints

This section discusses SCSI bus length constraints for the Ultra Narrow Single-Ended SCSI bus and the Ultra2 Wide Low-Voltage Differential SCSI bus.

Ultra Narrow Single-Ended SCSI Bus Length

The maximum cable length for an Ultra Narrow Single-Ended SCSI bus is 3 meters. The HP VISUALIZE B1000/C3000 system uses a small portion of this maximum cable length.

NOTE When calculating the total Ultra Narrow Single-Ended SCSI

cable/bus/trace length used externally, remember to account for cables connecting external devices together as well as the bus length internal to those devices.

There are two total cable length speciﬁcations that apply to the Ultra Narrow Single-Ended SCSI bus on your computer. Note that these speciﬁcations are based on the requirement that the SCSI device being connected to the NSE SCSI bus does not exceed the maximum capacitance of 25 picofarads (pF). Please check with the vendor of your SCSI device if you are not sure of your devices maximum capacitance.

Here are the total cable length speciﬁcations:

• For a total of one to four devices being connected to the NSE SCSI bus the total length of cable used should not exceed 3.0 meters.

• For a total of ﬁve to eight devices being connected to the NSE SCSI bus the total length of cable used should not exceed 1.5 meters.

Please remember that the computer is counted as one of the total devices, and the internal length of its cabling is 0.15 meters. This length needs to be considered in your total cable length determination.

SCSI Bus Length Constraints

Ultra2 Wide Low-Voltage Differential SCSI Bus Length

The maximum cable length for an Ultra2 Wide Low-Voltage Differential SCSI bus is 12 meters. The HP VISUALIZE B1000/C3000 system uses 1 meter of this maximum cable length internally. This means that up to 11 meters of cable can be used for connecting external Ultra2 Wide Low-Voltage Differential SCSI devices to this workstation.

NOTE When calculating the total Ultra2 Wide Low-Voltage Differential SCSI

cable/bus/trace length used externally, remember to account for cables connecting external devices together as well as the bus length internal to those devices.

Assigning SCSI Device IDs

Before assigning a SCSI device ID to a new SCSI device, you need to determine which SCSI device IDs are available. To view the SCSI IDs already in use, type the following command at the prompt and press Enter:

/usr/sbin/ioscan -f

After a few moments, the ioscan utility lists all of the I/O devices it could ﬁnd. The list appears similar to the following:

Assigning Ultra Narrow Single-Ended SCSI Device IDs

You can determine which Ultra Narrow Single-Ended SCSI (NSE SCSI) devices are currently in use by reviewing the output from the ioscan command discussed above and looking under the “H/W Path” heading. The entry 10/0/15/0 is the built-in Ultra Narrow Single-Ended SCSI bus. For devices connected to the built-in Ultra Narrow Single-Ended SCSI bus, such as disks, the number between the two decimals and after the third “/” in the hardware path speciﬁes the SCSI ID for that device. For example, a hardware path of 10/0/15/0.2.0 speciﬁes a NSE SCSI device at SCSI ID 2. Here is the break down of the hardware path:

SCSI device 10/0/15/0.2.0 NSE SCSI 10/0/15/0.2.0 SCSI ID 2 10/0/15/0.2.0

CAUTION Do not use SCSI device ID 7 for any device. It is reserved for the built-in

SCSI bus controller.

Assigning Ultra2 Wide Low-Voltage Differential SCSI Device IDs

You can determine which Ultra2 Wide Low-Voltage Differential SCSI (LVD SCSI) devices are currently in use by reviewing the output from the ioscan command discussed above and looking under the “H/W Path” heading. The entry 10/0/15/1 is the built-in Ultra2 Wide Low-Voltage Differential SCSI bus. For devices connected to the built-in Ultra2 Wide Low-Voltage Differential SCSI bus, such as disks, the number between the two decimals and after the third “/” in the hardware path speciﬁes the SCSI ID for that device. For example, a hardware path of 10/0/15/1.5.0 speciﬁes a LVD SCSI device at SCSI ID 5. Here is the break down of the hardware path:

SCSI device 10/0/15/1.5.0 LVD SCSI 10/0/15/1.5.0 SCSI ID 5 10/0/15/1.5.0
