Preparing Your Workstation
Preparing Your Workstation
Before starting the upgrade, use the following procedure to prepare the
workstation:
1The workstation must be running HP-UX 10.20 or later to accommodate the
C160/C180 upgrade. If the workstation is running a version of HP-UX lower than
10.2, update the operating system software before continuing.
2Determine the workstations LAN ID with the lanscan command by entering the
following command:
/usr/sbin/lanscan
The output is similar to the following:
Hardware Station Dev Hardware Net-Interface NM Encapsulation Mjr
Path Address lu State NameUnit State ID Methods Num
2.0.2 0x08000970ECC0 0 UP lan0 UP 4 ETHER 52
After you install the new CPU board or I/O board and power on the system for
the first time, you are prompted for the LAN ID. Record the information here so
you have a record of it:
EtherLAN ID ___________________-_____________________
You must supply the dash (-) between the first six digits and the last six digits.
3Logout of your system and enter a no windows command line session as follows:
HP VUE: At the login window, select Options, then select No Windows.
HP CDE: At the login window, select Option, then select
Command Line Login.

C100_110-160_180.FB 3 Tue Jul 16 06:36:50 1996
4Next, you need to run the upgrade utility program to automatically convert the
hardware paths stored in the system’s I/O configuration file. You should only run
this utility if you are going to complete the rest of the hardware upgrade described
in this document.
Enter the following command to run the upgrade utility program:
/usr/sam/lbin/cclass_upgrade
The upgrade utility prompts you to confirm that you want to continue, as follows:
Are you ready to perform the upgrade (y/n [n] ) ?
Enter Y.
Preparing Your Workstation
The upgrade utility proceeds to modify the I/O configuration information that is
stored in the files /etc/ioconfig and /stand/ioconfig to be compatible with the
upgraded system. The original I/O configuration information is saved in the
backup file /etc/ioconfig.pre_upgrade.
If the utility detects an A4077A Color Graphics Card or an A4078A Dual Color
Graphics Card in the system, it will inform you to remove them when you perform the hardware portion of this upgrade. Systems with built-in Enhanced
Graphics adapters do not support these optional graphics adapters.
If you have a Visualize48Z (A4444A) graphics adapter installed, the utility may
ask you to identify which slot the card set is installed in. Respond with the highest numbered option slot that the graphics adapter card set resides in.
NOTICE:The cclass_upgrade utility modifies the hardware configuration so that it
is incompatible with a C100 or C110 system. After running the utility, you
must continue with this upgrade or restore the configuration information
from /etc/ioconfig.pre_upgrade to /etc/ioconfig and /stand/ioconfig.

Installing Memory Modules
Installing Memory Modules
Install the memory modules in the C160/C180 CPU board in the new main
tray, as described in the following procedure:
1Locate the memory connectors on the C160/C180 CPU board, as shown in Figure
7.
The C160/C180 CPU has 12 memory slots, labeled 0A, 0B through 5A and 5B.
The memory configuration is 32 MB to 768 MB installed in pairs of 16 MB, 32
MB, or 64 MB memory modules.
Memory modules must be installed in pairs of equal capacity.
Always install the largest capacity memory modules in the lowest numbered
memory slots and don’t skip any numbers.
For example, if you have a pair of 16 MB memory modules and a pair of 64 MB
memory modules, first install the pair of 64 MB memory modules in slots 0A
and 0B, then install the 16 MB modules in slots 1A and 1B.
Figure 7 shows the positions of the memory connectors and slot numbering on
the C160/C180 CPU board.
Table 1 shows the memory configurations for the C160/C180 workstation.
2To install a memory module, close the ejector tabs on each side of the memory
connector and line the memory module up with the guides, as shown in Figure 8.
Make sure that the notched end of the memory module is toward the white ejector
tab, or to the rear of the main tray, as shown in Figure 8.

Installing Option Boards
Installing Option Boards
NOTICE:Any option boards that are supported by the new C160/180 system should
be installed in the same slot number in the new main tray that they were
installed in the old main tray.
If you are installing a graphics adapter, read and understand the information
in the next section titled “Graphics Adapter Considerations”, before continuing. Otherwise skip to the subsection titled “Option Board Installation”.
Graphics Adapter Considerations
If you are installing a graphics option, read the information in this section
first.
Graphics Paths
graphics(0) is the built-in 8-plane graphics adapter.
graphics(1) through graphics(4) are graphics adapters installed in option
slots 1 through 4.
When a dual display graphics adapter (an adapter which has two video out-
put connectors) is installed, the video connector on the left (when looking at
the system from the rear) is graphics(NA), and the video connector on the
right is graphics(NB), where N is the slot number in which the graphics
adapter is installed.
For example, a Dual V isualize Enhanced Graphics Card (A4451A) installed
in option slot 3 would be graphics3A and graphics3B.
18
C100_110-160_180.FB 19 Tue Jul 16 06:36:50 1996
Graphics Configuration Restrictions
The system supports only four graphics displays at a time. A “display” is a
video output port or connector. For example, the Dual Visualize Enhanced
Graphics Card (A4451A) is a dual display card. It has two external video
connectors so it accounts for two of the maximum of four displays. If you
installed two of these cards, they would account for the maximum of four
displays supported by the system.
The built-in graphics adapter accounts for one graphics display (graphics0).
If four displays are installed in the option slots, the built-in graphics adapter
is automatically disabled.
You may not install a dual display graphics adapter in option slot 1 and
option slot 3 at the same time. If you do, the graphics adapter in slot 1 will be
disabled.
Installing Option Boards
You may not install a dual display graphics adapter in option slot 2 and
option slot 4 at the same time. If you do, the graphics adapter in slot 2 will be
disabled.
When a Visualize48Z (A4244A) two board graphics adapter is installed,
Only one other graphics adapter may be installed in the option slots. If the
highest numbered slot used by the Visualize 48Z board set is an even numbered slot, then you may only install a graphics card in the remaining odd
numbered slot. If the highest numbered slot used by the Visualize 48Z board
set is an odd numbered slot, then you may only install a graphics card in the
remaining even numbered slot. For example, with the Visualize 48Z board
set installed in slots 1 and 2, slot two is the highest numbered slot used and it
is an even numbered slot. Therefore you may only install an additional
graphics adapter in slot 3, which is the remaining odd numbered slot.
NOTICE:The A4077A Color Graphics Card, A4078A Dual Color Graphics Card,
A4079B HCRX-8Z graphics adapter and the A4071B HCRX-24 graphics
adapter with the A4072A Z Accelerator attached are not supported in the
Model C160/C180.
