About This Guide
General Syntax Notation
lowercase italic letters. Lowercase italic letters indicate variable items that you supply.
Items not enclosed in brackets are required. For example:
file-name
[ ] Brackets. Brackets enclose optional syntax items. For example:
TERM [\
INT[ERRUPTS]
system-name
.]$
terminal-name
A group of items enclosed in brackets is a list from which you can choose one item or
none. The items in the list may be arranged either vertically, with aligned brackets on
each side of the list, or horizontally, enclosed in a pair of brackets and separated by
vertical lines. For example:
FC [
[
[
K [ X | D ]
num
-num
text
]
]
]
address
-1
{ } Braces. A group of items enclosed in braces is a list from which you are required to
choose one item. The items in the list may be arranged either vertically, with aligned
braces on each side of the list, or horizontally, enclosed in a pair of braces and separated
by vertical lines. For example:
LISTOPENS PROCESS { $
{ $
ALLOWSU { ON | OFF }
appl-mgr-name
process-name
}
}
| Vertical Line. A vertical line separates alternatives in a horizontal list that is enclosed in
brackets or braces. For example:
INSPECT { OFF | ON | SAVEABEND }
… Ellipsis. An ellipsis immediately following a pair of brackets or braces indicates that you
can repeat the enclosed sequence of syntax items any number of times. For example:
M
address
[ - ] {0|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9}...
-1 [ ,
new-value
]...
An ellipsis immediately following a single syntax item indicates that you can repeat that
syntax item any number of times. For example:
"
s-char
..."
Punctuation. Parentheses, commas, semicolons, and other symbols not previously described
must be entered as shown. For example:
error
LISTOPENS SU $
5257/5257ACL Installation and User's Guide for NonStop Himalaya S-Series Tape Enclosures—522344-001
:= NEXTFILENAME (
process-name.#su-name

) ;
About This Guide
General Syntax Notation
Quotation marks around a symbol such as a bracket or brace indicate the symbol is a
required character that you must enter as shown. For example:
"["
repetition-constant-list
"]"
Item Spacing. Spaces shown between items are required unless one of the items is a
punctuation symbol such as a parenthesis or a comma. For example:
CALL STEPMOM (
process-id
) ;
If there is no space between two items, spaces are not permitted. In the following
example, there are no spaces permitted between the period and any other items:
$
process-name.#su-name
Line Spacing. If the syntax of a command is too long to fit on a single line, each continuation
line is indented three spaces and is separated from the preceding line by a blank line.
This spacing distinguishes items in a continuation line from items in a vertical list of
selections. For example:
ALTER [ / OUT
[ ,
attribute-spec
file-spec
]...
/ ] LINE
The following list summarizes the notation conventions for the presentation of displayed
messages in this manual.

Change bars are used to indicate substantive differences between this edition of the
manual and the preceding edition. Change bars are vertical rules placed in the right
margin of changed portions of text, figures, tables, examples, and so on. Change bars
highlight new or revised information. For example:
The message types specified in the REPORT clause are different in the COBOL85
environment and the Common Run-Time Environment (CRE).
The CRE has many new message types and some new message type codes for old
message types. In the CRE, the message type SYSTEM includes all messages
except LOGICAL-CLOSE and LOGICAL-OPEN.

The enclosures can be purchased as a base enclosure or a stackable enclosure. An ESD
rear cover will be on the back of the enclosures to protect the copper and fiber cabling.
The bottom compartment in the base enclosure needs to be left empty for stability and to
avoid physical injury to personnel during installation and operation. All tape enclosures
are configured for the NonStop Himalaya S-series server and are designed to fit both the
5257 drive and the 5257ACL drive.
Tape Enclosure Configuration
Valid configurations for the tape enclosures are:
For single enclosures, up to four 5257 drives or two 5257ACL drives can be stored.
•
Configuration can also include a combination of the 5257 drive and the 5257ACL
drive.
For two high enclosures, up to ten 5257 drives or five 5257ACL drives can be
•
stored. Configuration can also include a combination of the 5257 drive and
5257ACL drive.

5257/5257ACL Tape Drives
The 5257/5257ACL tape drives are a high performance, hi gh capacity, streaming
cartridge tape product designed for use on midrange and high-end computing syste ms.
These drives provide 110 GB of storage capacity, with transfer speeds of 11 MB/second.
In accordance with industry practice, a typical compression ratio of 2:1 is quoted. Actual
compression ratios achieved are dependent on the redundancy of data files being
recorded.
Backward Read Compatibility (BRC) Transfer
Rates
A backward read compatibility feature is available for the 5257/5257ACL drive which
allows it to read formats written on DLTtape IV type media. Transfer rates quoted are
nominal reading uncompressed data.

WARNING. Do not stack a system enclosure on a tape enclosure. The server is heavier than
the tape enclosure, and stacking it on top of the tape enclosure causes the unit to be unstable
as shown in Figure 2-8
Only the top two shelves in the base tape enclosure are usable. The bottom shelf should
remain empty. The base tape enclosure can store up to two 5257ACL drives or four
5257 drives. A combination of both drives can be stored in the enclosure. The bottom
shelf of the base tape enclosure should remain empty.
S tackable Tape Enclosur e
All three shelves in the stackable tape enclosure are usable and can have the same drive
configurations as the base tape enclosure. The stackable tape enclosure can hold up to
six 5257 tape drives or three 5257ACL drives. A combination of both drives may be
stored in the enclosure. To stack enclosures, contact your service provider . Instructions
are located in the Himalaya S-Series Service Provider Supplement.
