Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions
Electrostatic discharges (static electricity) can damage the integrated
circuits on printed circuit boards and other internal devices. To prevent
such damage from occurring, observe the following precautions during
board unpacking and installation:
• Stand on a static-free mat.
• Wear a static strap to ensure that any accumulated electrostatic
charge is discharged from your body to ground.
• Connect all equipment together, including the static-free mat, static
strap, routing nodes, and peripheral units.
• Keep uninstalled printed circuit boards in their protective antistatic
bags.
• Handle printed circuit boards by their edges, once you have removed
them from their protective antistatic bags.

1 System Overview
This chapter introduces the HP VISUALIZE J5000 and J7000 computers.
Its purpose is to familiarize you with your computer and its controls and
indicators.

System Overview
System Requirements
System Requirements
The HP VISUALIZE J5000 and J7000 computers are similar in may ways,
but the main way in which they differ is the number of processors: the
J5000 has two, and the J7000 has four. In addition to the label on the
front of the machine, you can also determine which machine you have by
counting the processors on the motherboard. Each one is cooled by a
cylindrical heat sink (a “turbocooler”) with dozens of airflow slots and an
integrated fan. The illustration below shows the two turbocoolers (and
hence two processors) of the J5000’s motherboard; the J7000 has four:

Instructions in this chapter assume that you are using the HP-UX 10.20
operating system with the Workstation Additional Core Enhancements
for HP-UX 10.20 (June1999). The J5000 requires just these two software
components; the J7000 may require an additional software component,
to be shipped when the J7000 itself is shipped.

System LCD
The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) is located on the left side of the front
panel. The LCD displays messages about the state of the system,
including error codes (see “LCD-Indicated Problems” in the
Troubleshooting chapter for more details). The following symbols appear
in the LCD, representing the different system activities shown:

System Power Switch
The power switch is used to turn the system unit on and off. The
workstations have a “soft power down” feature that shuts the system
down in a controlled manner. Hitting the power switch is identical to
logging in as root, and executing shutdown -q. Note that a soft power
down does not occur if you disconnect the power cord on the machine, or
if you disengage the power supply (by removing the interlocked
thumbscrew on the rear panel of the chassis).

Removable-Media Devices
Depending on your configuration, you can have a CD drive and your
choice of either a DDS tape drive or a floppy diskette drive.
NOTE You cannot have two of the same type of internal mass-storage device.
That is, you cannot have two CD drives, two floppy drives, or two DDS
drives, but you can have a CD drive and a floppy drive or a CD drive and
a DDS drive (you cannot have both a floppy drive and a DDS drive).
A description of each drive’s controls and indicators is in the chapter
describing that device, later in this document.

NOTE The upper-left thumbscrew (as seen from the back) is interlocked with
the power supply: loosening that screw disengages the power,
minimizing the shock danger while servicing. Make sure the interlocked
screw is firmly tightened when closing the unit, or the power supply
might still be disengaged.

Turning the power off with the power switch executes a clean shutdown,
but disengaging the power supply does not, so remember to power down
with the power switch!
Audio Connectors
Your computer has audio input and -output capability through an
internal speaker, as well as external input and output connectors on the
rear panel (see diagram of entire rear panel above, plus the close-up of
the audio connectors, below). The sound is 16-bit, 44kHz (CD-quality)
stereo sound.

The audio connectors are standard stereo audio mini-jacks.
Hewlett-Packard recommends using gold-plated plugs available through
audio retailers for the best quality recording and playback through the
external connectors.

Keyboard Connectors
The two USB connectors provide an interface for the keyboard and
mouse to the system (either connector can be used for either device).
Consult the documentation that accompanies each input device for
specific information concerning its use. Note that older non-USB
keyboards (PS-2 and HP-HIL keyboards) cannot be used with the J5000
and J7000.

HP Parallel I/O Connector
The 25-pin HP Parallel I/O interface uses Centronics interface protocols
to support peripheral devices such as printers and plotters. Consult the
documentation that accompanies each peripheral device for specific
information concerning its use.
802.3 Network Connectors
Your computer has built-in TP (Twisted Pair) connectors for the 802.3
(ethernet) or 100 BaseT network. Connections to ThinLAN networks
require an external transceiver. Your computer will automatically select
the correct network setting.

System Overview

RS-232C Serial Input/Output Connectors
You can attach peripheral devices to the RS-232C Serial Input/Output
(SIO) ports on this computer. Peripheral devices include printers,
plotters, modems, and scanners. Consult the documentation that
accompanies each pointing or peripheral device for specific information
concerning its use.
The SIO ports are programmable; that is, you can choose attributes such
as bit rate, character length, parity, and stop bits either by selecting the
corresponding device file (in /dev), or by using SAM (the System
Administration Manager). The SIO ports are used as an interface for
serial asynchronous devices to the CPU. The ports operate at up to a
115.2Kbaud rate.
The table below shows the SIO connector pin listings. The serial
connectors are 9-pin D-sub connectors. Signal names are those specified
in the EIA RS-232 standard.

SCSI Connectors
Use the Narrow Single-Ended SCSI connector and/or the Wide LVD
(Low-Voltage Differential) SCSI connectors to connect external SCSI
devices such as hard disk drives, optical disk drives, DDS-format tape

drives and CD-ROM drives. Consult the documentation that
accompanies each SCSI device for specific information concerning its use.
Refer to the appendix “SCSI Connections” for information about
connecting SCSI devices to your computer.
WARNING Do not attach FWD SCSI devices to the LVD SCSI port, or
damage will occur.
NOTE When attaching external SCSI devices, be sure to terminate the last
device on each external SCSI bus. The terminators are included in a
small plastic bag that was shipped with your machine. Before powering
up your computer, make sure that the last external SCSI device in each
SCSI chain has a terminator.
If you have no external SCSI devices, install the terminators directory on
the connectors on the rear panel of the computer.
Power Cord Connectors
Plug the workstation’s power cord into the power cord connector to
provide AC power to the system. Note that the HP VISUALIZE J5000 and
J7000 have different types of power cords, because of their differing
power requirements:
Figure 1-6 Power Connectors
The power connector on the left is used on the J5000 (notice that it is a
keyed connector, requiring a 15-amp circuit), and the one on the right is
used on the J7000 because of its greater power demand (20 amps).

Keyboard and Mouse
Keyboard and Mouse
At this printing, only the HP three-button USB mouse is supported as a
pointing device for the J5000 and J7000.
For general information on using three-button mice and on the various
cursor shapes associated with different areas of HP CDE while using a
mouse or other pointing device, see Using Your HP Workstation. Other
supported USB devices are the HP USB keyboard and HP USB hub.
Since the only USB devices supported at this time are keyboards and
mice, the USB hub’s main purpose is currently that of an “extension
cord” to allow a greater distance between the keyboard/mouse and the
computer.
The mouse and keyboard can be plugged into either USB port on the
back of the computer.
