Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION

This chapter gives an introduction to the ND-5000 ES C models.

1.1 System description

The new ND-5000 ES Model C replaces the current ND-5000 Compact. It covers the low/medium end of the ND-5000 systems and is meant to be used as general departmental systems and servers for installations that are not too large.

It has the same cabinet as the previous version, except for the front cover. The interior, however, is completely new. It consists of a large card crate, into which all cards and devices (including the new power supply, the fan unit, disks, floppy units and streamer units) can be plugged. The backwiring is located in the middle of the card crate, and cards and devices are plugged in from both the front and the rear sides.

The new ND-5000 ES Model C is available with all ND-5000 CPU versions, including ND-5800.

See the table on page 2 for an overview of the various systems available.

1.3 Upgrading possibilities

Full upgrading is possible between the ND-5000 ES Model C systems:

  • Upgrading between models, for example upgrading an ND-5200 Model C1 to an ND-5200 Model C5.
  • Upgrading between systems, for example upgrading an ND-5200 to an ND-5700.

Note that extra memory boards are not included in the upgrading kits, and must therefore be ordered separately.

Chapter 2: Physical Description

2.1.2 Fan Tray

The cooling is based on the same principle as the previous ND-5000 Compact. The fans are located in a fan tray pluggable from the bottom of the front into the backwiring (see figure 4). The fans are the DC type, with an extra wire for indicating the rotation speed. The power for the fans is supplied by the DC 500 power supply, and the voltage is controlled by software and the ambient temperature. The input to the fan speed control comes from an NTC resistor which senses the room temperature. This sensor is mounted at the top of the backwiring, close to the air inlet.

NOTE

Note that you must turn the power off 
before removing or inserting the fan 
tray.

2.1.3 Operator Panel

The operator panel and key switch are located at the top of the front (see figure 4). It is similar to the operator panels on previous ND computers, but the display has been removed. The information that earlier could be read from the display is still available, but you must connect a maintenance display to get it (see page 42). The operator panel is connected to the backwiring via a flat cable along the top of the cabinet.

Chapter 2 Physical Description

2.1.4 Backwiring

The backwiring acts as the main connection between all internal modules. All cards and devices are plugged directly into the backwiring, including the power supply and the fan tray.

The backwiring also contains:

  • Temperature sensor (regulating the fan speed)
  • Connector for the operator panel
  • An area where it is possible to measure the voltages
  • Terminator/strap fields for the SCSI bus
  • Switches for splitting the SCSI bus

The backwiring is prepared for taking care of the internal SCSI bus. This bus has been routed to all internal SCSI devices, and it ends up on the plugboard in position 14. Here the bus can be terminated, or one external single-ended SCSI device can be connected. This could, for example, be a magtape unit used for backup.

Normally all devices on the SCSI bus can be accessed from ND-100, but the strap/terminator fields and the split switches on the backwiring make it possible to split the SCSI bus. See the description in the section "SCSI bus" on page 14.

Two different versions of the backwiring are used:

  • PCB number 5812 for early versions
  • PCB number 5816 for later versions

The difference between these two backwirings is the possibility to split the bus with


Page 21

Chapter 2 Physical Description

straps/terminators and split switches. See the illustrations of the backwirings (figure 5 and figure 6) and the description in the section "The SCSI bus" on page 14.

Unused SCSI positions must be terminated by a dummy plug, part number 322774.

2.1.4.1 SCSI Bus

The SCSI (Small Computer Systems Interface) standard is used for connecting mass storage devices to the computer. A maximum of eight units can be connected to one bus (including the ND-100 SCSI controller).

On the ND-5000 ES Model C, the backwiring takes care of the internal SCSI bus. This bus has been routed to all internal SCSI devices (streamer and disks), and it ends up on the plugboard in position 14 (see figures 7 and 8).

Here the bus can be terminated, or one external single-ended SCSI device can be connected. This could, for example, be a magtape unit used for backup.

To be able to separate the different SCSI units from each other, each unit connected to the SCSI bus must have its own SCSI identification number (ID number). These numbers are 0-7, and they are set by switches or straps on each device or board.

ID number Device See page
0 Disk A (system disk) 31
*) 1 Streamer or ND Gigatape 32
2 Optional external SCSI device
3 - 6 Free (Disk B-E) 31
7 ND-100 Floppy and SCSI controller 39

*) SCSI ID number 1 is reserved for the device used for system disk backup.


Page 25

Chapter 2 Physical Description

All devices on the SCSI bus are normally accessed from the ND-100, but there are several possible ways to split the access to the SCSI devices. This is done with strap fields and split switches in the backwiring (see figure 5 and figure 6) and a flat cable on the System plugboard - 5259 (see figure 22).

On the next pages we show three different examples of how to do this on both versions of the backwiring.

Chapter 2 Physical description

This can be done as described below:

  • An MF bus SCSI controller card must be placed in MF bus position 8 in the card crate (positions 5, 6 or 7 may also be used, but then you must use an extra plugboard in the backwiring and a flat cable).
  • The strap fields in the backwiring must be set as shown in the figure on the next page.
  • The split switches in the backwiring must be as shown in the figure on the next page.
  • The flat cable on the System plugboard must be connected as shown in the figure on the next page.
  • The SCSI plug on the System plugboard must be terminated, or an external SCSI device must be connected. Then the SCSI bus must be terminated on the external device.
  • Empty SCSI positions must be equipped with dummy plugs, part number 322774.

2.1.6.4 ND Gigabyte System

This is an optional tape system that uses 8 mm cartridge tapes and can store up to 2.2 Gbytes of data on one cartridge. The tape system uses a standard SCSI interface, and the drive is 5 1/4" high. When installed on models C1-C4, it is located in the upper right corner where disk B is normally located (see figure 16). When installed on model C5, it is mounted in a separate box.

The drive is mounted on a board and is therefore very easy to replace: - Turn off the power, remove the two screws holding the board and pull it out.

When replacing a unit, you must check that the switchsetting on the new unit is correct (see the figure below).

2.1.7 Power Supply

The new DC500 and DC501 power supplies are equipped with a microprocessor. Voltages, currents and the fan speed can be monitored and adjusted via a terminal or via TELEFIX.

The power supply also checks that all fans in the fan tray are running.

A temperature sensor, mounted on the top of the backwiring, checks the temperature inside the cabinet. If the temperature increases, the power supply feeds the fans a higher voltage to increase the fan speed, and that reduces the temperature.

The power supply has the following capacities:

Voltage Amperes
+ 5 Volts 150 Amperes
+ 5 Volts standby 8 Amperes (DC501: 12 Amperes)
+12 Volts 18 Amperes (25 Amp. peak to start up disks)

It is not necessary to perform any maintenance or adjustments on the power module. If the module is defective, it must be replaced.

The power supply is the plug-in type and is therefore easy to replace: Turn the key switch on the operator panel to OFF and turn the power off. Disconnect the two cables from the power supply, unscrew the two screws holding the power supply and pull it out.

2.1.8 Boards

This section describes new boards that are unique to the ND-5000 ES Model C, controllers or plugboards. Other ND-100 cards and cards in the MF bus are not described here, since they are described in other manuals.

Plugboards are plugged into the backwiring from the rear of the cabinet, and this means the computer is almost cable-free.

Some of the plugboards are delivered with every system, while others are optional depending on the model and configuration.

The purpose of this brief description is to show the plugs and switches on the boards.

8-terminal plugboards

There are two different types of plugboards for the 8-terminal interface:

  • PCB 5261 (8-terminal plugboard) is plugged into the backwiring from the rear side, normally in position 1. Because of the size of the plugboard, it is not possible to plug other plugboards into position 2. Up to eight terminals can be connected to this plugboard.

    This board is normally used when eight or fewer terminals are connected.

  • PCB 5262 (Plugboard for external panel) is plugged into the backwiring from the rear side in one of the free I/O-positions. This plugboard is connected to an external plug panel (PCB 1701) via two cables (see figure 25). PCB 1701 is mounted in a frame on a wall in the data room. Up to eight terminals can be connected to PCB 1701, and each frame can take up to eight external plug panels.

Chapter 3: Maintenance Display

Since there is no display on the operator panel of the ND-5000 ES Model C, you must use an external maintenance display. It is similar to the display part of the first ND-100 operator panels, but there is no OPCOM button (see the figure on page 43).

Connection

Connect the display to the upper socket in the system plugboard (5259), which is located in the leftmost position in the backwiring, seen from the back.

3.1.1 Normal Display Operation

In normal conditions, the different parts of the display operate as described in this section.

The FUNCTION Field:

The four parts of the FUNCTION field show the following:

UTIlity

The UTIL part shows the utility of the ND-120 CPU. The more the ND-120 is utilized (that is, the less time spent on program level 0), the more segments are lit.

|       |    |------|    |-\\    |------|
|       |    |      |    |  \\   |      |
|       |    |      |    |   \\  |      |

                      |             \\|
No activity 100% Utility

Cache HIT

The HIT part shows the hit rate in cache memory. The more hit in cache, the more segments are lit.

|       |    |------|    |-\\    |------|
|       |    |      |    |  \\   |      |
|       |    |      |    |   \\  |      |

Chapter 3 Maintenance Display

Interrupt/paging MODE

The MODE part shows whether the interrupt system and/or the paging system is turned on.

 lP      l

Both the Interrupt and  Only the interrupt sys-
paging systems are on.   tem is on.

The ADDRESS field

The ADDRESS field displays the DAY, HOUR, MINute and SECond taken from the system clock. (See figure 27 on page 43.)

The DATA field

The DATA field shows the active program level in the computer. A "one" is set in one of the positions 0-15, corresponding to the active level. The display has afterglow, so it is possible to see a single instruction on a program level. (See figure 27 on page 43.)

The OPCOM indicator

As the name indicates, the OPCOM indicator is lit when the computer is in OPCOM mode.


Page 56

Chapter 3 Maintenance Display

3.1.2 OPCOM Commands Using Display

Some of the commands available in OPCOM use the display. A summary of how they affect the display is given here. For a complete explanation of OPCOM etc., see the manual ND-110 & ND-120 Functional Description (ND-806030).

Why Use the Display?

Much of the same information is shown on both the console and the display. But the display remains in the same mode afterwards, and is continuously updated. Therefore you can set up the display to examine for example register or memory address, leave OPCOM, start a program, and still see what happens in that register or address.

Memory Examine

Display

When you examine memory, the display responds like this:

  • FUNCTION field: examine mode
    • PEXM = Physical address examine
    • PT 0 - PT17 = Logical address, mapped via page table 0 - 178.
  • ADDRESS field: Memory address.
  • DATA field: Contents of current address.

Page 57

Chapter 3 Maintenance Display

Examine Mode

First, set the memory examine mode. If you want to use physical addresses, give the OPCOM command:

#E↓

If you want to use logical addresses, specify the number of the desired page table (0 - 178) before the "E".

Example:

#2E↓

Subsequent addresses will be mapped through page table 2.

Memory Examine

To examine a location in memory, type the address followed by a /. The display remains in this mode until you give a new display command.

Example:

#E↓
#12345/ 54321

The contents of physical address 123458 is now 543218. This is shown on both the console and the display. If it is changed by a running program, the new contents will be shown on the display.


Page 58

Register Examine

In register examine mode, the display shows:

FUNCTION field: Name (and program level if specified) of the register.

ADDRESS field: Current Program Counter (PC). Updated continuously.

DATA field: Contents of register. Updated continuously.

Working Registers

To examine one of the working registers, type:

#xxRy/
  • xx = Program level (0 - 178). Default is program level 0.
  • Ry = Working register name R0 - R7. Corresponding to register-file working registers STS, D, P, B, L, A, T, and X respectively. (These names can also be used directly, but STS must be abbreviated to S.)

Example:

#14R0/ 000043

The contents of R0 (STS register) on program level 14 is now 43. This is shown on both the console and the display. If it is changed by a running program, the new contents will be shown on the display. In addition, the display shows the current program counter (also updated continuously) and the name and level for the register.

+-------------------+
| PC: 12466   | 43 |
+-------------+----+

Internal Registers

To examine one of the internal registers, type:

#Iy/

y = internal register number:

Number Register
0 PANS
1 STS
2 OPR
3 PSR
4 PVL
5 IIC
6 PID
7 PIE
10 CSR
11 ACTL
12 ALD
13 PES
14 PCR
15 PEA

Example:

#I7/

This input on the console will show the contents of the PIE-register on the console and the display. Changes will only be seen on the display.

User Register

The user register is used by some diagnostic and utility programs to hold current status information. To examine this register, type

#U/

Page 60

Chapter 3 Maintenance Display

Reset to Normal Operation

OPCOM input The command
#ACT/

resets the display to the normal operating mode, which is described beginning on page 44.

| Master Clear | The display is also reset to normal operation by a Master Clear to the ND-100. |

Define Display Format

OPCOM input #uuzzyxFJ

This command sets the format for the display of data. If the parameters uuzzyx are omitted, the default is octal format.

Parameter Explanation

  • x : Number representation code.

    • x = 0 Displayed data is in octal format. zz has no effect.
    • x = 1 Displayed data is in unary format, i.e. four of the bits in the displayed data are used to light one out of 16 indicators.
    • x = 2 Displayed data is in binary format. zz has no effect.
  • y : "Stretch" code (afterglow).

    • y = 0 No stretching
    • y = 1 Zeros are stretched

Scanned by Jonny Oddene for Sintran Data © 2011


Page 61

Chapter 3 Maintenance Display

y = 2 Ones are stretched
y = 3 Zeros and ones are stretched

zz : Lower start bit for unary display.

zz = 0-248 Position of lowest bit
      to be represented in unary format.

uu : Display processor maintenance codes.

uu Description
1 Display year and month in the ADDRESS field
2 Inhibit message
4 Initialize panel processor
108 Abort message

(See "ND-110 & ND-120 Functional Description" for details on displaying messages on the display.)

Example

1421FJ

After this command is given in OPCOM, bits 148-178 are shown in unary format with afterglow on ones.
