Reconfiguring the AlphaServer IP Platform

4.3.2 Removing and Replacing the AT Bus Expansion Kit

The 2T-VC220-IP AT bus expansion kit consists of the transmit module installed in the AlphaServer 1000A, the receive module installed in the ISA bus expansion chassis, and a 2- meter cable that connects the two modules.

Perform the following procedure to remove the receive module from the ISA bus expansion chassis:

1.Remove power from the ISA bus expansion chassis by pressing the On/Off switch on the front of the ISA bus expansion chassis.

2.Remove the screws that secure the ISA bus expansion chassis to the front rails and extend the ISA bus expansion chassis on the slides.

3.Remove the screws that secure the top cover and remove the top cover from the ISA bus expansion chassis.

4.Disconnect the cable from the receive module.

5.Remove the hold-down bar from across the top of the modules in the ISA bus expansion chassis.

6.Remove the screw that secures the receive module to the rear bulkhead of the ISA bus expansion chassis.

7.Remove the receive module from the ISA bus expansion chassis.

To replace the receive module in the ISA bus expansion chassis, reverse steps 1 through 7 of the removal procedure. Ensure that the jumpers on the new receive module are set to match the jumpers on the receive module being replaced.

4.4 Modular Storage Shelf BA35x-Sx Subsystem Configuration

The modular storage shelf BA35x-Sx contains the following components that may need to be removed and replaced:

∙StorageWorks building blocks (SBBs)

∙DWZZB-VW SCSI bus converter

∙H885-AA tri-link connector block

∙H879-AA SCSI terminator

∙Disk drives

∙Power supply

____________________________ Important _________________________

Once a device has been initialized on a SCSI bus with a specific device address, moving the device to another bus or changing the device address can cause problems.
