Preface
This manual is part of the documentation set for the CDA 7 family of products.
The CDA 7 is a very reliable high performance Integrated Cached Disk Array
(ICDA) designed for online data storage.
This manual describes CDA 7 maintenance and ORU replacement procedures.
This manual is intended for personnel involved in maintaining and repairing the
CDA 7 5330.
Versions of the Product
•For GCOS 7 systems, the CDA 7 5330 subsystem is available with two disk
technologies giving two different disk capacities: 9 GB and 18 GB.
9 GB refers to the formatted disk capacity. This is equivalent to an unformatted
disk capacity of 11.5 GB.
18 GB refers to the formatted disk capacity. This is equivalent to an unformatted
disk capacity of 23 GB.
This manual applies to both the 9 GB and 18 GB disk technologies. However, if
a section of text applies only to just one disk technology (9 GB or 18 GB), then
this is explicitly stated in the text. If no such indication is given, then the text
concerned applies to both the 9 GB and the 18 GB disks.
•CDA 7 5630 is available with 18 GB or 36 GB disk devices.
18 GB refers to the formatted disk capacity. This is equivalent to an unformatted
disk capacity of 23 GB.
36 GB refers to the formatted disk capacity. This is equivalent to an unformatted
disk capacity of 47 GB.

CDA 7 Maintenance Manual
iv 77 A7 48UU Rev03
This manual is structured as follows:
Chapter 1 Introduction, provides a overview of the CDA 7
system.
Chapter 2 About the Lap-Top shows the place and connections
of the Lap-Top in the CDA 7 5330 subsystem.
Chapter 3 System Repairs, contains instructions for replacing
CDA 7 components.
Chapter 4 Part Catalog, provides a list of part numbers to be
used when ordering replacement parts for the CDA 7.
Chapter 5 Add-On/Microcode Upgrade, describes how to
perform add-ons to the CDA 7 subsystem.
AppendixA Software Release and CDA 7 Configurations (9 GB
Disks). This describes how the software release is
identified and the outlines the possible CDA 7
subsystem configurations. AppendixA applies to
systems with 9 GB disks only.
Appendix B Error Report (GCOS 7 PRLOG). This contains the
channel exeption messages and the information on the
cause of this state. Appendix B applies both to
systems with 9 GB disks and to systems with 18 GB
disks.
Appendix C Installing the CDA 7 5330 With Microcode
Release 5263. Release 5263 of the Microcode can run
on systems only 9 GB disks only. Therefore,
Appendix C applies to systems with 9 GB disks only.
Appendix D Software Release and CDA 7 Configurations
(18 GB Disks). This is the equivalent ofAppendixA
except that Appendix D applies to systems with
18 GB disks only.
Appendix E Installing the CDA 7 5330 With Microcode
Release 5264. Release 5264 of the Microcode can run
on systems with either 9 GB disks or 18 GB disks.
Appendix F Installing the CDA 7 5630 With Microcode
Release 5265. Release 5265 of the Microcode can run
on systems with either 18 GB disks or 36 GB disks.
Glossary Defines the terms used in this manual.
