EF- and RZ-Series Integrated Storage
Elements
1.1 General
Figure 1–1 shows the EF-series integrated storage elements (ISE). Figure 1–2
shows the RZ-series ISEs in the 3.5-inch configuration. Note that the logic
module is located on the right side for the RZ-series.
The two configurations vary as follows:
• EF-series ISEs are solid state disks.
• 3.5-inch RZ-series ISEs contain either one or two hard disk storage devices.
BA400-series ISEs contain hardware and a circuit module to allow the ISE to
be plugged into the enclosure backplane.
Note
VAX 4000 systems do not support RZ-series ISEs unless an HSD05 or
HSD10 option is installed.

The term "Integrated Storage Element" (ISE) is used for any Digital Storage
Systems Interconnect (DSSI) or Small Computer System Interface (SCSI)
storage device. An ISE contains an on-board intelligent controller in addition
to the drive and the control electronics.
The DSSI interface supports up to seven ISEs. DSSI interfaces can be
embedded within a CPU module, such as the KA670 module. The DSSI
interface can also be separate modules, such as the KFQSA, which is interfaced
by a single cable to a DSSI connector in the host enclosure.
EF-series ISEs are DSSI-based solid state disk drives based on the Digital
Storage Architecture (DSA).
RZ-series ISEs utilize the SCSI bus and interface. SCSI interfaces can be
embedded within a CPU module, such as the KN220 module. The SCSI
interface can also be separate modules, such as the HSD05 or HSD10, which
are connected by a single cable to the system backplane in the host enclosure.
1–4 EF- and RZ-Series Integrated Storage Elements

Note
Within a system enclosure it is possible to have up to seven disk
storage devices, provided there is no tape drive in the enclosure. There
can be three 3.5-inch dual storage devices and one 5.25-inch or one
3.5-inch single storage device.
For more detailed information about configuring EF- and RZ-series ISEs in
a BA400-series enclosure, refer to the appropriate enclosure maintenance
manual listed in Appendix A.

1.2 EF- and RZ-Series ISE Installation Preparation
EF- and RZ-series ISEs require that bus node ID jumpers be set on the drive
before the ISE can be installed in a BA400-series enclosure.
When installing an EF- or RZ-series ISE, refer to the reference booklet or data
sheet that is shipped with the ISE to set the proper bus node ID (DSSI/SCSI
ID) jumpers. Also ensure that the TERM PWR and the TERM ENABLE
jumpers are removed. Failure to remove the TERM ENABLE jumper will
cause improper operation of the ISE.
Note
Some of the ISEs have two sets of jumpers for setting the bus node ID.
Refer to the reference booklet or data sheet that is shipped with the
ISE to set the proper bus node ID on one set of jumpers only. Ensure
that all of the jumpers are removed from the second set of device
address (Node ID) jumper pins.
In VAX 4000 systems, the SCSI termination and TERM PWR are provided by
the controller module on one end of the bus and termination for the other end
of the bus is provided by an external terminator.
Note
Refer to Section 1.4.4 for bus node ID configuration guidelines.

1.3 Installation Procedure
To install an EF- or RZ-series ISE in a BA400-series enclosure, perform the
following procedures.
1.3.1 ISE Installation in an Empty Slot
CAUTION
Static electricity can damage integrated circuits. Use the anti-static
wrist strap and antistatic pad found in the static-protective field service
kit (29-26246-00) when you work with the internal parts of a computer
system.
Handle the ISE with care. Dropping or bumping the ISE can damage
the disk surface. Carry or hold the ISE by the underside of the lower
bracket to avoid damaging the drive module.
1. After the system manager shuts down the operating system, set the lock
to the bottom position to open both the top and bottom enclosure doors
(Figure 1–9).
2. Set the power switch to off (0).

3. Always install ISEs working from right to left (Figure 1–5).
Figure 1–5 BA440 Enclosure
MLO-006528
Slot 3 Slot 2 Slot 1 Slot 0
NOTE
The first (slot 0) mass storage cavity in the mass storage area is wider
than the rest to accommodate a larger device, such as a tape drive. A
small filler panel (70-27414-01) is used to fill the gap when an EF- or
RZ-series ISE is installed in this first cavity.

4. Loosen the captive Phillips screw that secures the blank ISE front panel
assembly (Figure 1–6), and remove the panel.

5. For 5.25-inch EF-series ISEs, remove the plastic skid plate from the right
side (remove the four screws) of the device (Figure 1–7). Discard the skid
plate.

6. For the EF-series ISEs, with the side that had the skid plate attached to it
facing to the right, slide the ISE along the guide rails into the mass storage
cavity (Figure 1–8A).
For 3.5-inch RZ-series ISEs: with the ISE controller module facing to the
right, slide the ISE along the guide rails into the mass storage cavity
(Figure 1–8A).

7. Refer to Figure 1–8A and install the ISE.
p
Using the tabs in front of upper and lower finger cutouts, firmly push
the ISE brackets until the interface card at the rear of the storage
device plugs into its backplane connector. The guide tabs on the upper
and lower bracket should line up with the cutouts in the chassis.
