Overview
Overview
This manual contains descriptions of options that the VAX 4000 BA42B-based
systems support. It provides instructions that describe how to install each
option into a VAX 4000 BA42-based system. If there is option model-specific
information, it is also described. The following is a list of options that the
VAX 4000 BA42B-based systems support.
• DHW42-AA, -BA, -CA, -UP asynchronous communications option
• DSW42-AA synchronous communications option
• MS44-DC, MS44L-BC memory options
• RF31T-EK/RF35-EK/RF36-EK tape drive option
• RRD42-EK CD–ROM drive option
• RRD43-EK CD–ROM drive option
• RX26-EL disk drive option
• TLZ06-HG/TLZ07-HG tape drive option
• TZ30-EL tape drive option
• TZK10-HG/TZK11-HG tape drive option
Note
Your system may differ slightly from some illustrations because this
manual randomly depicts VAX 4000 Models 100, 100A, and 105A as
examples.
Many options may be installed in either right-hand or left-hand
mounting positions. Illustrations may differ from the actual position
used in your system.

DSSI and SCSI Information
DSSI and SCSI Information
DSSI ID information
You must set the ID of the digital storage systems interconnect (DSSI) device
option. In the VAX 4000 Model 100, 100A or 105A, each DSSI device must
have a unique DSSI ID.
SCSI ID information
You must set the ID of a small computer system interface (SCSI) device option.
In a VAX 4000 Model 100, 100A or 105A, each SCSI device must have a unique
SCSI ID. The following table lists the recommended SCSI IDs for the various
SCSI devices that the VAX 4000 Model 100, 100A or 105A systems support.

DHW42 Asynchronous Communications
Option
The DHW42 is an asynchronous communications option for the VAX 4000
BA42-based systems. There are four variants of this option; three variants
provide different communications interfaces, and one variant is an upgrade
option (see Table 1–1).
Table 1–1 DHW42 Variants
Variant Communications Interface
DHW42-AA Eight DEC423 asynchronous lines
DHW42-BA Sixteen DEC423 asynchronous lines
DHW42-CA Eight EIA-232 asynchronous lines with modem control
DHW42-UP Eight to sixteen DEC423 asynchronous line upgrade
1.1 Ordering Information
Table 1–2 lists the order numbers for the DHW42 options that Digital services
personnel install in a VAX 4000 BA42-based system.

1.2 Option Contents
1.2 Option Contents
The DHW42 option contains components that you install in the system
enclosure (internal components) and components that you connect to the
system (external components).
The DHW42 asynchronous communications option contains these components:
• A logic board (54-20662-01)
• An input/output cable (17-02942-01)
• One of the following input/output modules:
8 data-only line input/output module (70-28542-02)
16 data-only line input/output module (70-28542-03)
8 modem control line input/output module (70-28543-01)
Figure 1–1 shows the contents of a DHW42 option. The DHW42 input/output
module and the external components for each variant are different. Table 1–3
gives information about the unique components of each variant.

2Two are supplied.
1.3 Installation
To install the DHW42 option in the system enclosure: remove the enclosure
cover and the drive-mounting shelves. (Refer to the BA42B Enclosure
Maintenance manual for more information.)
To install the DHW42 input/output module you must:
1. Remove the asynchronous communications port covers from the back of the
CPU module. The variant of the option determines the covers you remove
as follows:
• DHW42-AA—remove the cover on the asynchronous communications
port A only (the lower cover).
• DHW42-BA and DHW42-CA—remove the covers on the asynchronous
communications ports A (lower port) and B (upper port).
• DHW42-UP—remove the cover on the asynchronous communications
port B (the upper cover).
2. To remove a port cover, push up the plastic tab on the cover from inside the
enclosure and remove the cover from the enclosure (see Figure 1–2).

Note: 1. Remove lower cover first.
2. Remove lower cover only for DHW42-AA. MLO-012387
3. Place the DHW42 input/output module, with external connectors facing
out, on the support tabs on the back of the enclosure (see Figure 1–3).
4. Tilt the DHW42 input/output module towards the back of the enclosure
until the spring clip on the DHW42 input/output module clicks into
position.

To install the DHW42 input/output cable:
1. Connect one end of the DHW42 input/output cable to the connector on the
CPU module (see Figure 1–4).
2. Connect the other end of the DHW42 input/output cable to the DHW42
input/output module on the back of the enclosure.
3. Ensure that the connector arms lock both cable connectors securely into
position.
