Chapter 1. Using the Subsystems
This section describes the 7133 Models D40 and T40 Serial Disk Systems, their
controls, and how to use them. These systems are Serial Storage Architecture (SSA)
disk subsystems.
For similar information about the 7133 Models 010, 020, 500, and 600 SSA Disk
Subsystems, refer to the 7133 SSA Disk Subsystem: Operator Guide, GA33-3259.
Rack-Mounted Unit Configurations
7133 Model D40 is a rack-mounted SSA disk storage unit that can be attached to any
computer that provides support for SSA. Up to 16 SSA disk drive modules, in groups of
up to four, can be installed in a Model D40 unit.
Each group of disk drives in a 7133 unit is connected in a loop that must also contain
an SSA adapter. An SSA loop can also contain other groups of disk drives and
additional SSA adapters. The rules for connecting SSA loops and details of simple
configurations are described in the 7133 Model D40: Installation Guide.
With a 7133 Model D40, an Advanced SSA Optical Extender (Pair) feature can be
installed. This allows the 7133 unit to be connected by fibre optic cables to host
systems or other SSA units up to 10 km (32800 feet) away.

A fully configured 7133 Model D40 looks like this:
Disk drives
The whole of the front cover hinges downward to give access to the disk drive modules
installed at the front of 7133 units.
If your operating system implements the function, it can configure a 7133 Model D40, in
addition to the disk drives within it, as a device.
Deskside Unit Configurations
7133 Model T40 is a deskside SSA disk storage unit that can be attached to any
computer that provides support for SSA. Up to 16 SSA disk drive modules, in groups of
up to four, can be installed in a Model T40 unit.
Each group of disk drives in a 7133 unit is connected in a loop that must also contain
an SSA adapter. An SSA loop can also contain other groups of disk drives and
additional SSA adapters. The rules for connecting SSA loops and details of simple
configurations are described in the 7133 Model T40: Installation Guide.
With a 7133 Model T40, an Advanced SSA Optical Extender (Pair) feature can be
installed. This allows the 7133 unit to be connected by fibre optic cables to host
systems or other System units up to 10 km (32800 feet) away.

A fully configured 7133 Model T40 looks like this:
The front and back covers hinge to the left to give access to the disk drive modules
installed behind them. Locks are provided on the covers to prevent unauthorized access
to the disk drive modules and system connections.
If your operating system implements the function, it can configure a 7133 Model T40, in
addition to the disk drives within it, as a device.
Controls and Lights
This section describes the Power switch and lights on a 7133 Model D40 or T40 unit.
If you leave the 7133 Power switch set to on, power within a 7133 unit is turned on and
off automatically:
vFor a Model D40, when you turn power on and off to the rack containing the unit
vFor any 7133 model, if it has the Remote Power On Control feature installed, when
you turn power on and off to your system unit.
During normal operations, you do not need to check the lights on 7133 units.
Chapter 1. Using the Subsystems 3

Subsystem Controls
You can see the 7133 Subsystem lights at the front of each 7133 unit. The subsystem
Power switch and other controls are behind a flap on the front cover. To reach these,
push the latch button and hinge the flap to the left.

Power switch
In the 7133 Model D40, the Power switch, labeled Power/Standby, controls
electrical power from the power-supply units within the 7133 unit to the disk
drives and other components. To connect this internal electrical power, press
the Power switch. To remove this power, press the switch again. (When you
have pressed this switch to remove the internal power and the Power light is
flashing, mainline electrical power can still be present within the 7133
rack-mounted unit. To remove electrical power completely from the unit,
disconnect the mainline electrical supply.)
In the 7133 Model T40, the Power switch controls the main electrical power
into the 7133 unit. To connect main electrical power, press the Power switch.
To remove this power, press the switch again.
Chapter 1. Using the Subsystems 5

Attention: Pressing these switches when the Power light is on can cause a
system fault unless you first make the disk drives within the 7133 unit
unavailable to the operating system. To do this:
1. Use the system-management task menus of the operating system to make
the disk drives unavailable to the system.
2. If the 7133 unit is connected to more than one adapter, make the disk
drives unavailable to the system or systems for each of the paths to the
system.
Power light
The Power light, which is green, comes on permanently when the
power-supply units within the 7133 subsystem are supplying power to the rest
of the subsystem. When the subsystem is in standby mode, this light will be
flashing. In standby mode, the power-supply units do not supply power to the
drives. This mode is set by the power/standby switch on the Model D40 or
remotely on either model if the remote power option is installed.
Check light
The Check light, which is amber, comes on if a failure occurs within the 7133
unit. The unit might be able to continue operating satisfactorily even when the
failure of a single part has been detected. The light can be set flashing by an
SSA service aid to identify the failing 7133.
ID display
The ID display is a four-character display that can be set by the three ID push
buttons.
This display normally shows the ID of the 7133 unit. If a failure occurs within
the 7133 unit, an error ID for the failure is shown, alternating with the ID of the
7133 unit; “Identifying 7133 Units”on page 14 describes these how to set the
7133 IDs, the 7133 Models D40 and T40 Serial Disk Systems: Service Guide,
GY33–0192–02, describes the error IDs.
ID push buttons
You can use these push buttons to set the ID of the 7133 unit that is shown in
the ID display. Use a ball-point pen or similar instrument to press these push
buttons.
vThe left button steps through the four character positions, one position at a
time, to select the character position that you want to set.
vThe center button steps through the available characters, one character at a
time, to select a character.
vThe right button stores the selected ID.
If no push button is pressed within 10 seconds, the display resets to its last
valid setting.
