This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interfer-
ence when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the manuals, may cause harm-
ful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause
harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Restrictions apply to the use of the local-connection port on this series of controllers; failure to observe these
restrictions may result in harmful interference. Always disconnect this port as soon as possible after complet-
ing the setup operation. Any changes or modifications made to this equipment may void the user's authority to
operate the equipment.
Warning!
This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which case
the user may be required to take adequate measures.
Achtung!
Dieses ist ein Gerät der Funkstörgrenzwertklasse A. In Wohnbereichen können bei Betrieb dieses Gerätes
Rundfunkstörungen auftreten, in welchen Fällen der Benutzer für entsprechende Gegenmaßnahmen verant-
wortlich ist.
Attention!
Ceci est un produit de Classe A. Dans un environnement domestique, ce produit risque de créer des inter-
férences radioélectriques, il appartiendra alors à l'utilisateur de prendre les mesures spécifiques appropriées.

Compaq HSZ80 Array Controller ACS Version 8.3 Configuration and CLI Reference Guide
About This Guide
This book describes the features of the HSZ80 Array Controller, configuration
procedures for the controller and storagesets running Array Controller Software
(ACS) 8.3Z, and the CLI commands used in configuring.
This book does not contain information about the operating environments to which
the controller may be connected, nor does it contain detailed information about
subsystem enclosures or their components. See the documentation that accompanied
those peripherals for information about them.

Precautions
Follow these precautions when youre carrying out the procedures in this book.
Electrostatic Discharge Precautions
Static electricity collects on all nonconducting material, such as paper, cloth, and
plastic. An electrostatic discharge (ESD) can easily damage a controller or other
subsystem component even though you may not see or feel the discharge. Follow
these precautions whenever you’re servicing a subsystem or one of its components:
Always use an ESD wrist strap when servicing the controller or other
components in the subsystem. Make sure that the strap contacts bare skin and fits
snugly, and that its grounding lead is attached to a bus that is a verified earth
ground.
Before touching any circuit board or component, always touch a verifiable earth
ground to discharge any static electricity that may be present in your clothing.
Always keep circuit boards and components away from nonconducting material.
Always keep clothing away from circuit boards and components.
Always use antistatic bags and grounding mats for storing circuit boards or
components during replacement procedures.
Always keep the ESD cover over the program card when the card is in the
controller. If you remove the card, put it in its original carrying case. Never touch
the contacts or twist or bend the card while you’re handling it.
Do not touch the connector pins of a cable when it is attached to a component or
host.
Component Precaution
System components referenced in this manual comply to regulatory standards
documented herein. Use of other components in their place may violate country
standards, negate regulatory compliance, or invalidate the warranty on your product.

VHDCI Cable Precautions
All of the cables to the controller, cache module, and external cache battery use very-
high-density cable interconnect connectors (VHDCI). These connectors have
extraordinarily small mating surfaces that can be adversely affected by dust and
movement.
Use the following precautions when you’re connecting cables that use VHDCI
connectors:
Clean the mating surfaces with a blast of clean air.
Mate the connectors by hand, then tighten the retaining screws to 1.5 inch-
pounds—approximately 1/4 additional turn after the connectors have fully mated.
Test the assembly by gently pulling on the cable, which should not produce
visible separation.
Maintenance Port Precautions
The maintenance port generates, uses, and radiates radio-frequency energy through
cables that are connected to it. This energy may interfere with radio and television
reception. Do not leave a cable connected to this port when you’re not communicating
with the controller.
xviii About This Guide
Conventions
This book uses the following typographical conventions and special notices to help
you find what you’re looking for.

the spareset.”
Monospaced Screen display.
Sans serif italic
Command variable or numeric value that you supply, for
example:
SHOW
RAIDset-name
or
set this_controller id=
(n,n,n,n,)
italic Reference to other books, for example: “See
....
for
details.”
.
.
.
Indicates that a portion of an example or figure has been
omitted.
“this controller” The controller serving your current CLI session through a
local or remote terminal.
“other controller” The controller in a dual-redundant pair that’s connected
to the controller serving your current CLI session.

Special Notices
This book doesn’t contain detailed descriptions of standard safety procedures.
However, it does contain warnings for procedures that could cause personal injury and
cautions for procedures that could damage the controller or its related components.
Look for these symbols when you’re carrying out the procedures in this book:
WARNING: A warning indicates the presence of a hazard that can cause
personal injury if you do not observe the precautions in the text.
CAUTION: A caution indicates the presence of a hazard that might dam-
age hardware, corrupt software, or cause a loss of data.
IMPORTANT: An
important
note is a type of note that provides information
essential to the completion of a task. Users can disregard information in a note
and still complete a task, but they should not disregard an important note.
NOTE: A note provides additional information that’s related to the completion of an
instruction or procedure.
xx About This Guide
Required Tools
You’ll need the following tools to service the controller, cache module, external cache
battery (ECB), the Power Verification and Addressing (PVA) module and the I/O
module:
A flathead screwdriver for loosening and tightening the I/O module retaining
screws.
A small phillips screwdriver for loosening and tightening the GLM access door
screws.
An antistatic wrist strap.
An antistatic mat on which to place modules during servicing.
A Storage Building Block (SBB) Extractor for removing StorageWorks building
blocks. This tool is not required, but it will enable you to perform more
efficiently.
