|                                                                             |

|_____________________________________________________________________________|
| Applicability: The L0118 Rev B* module should be installed on all CI750,    |
| CI780, CIBCI, & HSCxx nodes used in VAXclusters of 6 (six) or more CI/HSC   |
| nodes connected to a common SC008 Star Coupler.   L0118s should replace all |
| L0100 Rev D* link modules; L0100 Rev E* can coexist with L0118s except in   |
| greater than 16 node environment.                                           |
|_____________________________________________________________________________|
| Problem/Symptom:  Clusters of 6 or more CI/HSC nodes on SC008 may exhibit   |
| CI-PATH NO_RSP or NAK, ARB-TIMEOUTS, and VC-CLOSURE.  L0118 (& L0100 Rev E*)|
| corrects adjacent-node collision & arb problems. * FIX DETAILS ON PAGE 2. * |
|_____________________________________________________________________________|
| Quick Check:   Check that link module is part number L0118.                 |
|                                                                             |

        PROBLEMS/SYMPTOMS: Continued from Page 1.
        -----------------------------------------
        SOLUTION SUMMARY - L0118 DESIGN AND L0100 E* ECOS
                # - Denotes changes incompatible with L0100-D1, or CIBCA
                "7-tick DELTA-TIME mode; and controlled by "COMPATIBILITY
                7/10-tick"  switch on L0100-E1/E2 or L0118.

        1.# BASIC QUIET-SLOT extended from 7 to 10 ticks (tick=byte=114 ns.,
            change = 800 ns. to 1140 ns.) to fix adjacent node collision
            problem at 40% CI-path utilization caused by L0100 Tx-start/Rx-
            detect logic delays when such nodes simultaneously arbitrate.

        2.# HIGH/LOW-PRIORITY (Round-ROBIN) ARBITRATION COUNTER logic fixed
            to prevent "false BEATEN-BY-NODE-0" detection during ACK-
            TURNAROUND carrier-delay, resulting in biasing arb-wins to
            low-nodes.  Fix requires QUIET-SLOT change, and must be
            applied to all L0100 to prevent arbitration biasing.

        3. # EXTEND ACK-TURNAROUND TIME (INFO-to-ACK PACKET delay) to
            ensure CI-sender (INFO-PKT) ready to receive ACK, under
            worst-case (short,fast) propagation delays, such as with
            SC004 (dual-CI750) and short-CI-cables (6-10 meter).
            Fix requires QUIET-SLOT change.

        4.  Fix SYNC-DETECT "PAL" to prevent lock-up during CI-carrier
            "flood", an infrequent CI-LINK failure mode.

        5.  EXTEND "TRAILER TRANSMIT TIME" to ensure at least 5 bytes
            of trailer (after CRC) sent, instead of 3.5 bytes.

        6.  EXTEND HEADER JUMPER (not used in current CI applic.) was
            non-functional: Fix.

        7.  ALTER-DELTA-TIME JUMPER (7/16-tick quiet-slot) was
            non-functional: Fix.  Not currently used, but intended
            for extended CI-cabling lengths, or fiber.

        8.  ARBITRATION STATUS REPORTING enhanced to distinguish
            ARB-TIMEOUT from "fail to xmit after successful ARB".

        9.  CI20 ONLY: CRC-COUNT RESET failed on SELF-DIRECTED
            packets: Fix.

        10. MISCELLANEOUS L0100 Print-Set logic-drawing clean-up,
            marginal logic-design improvement, for benefit of
            future CIxxx chip-designs (CIBCA...) based on L0100.

        NOTE:  If all nodes in the VAXcluster system have 10 tick capability
        (I.E., L0118, L0100 Rev "E" and/or CIBCA-AA and NO L0100 Rev "D"),
        then all nodes should be set to 10 tick mode regardless of the
        VAXcluster system size.

        L0100  -  Rev "E"  -  See page 7, step 10 for 7/10-TICK Switch setup.

        L0118  -  Rev "B"  -  See page 7, step 10 for 7/10-TICK, Cluster-size

        CIBCA-AA           -  Add Jumper from E11 to E41 on VAXBI Backplane
                              for "10-TICK INCOMPATIBLE" mode operation.
                              Verify no jumpers D29-D59 and D30-D60 for cluster-
                              size (NODE-COUNT) of 16 or less.   Refer to

        o Forecast and obtain sufficient CI/HSCxx L0100 FCO kits for all CI7x0,
          CIBCI, HSCxx Cluster Nodes, ensuring availability of 1 (one) spare
          for every 10 (ten) FCO kits.  FCO kits should NOT BE "P1 ORDERED",
          but should be ordered according to the Corporate Implementation
          Plan.  CIxxx Functional Diags (EVGAA/B) from VAX Diag. Rel #31 are
          also recommended for checkout.

          requisite CIxxx or HSCxx FCOs (modules or microcode) required for
          L0118 upgrade in "7-TICK 16-NODE MODE", but CI780.BIN Version V8.0
          and CIBCA.BIN Version V5.3 are recommended.

        o Schedule & perform cluster shutdown after all non-CIBCA nodes are
          upgraded/FCO'd, and have been tested and verified to function in
          "7-TICK-MODE" operation under VMS.  VMS system-testing is important
          to early detection and repair of any DOA FCO modules, prior to
          disrupting VAXcluster for CI-LINK 7-to-10-TICK mode-change.

        o Switch all L0100-E, L0118, and T1025/CIBCA to "10-TICK-MODE"
          "INCOMPATIBLE" operation.  Ensure all CIs and HSCs are powered-off
          before changing switches/jumpers.  Refer to appropriate FCO steps.
          Any planned CI-NODE-ADDRESSS changes should also be made at this
          time, with consideration of VMS SYSGEN and DECNET parameter changes
          required on reboot.

        o Reboot cluster, with customer consent, starting with HSCs.

                    CI-LINK MODULE FCO INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
                    -----------------------------------------

        1.  Shutdown the system by executing the Shutdown Command Procedure,
            CUSTOMER SHOULD PERFORM THIS.

            $  "@SYS$SYSTEM:SHUTDOWN.COM"

        2.  Control <CTRL> ) and HALT the system.

        3.  Power off the system by typing >>>POFF.

        4.  Open the rear doors of the CPU cabinet and the expander
            cabinet containing the CI (CIPA) box.

        5.  Set main power circuit breaker of the CPU cabinet to the
            OFF (0) position.

        6.  Set the 877 power controller main power circuit breaker
            of the expander cabinet containing CI (CIPA) box to the
            OFF (0) position.

        7.   Disconnect all four BNCIA cables for this VAX 8XX0 node
             at the SC008.  Using the loopback attenuators connect:

             Transmit Path "A" (TA) to Receive Path "A" (RA)
             Transmit Path "B" (TB) to Receive Path "B" (RB)

        *       The L0118 module, as all VAX modules do,               *
        *       contains electrostatic discharge sensitive             *
        *       devices (ESDS).  The use of the VELOSTAT kit           *
        *       is essential to prevent damage which may not           *
        *       be noticed immediately.                                *

        8.  Set up VELOSTAT KIT

            a.  Unfold the VELOSTAT mat to full size (24" x 24").
            b.  Attach the 15 foot ground cord to the VELOSTAT
                snap fastener on the mat.
            c.  Attach the alligator clip end of the ground cord
                to a good ground on the VAX 8X00 system.
            d.  Attach the wrist strap to either wrist and the
                alligator clip to a convenient portion of the mat.

        9.  Remove the L0100 or L0118 module from its CPU option slot
            and place it on the mat.  Check the revision and module type:
                - L0100-E1/E2, or L0118, reinstall in same slot, and
                  go to step 11 (no upgrade needed).
                - L0100 below Rev. E1/E2, go to step 10 to continue upgrade.

            Record old CI-NODE ADDRESS settings on SW1 and SW2 switches
            (8-switch DIP on module handle).

        10. With L0118 (EQ-01454-05) on ESD Mat, configure and verify CI-LINK
            mode jumpers/switches for "7-TICK COMPATIBLE" MODE operation.
            The L0118 also contains CLUSTER-SIZE switch and 4 (four) jumpers
            for MISC-FUNCTIONAL-MODES which should be checked.   Install the
            new L0118 in the CIxxx option slot.

                *************************************************************
                *                    IMPORTANT  -  NOTE                     *
                *  Copy old CI-NODE ADDRESS to new L0100/L0118.             *
                *  Ensure "7-TICK COMPATIBLE" mode is ENABLED/SET to avoid  *
                *  CI-PATH errors with L0100-D1 or other "7-TICK" CI/HSC    *
                *  nodes.  The "10-TICK INCOMPATIBLE" mode cannot be used   *
                *  with L0100-D1 in cluster.   Default L0100/L0118 manuf.   *
                *  switch setting should be "7-TICK COMPATIBLE" mode.       *
