|_____________________________________________________________________________|
| 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.

        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.

        o Study SWITCH/JUMPER SET-UP Procedures for L0100, L0118, and CIBCA
          T1025 modules for adjusting the following CI-LINK functions/modes:

                - "7/10-TICK" DELTA-TIME/QUIET-SLOT:

        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.

        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.       *
