Unique Supplied Hardware
* One Multi-Function I/O card (MFIO) containing 802.3 LANIC, two RS-232 C ports
(for
console and remote support connections), SCSI interface, integrated ThinLAN
Transceiver, and AUI connector
* One 2 meter ThinLAN cable and a pair of ThinLAN terminators
* Integrated SCSI disk drive: 673 MB (917LX), 1355 MB (927LX, 937LX, 937,
947LX, 947, 957LX, 957, 967LX, 967, 977, 987)
* Integrated SCSI DDS format tape drive with 2.0 Gbytes capacity per cassette,
1 DDS cleaning cassette, 1 blank DDS cassette
* One 700/92 terminal (console) and cable
Unique Supplied Software
* HP Easytime/XL system management interface (Series 9x7LX only)
Packaging
The Series 9x7LX and 9x7 systems are offered in two different package types:
* The Series 9x7LX package is a small,
integrated deskside package offering two I/O expansion slots, space for one 3
1/2-inch DDS format tape drive, and one internal 5 1/4-inch disk mechanism.
*The Series 9x7 package is a larger deskside package
offering twelve I/O expansion slots and space for one internal 3 1/2-inch DDS
format tape drive, and up to three 5 1/4-inch disk mechanisms.
Upgrades from the small package to the large package are available. Also, both
packages are rack mountable in a 1.1 or 1.6 meter cabinet (P/Ns A1883A,
A1884A). Option 1CM under the system product number provides the necessary
hardware to rack mount the systems in a 1.1 meter or 1.6 meter cabinet.
%%See page 2-8 to 2-12 for more information on cabinet solutions.%%
Memory Expansion
Error correcting memory is supplied with each SPU. Additional memory can be
obtained by ordering options 503-519 with the system, or by ordering the
stand-alone products: A2230A (8 Mbytes), A2231A (16 Mbytes), A2232A (32
Mbytes), A2511A (64 Mbytes), or A2516A (128 Mbytes).
Memory consists of memory modules of 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64 Mbytes which must be
installed in pairs of identical size. Add-on memory products consist of an
identical pair of memory modules. For example, the 32 Mbyte add-on memory
product (A2232A) contains two 16 Mbyte modules.
The systems have the capacity to support a total combination of six pairs of
memory modules. On all 9x7LX systems, maximum memory of 192 Mbytes can be
achieved through
the use of six pairs of 16 Mbyte memory modules. For 9x7 systems, maximum
memory of 384 Mbytes is provided by six pairs of 32 Mbyte memory modules.
Adding
memory in smaller increments will reduce the maximum amount of memory possible.
Maximum memory on the Series 967 is 512 Mbytes, and on the Series 977
and 987 is 768 Mbytes, effective with MPE/iX Release 4.5.
Memory modules are installed on the private memory bus and do not use HP
Precision Bus expansion slots.
Floating Point Coprocessor
An IEEE floating point coprocessor is available as an option (8Z7) to Series
937LX, 937, 947LX, 947, 957LX, 957, 967LX, 967, and 977 systems for high
performance in numerical
applications. The coprocessor is built into the SPU so no installation is
required. Floating point is standard on the Series 987 by combining the CPU and
floating point coprocessor onto one chip.
Due to the tremendous performance of the 917LX and 927LX, a separate floating
point coprocessor is not deemed necessary.
Floating point operations for these systems
are adequately handled via the system processor and high speed system software
routines.
Several HP 3000 third party applications and tools require the floating point
coprocessor for optimal performance. Consult your third party software supplier
for the floating point requirements of their specific application.
HP EasyTime/XL
HP EasyTime/XL is an easy-to-use interface for commonly performed system
management functions on Series 9x7LX systems. HP EasyTime/XL must be ordered
separately. Part number B1940A will preload HP EasyTime/XL on the system disk
at the factory and provide future updates on Series 9x7LX systems.
Based upon an easy-to-use user interface, HP EasyTime/XL provides novice system
managers and end users with limited computer experience access to commonly used
system management utilities while shielding the user from the complexity of
MPE/iX.
Factory Software Pre-loading
Factory pre-loading of HP 3000 FOS and standard subsystem software is available
with HP 3000 9x7LX and 9x7 systems. This software will be factory installed on
the standard integrated disk provided with each system. In order to have all
HP subsystem software pre-installed at the factory, order MPE/iX media product
(51453A option 0D1) on the same order section as the system and specify a
coordinated shipment.
User Licenses
All Series 9x7LX and 9x7 systems are supplied with a software class/concurrent
license specifying the maximum number of users. Some systems are
available with options to increase the maximum number of users. The practical
number of concurrent users is dependent on the application mix and response
time/throughput requirements.
I/O Channel Configuration Information
HP Precision Bus (HP-PB)
HP 3000 Series 9x7LX and 9x7 systems connect to peripheral devices and data
communication networks via the HP Precision Bus (HP-PB). In compliance with
the Eurocard standard, the HP Precision Bus supports both single-high and
double-high I/O cards. Single-high I/O cards use one Precision Bus slot each
and double-high I/O cards use two slots each. Single-high Precision Bus cards
include SCSI, PSI, second 802.3 LANIC, and 802.5 Token Ring cards. Double-high
Precision Bus cards include PBA-IB and
PBA-FL interfaces. The table below illustrates the slot usage for the various
adapter cards supported on the Series 9x7LX and 9x7 systems.
Adapter Card || Size || HP-PB slots\used per card
=SCSI || Single-high || 1
=802.3 LANIC || Single-high || 1
=802.5 Token Ring || Single-high || 1
=PSI || Single-high || 1
=PBA-IB (HP-IB) || Double-high || 2
=PBA-FL (HP-FL)^^1^^ || Double-high || 2
=PB-FL (HP-FL)^^2^^ || Double-high || 2
^^1^^The PBA-FL card is supported on Release 3.1 and 4.0. PB-FL
replaces the PBA-FL.
^^2^^The PB-FL card is supported on Release 4.0
and later
The Series 9x7LX systems support up to two SCSI or PSI cards, one PBA-IB card,
or one PB-FL card (28616A). The Series 9x7 systems support up to twelve
single-high cards (such as SCSI or PSI), or two double-high PBA-IB cards, or
three double-high cards (PBA-FL, PB-FL) or a combination thereof.
Series 9x7LX System Layout
Series 9x7 System Layout
Installing double-high cards will impact the number of available single wide
slots available for single-high cards. Use the table below to determine
slot availability.
System || HP-PB Slots\Available || Double-High\Cards Used ||HP-PB Slots\Remaining
Series 9x7LX || 2 || 0 || 2
=∅ || || 1 || 0
Series 9x7 || 12 || 0 || 12
= || || 1 || 10
= || || 2 || 8
= || || 3 || 6
For example, if a customer has one HP-IB printer or HP-IB back-up device on a
Series 9x7LX system, no HP-PB slot remains. Consequently, a Series 9x7 package
with its expanded I/O slots may need to be purchased.
I/O Block Diagram
Multi-Function I/O Card (MFIO)
One MFIO card is supplied standard with each Series 9x7LX and 9x7 system. This
card provides:
*802.3 LAN connection for use with both DTC and system-to-system LAN traffic
(integrated ThinLAN Transceiver and AUI connector)
*two RS-232-C ports for console and remote support connections
*one SCSI interface which provides connection for five SCSI devices
The MFIO card does not utilize any Precision Bus slots.
External 2.0 GB DDS tape drives are supported on the integrated SCSI interface,
but 1.3 GB DDS drives are not. An add-on SCSI interface card is required to
support external 1.3 GB DDS tape drives.
Precision Bus Adapter (PBA)
The Precision Bus Adapter (PBA) is supported in the Series 9x7LX and 9x7
systems to provide connectivity to CIB HP-IB. The Precision Bus Adapter
(PBA) is supported on the Series 9x7 systems to provide connectivity to CIB
HP-FL. The
PBA combines the functionality of a CIB adapter and physical bus adapter into a
single card. Only one CIB HP-IB or CIB HP-FL can be connected to each PBA.
The Series 9x7LX systems support one PBA-IB (PBA with HP-IB) while
the Series 9x7 systems support a maximum of two PBAs.
%%Consult page 2-1 for PBA-IB maximums.%%
The Series 9x7LX systems support zero PBA-FLs, while the Series 9x7 systems
support a maximum of three PBAs. The PB-FL (28616A) replaces the PBA-FL
(A1748A).
Integrated Peripherals
The Series 9x7LX systems come standard with and support two embedded SCSI
peripherals:
*one DDS format tape drive
*one 5 1/4-inch disk mechanism (673 Mbyte or 1.3 Gbyte capacity)
For additional disk storage or tape backup, external peripherals are required.
The Series 9x7 systems come standard with two embedded SCSI peripherals:
*one DDS format tape drive
*one 1.3 Gbyte capacity 5 1/4-inch disk mechanism
Up to two additional 1.3 Gbyte SCSI disk mechanisms are supported inside the
package, providing up to 4 Gbytes of internal disk storage.
%%Refer to pages 2-4 and 2-5 for a diagram of the system layout.%%
C2463 (5 1/4-inch SCSI DDS) is ONLY supported on the Series 9x7LX and 9x7
systems. It is NOT supported on other platforms.
Customer Installability
Everything the customer needs for easy SPU installation is included on the
Series 917LX, 927LX, and 937LX systems. Installation by the HP Customer
Engineer is available
at an extra cost for these systems. The remaining 9x7LX systems and all Series
9x7 systems include CE installation.
Many add-on products to Series 9x7LX systems will include HP CE installation.
Some of the most common are networking products, additional I/O products,
DTC48s (2345A), and large disk configurations. Customers purchasing Series
9x7LX systems with these CE installable products are expected to perform the
routine system set-up and complete minimum site preparation activities prior to
HP CE arrival. Cabinets with systems and peripherals racked at the factory
include HP CE installation.
All Series 9x7LX systems come from the factory with CPU, memory, base I/O, and
integrated mass storage devices. In addition, the MPE/iX operating system and
HP subsystem software comes pre-installed on the internal disk. Special
easy-to-understand learning products are shipped with the system to assist the
novice customer through the initial startup.
The 917LX, 927LX, and 937LX systems are customer-installable if the
configuration is limited to the following:
* SPU and memory
* Multi-Function I/O card (LAN/Console connection/SCSI)
* system console
* DTC16 (option 0DG &endash; 6 modem/8 direct connect ports, ThinLAN)
The SPU, memory, and base I/O come preinstalled at the factory.
Default configurations for up to three 14 port (6 modem/8 direct) DTC16s are
preloaded on the system at the factory as well. Customers are expected to
connect the system console and DTC16 only.
Many peripherals are customer installable. Some of the most common are:
* additional workstations
* RS-232 printers
* external peripheral package (up to 1 Series 6000 multi-mechanism package)
* additional DTC16s (up to 3 total in 14 port configurations)
While not included in the system price, installation and site services can be
purchased for these "customer installable" components from HP's Professional
Services and Systems Support organizations. Since larger
configurations increase the installation time and complexity, there is a limit
to customer installable configurations. The limits are one external peripheral
package only and up to three DTC16s.
Many peripherals, networking, and I/O include HP CE installation. They are:
* HP-IB interfaces/devices
* PB-FL interfaces/devices
* additional SCSI interfaces
* 802.3 LAN
* 802.5 Token Ring
* Remote communication products based on PSI
* X.25
* DTC16 in configurations other than 14 ports (6 remote, 8 local)
* DTC48
* add-on memory not ordered as an option to the system
In Europe, HP CE installation is bundled into the system price for all Series
9x7LX and 9x7 systems.

Integrated System Solution (A1883A and A1884A)
To ease ordering and speed installation, integrated cabinet products are
the preferred choice for customers desiring a racked system solution. These
products contain options for disk storage, DTCs, and a DDS tape drive. When
the system and racking options are ordered together, the
entire system (including SPU, disk, tape, and DTC) will be
pre-installed in the cabinet prior to shipment from the factory.
Customers desiring to have peripheral only configurations (DTC48, disk, DDS)
can use these products to meet their racking needs as well. Add-on DTC48,
Series 6000 multi-mechanism products (disk and DDS), and 7980/7980XC tape
drives not in the Integrated Cabinet product structure will need to be
installed at the customer site. %%Refer to table on page 2-11 for the necessary
hardware to rack these components.%%
Customers requiring DTC configurations not provided by the Integrated Cabinet
product can either order a stand-alone DTC48 (2345A) with the appropriate
rack mount kit or select one of the
configurations offered in the Integrated Cabinet product and order additional
DTC Connector cards (X.25 etc.) for installation in the field.

Field-Installed Cabinets
Standalone cabinets are also available for customers who decide to rack their
system components after the initial system installation. Care must be
exercised when configuring these cabinets to ensure that all appropriate
cabinet components (filler panels, peripheral mounting kits, etc) are ordered
to successfully rack the system, and that the configuration does not exceed
the 16-amp current limit of the cabinet. Refer to page 2-11 for a table of
supported racked components. Component racking for these cabinets is performed
at the customer site.
For each of the components that need to be racked, the appropriate
racking hardware must be ordered. Order filler panels to cover unused cabinet
space.

Configuration Worksheet
The worksheet below will help in configuring a basic multiuser Series 9x7LX or
9x7 system. Use it as a guideline, but note that particular customer needs
(performance, etc ) may dictate different configuration choices.
++STEP 1 - Select a system++
Select the HP 3000 that best fits the customer's performance and user needs.
System || Standard Memory || Standard Disk || Expansion Slots
=Series 917LX || 24 MB || 670 MB || 2
=Series 927LX || 24 MB || 1.3 GB || 2
=Series 937LX || 32 MB || 1.3 GB || 2
=Series 937 || 32 MB || 1.3 GB || 12

=Series 977 || 96 MB || 1.3 GB || 12
=Series 987 || 96 MB || 1.3 GB || 12
++STEP 2 - Determine memory requirements++
Memory requirements will vary depending on the specific applications running on
the system. If there is not information available on the memory requirements of
the customer's applications, the following rule of thumb may be used:
* Memory = 16 Mbytes + (0.5 to 1.0 x number of concurrent users)
%%Note 1 MB per user should be used at the low end of the 9x7LX/9x7 family.
Note that the maximum supported memory is 192 Mbytes for all 9x7LX systems
and 384 Mbytes for all 9x7 systems. The 967 has a maximum memory of
512 Mbytes and the 977 and 987 have a maximum memory of 768 Mbytes at MPE/iX
Release 4.5.%%
The following table illustrates the ordering recommendation for the typical
memory configurations.

For memory requirements beyond available options, standalone memory must be
ordered: 8 Mbytes (A2230A), 16 Mbytes (A2231A), 32 Mbytes (A2232A), 64 Mbytes
(A2511A), and 128 Mbytes (A2516A) at MPE/iX Release 4.5. Please be aware of
possible slot limitations due to existing memory modules.
++STEP 3 - Determine disk storage needs++
Disk requirements will vary with the number of active users and the nature of
the customer's application. As a general rule of thumb the following formula
can be used:
* Disk Storage = 400 Mbytes + (40 Mbytes x Number of Concurrent Users)
For disk storage beyond what is supported internal to the system package,
external disks will need to be ordered as stand-alone products. %%Refer to
Chapter 6 for more information on external add-on SCSI, HP-FL, and HP-IB disk
drives.%%
System || Standard Disk\(SCSI) || Internal Disk Options\(SCSI only)
|| Maximum Disk\ (internal and external)
= 917LX || .67 GB || 1.3 GB || 24 GB
= 927LX, 937LX, 947LX, 957LX, 967LX || 1.3 GB || N/A || 24 GB
= 937, 947, 957, 967, 977, 987 || 1.3 GB || 2.7 GB / 4 GB || 66 GB
Enter the number of SCSI disks required (including internal)
Enter the number of HP-IB disks required
Enter the number of HP-FL disks required
(Note: LX versions do not support HP-FL)
++STEP 4 - Choose a tape backup solution++
Every Series 9x7LX and 9x7 system comes standard with a 2.0 GB DDS format tape
drive capable of backing up data at 11 MB/minute. The chart below can be used
as a guide for selecting an appropriate backup solution. %%See Chapter 6 for
more detailed information on back-up solutions.%%
Tape Back-Up Recommendation
∅\Type of Back-Up Disk Storage to be
backed up (Gbytes)
=∅ || 2.5 || 2.5 - 4 || 4 - 6 || 6 -10 || > 10

|| ≥ 3 DDS
= On-line (with
TurboSTORE/XL II) || 1 DDS || 1 DDS || 2 DDS || 3 DDS ||
≥ 4 DDS
Enter the number of SCSI DDS drives required (including internal)
++STEP 5 - Select a printer++
Both system and serial printers are supported on the 9x7LX and 9x7 systems.
%%Consult chapter 6 for supported printers.%%
HP-IB system printers require a PBA-IB card (A1747A) which uses two
HP-PB slots (Series 9x7LX systems have only two slots). Consequently, having an
HP-IB printer or HP-IB back-up device may require the purchase of a Series 9x7
package with its expanded number of slots.
Record the number of HP-IB printers required
Record the number of serial printers required
++STEP 6 - Network link products++
For MPE/iX systems, NS 3000 Point-to-point and IBM (SNA, BSC) communications
require a
PSI card. Each PSI card occupies one HP-PB slot.
Record the number of PSI cards required
Second 802.3 HP-PB LANIC card occupies one HP-PB slot
802.5 Token Ring LAN card occupies one HP-PB slot
++STEP 7 - I/O interface cards++
I/O interface cards allow the system to communicate with peripheral devices.
The number of each card required depends on the number and type of peripheral
devices that will be connected to the system. Use the configuration rules in
Chapter 5 to determine the number of SCSI, PBA-IB, and PB-FL interfaces
required.
To verify that the number of cards required do not exceed the capacity of the
system package enter the quantity of each interface card required in the slot
worksheet below.
I/O Interface Cards || Quantity || || || || Number of Slots
= Enter number of SCSI interfaces(not including integrated SCSI on

++STEP 8 - Terminal connect (DTC16 and DTC48)++
DTCs are used to connect HP 3000s to local terminals, remote terminals (via
modems), serial printers, and provide access to X.25 and ARPA networks. The
number of DTCs required will depend on the number of ports needed to connect
users, printers etcetera and the mode of network distribution.
The table below illustrates the recommended solution for various port
configurations. %%For further detail on DTC16 or DTC48 or information on X.25
or Telnet connections, consult Chapter 7.%%

%% * Provides a factory integrated solution with SPU, DTC48, and external disk
racked in a 1.1 or 1.6 meter cabinet. See pages 2-8 to 2-12 for more
details on these integrated solutions.%%
++STEP 9 - LAN cabling++
A 2 meter 802.3 LAN cable is included with each Series 9x7LX and 9x7 system
for attaching the DTC. Distributed DTC configurations will need longer cables
which are orderable from CPO.
++STEP 10 - Console/terminals++
Each Series 9x7LX and 9x7 system is supplied with one 700/92 terminal as the
system console. All necessary console attachment hardware is included.
Several high-quality terminals are available for the HP 3000:
