ORDER NUMBER DP37-02 May 1983 Honeywell CP-6 DPS 8/C Configuration Guide PREFACE This guide at·tempts to provide nearly complete freestanding information for configuring any portion of a CP-6 DPS 8/C system. Included in this outline are only the DPS 8/C systems announced in March 1981 and updated by subsequent announcements. In addition, this material covers all peripherals which are the most current for DPS 8/C and the Level 66/DPS Band C systems. To configure CP-6 central systems and front end processors for other than DPS 8/C systems use the CP-6 Configuration Guide, Revision 6, February 23, 1981, available from the CP-6 Program Office. The guide is constructed to be as self-teaching as possible and to provide for configuring both initial system orders and subsequent add-ons. Material in this outline dealing with DPS 8/C central systems consists mainly of a set of charts and brief summaries which are designed to be largely self-explanatory. By following the appropriate flowcharts and tables you will be able to configure any initial system order or add-on order accurately. This material is divided into gross functional sections. Be sure to read the Table of Contents in full before using the configuration material. The table will show you the pattern of approach used in configuring. Section 1 summarizes key general rules and policies which govern configura­ tion of DPS 8/C systems. Before doing any configuring you should always review Section 1. Section 2 provides master flowcharts which identify the sequence and compo­ nents to be considered in configuring. Detach the pertinent flowchart(s) and keep it in view while you use it to access other portions of this material in order to configure easily, completely, and accurately. The flowchart has chapter references to other sections for detailed information on configuration of the components at each level of the flowchart. Section 3 contains overview configurators to give you the perspectives for complete systems. Section 4 covers the configuring of central systems and memory sizes. Included in this section are all marketing identifiers for all central systems. The information and specifications in this document are subject to change without notice. This document contains information about Honeywell products or services that may not be available outside the United States. Consult your Honeywell Marketing Representative. FileNo.:4AW2 DP37·02 HONEYWELL CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY CP-6 DPS 8/C Configuration Guide Section 5 covers the configuring of the components needed within each IOM. Th~se components relate to physical and logical IOM channels for peripheral subsystems and IOM aggregate load considerations. Sections 6 through 9 cover the configuring of unit record, magnetic tape, mass store, and console subsystems. Section 10 introduces you to some generic terms and concepts related to data communications and front end processors (FEPs). Section 11 covers the configuration of the DN8/C FEP. Section 12 deals with manually controlled peripheral switches. Section 13 includes the motor-generator sets and circumstances dealing with their use. Section 14 covers CP-6 software products. Site preparation information for DPS 8/C may be found in the Site Preparation Manual for DPS 8/20, 8/44 (Order Number DL64) and in the DPS 8 (Freestanding) Site Preparation Manual for DPS 8/52/62/70 (Order Number DN01). Site preparation information for configurable DPS 6 peripheral equipment may be found in the DPS 6 Systems Site Preparation Manual (Order Number CP77-00). ill HONEYWELL CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY CONTENTS Page Section 1.
