CHAPTER 1 RCI Build Procedure  
This chapter explains the following items regarding the initial build procedure of the  
Remote Cabinet Interface (RCI) in the installation work.  
1.1  
RCI Overview  
RCI is an interface to connect RCI Host (general name for main units supporting RCI  
and for RCI I/O units).  
In this manual, a base cabinet and an I/O unit that support the RCI are referred to as an  
RCI Host and an RCI I/O unit, respectively. Furthermore, RCI Hosts and RCI I/O  
units are generally referred to as RCI device.  
To connect RCI I/O units or to use the RCI asynchronous monitoring functions for an  
FJ cluster, a setup using the RCI setup commands is required in addition to the  
connection with RCI cables.  
1.1.1  
Overview of RCI connection  
There are two types of main unit: midrange servers equipped with one RCI and high-  
end servers equipped with two RCIs.  
I/O units include units equipped with one RCI and units equipped with two RCIs.  
The following figures show different RCI connection patterns:

1.2 RCI command  
1.2  
RCI command  
RCI commands are used to display RCI configuration information and set node  
addresses.  
To connect I/O units equipped with RCI ports, a setup using RCI commands is  
required in addition to the connection with RCI cables.  
Remarks: When you use the terminal function of the External power controller,  
perform the setrcic command and confirm setting or connection of the  
External power controller. For details of the setrcic command, see the RCI  
User's Guide or man page.  
1.2.1  
Command list  
The RCI commands are explained below.  
Table 1.1 Command list  
Command  
setrci -c stat  
Function  
Displays RCI configuration information. This command  
is used after the RCI setup to verify  
that the settings of the host and I/O units have been made  
correctly.  
setrci -c init  
Initializes the RCI configuration information.  
If other host units are connected through the RCI, the  
RCI settings must be initialized on each host unit.  
You can use this command if the system is powered off.  
setrci -c set [host_no] Sets up an RCI Host node.  
Before this command can be executed, the RCI settings  
must already have been initialized.  
host_noÅF Integer numbers from 1 to 32 are assigned  
in this order.  
setrci -c initconfig  
setrci -c addconfig  
Assigns an RCI address to an I/O unit connected via RCI.  
Before this command can be executed, the RCI Host  
node settings must already have been made.  
Makes the RCI settings for the case that a host unit or an  
I/O unit is added.

RCI Setup  
This section explains the RCI setup for the following cases:  
Remarks: Please refer to Appendix A, "Troubleshooting." when there is a problem at  
RCI setup.

3 Verify that the RCI address is 000f7fff.  
Remarks: 000f7fff is the default value of the RCI address. If the default value is not  
set, execute the setrci -c init command to initialize the value.  
If the system is powered off, you can use the setrci -c init command.

4 Connect the main unit and I/O units with RCI cables (see Figure 1.5).  
Connect an RCI branching connector to each of the RCI ports, and connect them with  
RCI cables by using a daisy-chain connection.  
Connect an RCI terminating resistor to the branching connector at either end of the  
RCI connection. Refer to Section 1.3.5, "Connection of RCI."  
5 Turn on the AC input to all the RCI device which are in the RCI connection.  
6 Execute the setrci -c set command to make the settings of the host node.  
Since the main unit is the first unit, host_no is 1.  
XSCF> setrci -c set 1  
The command completed successfully  
7 Execute the setrci -c initconfig command to configure the RCI.

3 Verify that the RCI address is 000f7fff.  
Remarks: 000f7fff is the default value of the RCI address. If the default value is not  
set, execute the setrci -c init command to initialize the value.  
If the system is powered off, you can use the setrci -c init command.

4 Connect main unit B, which is to be added, with an RCI cable (see Figure 1.8).  
Connect an RCI branching connector to each of the RCI ports, and connect them with  
RCI cables by using a daisy-chain connection.  
Connect an RCI terminating resistor to the branching connector at either end of the  
RCI connection. Refer to Section 1.3.5, "Connection of RCI."  
5 Turn on the AC input to all the RCI device which are in the RCI connection.  
6 On main unit B, execute the setrci -c set command to make the settings of the  
host node.  
Since the main unit is the second unit, host_no is 2.

Connection of RCI  
According to the following procedure, connect different units with RCI cables by  
using a daisy-chain connection.  
1 Prepare RCI branching connectors and RCI terminating resistors.  
All of them are supplied with the main unit.  
2 Connect the main unit and I/O units with RCI cables (see Figure 1.9 and

Connect the RCI branching connector (1) to the RCIport on an XSCF unit of the  
main unit.  
2
Connect the RCI branching connector and the RCI port of an I/O unit with an RCI  
cable (2) by using a daisy-chain connection.

1.3 RCI Setup  
Remarks: Up to 32 RCIs including the RCI main unit can be connected. Use the  
repeater function of the external power controller to extend the cable length  
used and to increase the number of connected RCI device. Note that the  
maximum RCI cable length is 150 meters.  
Remarks: The external power controller is included in the number of RCI device

z Pattern A  
1
Check the RCI setup procedure, the RCI address value and the connection.

2
Check the setting of the RCI address and the duplicate of the RCI address by setrci -c stat command.  
Check whether the othr RCI host that doesn't execute the RCI initialization is connected.

Check the RCI address value of current unit and other unit by setrci -c stat command.  
In the case of anomaly, retry RCI setup in correct procedure.  
z Pattern D

2
Check whether 95 and more units of RCI I/O unit (include the External power controller) are not connected.  
When 95 and more units are connected, change the connection configuration to 94 and less units (include the  
External power controller), and retry RCI setup.  
z Pattern E

2
Replace the XSCF board.  
After the replacement of the XSCF unit, retry RCI setup.  
z Pattern F

2
Check whether RCI address value of the Line selector switch is not duplicated.  
If the duplicate, change the RCI address of the Line selector switch, and retry RCI setup. To change the RCI  
address of the Line selector switch, refer to its manuals.  
z Pattern G  
Check the state of XSCF, and execute either of the following operations.  
When XSCF reboot or redundancy are working, execute the setrci command after these are completed.  
If the above-mentioned doesn't correspond, retry the setrci command.

Appendix A Troubleshooting  
A.2 In the Case Where RCI Status of RCI Host  
Changes From ACTIVE to INACTIVE  
Remarks: When this problem has occurred, do not replace the XSCF unit because it  
is not a failure of the XSCF unit.  
This problem is occurred by the mistake of the RCI construction procedure and the  
RCI connection.  
t occurrs when the same RCI address is set and constructed, or, when connecting with  
the RCI network of the construction of the RCI host that has not been initialized.  
Confirm whether to correspond to this problem. The procedure is the following:  
1 Excute showlogs command, and check whether RCI configuration conflict is  
generated in error log.  
2 When that message was generated, check the RCI establishment procedure,  
the RCI address value and the connection.  
3 In the case of anomaly, correct the RCI address or the connection of relevant  
device according to the change procedure of each device.
