4 DESCRIPTION & DIAGRAMS
The Vision 7400 is the new System being marketed by EDP.
The dual processor-ready Vision 7400 was designed specifically for workgroups with high performance requirements and extensive storage needs. Sporting an innovative twelve bay chassis design, it supports six hot-plug drive bays, six additional fixed storage devices and a dual 350W hot-plug, redundant power supply subsystem. This design also offers, intuitive, tool-free access to major system components, simplifying maintenance, serviceability and reducing downtime. Complementing this high level of serviceability is a wealth of advanced server management features and powerful Pentiumâ III processor performance.

5 SUB ASSEMBLIES
5.1 DR300
Cabling to the DR300, the top is Channel One, and if the actual cable has no terminator then a terminator must be fitted to the SCSI OUT on DR300.
5.1.1 The DR300 can house up to three hard drives.
5.1.2 vision1image807n7400dr300status.gif (28915 bytes)
5.1.3 vision1image807m7400dr300jump.gif (29561 bytes)
5.1.4 On the rear of the DR300 shown above are the jumper blocks.

Leave the SCSI ID's to the factory default

Top device          SCSI ID 0
Middle device      SCSI ID 1
Bottom device     SCSI ID 2
Immediate & local spin up
Fan fail set to visual & audible alarms

CHECK JUMPER SETTING

5.1.5 Jumper Block D3

AUD adding this jumper will silence the audible fan fail alarm but leave the visual fan fail alarm functioning

RMT* adding this jumper prevents the device from spinning up until it is signaled by the host controller. On boot up as the host scans the SCSI bus each device is brought on line in turn.

DLY* adding this jumper activates the delayed spin up mode of the installed device.

This generally delays the initial spin up of the device for a given time period to allow a number of devices to spin up sequentially, thus spreading the peak power demand on the power supply. The time delay is based on a multiple of the SCSI ID number and may vary from one manufacturer to another.

*These features are selected for all 3 devices, different devices within a DR300 cannot have different start up selections.

5.1.6 Remove all ID jumpers from the actual device and use only the jumpers on the DR300
5.1.7 The DR300 will house any industry standard 3.5" x 1" high single connector device. Device must be mounted on a Lapis Solutions device carrier, and locked into position using the camming lever.
5.1.8 The DR300 offers both visible and audible information concerning the status of the unit.

Power/ Fan Fail The Fan Fail LED indicates either a 'normal' or a 'filed' condition, Green being normal and red being a fail condition.

There is, in addition, an audible warning of a fail condition which can be silenced if required by the removal of jumper J2 on the door mounted pcb.

Device Presence Each device position has a dedicated LED to show the presence of the device. With a device installed the LED is on, with no device the LED will be off.

Device Activity The above LED will flash when the device is active.

5.2 4mm DAT Tape Deck

Seagate STD 2401LW
DDS4 Technology
Backwards compatible to read tapes from 3400 & 3800.
Not backwards compatible for DDS4 tapes created on it to be read by 3400 (DDS-1)or 3800 (DDS-2)
DIP switch settings 1 = OFF 2 onwards ON
Connection for SCSI ID = 4
NOTE: Wrong DIP switch settings will give the wrong identity of the manufacturer.

5.3 CD ROM

Hitachi CR 594 – C IDE must be set for Master

5.4 FLOPPY

DISASSEMBLY

To access the interior

Remove front panel by depressing the release pads either side.

To remove the left hand side, undo the 3 bright green knobs on the left front.

Use the handle on the left panel front to pull the panel forwards, and remove.

The interior is now accessible.

The diagram below shows the lay out

vision1image807d7400side.gif (26288 bytes)
6.2 To Remove a PSU

At the rear, undo the screws and remove the PSU.
Note. Both PSU fans run - even when 1 PSU is removed.

6.3 To remove Fans.

NOTE: All fans are monitored, so that is why they have 3 wires going to them.
Access the interior.
To remove a fan, squeeze the coloured parts, and they can be removed. Disconnect the power lead.
There are 2 x 120mm, and 1 x 60mm fan. The DR300 also has a fan.

NOTE: The PSU fans will both operate even with one PSU removed.

6.4 To Remove Disc from Hot-Plug Drive Bay
Open the front door.
If the rive carrier is locked, use a hex key to unlock it. A red flag indicates locked.
Press down on the carrier handle and rotate it downwards; and when it releases, pull the carrier and drive out.
6.5 To Remove the DR300
Access the interior.
Disconnect all cabling
Release the two tabs at either side and withdraw it completely
6.6 To Remove a Media Drive from the DR300
Remove the front panel.
Unlock the DR300 front door and open it to access the inside.
On the Media drive carrier, Press the vertical coloured locking tab to the right to release the metal camming lever, which is pivoted on the left.
Pull the right hand side of the camming lever until the carrier is released and withdraw the media drive.
7 SCSI CONTROLLER
Ensure the BBU is disconnected before insertion or removal of DIMM's.
8 MOTHERBOARD
With only one CPU installed then a terminator must be fitted to CP2 No2.
