DST 312/412 Interface Kit Installation

3

you will need to install the 32-megabyte SIMMs included in this kit. Instructions
for installing the memory are found on page 6. If you need additional 32 MB
SIMMs, contact your Tektronix representative.

Another method for checking memory is to choose

Start | Programs | PDR Debug

Tools | PDR Diagnostics

from the Windows NT 4.0 desktop, then select

Master

EDR

from the left-hand side of the diagnostics screen.

Look in the GDB960 window that appears for a report of the different memory
sizes on the EDR board along with the I/O buffer memory sizes on both the EDR
Master and Slave. The messages appear as follows:

SRAM - base: fef80404 size: 00077b6c
PRAM - base: ee000494 size: 00077b6c
DRAM - base: fa0b36b0 size: 00e35ab0 (malloc’d)

Sizing Master JPEG Channel A Memory - Found 32 Mbytes.

Memory Base

Address is 0xc4000000

Sizing Master JPEG Channel B Memory - Found 32 Mbytes.

Memory Base

Addressis 0xXX000000

Sizing Slave JPEG Channel A Memory - Found 16 Mbytes.

Memory Base

Addressis 0xXX000000

Sizing Slave JPEG Channel B Memory - Found 16 Mbytes.

Memory Base

Addressis 0xXX000000

In this case, the Master EDR board has 490K of SRAM and PRAM memory
available and 14 Mbytes of DRAM allocated, which indicates that you need to
install a 32 MB SIMM.

If you do not need to install additional memory, skip to “Installing the SCSI
Adapter” beginning on page 10
if you are connecting a DST 412, or to “Installing
the Connecting Cables” beginning on page 10 if you are connecting a DST
312.

Terminology

In these instructions the term tape drive is used to refer to the DST 312 tape drive,
ACL is used to refer to the DST 412 Automated Cartridge Library, and tape
system
is used to conveniently refer to either the DST 312 or DST 412.

WARNING: Before performing any installation or maintenance procedures,
be sure that:

• the rear-panel power switch is in the off position.

• the power cord is disconnected from the video disk recorder and the outlet.
