12.2 RCI Commands Example of how to use commands Set the MODE switch on the PRIMEPOWER Server to MANUAL and connect the RCI cable. Then turn the power on and enter the following commands from the ok prompt. To initially connect units, enter the following commands: ok rci-config 1 1 ok rci-configio-init To add I/O units later on, enter the following command:...

14.1 Glossary Data Packet A sub-set of the data (including control signals) that forms a single transmission unit. Disk Drive Bay A (metal) frame affixed inside the server or a standalone cabinet that is designed to accept a hard disk drive (or other, similarly sized device, e.g. CR-ROM drive, etc.). Disk Drive Cage A rack of disk drive bays in the server or a standalone cabinet.

CHAPTER 14 Glossary Parity Checking A method of checking the integrity of transmitted or stored data. The number of ones or zeroes in a binary data segment is used to calculate a parity bit which is appended to that piece of data. If the same calculation at a later time produces a parity bit that does not match the previously assigned parity bit, we can know that the value of at least one of the bits has changed, and the data can be rejected as corrupt.
