When <strong>the</strong> IPL operation starts, <strong>the</strong> <strong>System</strong>/7 processor is reset, <strong>the</strong> load light on <strong>the</strong>operator console turns on, and <strong>the</strong> addressed disk storage module moves <strong>the</strong> read/writeheads to cylinder 0 to locate sector 0 on <strong>the</strong> selected disk. The contents of sector 0 are<strong>the</strong>n read from <strong>the</strong> disk and transferred into processor storage locations 0 to 127. After128 words have been transferred, <strong>the</strong> processor begins executing instructions at location0 on priority level 3. When execution begins, <strong>the</strong> level 3 accumulator contains <strong>the</strong> IPLindicator in bit 0 and <strong>the</strong> module address of <strong>the</strong> disk storage module in bits 10 to 15. Bit0 will be set off if <strong>the</strong> IPL was started by pressing <strong>the</strong> program load key; it will be set onif <strong>the</strong> IPL was started by <strong>the</strong> auto restart function.If an error is detected during <strong>the</strong> IPL operation just described, <strong>the</strong> processor stops and<strong>the</strong> load light remains on. Operator attention is required to restart <strong>the</strong> IPL operation.The 5022 Disk Storage Module is programmed using <strong>the</strong> prepare I/O and halt I/O commandsas described in Chapter 4 under "Input/Output Instruction." Read andwrite commands transfer data and control information between <strong>the</strong> disk storagemodule and <strong>the</strong> processor module. The setting of <strong>the</strong> modifier field bits in <strong>the</strong>command fur<strong>the</strong>r defines <strong>the</strong> operation to be performed.In all I/O commands addressed to <strong>the</strong> disk storage module, <strong>the</strong> device address field isnot used, but should be set to 0. The module address varies depending upon <strong>the</strong> physicallocation of <strong>the</strong> I/O module in <strong>the</strong> 5026 Enclosure. Disk I/O execution time also variesdepending on <strong>the</strong> location of <strong>the</strong> disk storage module within <strong>the</strong> 5026 Enclosure. Timingrelationships for <strong>the</strong> possible locations of <strong>the</strong> disk storage module are indicated by t (x)in Figure 15-6. The time value (t) increases from minimum to maximum within <strong>the</strong> appropriaterange of PIO time given in Figure 15-6. For estimating purposes, a straight line interpolationcan be used to approximate <strong>the</strong> value of t for any location.Note that, although 16-bit control information words are transferred between processorstorage and <strong>the</strong> disk storage module, <strong>the</strong> disk file circuits correlate <strong>the</strong> identifier fieldsin <strong>the</strong> 16-bit word with <strong>the</strong> corresponding fields in <strong>the</strong> proper ID bytes on <strong>the</strong> disk. Thiscorrelation is covered in more detail under "Flagging," later in this chapter.Range of PlO timeEnclosure (nanoseconds) 5026 A2 5026 C35026 A2 1900-23005026 C3 2000-24005026 C6 2000-25005026 D3 or D6* 2500-31005026 D3 or D6** 3300-3900*shortest external cable length**longest external cable lengthProcessorModule 1t1ProcessorModule 1t2Module 2t1ProcessorModule 1t2Module 2t15026 C6..::.n/lOciiiie' ' ::::t5 ...Module 4t4Module 5t35026 D3 5026 D6...........................t3Module 8t3Module 11t0Module 9t2Module 10t1Module 9t2Module 10t1Module 12t5Module 13t4The disk storage module is not permitted in <strong>the</strong>se locations.Figure 15-6.
