PRINTING HISTORY
New editions are complete revisions of the manual. Update packages, which are issued between editions,
contain additional and replacement pages to be merged into the manual by the customer. The dates on
the title page change only when a new edition or a new update is published. No information is
incorporated into a reprinting unless it appears as a prior update; the edition does not change when an
update is incorporated.
The sofiware code printed alongside the date indicates the version level of the software product at the
time the manual or update was issued. Many product updates and fixes do not require manual changes
and, conversely, manual corrections may be done without accompanying product changes. Therefore, do
not expect a one- to one correspondence between product updates and manual updates.

RECEIVING THE SYSTEM
~____________~IOO
1-
The Hewlett-Packard Customer Engineer (CE) is responsible for installing the HP 3000 Series 37XE
computer system in accordance with the information in this manual. This includes installation and
verification of the HP 3000 Series 37 SPU, I/O Extender, and any peripherals that are part of the system
order. Hewlett-Packard data terminals should be installed when appropriate. Refer to the policy on
installing HP Data Terminals, as described by the Computer Support Division.
The customer should immediately report any flaws to the HP Customer Engineer and to the carrier or to
the carrier's agent. Be sure to save all crates, cartons, boxes, and packing material for inspection. Do not
make any verbal reports of damage or missing items without making a written report. The Customer
Engineer should report problems that are HP's responsibility to the Support Engineer at the appropriate
HP division.
Missing or damaged items will be replaced without waiting for the settlement of claims. Items shipped to
replace damaged parts will be billed to the customer until the damaged parts are returned to
Hewlett-Packard. The customer should not release the carrier until the shipment is verified to be in good
working order.
The customer is responsible for initially unpacking, inspecting, and locating the system. Disposal of
packing material is also the responsibility of the customer.
Each Hewlett-Packard shipment has a packing list attached to one of the cartons, specifying the materials
shipped. In addition, unpacking instructions are provided as required.

INTRODUCTION
The HP 3000 Series 37XE system, product number 324S0A, is made up of the HP 3000 Series 37 System
Processing Unit (SPU), the I/O Extender, and the system cabinet. Each of the components is described
below.
SPU PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
The Series 37 SPU consists of a five-slot card cage, a power supply, and battery backup circuitry. The
boards that make up the SPU are installed in the following slots:
Slot 5 Central Processing Unit (CPU) *
Slot 4 Peripheral Interface Processor (PIC) or
Advanced Terminal Processor (ATP37) **
Slot 3 5 12k byte Memory, ATP 37, PIC, or empty ***
Slot 2 5 12k byte or 2048k byte Memory *
Slot 1 ATP37 *
* Must be installed in this'slot.
** Do not move the PIC PCA unless four ATP37 PCAs and
two Memory PC As are installed in the system.
*** This slot can be empty if one 2048k byte Memory PCA is installed.
When running some of the diagnostic programs, you may see messages that refer to the TIC. The acronym
refers to the Terminal Interface Controller. The TIC PCA is synonymous with the ATP 37 PCA.
1/0 EXTENDER PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
The I/O Extender provides five additional slots for ATP37, PIC, INP, or other interface PCAs. The
backplanes, power supplies, battery packs, and rear panels of the SPU and I/O Extender are identical.
The differences between the SPU and the I/O Extender are:
