A̲C̲T̲I̲O̲N̲   Reference:  Minutes of Progress Meeting no. 4, section
                     3 d.



         1.  The impacts of exchanging CDC disks with Hewlett-Packard
             7925 H has been investigated.  Some questions have
             not yet been answered by Hewlett-Packard.



         1.1 Specifications of 7925 H

             Power:  220V (240V) + 5%/- 10%
                      50 Hz      +32%/- 5%

             Comment: Specs are not compliant with CAMPS 
                        requirement.

             1)  Size of 1 HP7925 H:

                 Height:  82,5 cm., width:  50 cm.
                 Depth:   81,3 cm., not 19 inches rack mountable.

                 Comment: Volume is greater than volume of
                            CDC/SMD9762 + stabilizer unit as
 ECP
                            0004.





         1.2 Interfacing 7925H with CR-computers.  7925 interfaces
             an IEEE-bus.  An interface module to the CR80 I/O-Bus
             must be developed and SW for handling the interface
             must be developed as well.

             Development costs:

             Hardware: 1.000.000 d.kr.
             Software: 1.000.000 d.kr.



         1.3 Cost impact of HP7925 H.

             Exchanging CDC disks with HP7925 H at 16 sites
             will increase costs with approximately 5.000.000
             d.kr.



         1.4 The above results of investigations are preliminary.

SHAPE        CR ask for SHAPE's opinion on continuing the investigations.



         2.  CDC has been asked for impact of frequency fluctuations.
              Some field test results are available, but further
             tests must be specified and conducted to cover
             CAMPS specifications.  CDC is willing to perform
             field tests on samples from production line, but
             are not able to perform factory testing for frequency
             variation impact.  Additional tests shall be performed
             on systems composed by CR80-controller and CDC
             disk drives.

             Cost impact:   Tests are needed to support the
             spe-
                            cifications of graceful degradation.

             Comment:       CR is willing to give a proposal
             for
SHAPE                       the tests.  The test requirements
                     
                              should be discussed CR/SHAPE.
  CR
                              asks for SHAPE opinion.



         3.  Informations on the actual configuration and the
             CDC/SMD9762 disks:





         3.1 Start-up current consumption is shown on the curve
             of appendix.

             Initial peak current is not shown.  When rating
             Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) based on Static
             inverters, the compatibility of the UPS-design
             with the disk system should be checked carefully.
              An increase in the UPS-power rating with a factor
             three to the start-up power may be necessary.



         3.2 If disk drives are powered from separate power
             inputs, these power inputs require separate filtering.

             Alternative solutions:

             a)  Filters may be supplied by CR included in the
                 MAIN SITE racks.

                 Cost impact:  See ECP 004, sect. 2.3.

             b)  The sufficient filtered power is supplied by
                 SHAPE.



         3.3 In the recent system, no automatic power start-up
             procedures are included.  This is applicable for
             the disk drives as well.



         3.4 Susceptibility of CDC SMD 9762 to shock and vibration
             is given in the appendix.  The specs of the alternative
             unit supplied by AMPEX is attached as well.
