Enabling the MSDL
Enter ENL MSDL x to enable the MSDL manually. If the MSDL base code has not been
previously downloaded or if the card version is different from the one on the system disk, the
software is downloaded and the card is enabled.
To force software download and enable the card, enter ENL MSDL x FDL. This command
forces the download of the MSDL base code and the configured peripheral software even if it
is already resident on the card. The card is then enabled.
To enable a disabled MSDL and its ports, enter ENL MSDL x ALL. This command downloads
all peripheral software (if required) and enables any configured ports on the card. This
command can be issued to enable some manually disabled ports on an already enabled
MSDL.
Disabling the MSDL
To disable an MSDL card, enter DIS MSDL x.
To disable the MSDL and all its ports, enter DIS MSDL x ALL.
Resetting the MSDL
To reset an MSDL and initiate a limited self-test, the MSDL must be in a manually disabled
state. To perform the reset, enter RST MSDL x.
Displaying MSDL status
To display the status of all MSDL cards, enter STAT MSDL.
To display the status of a specific MSDL, enter STAT MSDL x. The status of the MSDL, its
ports, and the operation of each port appears.
The command STAT MSDL x FULL displays all information about an MSDL (card ID, bootload
firmware version, base code version, base code state, operation state, date of base code
activation) as well as the version, state, and activation date for each card operation.
Self-testing the MSDL
To perform extensive self-testing of an MSDL, enter SLFT MSDL x. This test can be activated
if the card is in the manually disabled state. If the test passes, the system outputs the card ID
and a pass message. If it fails, the system displays a message indicating which test failed.
