6.5.7 Identifying a Bad RMC

Under certain circumstances, the RMC will not function. If the problem is caused by a
corrupted shared RAM or corrupted RMC flash ROM, you need to update RMC firmware.
The RMC will not function if:
•
No AC power is flowing from the wall outlet.
•
Shared RAM does not pass its self-test (shared RAM is corrupted).
•
RMC flash ROM is corrupted.
If the RMC is not working, the control panel displays the following message:
Bad RMC flash
The SRM console also sends the following message to the terminal screen:
*** Error - RMC detected power up error - RMC Flash corrupted ***

6.6 SRM Console Diagnostics

The following sections describe troubleshooting with the SRM console.
The SRM console firmware contains ROM-based diagnostics that allow you to run system-
specific or device-specific exercisers. The exercisers run concurrently so as to provide
maximum bus interaction between the console drivers and the target devices.
Diagnostics are executed by using commands from the SRM console. Diagnostics can be run in
the background by using the background operator "<" at the end of the command. Errors are
reported to the console terminal, the console event log, or both.
