Table C-1. LEDs and System Startup Status

Status
Machine just turned on.
Now asserting SYSFAIL because
VXIbus interface has not been
initialized yet.
VXI interface is being initialized by
MITE power-on self configuration
(POSC) circuitry.
POSC circuitry has initialized VXI
interface, setting PASSED and
DONE bits.
POSC cycles are complete. VXI port
is ready to respond to Resource
Manager inquiries.
Resource Manager has been
executed, indicating that the VXI
software can now communicate with
the VXI circuitry.
If either the SYSFAIL or FAILED LED remains lit, perform the following
steps.
1. Power off the mainframe.
2. Remove all other modules from the mainframe.
3. Make sure that the VXIpc-700 jumper settings are correct.
4. Make sure that the VXIpc-700 is seated properly in the mainframe.
5. Power on the mainframe and observe whether the SYSFAIL and
FAILED LEDs become unlit some time before the operating system
boots.
The VXIpc-700 is not receiving
power.
Power-on self configuration (POSC)
cannot execute because of problems
with system reset or because the
POSCEN switch is incorrectly
configured.
POSC has stalled.
POSC stalled before clearing the
TEST LED.
POSC completed successfully;
however, the Resource Manager
either hung or was not executed.
Resource Manager interface
initialized successfully.
