Running PDC and ISL Diagnostics (Recommended)

Running PDC and ISL Diagnostics (Recommended)
At this point in the installation, it is wise to run the diagnostics available from the PDC
and ISL interfaces. By taking a few minutes to run the diagnostics, you verify the
functionality of the processor, BC, and memory.
To run the PDC/ISL diagnostics:
1. At any PDC prompt, enter the command MEMTEST to execute the extended memory
self-test. Respond to the prompts.
2. Once MEMTEST has completed, go to the ISL interface:
a. If the OS is pre-installed, enter the command PRIMARY at any PDC prompt.
b. If the OS is NOT pre-installed, enter the command ALTERNATE at any PDC prompt
(You need a tape mounted Support Tape).
3. You will see a display like:
Trying boot path 0/52.0.0.0.0.0.0 ...
Booting ...
Interact with ISL? (y/[n]) > y
Answer Y to the prompt.
4. Enter the command EDPROC (x90 (990/992/890), 991/995/T500, and 996/T520) or UDIAG
(997/T600) to run the processor diagnostic with the default sections selected.
5. After the processor diagnostic has completed, enter the command EDBC (x90
(990/992/890), 991/995/T500, and 996/T520) or JAVADIAG and KEYDIAG (997/T600) to
run the Bus Converter (BC) diagnostic with the default sections selected.
