16. Insert blank panels into the vacant slots of the VME chassis. This improves
airflow and reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) radiation.
17. Your installation is complete and power can be turned on.
18. When you turn power on, the Power LED lights (refer to Figure 3–1) and the
Digital Alpha VME 4 module runs its power-up self-test display (POST). This
takes about 30 seconds.
The POST runs a number of tests that show their status on the LED display.
These tests complete successfully when the display counts down to zero.
The POST then runs a number of additional tests that display their status
on the console terminal. These tests have completed successfully when the
console prompt appears (>>>) and the LED displays a rotating bar. For more
information on the POST, refer to the diagnostics chapter.
