Self-Tests - DEC MicroVAX 3100 40 Troubleshooting Instructions

1.2.2 Self-Tests

Self-tests perform the same tests as the power-up tests except for one
difference; the power-up tests test all the devices in the system, whereas
the self-tests allow you to test a single device.
If you encounter a hard error in the power-up test display, follow these steps:
1. Write down the number or mnemonic of the tests that failed.
In the examples in this section, device 9 (NI), the Ethernet device, has
a hard error associated with it. Table 1–2 lists the device numbers,
mnemonics, and names of the system devices.
2. Make sure that all the required cables and terminators are securely
connected to the proper ports by following the procedure described in
Section 1.1.
3. Run the self-test on each device that failed by entering a command similar
to the following:
>>> TEST 9
Alternatively, instead of the device number, you can enter the command
using the device mnemonic:
>>> TEST NI
If the self-test is successful, the system responds with the following display:
>>> TEST 9
OK
