Booting is suported from PCI SCSI disk, Ethernet, and FDDI devices.
1.6.2 OpenVMS Alpha
OpenVMS Alpha fully supports the system. Symmetrical multiprocessing,
OpenVMS clusters, and all other OpenVMS Alpha features are available
on the system. OpenVMS Alpha is released only on CD-ROM, which is
supported for initial system load through a SCSI device.
1.6.3 Digital UNIX
The system fully supports the Digital UNIX operating system, which is re-
leased only on CD-ROM. CD-ROM is supported for initial system load
through a SCSI device.
1.6.4 Diagnostics
1.6.4.1
ROM-Based Diagnostics
CPU module ROMs contain a complete set of diagnostics for the base sys-
tem components. These diagnostics include CPU, memory, I/O port, and
generic exercisers for multiprocessing, memory, and disks.
The following diagnostics are included in the CPU module ROMs:
• KDM70 – XMI to SI disk/tape
• KZMSA – XMI to SCSI disk/tape
• KFMSB – XMI to DSSI disk/tape and OpenVMS clusters
• CIXCD-AC – XMI to CI HSC disk/tape and OpenVMS clusters
• DEMNA – XMI to Ethernet networks and OpenVMS clusters
• DEMFA – XMI to FDDI networks and OpenVMS clusters
• DEFAA – Futurebus+ to FDDI networks and OpenVMS clusters
The system diagnostic software is composed of:
• ROM-based diagnostics
• The loadable diagnostic execution environment
• Online exercisers
• CPU module self-test
• CPU/memory interaction tests
• Multiprocessor tests
• I/O port tests
• DWLMA tests
• DWLAA tests
• Futurebus+ bus exerciser (FBE) tests
• System kernel and I/O exerciser script
— Floating-point exerciser
