Before Test verifies any SCSI devices on the SCSI bus, it checks the SCSI controller for proper operation. Test checks direct access media SCSI devices, which include Winchester and HP magneto-optical drives, by invoking a diagnostic that resides on the drive. Non-direct access media devices, such as tape and floppy drives, are not tested. If the drive’s diagnostic passes, Test searches the drive for an Apollo PV label to find the location of the drive’s reserved diagnostic logical blocks. Once it locates the...

HP-HIL interfaces in graphics display controllers are considered an external interface. Note that if an internal HP-HIL interface and a remote terminal are both present in a system, they are both enabled. Similarly, if an external HP-HIL interface and a remote console are both present in a system, they are both enabled, provided no internal key- board is present.
If no output device is present, but a keyboard is, then that keyboard still acts as the console input device. Similarly, if no input device is present, but a display controller is, then that display controller still acts as the console output device. If neither an input device nor an output device is present, the Boot ROM goes ahead and automatically boots the default operating system as long as no errors are discovered during self test (see Section 4.9 for more information about the Boot ROM self tests).
If a failure is detected in the power-up test, the following failure message is displayed: HP98643 (LAN) at 21, 080009000001 Failed This message shows that one of the internal tests on the interface failed. The tests in- clude register operations, shared ram, non-volatile ram checksum and several different internal loopback tests.

Table 4-6 lists these messages. The address’ 5 most significant hexadecimal digits are FFFFF, so only the 3 least significant digits (LSD) are used in the table. When a range of addresses is shown, each address in the range is six addresses apart. When an “UNEXPECTED” failure message equates to an interrupt level, vectored interrupt, or trap, the following situations normally exist: Interrupt levels 1 through 7 Can happen at any time and are usually caused by an interface set to the indicated interrupt level.
The highest priority failure also sets off the beeper. The lower 7 bits of the LED value are sounded off, most significant bit first, one second per bit, with a zero represented by a low tone and a one represented by a high tone. If the failure was a Boot ROM checksum error, the following message is displayed: CONTINUE AT OWN RISK (Press RETURN To Continue) Once this message has been printed, the RETURN key must be pressed to continue to the boot scanner.

Too many interfaces for EEPROM to manage. Reconfigure system unit with fewer interfaces. Only the interfaces’ select codes are listed in the main Configurable Interfaces menu. HP-IB is fixed at select code 7 and cannot be changed. Most built-in interfaces have several configurable features. Interface default values are listed in the following table. Table C-5. Built-in Interface Default Configurations Interface Configuration Function Default Options Optional HP-IB Select Code (cannot be changed) None System Controller RS-232 Select Code 0 to 31 Remote/Local Sys. Unit Shipped with Keyboard Local Remote Sys.
• Interface - the built-in configurable interfaces. If an interface listed in your screen’s left-hand side does not appear in the Main Configuration menu, that interface cannot be configured from I/O Configure Mode. • Select Code - the listed interfaces select code. The standard-speed HP-IB in- terface is fixed at select code 7. When you get the power-up display in HP- UX compatible mode or enter I/O Configuration Mode, default select codes are listed. If you change an interface select code and save the new configura- tion, the new select code is listed the next time you turn on your system unit. You may also revert back to the default settings.

The three columns in the RS-232 menu are similar to the Configurable Interfaces menu: • Key indicates the feature you want to select. To exit the interface menu, type <X> <RETURN>. • Feature lists each configurable function for the selected interface, • Value shows the current value (or mode) for each function. Note that all Interface menus are not the same. Each has its own features available for configurations.
C.4.3 Using the Control Functions Your Configurable Interfaces menu has three control functions N store New values D store Default values (then cycle SPU power) A Abort without changes • N saves all listed interfaces reconfigured values in the EEPROM. You can turn OFF your system unit, then turn it back ON and the values you configured the interfaces to are used. Then the self-test runs. • D exits the Configuration Mode and resets the factory default configurations. You must cycle system unit power to reconfigure the interfaces to these default values. • A causes the Boot ROM to reset and run the self-test without saving any new interface configurations you may have made. The interfaces’ existing configu- rations are used.
The ‘1’ key now changes definition to mean that when it is typed, you want to change the built-in HP-IB interface’s system controller function. System controller is the only function this interface has. A “Y” in the value column means that the built-in HP-IB is the system controller. To change your built-in HP-IB interface’s system controller function to ‘no:’...

NOTICE: After you have made the required changes to your system unit’s built-in interface configurations, you must use the In- terface menu and make the changes permanent. Otherwise, if you turn the system unit off, then back on again, the original interface configurations will be in effect. The following procedure explains how to configure internal interfaces. Procedure C-1 Configuring Internal Interfaces To configure internal interfaces, perform the following steps: 1.

The path to the selected operating system is stored in the EEPROM when you execute the Auto System Select menu. If your workstation or system environment changes and the operating system you previously selected as the default has moved to another mass storage device, you must reconfigure the EEPROM. To reconfigure for the new path to the operating system you want, enter Configuration Control Mode, select Auto System Select and reselect the operating system.
Appendix D Connecting Terminals to Domain/OS Systems You can troubleshoot a Domain Compatible mode system that has display problems by connecting a terminal to the system SIO line. This appendix provides procedures to connect the standard field terminal or another node to the system’s SIO line. Using a Field Terminal The data terminal currently available for field use is a specially modified IXO model TC301. This device is battery powered with a 1-line, 16-character LCD display. The terminal communicates at 300 baud only, and is configured as a DCE device. It plugs into the system, and its attached cable needs no adapters.
4. You are now ready to connect the field terminal to the system and access the Using a Workstation as a Terminal If you need to use another workstation to emulate a terminal, type the following next to the “$” shell prompt: $emt < RETURN > When you receive the “emt > “ prompt, enter the following three command lines: emt >...
