Check for Proper Operation

This procedure requires a video device connected to the node.
1. Switch the node on and watch the power-up and boot messages for signs
of problems. A typical power-up sequence display will contain BIOS
copyright information followed by a System Configuration table: disk
drive types, base and extended memory, etc. A typical boot sequence will
include copyright information, debug messages, and messages tracking
the loading of RLPs.
Watch power-up and boot messages carefully—some errors will cause a
pause, but otherwise will not interfere with the boot process, and the only
way you will know there is a problem is to see the message as it is dis-
played. Be aware of messages that say:
message should appear for each installed RLP.
Some messages are written to a file called BOOTRPT.TXT.
Once the FRX6000 software is running, this file can be dis-
played. (See "Displaying Boot-up Information" on pge 11.)
Once the software has loaded, a screen similar to the following will be dis-
played.
