ST ART UP AND VERIFICA TION
For start up and preliminary verification of the LANIC, perform the following:
1. Turn on computer system power.
2. A self-test on the card, will execute at power on. There are 15 LED's on the front edge of the LANIC
card (see figure 2-1). The seven LED's on the top are used to indicate activity on the AUI cable. The
eight LED's on the bottom are used by self-test.
The power-on self-test begins with all eight self-test LED's blinking on and off in unison for
approximately 10 seconds. Thereafter, the bottom LED (labeled "ST") is lit to indicate that the
self -test is in progress, and the remaining seven self -test LED's will perform a binary count,
incrementing from 0000001 to 0101110 and executing a self -test for each binary code displayed.
Some tests require several seconds to execute, some tests require much less, but the LED's will be lit
for at least 100 milliseconds for every test, thus each code will be visible as the LED's increment
the count. No binary codes are skipped. The binary codes and the self-tests they represent are
listed in Section 4.
Watch the LED's as the self-test program executes. If the self-test completes with no errors, the
ST LED will be on and the other seven LED's will be off (a code of all zeros) for five seconds.
After five seconds, the ST LED will go off, and the remaining LED's will reflect activity on the
LANIC. If the self-test fails, the code of the test that failed will be displayed for a minimum of
20 seconds. This display will continue until the system accesses the link, while the self-test LED
blinks slowly.
Note that if the self test indicates failure 36H or 46H, this could indicate that the ThinMAU is
not connected. Verify that it is connected. If the failures are still indicated, the error could be in
the ThinMAU, or the coaxial cable.
If the LANIC fails self-test, refer to Section 4 for
maintenance procedures, and for further information on the self -test.
3. Start up the system in accordance with the procedures contained in Appendix A of this manual and in
the
HP 3000 System Operation and Resource Management Reference Manual,
part
number
32033-90005.
4. Run the LAN diagnostic on the LANIC/ThinMAU combination. Refer to the
LAN/3000 Diagnostic
and Troubleshooting Guide, part number 30242-90003
for information on running the diagnostic.
RESHIPMENT
If any item of the LAN/3000 link is to be shipped to Hewlett-Packard for any reason, attach a tag
identifying the owner and indicating the reason for shipment. Include the part number of the item being
shipped.
Pack the item in the original factory packing material, if available. If the original material is not
available, good commercial packing material should be used. Commercial packing and shipping companies
have the facilities and materials to repack the item.
BE
SURE TO OBSERVE ANTI-STATIC
PRECAUTIONS.
