Start Up and Verification
For start up and preliminary verification of the LANIC. perform the following:
1. Turn on computer system power.
2.
A self test. which is contained on the card. will execute at power on. There
are 15 LEOs on the front edge of the LANIC card (see Figure 2-1). The
seven LEOs on the top are used to indicate activity on the AUI cable. The
eight LEOs on the bottom are used by self test.
The power-on self test begins with all eight selftest LEOs 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 selftest LEDs 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 LEDs will be lit for at least 100 milliseconds
for every test. thus each code will be visible as the LEOs increment the
count. No binary codes are skipped. The binary codes and the self tests
they represent are listed in Chapter 4.
Watch the LEOs as the selftest program executes. If the self test
completes with no errors, the ST LEO will be on and the other seven
LEOs will be off (a code of all zeros) for five seconds. After five
seconds, the ST LED will go off. and the remaining LEOs 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 selftest LED blinks
slowly.
Note that if the self test indicates failure 36H or 46H, this could indicate
that the MAU is not connected. Verify that it is connected. If the
failures are still indicated. the error could be in the MAU, or the coaxial
cable. If the LANIC fails self test, refer to Chapter 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 Relerence M anllal. part number 32033-90005.
4.
Run the LAN diagnostic on the LANIC/MAU combination. Refer to the
LA N / 3000 Diagnostic and Troubleshooting Guide, part number 30242-90003
for information on running the diagnostic.
