Checking The Power-Up Self-Test Display - Digital Equipment DECsystem 5100 Installation Manual

3.2 Checking the Power-Up Self-Test Display
When you turn on the system unit, a power-up display is displayed on the
console terminal screen. The power-up self-test consists of a series of tests,
each test having an identification number. The system displays the number
of the currently executing test followed by two periods. As you can see from
the following example, test 26 is the first test to execute, and the test sequence
counts down to test 3, the last test.
If you see a display similar to the following, your system has passed all the
power-up self-tests.
26 .. 25 .. 24 .. 23 .. 22 .. 21 .. 20 .. 19 .. 18 .. 17 .. 16 .. 15 .. 14 .. 14 .. 14 ..
13 .. 12 .. 11 .. 10 .. 9 .. 8 .. 7 .. 6 .. 5 .. 4 .. 3 ..
