3.3 Unsuccessful Power-Up Self-Test Display
If one of the self-tests fails after you initially turn on the system, the power-up
self-test halts after it displays the failing test number. The system displays
the contents of certain system registers, then performs the remaining power-up
self-tests. After completing the remaining tests in the sequence, the system
displays the console prompt.
The following display shows a sample power-up self-test failure, with test
group 21 failing:

3.3. 1 If a Test Fails
If you see a power-up self-test display similar to the one shown in Section 3.3,
perform the following checks:
Make sure that all external connections, cables, and power cords are
secure.
2
Make sure that the standard Ethernet cable or Thin Wire Ethernet cable, if
installed, is properly connected.
3
If you have expansion boxes connected to your system, make sure that
the SCSI cable is properly connected and that the last expansion box is
properly terminated.
Run the power-up self-tests again. To run the power-up tests again, press the
halt/reset button or enter the following command at the console prompt:
>> test OxO
If the error remains, see the DECsystem 5100 Operator's Guide for information
on troubleshooting, and on contacting your Digital Customer Service
