System Will Not Pass Self-test
power dipswitch (e.g. dipswitch S3 on an rp5430 or rp5470), try disabling processors 1 and 2 by placing
switch 2 and 3 on dipswitch S3 to off. After eliminating the processors as potential faulty part(s),
replacement of the system card may be necessary.
4. If the above memory missing alert message is displayed, install at least one pair of memory DIMMs in
their proper DIMM slots and retest. If the memory subsystem is OK, a typical VFP output appears as:
I/O

This indicates that the self-test proceeded to the I/O testing of the core SCSI/LAN card. Insert or replace
the core SCSI/LAN card and retest. If this does not fix the problem, then replace the PCI I/O backplane
card and retest.
5. At this point the system should boot successfully to BCH and BCH commands could be used to check out
the system. It should then be possible to boot to IPL from the support CD-ROM and to use any available
offline diagnostics or utilities to fully test the system. Alternatively, you can attempt to boot from the
internal disk, external disk, or a support CD-ROM all the PCI I/O cards and the internal peripherals and
boot to BCH successful. If you cannot get to BCH at this point, it would be best to concentrate on the VFP
chassis codes and any alerts generated during the self-test and/or analyze the GSP error log contents to
troubleshoot the system further.
