Every time you turn on your system, it runs a series of self-tests on the
CPU and memory. Your console terminal first displays a line of information
identifying the CPU, the version of the firmware, and the version of VMB—
the primary bootstrap program. In the sample screens provided in this
chapter, the CPU is identified as a KA660–A, and the versions of the
firmware and primary bootstrap are indicated as n.n. Your system will
display actual version numbers. The console terminal then displays a
countdown as the system tests itself. When the self-tests are successful,
the system either autoboots system software or goes into console mode, as
described in Sections 2.4.1 and 2.4.2.
If your system detects an error during its self-tests, it displays an error
summary consisting of several lines of hexadecimal numbers. A Digital
service representative can use the error summary to diagnose the system.
Depending on the type of error, one or more error summaries may display
on the console terminal. A sample error summary is shown in Figure 2–2.
