1.2 Firmware Overview Two electrically programmable read-only memory (EPROM) chips on the KA670 CPU module contain the firmware. This firmware consists of the following three major programs, which perform the system power-on selftests and diagnostics: • A console program • A set of self-tests for the CPU and memory • A primary bootstrap program (VMB) The console program receives control whenever the processor halts.
PAGE 13
1.3 Power-On At power-on, the console program determines the console device type and console language, then runs the self-tests for the CPU and memory. You choose the console language when you perform the set-up operations during your console terminal installation procedure. You determine the type of power-on mode by setting the Power-On Mode switch on the CPU console module.

Table 1-1: Console 1/0 Mode Control Characters Character Action IRetum I also The carriage return ends a command line. No action is taken on a command until after it is terminated by a carriage return. A null line termlnated by a carriage return is treated as a valid, null command. No action is taken, and the console prompts for input. Carriage return is echoed as carriage return, line feed «CR>

Can be used to improve the readability of a command line that has been heavily edited. Stops output to the console terminal until you enter Ictrllol. Not echoed. Echoes AU. Entered, but otherwise ignored if typed on an empty line. The console accepts Console I/O mode commands up to 80 characters long. Longer commands produce error messages.
PAGE 16
Table 1-2: Console 1/0 Mode Commands Command Action BOOT CONFIGURE Initializes the processor and transfers execution to the VMB. Invokes an interactive mode that permits you to enter Q22-bus device names, then generates a table of Q22-bus I/O page device CSR addresses and interrupt vectors. Causes the processor to begin instruction execution at the address currently contained in the program counter (PC). Does not perform a processor initialization. Deposits data into the address you specify.

Shows the current state of Control-P halt recognition, either ENABLED or DISABLED. Displays all devices displayed by the SHOW DSSI, SHOW ETHERNET, and SHOW UQSSP commands. Displays the status of all nodes that can be found on the DSSI bus. For each node on the DSSI bus. the firmware displays the node number, the node name.
PAGE 18
Table 1-2 (Cont.): Console I/O Mode Commands Command Action TEST Invokes a diagnostic test program specified by the test number you enter. If you enter a test number of 0 (zero), all tests allowed to be executed from the console terminal are executed. The console accepts an optional list of up to five additional hexadecimal arguments. Performs an 110 bus reset, by writing a 1 (one) to IPR 55 (decimal).

Chapter 3 System Expansion This chapter provides guidelines on how to expand your VAX 4000 Model 300 system. 3.1 Planning Your System Expansion You must consider the following when you decide to expand your system: • Can your system accommodate additional supported options? You determine this by filling in the worksheet (Figure 3-1) with the options currently installed in your system and those you wish to add.
PAGE 117
Use the worksheet as follows: 1. In the Module column, list all options and mass storage devices currently installed in your system, except the controller for the tape drive. The processor module, one memory module, and the TK70 tape drive have already been entered. Use the label on the cover panel of each slot to identify the module installed in that slot. List each RF -series ISA. 2. List the options and mass storage devices you wish to add to your system. 3.
