1 Testing This chapter provides an overview of the testing procedures for the VAXstation 3100 Model 76 system. Since the testing procedures for the VAXstation 3100 Model 76 are similar to the testing procedures for the previous VAXstation 3100 models, this chapter will not repeat the information described in Chapter 1 of the VAXstation 3100 Maintenance Guide.
2 Testing 1.1 Running Power-Up Tests Power-up tests run each time you turn the system power ON and, if the tests are successful, the operating system starts booting. Power-up testing consists of a sequence of tests executed for each device installed in the system. The test number of each device is listed on the power-up screen display as the device is tested. To run power-up tests, turn the system power switch ON. Example 1–1 shows an example of the power-up screen display. KA43-A V1.0 F...E...D...C...B.
Testing 3 1.1.1 Power-Up Test Codes The power-up test codes indicate no error, soft errors, status information, or hard (fatal) error information. Any errors found by power-up tests are listed in the power-up tests summary. These errors, as well as the status of all devices installed in the system, are then stored in the configuration table (T 50). Refer to Example 1–3 for an example of the configuration table. Table 1–1 lists the test numbers and the devices that are tested during that particular test.
4 Testing Table 1–1 (Cont.
Testing 5 Any code in the configuration table other than 0000.0001 on the MONO, DZ, FP, IT, or SYS devices indicates a hard error and the system module must be replaced for proper operation of the system. The other devices such as CLK, NVR, MEM, SCSI-A, SCSI-B, and NI may have a code other than (0000.0001) and may still operate normally. 1.2 Running a Self-Test Self-test allows you to test every device again after the power-up tests are complete.
6 Testing NOTE The ThinWire Ethernet port or the standard Ethernet port (depending on which port the customer is using) on the back of the system box must be terminated properly when running diagnostics on the Ethernet circuits (TEST 1). Otherwise, an error code of 0000.7001 or greater is listed in the configuration table. The Ethernet port and SCSI port must always either be terminated or have an expansion box connected. 1.2.
Testing 7 Refer to Chapter 3 of this guide for information on creating the special diagnostic keys on the diskette and tape. 1.3.1 System Exerciser Diagnostic Commands Table 1–2 lists the system exerciser diagnostic commands. When running TEST 0 or TEST 101, the exerciser automatically stops after about 5 minutes and the HALT message (06 HLT INST) is displayed. This HALT message is normal for these two tests. 1.3.
8 Testing Table 1–2 System Exerciser Diagnostic Commands Test T0 Description of Commands 1 Runs customer mode system exerciser. No loopback connectors are needed. Removable media must be loaded in the RX23 disk drive for the exerciser to recognize the drive. The TZ30 does not require media to be loaded. The exerciser tests each device once sequentially, then tests them simultaneously, and stops when the slowest device finishes (about 5 minutes). T 1011 Runs customer service mode system exerciser.
2 Troubleshooting This chapter contains information for troubleshooting the new devices available on the VAXstation 3100 Model 76 system. The label on the back of the system box indicates that you are working on the VS43A-xx. All troubleshooting procedures are performed while in console mode (operating system software halted). 2.1 Troubleshooting Procedures This section contains troubleshooting information for the devices listed below. • 4 Mbyte memory DSIMM (Section 2.
10 Troubleshooting Self-Test Results A code of 00XX.0001 next to the MEM mnemonic indicates no errors (the XX is the total amount of memory installed in the system [in hexadecimal]). Verify that the mnemonic matches the amount of memory in the system. If an error is detected, refer to Section 2.2.1 to determine which module needs to be replaced. There is no further memory test in the system exerciser. The self-test will run complete memory tests if you: 1. Install a loopback on the communication port. 2.
Troubleshooting 11 Example 2–1 shows the second 8-digit number of the MEM display in the configuration table. Each digit represents a SIMM memory module. A code other than 0 in any of the digits indicates an error on a memory SIMM. Each digit contains the status of four banks of memory (1 bank = 1 Mbyte of memory). 4−Digit Error Code ?? MEM 0010.0020 01000000 00000000 Bit map representation of the failed memory bank on a memory module if not all zeros (0000000).
12 Troubleshooting Table 2–1 lists the location of each memory SIMM and contains possible failure codes.
Troubleshooting 13 Running a Self-Test A self-test performs an inquiry of the drive and reports the status of the drive and the SCSI adapter module. No read/write operations are performed. The results are stored in the configuration table (T 50). To run a self-test: 1. Enter TEST 7. 2. Enter TEST 50 to see the results. Self-Test Results A code of 00000001 in the sixth position (if RX23 is at SCSI ID 5) in the SCSI-A bus status line indicates no errors.
14 Troubleshooting Any code other than those listed indicates an error in the device at that SCSI ID. Table 2–2 SCSI Devices Self-Test Status Codes Status Code SCSI Device FFFFFF05 Device is off-line or not installed at this SCSI ID If a drive’s status code indicates FFFFFF05, check the drive’s cabling and power, then retest.
Troubleshooting 15 2.3.1 Running the System Exerciser The system exerciser performs a more thorough test of the RX23 disk and the SCSI adapter module. It performs a read/write operation during the second pass of the exerciser when the special-keyed test diskette is loaded in the RX23 drive before starting the system exerciser. To run the system exerciser: 1. Install a loopback on the communication port. 2. Load the special-keyed test diskette in the RX23 drive.
16 Troubleshooting Example 2–3 shows the system exerciser display for the SCSI-A bus. There is one line for the status of the SCSI-A controller on the system module, and one line for each of the drives installed on the SCSI-A bus. The status of the SCSI controller is next to the SCSI-A mnemonic (first line), and the status of each drive is listed under the controller’s code (separate line for each drive). 7 80A0 SCSI−A Example 2–3 6000.0001 2200.0001 3200.0001 5300.
