Diagnostic Supervisor. Refer to specific chapters for information on
running diagnostics on CPUs, memory, and options.
• Chapter 3, <REFERENCE>(xyp) Scalar Processor, describes
the <REFERENCE>(hyperion) processor giving module specifications,
configuration rules, functional descriptions, and register descriptions.
Diagnostics and module replacement are also discussed.
• Chapter 4, <REFERENCE>(xrp) Scalar Processor, describes
the <REFERENCE>(rigel) processor giving module specifications,
configuration rules, functional descriptions, and register descriptions.
Diagnostics and module replacement are also discussed.
• Chapter 5, <REFERENCE>(xrv) Vector Processor, describes the
vector processor option available with the <REFERENCE>(rigel)
system. Diagnostics and module replacement are also discussed.
• Chapter 6, <REFERENCE>(XMA2) Memory, gives module

descriptions of this memory module. Diagnostics, module replacement,
interleaving, and memory addressing are also discussed.
• Chapter 7, <REFERENCE>(xbi_plus) I/O Adapter, describes
the I/O adapter to the VAXBI option available on either the
<REFERENCE>(hyperion) or the <REFERENCE>(rigel) systems.
• Appendix A lists the <REFERENCE>(hyperion) console error
messages.
• Appendix B lists the <REFERENCE>(rigel) console error messages.
• Appendix C describes the results of executing the UPDATE command
when different ROM revisions are in a system.
• Appendix D describes the boot flags used when booting either the VMS
or ULTRIX operating systems.
