• DESQA — Ethernet station address
• SGCA — On-board Ethernet controller embedded in KA5n CPU
• PDIB — DSSI adapter for Bus 1, embedded in KA5n CPU

In addition to showing information about testable device options, MDM
displays messages indicating the presence of nontestable system devices. If
a device is in your system but is not listed in the System Configuration and
Devices display, one of the following two messages can indicate the reason.
No Dg xxx ... Diagnostic not loaded
MDM displays a No Dg (no diagnostic) message for each nontestable Digital
device in your system, where xxx indicates the device. For example, if MDM
cannot find the TK70 tape drive diagnostic, the message No Dg TKA is displayed.
TKA indicates that the device is a TK tape drive. Such a message can appear
when:
• The medium is not installed properly.
• The diagnostic is not on the medium.
Unknown ... Diagnostic not loaded
The Unknown (unknown device) message indicates that a device not recognized
by MDM is attached to your system. That message appears when:
• A device is configured to a nonstandard CSR address.
• A Digital device that has no diagnostic is attached to your system. That
can occur if a device not supported on your system is attached.
