MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING

Tests may be aborted in this mode if the <ENTER> key is pressed while the test list is executing. The current test list node will continue executing to completion (or until an error is encountered) and the test list will be aborted prior to execution of the next node.

8-4.4.2 Off-Line Diagnostics

Off-Line diagnostics may be invoked through the RS-232 user interface by simultaneously press- ing the START and UNLOAD keys on the operator control panel. Then select the main menu item DIAGMODE by pressing START. The next level of menus begin with run. Press the UNLOAD key once. The operator control panel should now display RS-232. Press the START key to select the RS-232 menu item. At this point, the Operator Control Panel will flash the message “RS-232?” and input will only be accepted from the RS-232 port by entering commands at the Off-Line diag- nostic command prompt. All of the commands discussed in section will be available. Entering the “Quit” command will return control to the Operator Control Panel keys.

8-4.4.3 In-line Diagnostics

The types of tests performed are determined by the Selftest bit of the SEND DIAGNOSTICS com- mand. A selftest bit of 1 performs the default selftest, as described in paragraph a. A selftest bit of 0 directs the target to perform tests defined by the bytes in the parameter list, as described in para- graph b.

a. Selftest

The default selftest consists of the tests described in Table 8-19.

TEST

DESCRIPTION

 

 

 

PCC Timers Timer 0-2 Tests

Test each timer in PCC Function and verify that it operates at 5% of normal value.

 

 

 

 

 

Parity checking: Force parity errors on the CP bus and verify that an interrupt is gener-

CP Bus Tests

 

ated

 

 

 

Invalid Address Detection: Attempt to access an address beyond the known address space

 

 

 

 

and verify that an interrupt is generated.

 

 

 

PCC Tests

External Register Tests: Write/verify to all writable registers and read all readable regis-

ters. Verify RSVP counters and microcode timers in the PCC chip.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

External Register Tests: Write/verify to all writable registers and read all readable regis-

 

 

ters.

 

 

 

SDDP Tests

Data buffer DRAM Verification: Write/verify entire SDDP data buffer DRAM (256 bytes

at a time).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Host Packet Processor: Verify that packet headers are built correctly for EDRC write and

 

 

read operations.

 

 

EDRC Tests

Verify data compression capability with “canned” data patterns

 

 

 

Formatter Tests

Registers for RSVP Interface, Read, Write and Test Jump. Verify formatter counters and

interrupts.

 

 

 

 

Loop Write/Read LVL1 -

Data is written into the data buffer and passed from the data buffer to the MTU. The

Digital Tests

MTU returns the data to the formatter through both the analog and digital check circuitry.

 

 

No tape motion is required.

 

 

Loop Write/Read LVL2 -

Data is written into the data buffer and passed from the data buffer through the formatter.
