If the diagnostics were loaded in standalone mode, press the F3 key until

DIAGNOSTIC OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS displays. Then press the F3 key once

again to shut down the AIX operating system.

– If the

diagnostics were loaded in maintenance or concurrent mode, type the

shutdown -F

command.

ŸUnder some conditions, the system might stop, with instructions displayed on attached displays and terminals. Follow the instructions to select a console display.

Running Standalone Diagnostics

Consider the following when you run Standalone Diagnostics:

ŸThe diagnostic CD must remain in the CD-ROM drive for the entire time that

diagnostics are running.

ŸThe diagnostic CD cannot be ejected from the CD-ROM drive after the diagnostics have loaded. The CD can only be ejected after the system has b

turned off and

then

turned on (standalone mode) or after the diagnostics prog

has

terminated

(online

concurrent mode).

Ÿ The

CD-ROM drive

from

which diagnostics were loaded cannot be tested.

ŸThe SCSI adapter (or circuitry) controlling the CD-ROM drive from which diagnostics were loaded cannot be tested.

Running the Diagnostics from a TTY Terminal

Consider the following when you run diagnostics using a TTY-type terminal as the console display:

the

operator manual for your

type of TTY terminal to find

ŸWhen the diagnostics present information through the Serial 1 port to the ASCII display, certain attributes are used. These attributes are set as if the

were

ŸIf you have a TTY terminal other than a 3151, 3161, or 3164 attached to serial port, your terminal may have different names for the attributes. Use attribute descriptions in the following tables to determine the settings for y terminal.
