– 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.
Under 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:
The diagnostic CD must remain in the CD-ROM drive for the entire time that
diagnostics are running.
The 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 been
turned off and then turned on (standalone mode) or after the diagnostics program
has terminated (online concurrent mode).
The CD-ROM drive from which diagnostics were loaded cannot be tested.
The 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:
See the operator manual for your type of TTY terminal to find the key sequences
you need to respond to the diagnostics. For the 3151, refer to the

3151 ASCII

Display Station Guide to Operations

, form number GA18-2633. For the 3164,
refer to the

3164 ASCII Color Display Station Description

, form number
GA18-2617.
When the diagnostics present information through the Serial 1 port to the ASCII
display, certain attributes are used. These attributes are set as if the diagnostics
were using a 3161 display terminal. The following tables list attributes for the
3161 ASCII Display Terminal and for two other ASCII display terminals
commonly used with the system.
If you have a TTY terminal other than a 3151, 3161, or 3164 attached to the S1
serial port, your terminal may have different names for the attributes. Use the
attribute descriptions in the following tables to determine the settings for your
terminal.
