Chapter 2. Using the System Verification Procedure

The system verification procedure is used to check the system for correct operation.

If you are analyzing a hardware problem, see ″Hardware Problem Determination″in

Enterprise Server S80, p Series 680 Model S85 User’s Guide, order number

SA38-0557.

Step 1. Considerations before Running This Procedure

Notes:

1. If this system unit is directly attached to another system unit or attached to a

network, make sure that communications with the other system unit are stopped.

2. This procedure requires use of all of the system resources. No other activity can be

running on the system while you are doing this procedure.

vThis procedure requires a display connected to the video port or an ASCII terminal

attached to the S1 port.

vBefore starting this procedure, stop all programs and the operating system.

vThis procedure runs the online diagnostics in service mode or standalone

diagnostics. If the online diagnostics are installed, they should be run. See the

operator manual for your type of ASCII terminal to find the key sequences you need

to respond to the diagnostics.

vIf you need more information about diagnostics, see the Enterprise Server S80, p

Series 680 Model S85 User’s Guide, order number SA38-0557.

vIf a console display is not selected, the diagnostics stop. The instructions for

selecting a console display are displayed on all of the graphic displays and any

terminal attached to the S1 port. Follow the instructions to select a console display.

vGo to Step 2.

Step 2. Loading the Diagnostics

1. Stop all application programs running on the operating system.

2. Stop the operating system.

3. Turn the power off.

4. If you are loading the standalone diagnostics and running them from an ASCII

terminal, do the following:

vThe attributes for the terminal must be set to match the defaults of the

diagnostics.

vIf you need to change any settings, record the normal settings, and be sure the

terminal attributes are set to work with the diagnostics. If needed, see ″Running

the Diagnostics from a TTY Terminal″inthe Enterprise Server S80, p Series 680

Model S85 User’s Guide, order number SA38-0557.

vProceed to substep 5 when you finish checking the attributes.

5. Turn the power on.
