Emulex DCP/MUXi Diagnostic Program

The diagnostic program that comes with the Emulex DCP/MUXi card allows isolation of the diagnostic test to four areas of card operation. Selection of any one of these test areas causes a submenu to display with additional selections that test only a specific function of that card area.

To run the diagnostic program that comes with the Emulex DCP/MUXi card, you need the disk entitled DCPMUXI Diagnostic that is shipped with the card and a bootable MS-DOS disk. With these items, you can perform the diagnostic program. If UNIX is running, shut down UNIX using the Shutdown procedure in Chapter 6. The Altos 5000 and Altos 15000 systems do not have the same power-up procedure. This difference is accommodated in Step 1.

1.For the Altos 15000 system, insert the bootable disk containing MS-DOS and power on the system. To do this, move the RESET/RUN key on the front panel clockwise from RESET to RUN. Proceed to Step 4.

For the Altos 5000 system, insert the bootable MS-DOS disk into the disk drive and move the RESET/RUN key on the front panel clockwise to the RUN position to reboot the System 5000 (if the System 5000 is turned off at this point, move the power switch on the rear panel to the ON position instead). The System 5000 will run through its normal power-up sequence and display the following message:

Press spacebar to interrupt autoboot

2.PRESS: the spacebar immediately

The Boot Menu appears (see Figure 8-1).

3.Select Option 2 to boot from the floppy.

4.Once the system has booted, insert the disk entitled DCPMUXi Diag Disk into disk drive and

TYPE: dcpdiagm

PRESS: Enter

The Main Menu is displayed.

5.Select the Modify option and PRESS: Enter

The Configuration Menu is displayed.

6.Select the Control address option and PRESS: Enter

7.Select the appropriate address and PRESS: Enter

For valid addresses, see Table 2-1 (5000 host) or Table 2-5 (15000 host); both are in Chapter 2.

NOTE

Only one EMULEX DCP/MUXi card can be tested at a time. Do not mix parameters from two cards.
