Chapter 1
Base System Description
This chapter describes the VAX 4000 Model 300 base system, including the
following:
• Power-on self-tests
• Digital Storage System Interconnect (DSSI) architecture
• Specifications for the KA670-AA/-BA CPU and MS670-BA memory
1.1 System Overview
All VAX 4000 Model 300 base system components are housed in a BA440
enclosure, which contains a 12-slot backplane.
Each base system contains the following:
• A KA670-AA/-BA (IAOOO-Al-B) central processing unit (CPU) module
• From one to four MS670-BA memory modules.
The base system modules are located in the following BA440 card slots:
• Any MS670-BA memory modules are installed in slots 1 through 4.
• The KA670 CPU module is installed in slot 5.
The base system operates from the KA670 CPU firmware and the controls
on the console modUle. The firmware is described in Section 1.2. Base
system operation also integrates Digital Storage System Interconnect
(DSSI) technology, which is discussed in Section 1.5.
Figure 1-1 is a block diagram of the VAX 4000 Model 300 system.

1.2 Firmware Overview
Two electrically programmable read-only memory (EPROM) chips on the
KA670 CPU module contain the firmware. This firmware consists of the
following three major programs, which perform the system power-on self-
tests and diagnostics:
• A console program
• A set of self-tests for the CPU and memory
• A primary bootstrap program (VMB)
The console program receives control whenever the processor halts. In
a processor halt, processor control passes to the console program and
instruction execution continues. The standard VAX console functionality
is emulated whenever you execute a program in ROM.
Control passes to the firmware under any of the following conditions:
• You power-on the system.
• You press the Restart button.
• You assert the Q22-bus BHALT signal by pressing the Halt button.
• You enter a break when the Break EnablelDisable switch is set to
enable.
• A HALT instruction is executed.
• A system error occurs.
Base System Description 1-3

1.3 Power-On
At power-on, the console program determines the console device type and
console language, then runs the self-tests for the CPU and memory. You
choose
the console language when you perform the set-up operations during
your console terminal installation procedure.
You determine
the type of power-on mode by setting the Power-On Mode
switch on
the CPU console module. See your VAX 4000 Dual-Host Systems
manual for the following power-on information:
• Power-on procedures
• Power-On Mode and Break Enable1Disable switch settings
• Examples of successful power-on sequences
• Boot and autoboot procedures
See
the VAX4000 '1}-oubleshooting and Diagnostics manual for examples of
problems you may encounter during power-on.
1.4 Console 1/0 Mode Overview
If you set the Break EnablelDisable switch on the console module to enable,
the console program enters Console 110 mode after the power-on self-tests
are completed successfully. The console program also enters Console 110
mode in response to any external halt condition.
CAUTION: Do not press the Restart button while the console program is
in console mode. Doing so destroys the system state and prevents normal
operation.
Console I/O mode allows you to control the system by typing commands
at the console prompt (»». You may enter these commands in either
uppercase or lowercase letters. Enter each command, then press IRetum!.
1.4.1 Control Characters in Console I/O Mode
Table 1-1 lists the keypad control characters that have special meaning in
Console I/O mode.

The carriage return ends a command line. No action is taken on
a command until after it is terminated by a carriage return. A
null line termlnated by a carriage return is treated as a valid, null
command. No action is taken, and the console prompts for input.
Carriage return is echoed as carriage return, line feed «CR><LF».
When you press 0 (rubout), the console deletes the previously typed
character. The resulting display differs, depending on whether the
console is a video or a hardcopy terminal.
For hardcopy terminals, the console echoes a backslash (\)
followed by the character being deleted. If you press additional
rubouts, the additional deleted characters are echoed. If you type a
non-rub out character, the console echoes another backslash, followed
by the character typed. The result is to echo the characters deleted,
surrounding them with backslashes. For example:
EXAMI;E0!!1 NE<CR>
The console echoes: EXAMI;E\E;\NE<CR>
The console sees the command line: EXAMINE<CR>
For video terminals, the previous character is erased and the
cursor is restored to its previous position.
The console does not delete characters past the beginning of a
command line. If you press more rub outs than there are characters
on the line, the extra rubouts are ignored. A rubout entered on a
blank line is ignored.
Toggles insertion/overstrike mode for command line editing.
By
default, the console powers up to overstrike mode.
Echoes I\C<CR>
and aborts processing of a command. Has no effect
as part of a binary load data stream. Clears Ictrllsi and re-enables
output stopped by I cwo I.
Moves the cursor one position to the left.
Moves the cursor to the end of the line.
Moves
the cursor one position to the right.
Recalls the previous commands.
Deletes the previously typed character. Same function as !!I
(rub out), above.
Ignores transmissions to the console until you enter ICtrilO I. Echoes
1\0 when disabling output, which is not echoed when it re-enables
output. Output is re-enabled if the console prints an error message,
or if it prompts for a command from the terminal. Output is also
enabled by entering Maintenance mode: press IBreakI or enter ICtri/C I.
Resumes output to the console terminal. Not echoed.
Base System Description 1-5

Table 1-1 (Cant.): Console I/O Mode Control Characters
Character Action
Echoes <CR><LF>, followed by the current command line. Can be
used to improve the readability of a command line that has been
heavily edited.
Stops output to the console terminal until you enter Ictrllol. Not
echoed.
Echoes AU<CR>.
Entered, but otherwise ignored if typed on an
empty line.
The console accepts Console I/O mode commands up to 80 characters long.
Longer commands produce
error messages. The character count does not
include rubouts, rubbed-out characters, or the <CR> at the end of the
command.
Two
or more consecutive spaces and tabs are treated as a single space.
Leading and trailing spaces and tabs are ignored. You can place command
qualifiers
after the command keyword or after any symbol or number in
the command.
All
numbers (addresses, data, counts) are hexadecimal, but symbolic
register names contain decimal register numbers. The hexadecimal digits
are 0 through 9 and A through F. You can use uppercase and lowercase
letters in hexadecimal numbers (A through F) and commands.
The following symbols are qualifier and argument conventions:
[] = an optional qualifier or argument
{} =a required qualifier or argument
1.4.2 Console 1/0 Mode Commands
Table 1-2 lists and describes the Console I/O mode commands. You can
display the list of commands by typing HELP at the console prompt (»».
For a complete explanation of how to use the commands, along with
information on qualifiers and arguments, refer to the KA670 CPUTechnical
Manual (EK-KA670-TM).

IcwcI to stop the command. You can specify any valid console
command except the REPEAT command.
Finds all occurrences of a pattern and reports the addresses where
the pattern was found. If you include the !NOT qualifier, the
command reports all addresses for which the pattern did not
match.

device connected to the controller. The command does not indicate
whether the device contains a bootable image.
Displays
