Preface
The Digital CELEBRIS 486 Service Maintenance Manual is a troubleshooting guide that can be used for
reference when servicing the CELEBRIS 486 line of PC’s.
Digital Equipment Corporation reserves the right to make changes to the Digital CELEBRIS 486 series
without notice. Accordingly, the diagrams and procedures in this document may not apply to the
computer(s) to be serviced since many of the diagnostic tests are designed to test more than one product.
CAUTION
Digital recommends that only A+ certified engineers attempt to repair this equipment.
All troubleshooting and repair procedures are detailed to support subassembly/module
level exchange. Because of the complexity of the indivual boards and subassemblies, no
one should attempt to make repairs at component level or to make modifications to any
printed wiring board. Improper repairs can create a safety hazard. Any indications of
component replacement or printed wiring board modifications may void warranty or
exchange allowances.

Chapter 2 System Utilities &
Configuration
System Utilities
The following sections provide detailed instructions on running the MS-DOS utilities contained on the
supplied utilities diskettes.
PHLASH.EXE
All computers have BIOS software in a read-only, non-volatile memory (ROM) chip. This BIOS initializes
hardware and boots the operating system when the computer is turned on. The BIOS also provides access
to other services such as keyboard and disk drives.
The computer comes equipped with flash memory. This means that the computer's BIOS can be restored
simply by running the PHLASH.EXE utility. The computer's BIOS may also be upgraded to future releases
by running PHLASH.EXE along with any flash BIOS update diskette if necessary.
Before Using PHLASH.EXE
When not familiar with utility programs and their uses, carefully read and understand the following
instructions before attempting to use PHLASH.EXE.
Have the following items available:
♦ Blank 3½-inch 1.44 MB formatted diskette
♦ Diskette copy of the computer utilities
CAUTION
When not familiar with utility programs and their uses, carefully read and understand
all of the listed topics before attempting to use PHLASH.EXE.

Before attempting to upgrade the flash BIOS, ensure that J24 is set correctly. To perform a flash BIOS
upgrade, J24 must be set to enable. After the upgrade, make sure J24 is set back to disable as a security
measure. Refer to “Main Logic Board Jumper Settings”.
Creating a Crisis Recovery Diskette
A crisis recovery diskette should always be prepared before attempting to upgrade the BIOS. This diskette
is used to reprogram the BIOS in case the flash process fails. To create a crisis recovery diskette:
1) Turn on the computer and allow the POST to complete. If POST detects an error refer to
“Troubleshooting” and take the appropriate steps to correct the problem. After the problem has been
resolved, restart the computer.
2) At the MS-DOS prompt, copy the following files from the System Utilities diskette to a directory on
the hard disk drive:
MINIDOS.SYS
VGABIOS.EXE
MAKEBOOT.EXE
MAKEBD.BAT
3) Insert a blank formatted diskette into drive A.
4) On drive A, make a directory for the files previously copied.
5) From drive C: type MAKEBD.BAT This copies the files to drive A.
6) The monitor displays a warning about deleting the files on drive A. This ensures that the bootsector is
properly positioned on the diskette.
7) Remove the crisis recovery diskette from drive A and store it in a safe place.
Using the Crisis Recovery Diskette
The crisis recovery diskette must be used only if the computer's BIOS fails or if a BIOS upgrade was
unsuccessful. If the computer's BIOS fails:
♦ POST detects an error after a normal boot cycle or a BIOS upgrade.
♦ The BIOS in the bootblock memory executes.
♦ The computer beeps several times.
♦ The diskette drive begins searching for the crisis recovery diskette.

Upgrading the computer BIOS
These utilities and video drivers enable to upgrade or restore the computer's BIOS and take full advantage
of its enhanced video features.
NOTE
If this is the first time using these utility programs and/or video drivers it is
recommended to follow the procedures in the order given.
1) Turn on or reboot the computer. If POST detects an error, refer to “Troubleshooting” for possible
causes and suggested solutions.
2) Create a recovery diskette if not already done so.
3) Insert backup copy of the System Utilities diskette into drive A.
4) At the MS-DOS prompt, type a: PHLASH.
A screen appears on the monitor warning that you are about to erase the computer’s BIOS.
5) Press [Enter] to continue. Else, press [ESC] to cancel.
Once [Enter] has been pressed, PHLASH.EXE automatically updates the computer’s BIOS.
After the flashing process completes, the computer automatically reboots itself so changes
immediately take effect.
6) Remove the system utilities diskette.
BIOS Setup Utility
The information listed below explains how to configure the computer using the BIOS Setup utility. If the
computer was delivered with factory-installed software, it has already been configured.
When familiar with utility programs and their uses, refer to the material in the options table while updating
the computer. Otherwise, carefully read and understand all the information in this chapter before
attempting to modify the computer's configuration settings.
Running the BIOS Setup Utility
The BIOS Setup utility enables to select and permanently store information about the computer's hardware
and software in the battery-backed memory of the CMOS RAM. This information takes effect each time
the computer boots and can be changed each time you run setup.
Use the BIOS Setup utility when experiencing problems with the hard disk or need to reconfigure the
computer. In addition, the BIOS Setup utility might need to be used to modify the configuration after
adding or removing hardware, or after changing computer settings.
To run the BIOS Setup utility:
1) Turn on the computer and allow the POST to complete.
2) Make a note of any configuration errors listed, and then press [F2] to display the main menu.
3) Follow the instructions on the monitor screen and any on-line help pop-up screens to configure the
computer.

Safety Requirements
WARNING
Static electricity collects on non-conductors such as paper, cloth, or plastic. A static
discharge can be damaging even though you often cannot see or feel it.
The following safety precautions must be observed to insure product and personal safety and prevent
damage to circuit boards and/or components:
♦ Always wear an ESD wrist strap when handling ESD sensitive material and be sure it is properly
connected.
♦ Keep circuit boards and components away from non-conductors.
♦ Keep clothing away from circuit boards and components.
♦ Keep circuit boards in anti-static bags.
♦ Be cautious when AC power is exposed when working on an assembly.
♦ Always use an isolation transformer when diagnosing any terminals, monitors or power supplies
when AC power is applied.
♦ Be cautious of very high voltage potentials when working with monitors.
There should be an approved insulating mat (for technician safety) in front of any workbench where
monitors, terminals or power modules are being serviced when power is applied.
NOTE
Do NOT wear ESD straps when working on terminals,monitors or power supplies
when AC power is applied. This is to avoid the hazard of electrical shock.
