Installation
1. Unpack the computer.
2. Using the information in the "Line Voltage and Fusing" subsection of the Installation and
Configuration manual, ensure the line voltage, and ground, are correct and within tolerance.
3. Ensure the line voltage switch
is set correctly: up for 110 Vac; down for 220 Vac.
4. Ensure the fuse is correct for the voltage being applied to the system you are installing.
5. Remove the shipping spacers in the 110 card cage.
6. Refer to the "Switch Settings"
and "Interconnections" sections in the Installation and Con-
figuration manual, then set the switches
and install each of the interface driver cards.
7. Install the peripherals. Refer to the installation instructions that are shipped with the peripher-
als for installation information.
8. Using the information
in the self-test subsection of the Installation and Configuration manual,
apply power to the computer
and ensure that it passes all the self tests.
9. Load the HP-UX Operating System. Refer to the "System Administrator Manual" to load
and run the system operating software. Ensure all self-tests are successfully passed.
10. Verify correct system operation by using the System Functional Test in the HP-UX Operating
System
and ensure that the computer is operating correctly with the systems peripherals.
Preventive Maintenance
There is no regularly scheduled preventive maintenance. Clean the filter screen when required for
good air flow.

Reset Self-test 110 Card Processor Status

Cage LEDs Stack Leds LEDs
Front Panel LEOs and Switches
Diagnostics Overview
Self-tests run:
• At power on.
• Self-test switch pressed.
• Self-test switch pressed for 3.5 seconds. Press switch again, or cycle power, to terminate the
self-test loop.
Board Self-Tests
The board self-tests reside on each stack board and 110 board that has a microprocessor. The tests
are initiated before the boot loader
is transferred to the RAM, and are not dependent on the loader.
The system control module generates the self-test initiation signals.
When a board
fails, the sequence stops and the corresponding stack LED is lit. The board before or
after the indicated board may be bad disrupting the initiating signal. Some failures will causeseveral
LEOs to tum on. The faulty board is the one corresponding to the lowest numbered lit LED. LEOs
that correspond to 1M byte RAM boards will blink while the board is performing its self-test.
Ifthe RAM memory controller is bad, the appropriate LED will light and the self-test will stop.
Ifan 110 board fails its self-test, an LED on the I/O board will light, and a status signal will be made
available for the loader code to respond to during loader self-tests. Some 110 cards do not have
self-tests (the GPIO for example).

5-2 9050 Diagnostics
Boot Loader Self-Tests
The boot loader performs the following checks and operations before transferring control to the
operating system.
1. Initializes the 1/0 cards:
a. Looks for a device to display system loader messages (starts with Graphics Display).
b. Checks I/O cards for what is available and where it is located.
c. Turns on I/O card cage LEOs for 112 second.
2. Sends Loade r Re \1_ to the output device.
3. Performs loader
I/O self tests:
a. Checks each select code for interface card and status.
b. Checks I/O cards and internal HP-lB for self-test failure.
c. Checks SCM.
d. Checks I/O bus.
e. Checks real time clock 0.1 second register.
4. Outputs "System Loader Message" for failed I/O card self-tests.
a. Failure message is sent to the display device and SCM.
b. Select code channel that failed indicated on I/O card cage LEOs and failure error code is
displayed when reset switch is pressed.
c. No indication on LEOs for failed I/O select code in the I/O expander. Error message is on
the display.
d. This error reporting is for a bad I/O card. Later messages are for peripheral devices.
