PREFACE
This manual describes diagnostic tests for use in manufacturing
and field servicing the Motorola System 6300 Computer, which
contains one 68010 processor board.
You can select an entire test or an individual subtest, or add
new tests and subtests. In addition, test sequences, which are
combinations of specific tests and subtests, execute using a
single command.
Section 1 of this manual describes how to load and run the
diagnostics. In addition, Section 1 describes the interactive
help feature, special hardware.requirements, and the error
reporting modes.
Section 2 describes each test and its subtests in detail.
Section 2 also discusses error output and notes the parameter
values that you specify to run each test. In addition, this
section provides a complete list of errors and output for each
test.
Section 3 describes how an experienced programmer adds a new
test.
Section 4 describes the general error conditions that can arise
when any of the tests are executing.
Appendix A provides a list of test sequences that include
multiple tests.
Appendix B provides output for the default test sequence.
Appendix C recommends a sequence for testing the System 6300
Computer.
Appendix D describes how to use the RS-232-C emulation in the
Fastrak 30 Workstation's read only memory (ROM) to run
diagnostics when the Fastrak 30 Workstation cannot be downloaded
from the Winchester disk drive (for example, prior to
installation).

SECTION Is RUNNING THE DIAGNOSTICS
This section describes the System 6300 diagnostics and how to run
them.
TYPES OF DIAGNOSTICS
There are three types of System 6300 diagnostics— subtests,
tests, and test sequences.
Subtests and Tests
Subtests are simple checks. For example, one subtest verifies
that timer 0 is working correctly. A test is a group of related
subtests. For example, the memory test comprises write 0's,
write l's, and write addresses subtests; and the parity test
consists of read and execute parity error subtests.
The specifications for both tests and subtests are pairs of
positive integers. For a subtest, the first number of the pair
is the test number, and the second number is the subtest number.
For a test, the pair consists of the test number and a zero. For
example, in the following pairs:
8,5
8,0
the first pair specifies subtest 5 of test 8. The second pair
specifies test 8 (i.e., all subtests available for test 8). (The
default for the second value is zero.)
Test Sequences
Test sequences are predefined combinations of tests and subtests.
Some test sequences (for example, the parity test sequence)
consist of a single test. Other test sequences (for example, the
default test sequence) consist of multiple tests.
Alphabetic characters denote test sequences. To run a test

Running the Diagnostics
sequence from a terminal, specify only the command letter that
denotes the given test sequence. For example, to execute the d
default test sequence, type only the letter d and press the
RETURN key.
Appendix A lists the test sequences that include multiple tests.
SPECIAL HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
There are two special hardware requirements for running System
6300 Computer diagnostics:
1. To use a terminal, attach the terminal via a cable
containing a line for data set ready (DSR) to the RS-
232-C port. The diagnostics use DSR to determine that a
terminal is connected.
2. To run the RS-232-C tests, connect a terminator plug for
each RS-232-C port that you test. On a basic system
executing in attended mode, the only requirement is
connector B with the following connections:
pin 2: to pin 3
pin 4 to pin 5
pin 8 to pin 20.
LOADING THE DIAGNOSTICS
