Chapter 2. Using the System Verification Procedure
The system verification procedure is used to check the system for correct operation.
If you are analyzing a hardware problem, see ″Hardware Problem Determination″ in
Enterprise Server S80, p Series 680 Model S85 User’s Guide, order number
SA38-0557.
Step 1. Considerations before Running This Procedure
Notes:
1. If this system unit is directly attached to another system unit or attached to a
network, make sure that communications with the other system unit are stopped.
2. This procedure requires use of all of the system resources. No other activity can be
running on the system while you are doing this procedure.
v This procedure requires a display connected to the video port or an ASCII terminal
attached to the S1 port.
v Before starting this procedure, stop all programs and the operating system.
v This procedure runs the online diagnostics in service mode or standalone
diagnostics. If the online diagnostics are installed, they should be run. See the
operator manual for your type of ASCII terminal to find the key sequences you need
to respond to the diagnostics.
v If you need more information about diagnostics, see the Enterprise Server S80, p
Series 680 Model S85 User’s Guide, order number SA38-0557.
v If a console display is not selected, the diagnostics stop. The instructions for
selecting a console display are displayed on all of the graphic displays and any
terminal attached to the S1 port. Follow the instructions to select a console display.
v Go to Step 2.
Step 2. Loading the Diagnostics
1. Stop all application programs running on the operating system.
2. Stop the operating system.
3. Turn the power off.
4. If you are loading the standalone diagnostics and running them from an ASCII
terminal, do the following:
v The attributes for the terminal must be set to match the defaults of the
diagnostics.
v If you need to change any settings, record the normal settings, and be sure the
terminal attributes are set to work with the diagnostics. If needed, see ″Running
the Diagnostics from a TTY Terminal″ in the Enterprise Server S80, p Series 680
Model S85 User’s Guide, order number SA38-0557.
v Proceed to substep 5 when you finish checking the attributes.
5. Turn the power on.
