MEM-BD (Memory)
NOTE:
For memory problems on systems with a TN790 RISC processor circuit
pack, see “PR-MEM.”
Notes:
a. Non-TN790 is on the processor circuit pack and not on a separate
memory circuit pack. The maintenance object is "MEMORY" and not
"MEM-BD." However, all references to MEM-BD in this section are
applicable to "MEMORY" as well.
The Memory contains the DEFINITY software and firmware. The Processor
circuit pack is the most critical component of all system operations.
b. Non-TN790 systems contain memory that is integrated with the processor.
For testing purposes, the circuit pack is logically separated into
PR-MAINT, PROCR, and MEMORY. This means that a memory problem on
386 systems requires that the Processor be replaced. 386 systems
contain two types of memory: Flash ROM and DRAM. Flash ROM is
permanent memory that contains the boot image, PI firmware, and
PACCON firmware. This type of memory is not erased during circuit pack
resets. It can be reprogrammed only via the upgrade software command.
DRAM is used for software data storage, and it changes constantly.
DRAM loses its value during circuit pack resets. Both types of memory are
present on the Processor circuit pack. The diagnostics run appropriate
tests on both memories.
For all system activity, the Processor must be able to access the Memory.
If the Processor cannot do this, the system goes into SPE-down mode. In
SPE-down mode, fatal Memory errors may show up as Processor errors.
This merely indicates that the Processor and the Memory are very closely
linked as a matter of course.
If the initialization diagnostics fail, refer to the "Procedure for SPE-Down
Mode" section in Chapter 4, ‘‘
Initialization and Recovery’’.
Memory faults usually indict the Processor circuit pack (TN790) or the
CPP1 circuit pack, however the problem may be on the TN786B.
