Console Off-Line Diagnostics

the k eyboard tests which are suited to the individual console.

To run the off-line diagnostics:
1. For a Command Console, insert the appropriate Off-Line
Diagnostics tape in the console tape drive, turn the console power
off for 30 seconds and then back on. Hold down the “Hardware
Alarm” button during the power-up diagnostics until the console
indicates it is “Booting From Streaming Tape”. This boots the
console and brings up the Off-Line Diagnostic Menu.
For a MiniConsole or Basic Command Console, insert the
appropriate Off-Line Diagnostics disk in either disk drive, turn off
the c onsole power for 30 seconds and then back on. This boots
the c onsole and brings up the Off-Line Diagnostic Menu.
2. Check the Power-Up Diagnostic screen for any faults.
3. Run desired tests.
