The first phase of verification involves checking the power-up test display.
When you power up the system, various tests run, showing the state of
each module in the XMI card cage. (Entering the INITIALIZE command at
the console prompt also generates power-up testing.) Example 6–1 shows
a power-up test display for an upgrade from a VAX 6000 Model 610 to a
Model 620. Another processor has been added. Example 6–2 shows an
upgrade using the H9657-CX kit.
NOTE: If you are replacing a single processor, or the boot processor of a
multiprocessor system, and no display appears on power-up, the console
baud rate and your terminal baud rate may not be set the same. Press the
BREAK
key, which steps the terminal baud rate in the available increments,
until you get the console prompt (>>>). Change the console terminal speed at
the keyboard or by using the SET TERMINAL/SPEED:n console command.
Then type INIT to start self-test.

Examine the power-up test display. Note that for the H9657-CX
upgrade, the TYP line shows XMI slots 1 and 2 as empty (see
1
of
Example 6–2. The T2019 module actually occupies slot 2, and its
components (heat sinks) protrude into slot 1.
2
Check the STF line to see that all Model 600 processors and other
modules passed their on-board self-test.
3
Check the ETF line to see that all CPUs passed the extended
testing. For Model 600 systems, extended testing includes CPU/
memory interaction and multiprocessor tests.
4
Check the XBI lines for self-test results for VAXBI modules.
5
The system serial number error message appears, indicating that the
processors do not have the system serial number in their EEPROMs. (
This is done in the next step, described in Section 6.4.
If a KA66A processor module fails power-up testing, as shown by a minus
(–) rather than a plus in the STF or ETF rows, the most likely problem is
that the module is improperly seated in the XMI slot. Power the system
down, reseat the failed module, and power the system up again.
If the KA66A module still fails power-up testing, it should probably be
replaced. You can further isolate the problem by looking at the KA66A
LEDs. See Appendix B for a discussion of the KA66A LEDs.
