VAXstation 3100 Diagnostic LED Definitions

 

There are eight LED’s divided into two felds of four on the back of the system box. These LED’s provide feedback during each phase of power-up initialization and testing. The first four indicate the state of the system while the second four indicate substate and are dependent on the indication given from the state LED’s.

State Substate Definition
1111 1111 Power is applies but no instruction is executed.
1111 0000 Power is applied. The ROM code is successfully started and several instructions have been executed.
1110 0000 Console memory sizing routine is entered. Memory to hold the console data structures is located. The substate variables have no meaning in this section of the test.
1101 0000 The console data structures are initialized and have started testing the NVR.
1100 0000 The NVR test completed and the DZ test has started.
1011 0000 The DZ test completes. An optional video has been found but its testing has not been started. This is part of the console determination code.
1011 0001 The DZ test completes. No optional video is installed or, if it is installed, fails self-test. In either case, the base monochrome video test has been entered.
1010 0000 The video subsystem was tested and the console initialization sequence was entered.
1001 XXXX The system initializes and power-up testing starts. The substate variable indicates the subsystem test being excuted. See subsystem table below.
1000 XXXX The self-test completes with the substate indicating the failing subsystem. See subsystem table below. Enter TEST 50 to see results.
0111 XXXX Self-test was entered from the console TEST command. The substate indicats the subsystem test currently being executed. See subsystem table below. Enter TEST 50 to see results.
0110 XXXX The self-test completes from the TEST command with the substate indicating the failing subsystem. See subsystem table below. Enter TEST 50 to see results.
0101 XXXX The self-test started under control of the APT system. The substate indicats the subsystem test currently being executed. See subsystem table below. Enter TEST 50 to see results.
0100 XXXX The system exerciser started from a console TEST command. The substate indicats the value of the lower four bits of the command. If the system exerciser starts with a T 101, the substate contains a 0x0001. Read the test results on the screen.
0011 0000 The system exerciser started under control of the APT test delivery system. Read the test results on the screen.
0010 XXXX The entity-based module received a request from a host to enter monitor mode. This lets the host send commands to the system. This is indicated if the functionality of the EBM is implemented at a later release of the system ROM. Reserved for future use.
0001 XXXX Console mode was successfully entered and is ready to accept commands. This does not apply to power on. The substate indicates the failing subsystem if there is one. This differs from a self-test complete, because the console can be entered by means other than TEST command or power-on halt (for example HALT button).
0000 XXXX Attempting to boot the system. Once control passes to VMB, the state LED’s have no meaning.
