Hi everyone. I'm hoping that one of the VAX experts out there can help me
figure out how to get my 3100 booting. I managed to cobble together the
necessary cabling and was able to run a "TEST 50" from the serial console.
Unfortunately my Google-fu isn't sufficient to help me figure out what the
results mean. Here is what I'm getting below. Any ideas where my problem
lies?
Hi Bryan,
This looks pretty good. There are no double question marks which would
indicate possibly more serious failures.
? CLK suggests the time of year clock is not set because the battery is bad.
(I suggest removing the battery before it leaks.)
? DZ usually means that one of the serial ports could not be tested (the one
you have the console terminal connected to).
The other results are all good.
What happens when you give it a BOOT command?
Regards,
Peter Coghlan.
