Does anyone here know what the startup of a Compaq XP1000 (Alpha-based
system for OpenVMS) is supposed to look like?
yup.
powers on, and all 8 diagnostic LED's light up.
There are no beeps, and
there is no video. I've tried to connect a VT420 to the serial ports
If the diagnostic LEDs don't cycle through a powerup sequence then it's
more than likely the mainboard's dead. If the memory's bad you get a 1-3-3
beep sequence, if the CPU's bad you'll get a diagnostic display on the
LEDs. If you google for the Miyata userguides (possibly on vt100.net/manx)
you'll get a downloadable set that'll give you LED codes etc; I'm 3000
miles away from my laptop so I can't send it over :)
