Initialization Problem 1
The Gateway-ST software cannot be loaded.
Solutions:
1.
Check the display on the DEC MicroServer. If this shows
E
, run the
following tests to check that the DEC MicroServer is correctly connected to
the Ethernet:
•
Make sure all connections between the DEC MicroServer and the
Ethernet are secure. In particular, check the connection on the DEC
MicroServer. Correct any loose connections and try again to load the
system.
•
Check for a damaged cable between the DEC MicroServer and the
Ethernet transceiver. Replace the cable, if necessary, and try to boot
the system again.
2.
Run the following test to ensure that the DEC MicroServer is working
properly:
•
Make sure that the power indicator is lit and the fans are turning. If
the indicator is not lit or the fans do not turn, see Hardware Problem
1.
•
Turn off the DEC MicroServer, disconnect the Ethernet cable, and
attach the Ethernet loopback connector (Type H4080).
CAUTION
If you power down the DEC MicroServer, wait at least 3 seconds before
powering it up again.
Power up the DEC MicroServer. If the display still shows an
E
,
the Ethernet port is faulty. Contact Digital Customer Service.
3.
Reconnect the Ethernet cable. Check the Ethernet by running loopback
tests on the remote nodes:
•
Log in to a load host.
•
Enter the following command:
NCP> LOOP NODE
node-name
where node-name is the name of a remote node on the same Ethernet
as the DEC MicroServer (see Figure 1-3).
