Reading the Startup Test Results
The Windows NT startup test display indicates successful tests with the word passed. It
indicates tests that fail with the word failed and an error code.
The DEC OSF/1 or OpenVMS startup test display indicates successful tests with the word
OK. It indicates tests that fail with double question marks (??) and an error code.
If the System Passes Startup Tests
If the system passes the startup tests, it either boots the selected operating system or halts
in console mode, depending on the system default settings.
If the System Fails Startup Tests
If the system fails the startup tests, perform these steps.
1.
Turn the system unit off, wait approximately 15 seconds, then turn it on again.
2.
If the system continues to fail the startup tests, refer to the
Troubleshooting section of this guide.
__________________________ Note _____________________________
When the startup tests fail, the system ignores the
os_type
setting and enters
the DEC OSF/1 or OpenVMS console automatically. If the
os_type
setting
is set to NT when the system fails, it returns to the Windows NT firmware
when you correct the error.
