If the System
Fails
If the system fails the power-up tests, Digital recommends that
you return to the OpenVMS and OSF/1 console (enter N at
the prompt, if necessary), turn off the system and try again. If
the power-up tests continue to fail, see the Customer Technical
Information manual for information on troubleshooting the
system, running diagnostics, and contacting your Digital service
representative.
