5.2 Types of Tests
•
pe_diag
This test suite checks the PE array PCBs and the backplane. The tests in the
suite are listed in Section 5.2.1.2.
•
pe_func
Tests various PE functions.
•
pe_macro
Tests the instruction set.
•
pe_memdiag
Tests PMem and reports the exact location of any errors found.
•
pe_rtbp
Tests various signal paths passing between PE array, backplane, and router
PCBs. When it detects a failing path, it gives a complete report:
Signal name — as shown on schematic
Source PCB — chip pin number, backplane connector pin number
Destination PCB — chip pin number; backplane connector pin number
Note
The default mode is for a DECmpp 12000 system. If you run this test on
a DECmpp 12000–LC system, enter 1100 after the test name.
•
pe_rtdiag
Tests the transmitting and receiving router functions.
•
pe_rtr
PE router wire test.
•
pe_scan
Tests the serial scan chains on the ACU, PE array, and router PCBs.
•
pe_xnet
Exhaustive test of all three X-Net instructions. If a failure occurs, it identifies
the fault’s PCB, chip, pin number, and backplane pin number.
•
rts
Tests the transmitting, receiving, and intermediate router functions. To run
rts
,
rtscfg
must be in the same directory.
•
rts13
Tests the transmitting and receiving router functions.
•
rts2
Tests the intermediate router functions.
