Running Test Utilities
If an expansion box fails, first check that all cable connections are in
place.
RRD40 Test Disc Utility
The RRD40 compact disc expansion box is shipped with a test disc to be
used when you suspect RRD40 compact disc drive problems. To test your
RRD40:
NOTE
The halt button halts the system.
1. Press the halt button on the rear of your system unit. The console
prompt
(>>>)
appears on your screen.
2. Insert the test disc in the RRD40 drive, following the instructions in
Chapter 2, ‘‘Loading A Compact Disc’’.
3. Enter the TEST 0 command at the console prompt.
4. The test should display the normal response code of 4100.0001.
If the test displays another code, there is a problem with the
RRD40 compact disc drive. Do not use the drive. Call your service
representative for assistance.
Restarting the System After Running Tests
While running any of the tests or procedures in this chapter, your system
is in console mode. If the InfoServer system software is already loaded on
the internal RZ23 hard disk drive (‘‘Starting Your System’’ (Chapter 2),
resuming normal operation is easy. You simply reenter
program mode
in
one of two ways:
• Enter the BOOT command at the console prompt, and press
Return
.
The system then searches the RZ23 drive for the server’s load image.
• Turn the power to the system unit off, then on again. The server is
configured to automatically bootstrap at power-up.
Either method lets the server boot the server system software on the RZ23
drive. If the server software was never copied to the RZ23 drive, then
you must place the InfoServer 100 system software compact disc in the
right compact disc drive behind the server’s front panel. If the bootstrap
program fails to boot from the RZ23 drive, the program automatically
tries to boot from this compact disc drive indefinitely.
