Every time you turn on your system, it runs a series of self-tests on the CPU and
memory.
• Your console terminal first displays a line of information identifying the
CPU, the version of the firmware, and the version of VMB, the primary
bootstrap program. In the sample screens provided in this chapter, the CPU
is identified as a
KA6nn-A
, and the versions of the firmware and primary
bootstrap are indicated as
n.n
. Your system will display actual version
numbers.
• The console terminal then displays a countdown as the system tests itself.
When the tests are successful, the system autoboots system software or goes
into console mode, as described in Section 2.4.1 and Section 2.4.2.
