Preface
Intended Audience
This manual is for anyone who manages, operates, or services an AlphaStation
XP900 system.
Document Structure
This manual uses a structured documentation design. Topics are organized into
small sections for efficient reference. Each topic begins with an abstract. You
can quickly gain a comprehensive overview by reading only the abstracts. Next
is an illustration, table, or example, also providing quick reference. Last in the
structure are descriptive text and syntax definitions.
This manual has four chapters, one appendix, and an index:
•
Chapter 1, Operations, provides basic operating instructions, including
powering up the system, booting, and operating system installation.
•
Chapter 2, SRM Console, presents the command-line interface that
supports the Tru64 UNIX and OpenVMS operating systems. (NT uses the
SRM test command, only.) The SRM console is used to bootstrap the
operating system, configure and test the system hardware, examine system
options for errors, and set or change environment variables.
•
Chapter 3, AlphaBIOS Console, details the graphical interface that
supports the Microsoft Windows NT operating system and some utility
programs. This chapter explains how to perform common system
management tasks with AlphaBIOS.
•
Chapter 4, Remote Management Console, describes how to manage the
system from a remote location.
•
Appendix A, Setting System Jumpers, describes how to check and reset
if necessary the Halt/Reset select jumper and remote management console
jumper.
