System Initialization and Acceptance Testing (Normal Operation)
4.4 Basic Acceptance Test Procedure
6. If the above steps have completed successfully and you have time to test
the Q–bus options, load MDM (minimum release of MDM 136 is required
for VAX 4000 Model 500 systems). Run the system tests from the Main
Menu. If they run successfully, the system has gone through its basic
checkout and the operating system software can be loaded.
7. Bring up the operating system.
8. Bringing up the OpenVMS operating system completes the installation
procedures. Run the OpenVMS User Environment Test Package (UETP) to
test that the OpenVMS operating system is correctly installed. Refer to the
VAX 3520, 3540 OpenVMS Installation and Operations (ZKS166)
manual
for instructions on running UETP.
4.5 Machine State on Power-Up
This section describes the state of the kernel after a power-up halt.
The descriptions in this section assume the system has just powered up
and the power-up diagnostics have successfully completed. The state of the
machine is not defined if individual diagnostics are run or for any other halts
other than a power-up halt (SAVPSL<13:8>(RESTART_CODE) = 3). Refer
to Appendix E for a description of the normal state of CPU configurable bits
following completion of power-up tests.
4.6 Main Memory Layout and State
Main memory is tested and initialized by the firmware on power-up.
Figure 4–2 is a diagram of how main memory is partitioned after diagnostics.
