10/10 STD

This document, titled "10/10 STD," is a comprehensive technical guide for the maintenance and troubleshooting of 10-Based 10 and PDP-11 computer systems and their associated peripherals. It outlines standard information and procedures for field service personnel.

The document is structured into several key sections:

• Table of Contents: Lists various diagnostic and utility programs, their classifications, and versions.
• Program Identification Code: Defines naming conventions for program extensions, major program classes (e.g., card reader, disk, magtape subsystems), and processor types (e.g., KA10, KI10, KL10).
• Standard Program Starting Addresses: Provides specific addresses for initiating diagnostic monitors and programs.
• Console Control Switches: Details how to use console data switches in both "Exec Mode" and "User Mode" to control diagnostic program operations, listing each switch's function.
• Utility Programs: Describes various 10-based 10 utility programs for tasks like diagnostic monitoring, disk pack construction, and magtape management.
• Diagnostic Program Hierarchies: Organizes diagnostic programs by system component (e.g., processors, memory, disk, magtape, terminals, etc.), providing titles, operating modes, and brief descriptions for each test.
• Loading Procedures: Offers step-by-step instructions for loading the maintenance library from DECtape, Magtape, and Disk Packs, including specific guidance for KL10 systems via KLDCP.
• User Mode Operation & Error Formats: Explains how to run diagnostics in user mode, manage output, and interpret standard error messages, including fatal halts and general error patterns.
• Detailed Program Descriptions: Provides in-depth information for numerous individual diagnostic and utility programs, covering their purpose, hardware requirements, operational notes, and error reporting.
• PDP-11 Mainframe Troubleshooting Guide: A dedicated section with flowcharts and detailed appendices ("DECAIDs") for PDP-11 systems, covering AC/DC signal locations, Unibus levels, console displays, processor internal options (including jumper configurations), bootstrap loading, mainframe diagnostics, memory module utilization, and comprehensive power supply checks and connector pinouts.

Overall, the "10/10 STD" document serves as a complete reference for diagnosing and repairing faults in the specified computer systems, providing both high-level overviews and granular technical details.
