Hardware Overview
The DECserver 510 terminal server connects to IBM 5270 terminals (or equiva-

lent devices) and a 3x74 cluster control unit (CCU). The server also connects to
either a standard or ThinWire Ethernet. The hardware consists of four field-replaceable units (FRUs).

The DECserver 510 hardware supports connections to IBM 3270 Information

used to mean any 3270 termin~! or PC connected to the server.
The hardware also supports connections to an IBM 3x74 (or equivalent) CCU.

All CCU connections on one line card must be to the same CCU; however. each
CXMO04 line card can connect either to different CCUs or the same CCU.

The following is a brief description of each FRU:

System enclosure: The system enclosure contains the card cage for the modules, the backplane, and the power supply.
The power supply is equipped with automatic voltage selection. This feature

allows the power supply to configure itself automatically to the incoming
voltage; therefore, a 120/240 Vac switch is not needed.

CXMOM line cards: The server hardware contains two CXM04 line cards.

Each line card can support up to eight 3270 terminals or up to four 3270 terminals with connections to a CCU.

Ethernet controller module: This module provides the connection to either

a standard or ThinWire Ethernet network.
Central processor unit (CPU) module: The CP"J manages all the functions
of the server and is controlled by the server software and firmware. The CPU

also monitors the diagnostic self-tests.

LKG~3346—-BIA

Overview

Server Connectors
There are two connectors on the CPU module and Ethernet controller module.
Each CXMO04 line card has eight connectors.

The following is a brief description of each connector:
Local console port connector: Conncctor Al is a modular EIA-423-A connector on the CPU module that is used for server management and diagnostic
purposes. Refer to DECserver 500 Problem Selving for instructions on the
uses of this connector.
General-purpose port connector: Connector A2 is a modular EIA-423-A
connector on the CPU module that the firmware uses to output server configuration information to a local console terminal.

Standard Zthernet connector: This single. female D connector with a slide
latch supports connection to a standard Ethernet local area network using a

transceiver cable.
ThinWire Ethernet connector: This single BNC connector supports con-

nection to a ThinWire Ethernet local area network using a ThinWire cable.
CXMO04 connectors: Each CXM04 line card has eight BNC connectors that

support either up to eight 3270 terminals or four 327() terminals with conneciions to a CCU.
Power cord receptacle: The server power cord plugs into this receptacle.

Server Switches
Tha server can have either one or two switches. The CPU module has the boot
mode switch. The Ethemet controlier might have a standard/ThinWire switch, depending on the version of the module.

The boot mode switch on the CPU module is a 16-position switch that selects
which power—on procedure is executed when the server is powered on. The fol-

lowing boot modes are available:
¢

Mode 0 — Normal boot mode. The server boots regardless of any line card
errors. Remote console is enabled.

Mode 1 - Normal boot mode. Tiie server boots only if there are no errors.
Remote console is enabled.

Mode 2 - Local console mode. No boot.

Mode 3 — System configuration assist mode. No boot.

Modes 4 through 6 - Reserved.

Mode 7 - Installation mode. The server boots only if there are no erroys
This boot mode has more extensive testing than boot mode 1.

Modes 8 through F - Reserved.

The standard/ThinWire switch on the Ethernet controller module is a pushbutton
that selects whether the Ethernet controller is configured for standard or ThinWire Ethernet. The in position is for the standard Ethernet configuration, and the
out position is for the ThinWire Ethernet configuration. Early versions of the

Ethernet controller module de not have this switch.

Server Indicators
Each CPU module, power supply, and CXMO4 line card has only one LED apiece.
The Ethernet controller module has three self-test LEDs and two status LEDs.

The following is a brief description of each indicator:

LED display: Displays a hexadecimal number (or alternating numbers) to
indicate the status of the server. If a fault occurs, the number or numbers displayed can be used to help identify the cause of the fault.

DC OK LED: Lights up (green) to indicate that the power supply is functioning properly. The LED is off when the server is not connected to a power
source or the power supply is not functioning.
Module OK LEDs: Light up (green) to indicate that the line card passes the
power—on self—test. If a line card’s module OK LED is off, a problem exists
with that line card.

Ethernet self-test LEDs: Light up at server power—up. The first LED (labeled 1) turns off when the tests begin. The second LED (labeled 2) turns off
after the Ethernet controller module passes the module’s internal locpback

test. The third LED (labeled 3) turns off after the module passes its external
loopback test.

Standard Ethernet LED: Lights up to indicate that the Ethernet controller
module is configured to accept a standard Ethemet connection.

ThinWire Ethernet LED: Lights up to indicate that the Ethernet controller
module is configured to accept a ThinWire Ethernet connection.

Server Physical Specifications
The tabletop and rack—mount versions of the server have different dimensions.

Both versions, however, require additional space for cables, air, and service acCess.

When determining where to place the server, you must take into consideration the

server's dimensions, weight, and clearance space required.
When the server is installed on a tabletop, be sure to leave 7.7 cm (3 in) on either

side of the server for air circulation. When you install the server in a rack, be
sure to leave 9 cm (3.5 in) of space between the server and the next device below
in the rack.

Leave a space of 15.4 = (6 in) in front of the module end of the server for
cables. Also, leave an area of 123 cm (48 in) in front of the module end for easy
service access.

Cabling Requirements for CXM04 Line Cards and Power Cord
The maximum cabling distance depends upon whether the CXMO04 line card is
configured for 3270 terminals and a CCU, and the type of cable used.

The CXMUM line card has two configurations: 3270 terminals only and 3270 terminals with connections to a CCU. Furthermore. there are three types of cables
that can be used to connect the devices to the line card: coaxial, shielded twistedpair, and unshielded twisted—pair.
If you are using coaxial cable (RG62A/U or equivalent), you can have a maximum of 1500 meters (4920 feet). If the line card is configured for a CCU and

3270 terminals, then you can not use more than a total length of 1500 meters
from the CCU to the line ca;d and from the line card to the terminal.
NOTE
The S0-ohm ThinWire Ethernet cable can not be

used interchangeably with the RG62A/U cable.
The RG62A/U cable can be used with the CXM04
line cards.

If you are using shielded or unshielded twisted—pair, use the distances supplied in
the table as a guideline. The maximum distance depends on the type of cables
and baluns used.

NOTE

A balun adapts the BNC connector of a coaxial
cable to a twisted—pair cable that has an RJ 1! connector.

If vou use a combination of unshielded and shielded twisted—-pair or coaxial and
either twisted—pair cables, then use the following formula:

Server to Standard Ethernet Connection Requirements
The Ethernet cable drop from an appropriate Ethernet device must be installed

and tested bofore you can install the DECserver 510 hardware tc a standard
Ethernet network.

The server hardware connects to a broadband or baseband standard Ethernet LAN
through appropriate Ethernet devices. such as the following:
e

A DELNI network concentrator

A transceiver (for example, an H4005 for a baseband Ethernet network)

The cable from the Ethernet device and the device itself must be installed and

tested before you install the server. If you are using BNE3x-xx cable, make sure
that the cable does not exceed 50 meters (164 feet). If you are using BNE4x—xx
cable, make sure that the cable does not exceed 12.5 meters (41 feet).
The following exhibit shows an example of serv_rs connecting to a standard

Ethemnet through a DELNI network concenuator, directly to a transceiver, and to

the transceiver through an Etherjack.

Server tu ThinWire Ethernet Connection Requirements
Verify that an appropriate connection is avaiiable for the server to connect to a
ThinWire Ethernet network. Do not follow this procedure if you intend to install the

sarer to a standard Ethermnet.

The server can connect to a ThinWire Ethernet directly or through a variety of
devices, including the ThinWire Ethernet Multiport Repeater (DEMPR).

The cable from the ThinWire Ethernet device and the device itself must be installed and tested before you install the setver. Also, verify that the ThinWire
cable does not exceed a maximum of 185 meters (606.8 feet) or is less than a
minimum of (.5 meter (1.64 feet) between the server connection and the next device on the ThinWire network.

Verify that the ThinWire cable easily reaches the server without violating the
4—centimeter (1.6~inch) minimum bend radius.

The following exhibit shows an example of two servers in a ThinWire natwork
connecting to a DEMPR device, which in turmn connects to a standard Ethernet

through a transceiver.

NOTE

The ThinWire cable is not the same cable as the
coaxial cable used to connect 3270 terminals and a

CCU to the CXMiM4 card. These cables can not be
used interchangeably.

Complete the Server ID Card
The DECserver 510 Identification Cardis used to pass on hardware information to
the software installer.

You need to fill in the top part of the card. The serial number is located above the

power cord receptacle. The Ethernet address is on a label on the Ethernet controller.
At this point, you need to determine the configuration of both CXM04 line cards.

Each line card is factory set to connect to a CCU and 3270 terminals (4 ports),
however, the cards can be reconfigured to accept 3270 terminals only (8 ports).
If the CXM04 line card in slot LC1 is to be connected to 3270 terminals and a

CCU, check CCU (4 ports). If the CXMO04 line card is to be connected to 3270
terminals only, check 3270 only (8 ports). Repeat this for the CXM04 itne card
in slot LC2.

Afterwards, fill in the location of the server (for example, building number, floor,
section, and so on) and your name and date.

When you are done, give this card to the system or network manager, who needs
to complete the card. The person installing the software needs all this informa-

tion to configure the server on a load host.

Configure the Ethernet Controller for ThinWire or Standard Ethernet
The Ethernet controller has either a pushbutton or a jumper block that must be set
to the type of Ethernet that you have.

There are two versions of the Ethernet controller module. Once has a pushbutton
on the faceplate to configure the module for ThinWire or standard Ethernet, as
shown in the following exhibit. The other version does not have the pushbutton;

instead, the module has a jumper block. You must remove the module from the
server 10 access the jumper block.
Perform the following to configure the module:
1.

Determine whether the server will be connected to a ThinWire or standard

Ethemnet LAN.

if the module has a pushbutton, make sure that the button is in the out position for ThinWure configuration or in the in position for standard configuration.
If you are connecting to a ThinWire Ethernet and the module does not have a

pushbutton, do not do anything. The jumper block is factory set for ThinWire
configuration,

If you are connecting to a standard Ethermet and the module does not have a

pushbutton, you must perform the procedure, “Configure the Jumper Block

Familiarize Yourself with the 3270 Terminal and CCU Cable Configuration
When the CXM04 line card is configured for a CCU and terminals, the line card is
configured so that each 3270 terminal can communicate to only one CCU line.
Also, certain connectors are configured for the CCU only.

Each CCU connection to a 3270 terminal can have different features as defined
by the software. If you plan to install the DECserver 510 hardware to an existing

CCU and 3270 terminal setup, be careful that each 3270 terminal is connected to
the same CCU connection through the CXMO04 line card. This way, all users will
retain their unique configurations,

The CXM04 line card connectors are arranged in pairs. Each pair is for a CCU
connection and its associated 3270 terminal. The CCU connection is always to
the right of its associated 3270 terminal connection, as shown in the following
exhibit. The 3270 terminal connected to the card can communicate only with the
CCU line that is attached at the connector to the immediate right of the terminal
connector.

When connecting the CXM(M4 line card in slot LC1 to a CCJ. all connections
must be to the same CCU.

When connecting the CXMO04 hie card in slot LC2 to

a CCU, all connections must be to the same CCU.
either the same CCU or t

Both line cards can connect to

different CCUs.

CAUTION
The equipment will not operate properly if you
connect one

CXMO4 line card to more than one

Determine the CXMO04 Port Numbers
The CXMO04 line card is configured either for 4 ports or for 8 ports.

The following exhibits show the port numbers of the

CXM04 line card when the

line card is configured for 4 ports (CCU and 3270 terminals) and for 8 ports
(3270 terminals only).

When the CXMO4 line card is configured for 4 ports, two connectors share the

same port number. This way, the CCU connection has the same port number as
its associated 3270 terminal connection.
When the

CXMO4 line card is configured for 8 ports, the ports are not arranged n

an ascending numerical order. The even numbered connectors on the CXM04
line card in slot LC1 (starting from the right) are ports | through 4, while the
odd-numbered connectors are ports S through 8. The ports are necessarily arranged this way for the hardware 1o be able to support the CCU and 3270 termi-

nal configuration.

It is important to know how the ports are arranged on the line cards. so that you
can have a one-to—one correspondence between the hardware and the software.

Simultaneously press ALT and TEST (or equivalent keys) on the left side of

the keyboard.

Type a random series of keys on the main keypad.
Verify that the terminal display shows the keys that you typed. If not, recheck the cable connections.

If the problem pers’sts, refer to the DECserver S10) Hardware Problem Solving.

Repeat the previous steps for each 3270 terminal and CCU connection.

Perform the following to label the cables connected to the CXMO(4 line cards:
Locate the two sheets of labels that were shipped with the server hardware.
Make two labels for each cable.

If a numbering scheme is used, write down on each label the terminal or CCU
number, the server number, and the port number.

Set the Boot Mode Switch to 7 and Connect Power
Stert the server self-test by setting the bcot mode switch to 7 and plugging the
power cord into the appropriate power outlet.

If the boot mode switch is not set to 7, then set the switch to 7 using a small

screwdriver.

Plug one end of the power cord into the server power receptacle, and the other end into the appropriate power outlet. The power supply automatically
switches to 120 or 240 Vac depending on the incoming voltage.

If you are connected to a standard Ethernet, make sure that the standard
Ethernet LED (labelled J4) on the Ethernet controller is on. If you are connected to a ThinWire Ethernet, make sure that the ThinWire Ethemet LED

(labelled J1) is on. If the appropriate LED is not on, unplug the power cord
immediately. Go back to Chapter 3 to configure the Ethernet controller correctly.
CAUTION

Equipment failure will result if the Ethernet con-

troller is not configured properly.
Verify that the server LEDs light up as indicated in the following exhibit.
If the software is not loaded on a load host, verify that the LED display alternates between B and 2.

If the software is loaded on a load host, verify that the LEL display altenates

between B and 4. When the server finishes loading the software, the LED
alternates between 0 and 8. This indicates that the server is up and running.

Set Up a Terminal and Finish the Installation
Set up either a console terminal or a 3270 terminal. Then have the server software installer verify the server system installation in accordance with the procedure in the DECserver 500 Software Installation manuat.

The software installer needs one terminal available to verify system installation. The terminal can be either a console terminal or a 3270 terminal, described as follows:
a.

If you have an asynchronous (ELIA-232-D or ELIA-423-A compatible)
terminal, connect the cable to the Al connector (local console port) on

the CPU module. The following exhibit shows how to connect the con-

sole to the server. Then sei the terminal communication parameters to the
following:

Character size: 8

How to Reseat a Module
A correctly seated module is flush with the other modules. Any module which is
not flush with the other modules must be reseated. When you reseat a module,
make sure that the power is off.

All module faceplates should be flush with one another. If a moduie is not flush
with the others, you must perform the following to reseat the module:

Make sure that the two 1/4-turn fasteners are in the unlocked position by
turning them counterciockwise.

Slide the module into the slot until it engages the backplane. The module
handle should now be 1/4 inch from being flush with the adjacent module
handle.

Simultaneously pull the two release lever' towards each other. The module
handle should row be flush with the a2d,.cent module.

Press in and turn the two fasteners clock »ise to secure the line card.

Hardware Overview
The DECserver 510 terminal server connects to IBM 3270 terminals (or equivalent devices) and a 3x74 cluster control unit (CCU). The server also connects to
gither a standard or ThinWire Ethernet. The hardware consists of four different
field—replaceable units (FRUS).

The DECserver 510 hardware supports connections to IBM 3270 Information

Display System terminals that operate in Control Unit Terminal (CUT) mode.
The hardware also supports various IBM personal computers (PCs) that emulate
the 3270 terminal in CUT mode. The 3270 Terminal Option Software Product
Description lists the supported devices. Hereafter, the term “3270 terminalTM is
used to mean any 3270 icrminal or PC connected to the server.
The hardware also supports connections to an IBM 3x74 (or equivalent) CCU.
All CCU connections on one line card must be to the same CCU; however, each
CXMO04 line card can connect to a different CCU.

The following is a brief description of each FRU:
Central processor unit {CPU) module: The CPU manages all the functions

of the server and is controlled by the server software and firmware. The CPU
aiso moniiors the diagnostic self—tests.
Ethzrnet controiler module: This module provides the connection to eithes

a standard or ThinWire Ethernet network.

CXMO04 line cards: The server hardware contains two CXM04 line cards.
Ea.a line card can support up to eight 3270 terminals or up to four 3270 terminals with connections to a CCU.

System enclosure: The system enclosure contains the card cage for the modules, the backplane, and the power supply.
The power supply is equipped with automatic voltage selection. This feature

allows the power supply to configure itself automatically to the incoming
voltage; therefore, 2 120/240 switch is not needed.

The Boot Mode Switch As a Troubleshooting Tool
The boot mode switch can be used to run various server diagnostic tests.

The boot mode switch is a 16—position switch located on the CPU module thai
selects which power—on procedure is executed when the server is powered on.
There are six different boot modes available: modes O through 3,7, and F. The

other boot mode switch positions (4 through 6, and 8 through E) are reserved.
The following pages describe each boot mode in detail.

Description of Boot Modes 0, 1, and 2
Boot modes 0 and 1 are normal boot modes. Boot mode 2 is the local console
mode.

Mode 0: This is a normal boot inode. The server boots regardless of any line
card errors. The Remote Console Facility (RCF) is enabled. This mode allows
the server to operate with hardware faults that affect port devices only. This gives

the server manager the option of putting the server into service even though some
lines might not be usable. This mode executes the following tests before requesting a down-line load of the server software:
e

System kernel test

Ethernet citizenship test

Board-level line card test

Configuration Verification Program

System Exerciser in internal loopback mode

Mode 1: This is the same as boot made 0; however, the server boots only if there
are no errors. The Remote Console Facility is enabled. When any hardware error
is detected, the test is halted and an error code is shown in the LED display.
Mode 2: This is the local console mode with no boot. It requires a local console
terminal. This mode first executes the following tests:
e

System kernel test

Ethernet citizenship test

Board-level line card test

Configuration Verif cation Program

This mode then places the server under control of "he local console terminal, so
that you can run more extensive diagnostic tests u.ing the Console Commands
interface commands. Refer to DECserver SO0 Problem Solving for a list and description of these commands.

Description of Boot Mode 3
Boot mode 3 is the System Configuration Assistance Program.

This mode requires a local console terminal and does net boot the server. This
mode sends a map of the server hardware 1o the local console terminal. The map
shows the address, vector address, device name, and status of each module iui the
server, as shown in Exhibit 1-5. The only difference between the map you see on
the local console terminal and the map in Exhibit 1-5 should be the Ethernet address.

This mode executes the following tests:
e

System kemel test

[Ethemet citizenship test

Board-level line card test

Configuration Verification Program

System Configuration Assistance Program

You can select each module slot using the boot mode switch to generate information that corresponds to the selected slot number. For instance, you cai: set the

boot mode switch to 3" to select the CXM04 line in slot 3 (labeled LC1). The
console terminal would then print out the following information:
o

Selected module slot number (3)

Device address (17760440-17760456)

Vector address (310)

Module type (CXM04)

This test will also cause the Module OK LEDs to blink.

This mode is best used to verify the address switch settings, especially after replacing a module.

Server indicators As Troubleshooting Toois
Each CPU module, power supply, and CXMO04 line card has only one LED apiece.
The Ethernet controller module, however, has three self-test LEDs and two status LEDs.

The following is a brief description of each indicator:

pages describe the diagnostic and status codes shown by the LED display.
DC OK LED: Lights up (green) to indicate that the power supply is func-

tioning properly. The LED is off when the server is not connected to a power
source or the power supply is not functioning.

Module OK LEDs: Light up (green) to indicate that the line card passes the
power—on self—test. If a line card's Module OK LED is off, a problem exists

with that line card.
Ethernet self-test LEDs: Light up at server power—up. The first LED (la-

beled 1) turns off when the tests begin. The second LED (labeled 2) turns off
after the Ethernet controller module passes the module’s internal loopback
test. The third LED (labeled 3) turns off after the module passes its external
loopback test.

Standard Ethernet LED: Lights up to indicate that the Ethernet controller
module is configured to accept a standard Ethernet connection.
ThinWire Ethernet LED: Lights up to indicate that the Ethernet controller

module is configured to accept a ThinWire Ethernet connection.

The Local Console Terminal As a Troubleshooting Tool
The local console terminal is an asynchronous terminal connected to the local

console port ;n the CPU module. The local console terminal is necessary to run
certain diagnostic tests on the server.

The local console terminal is required in order to nse boot modes 2 and 3. In

boot mode 2, the local console is needed to use the Console Commands Interface.
See DECserver 500 Problem Solving for more information on the Console Commands Interface.
The local console terminal can be any asynchronous EIA-232-D or EIA<423-A
terminal. The terminal connects to the local console port connector located on
the CPU module (connector Al). An ELA-232-D terminal requires an H8571-A
passive adapter to connect to the local console port.

The ethenet Loopback and Barrel Connactors As Troublashooting

oTM

=5 Ra.

The Ethernet loopback connectors are used to test the Ethernet controller. The
barrel connectors are used to remove the CCU and 3270 terminal connections
from the CXNi04 line card.

The server hardware is shipped with a standard Ethemet loopback connector,
ThinWire Ethernet lcopback connector, and four barrel connectors.

The 15-pin standard Ethernet loopback connector is used to troubleshoot the

Ethernet controller when the controller is configured for standard Ethernet and to
troubleshoot the transceiver cable. When you have a problem with the Ethernet
controller, perform the Ethernet diagnostic test (use an appropriate boot mode)
with this loopback connector installed to the Ethemet controller standard inter-

face connector. If the test passes, repeat ihi¢ tcst with the transceiver cabdle installed to the Ethernet controller and the loopback connector installed at the far
end of the transceiver cable.

‘The ThinWire Eihernet ioopback connector is used to check out the Ethernei coii-

troller when the controller is configured for ThinWire Ethernet. The loopback
connector is comprised of a T connector and two terminators. Install the loop-

back connector tc the Ethernet controller ThinWire connector, and perform the
Ethernet diagnostic test (use an appropriate boot mode).

The barrel connectors are used to connect 3270 terminals directly to the CCU,
taking the CXMO04 line card out of the connection. These connectors shoula be

used only when replacing a

CXM04 line card or, as a last resort, when trouble-

shooting a CCU/3270 terminal problem. These connectors are not effective for
CXM0(4 line cards that are configured for 3270 terminals only.

Problems with Multiple Ports on the Same
Line Card

If you have a problem with more ihan ofie port on the same line card, use the
troubleshooting steps listed on the following page.

3-1

Troubleshooting Steps
Before concluding that the line card is faulty, check the cable connections and

patch panel first. Then verify that the line card hardware and 3270 Terminal Option software are configured properly.

If more than one, but not all ports are having problems, check the patch panel, if
present, for errors. Also, check the cable connections on the affected ports.
If all ports on the line card have problems, check the software and hardware configuration. Either the line card is configured for 3270 terminals only (8 ports) or

for 3270 terminals and a CCU (4 ports). The hardware jumper and CCU present
switch setting on the line card must match the software configuration. Chapter S
provides the procedure to remove the module, and Chapter 6 provides the procedure to set the line card switches and jumpers.

3-2

List of Troubleshooting Steps

What to Check

Procedure

Patch panel

Verify that there are no errors at the patch panel,

(if present)

and that all connections are secure.

Terminal cable

Be sure the terminal’s cable is secure at the server
line card port and at the terminal.

CCU cable

If a CCU is connected to the CXMO0M4 line card,
make sure the cable is secure at the CXMO04 line
card port and at the CCU.

terminal or PC is one supported by the 3270
Terminal Option product.

Restrictions: If the terminal or PC is one that is
supported, verify that the terminal 1s a Control Unit

Terminal (CUT) and not a Distributed Function

Terminal (DFT). The server hardware does not
support terminals in DFT mode. Also, 3270

terminals and PCs connected to the CXM04 line
cards cannot be used to perform file transfers.

Card configuration

Verify that the software and the hardware are

configured the same way (either both for 4 ports or

both for 8 ports). If the ports are configured properly,
reload the software image and check to see whether
the problem is corrected.

If none of the above corrects the problem, replace the line card (refer to Chapters
S and 6).

Problems with All Server Ports

If you have a problem with all the server ports, use the procedures in this chapter.

First, use the initial troubleshooting steps listed on the following page. If the
problem persists, use the detailec flow chart.

4-1

Initial Troubleshooting Steps
Check the server power and cable connections. Check the various LED indicators.

These troubleshooting steps assume that there is no port on the server working.
First check that the server power cable is installed correctly and receiving the cor-

rect voltage. Then check the Ethernet cable. If the cables are secure, check the
LED indicators. Proceed to the troubleshooting flow chart if you can not quickly
assess the problem.

DECserver 510 Hardware Problem Solving

Exhibit 4-1:

List of Initial Troubleshooting Steps

What to Check

Proceuure

Server power

Check the DC OX LED. If it is off, be sure that the
server is plugged into an active outlet.
If the outlet is active, check that the voltage appears on
the server end of the power cord. If the power cord is
good, then the server power supply is faulty and you
must replace the server enclosure. Go to Chapter 5 to
remove all the modules from the server enclosure.

Ethernet cable

Verify that tne standard or ThinWire Ethernet cable

is properly installed.
Standard and

If the server is connected to a standard Ethernet,

ThinWire Ethernet

verify that the standard Ethernet LED (to the

LEDs

immediate right of the connector) on the Ethernet
controller is on. If the server is connected to a
ThinWire Ethernet, verify that the ThinWire
Ethernet LED (to the immediate right of the
ceanector) is on.
If the incorrect LED is on, power off the server. If
the controller has the standard/ThinWire Ethernet

pushbutton, push the switch in for a standard
Ethernet connection, or out for a ThinWire Ethernet
connection. If the controller does not have the
pushbutton, go to Chapter 6 to configure the
Ethernet controller. After the controller is
configured correctly, power on the server and see if

the problem is resolved.
LED display

Check the LED display on the CPU module.
Chapter 1 lists the diagnostic and software error

codes on pages 1-16 and 1-18, respectively.

Problems with All Server Ports

Troubleshooting Fiow Chart for Problems on All Server Ports
Use the flow chart to identify the faulty FRU.

The flow chart tells you when to use various troubleshooting tools. Refer to
Chapter 1 if you are not familiar with a particular tool.
If this flow chart does not solve the problem, refer to DECserver 500 Problem

Cable Part Numbers
There are various Ethernet and terminal cables available for the DECserver 510
hardware.

The BC16E cable is available for connecting a console terminal to the server.
The H8571 passive adapters are used to connect an EIA-232-D terminal or printer to the server’s local console port.

There are a variety of Ethernet cables available. The BNE3 cable is for a standard Ethernet and comes in PVC or FEP. PVC cable is for use in air spaces that

are not environmentally controlled. FEP cable is for use on retiurm-air conduits.
This cable is available in lengths of S meters (16.4 feet), 10 meters (32.8 feet), 20

meters (65.6 feet), and 40 meters (131.2 feet).
The BNEA office cable is also a standard Ethernet cable and is available in PVC
version only. This cable is a smaller diameter than the BNE3 cable, which makes
it ideal for use in office environments. However, the cable signal loss is four
times greater than with the BNE3 cable. This cable is available in lengths of 2

meters (6.6 feet) and S meters (16.4 feet).
ThinWire Ethemnet cable is also available in PVC and FEP versions and is used in

ThinWire Ethernet configurations. The ThinWire cable does not come with BNC
connectors. These connectors must be orc. od separately.
