1.3 Troubleshooting
The DWMVA adapter is supported on VAX 6000 systems by two loadable
diagnostic programs: EVCLA and EVCLC. Both programs are run by
booting the VAX Diagnostic Supervisor (VAX/DS) from the console prompt.
EVCLA can be run right after booting VAX/DS. EVCLC requires a Radstone
test module to be installed in the VME cabinet before the test program can
be executed. The test module is obtainable from Digital (see Chapter 4).

Overview 1–7

Chapter 2

Installation Procedures
Installation of the DWMVA adapter requires the completion of three tasks:
1. Installing the T2018 module
2. Installing the C3200 module
3. Connecting the cable assemblies
The XMI card cage in the VAX system houses the T2018 module. The
C3200 module is installed in an external cabinet, which can be supplied
either by Digital (BA62 enclosure) or by the customer. The discussions in
this chapter assume that a BA62 enclosure or compatible VME cabinet is
already installed.

Installation Procedures 2–1

2.1 Preparing for Installation
Observe the following BEFORE you start any installation procedure:
WARNINGS:
•

Wear an antistatic (ESD) wrist strap that is connected to the processor
cabinet whenever you work inside the cabinet. This measure grounds
you and thus prevents you from damaging the electronic components by
discharging static electricity.

•

Place any circuit board removed during the installation procedures in
a conductive container to prevent harm to the electronic components of
the board.

Perform the following tasks:
1. Verify that the VAX processor ROMs support the DWMVA adapter.
The appropriate versions of the ROMs are given in Table 1–2. If the
ROMs need to be updated, contact your local Field Change Order (FCO)
coordinator for upgrade instructions.
2. Determine the slot in the XMI card cage where the T2018 is to be
installed. Figure 2–1 shows the location of the XMI card cage in a
VAX 6000 system. In a VAX 7000/10000 system, the XMI card cage is
in the bottom of one of the CPU cabinets.

NOTE: In a VAX 6000 Model 200/300/400 system, the T2018 module
can be installed in slots 1 through 4 and B through E. In other VAX 6000
systems, the T2018 module can be installed in slots 1 through 5 and A
through E. It is recommended that you install the module in the highest
available slot in VAX 6000 systems. In VAX 7000/10000 systems, any
available XMI slot may be used.
Figure 2–2 shows the slots in the XMI card cage. Slot 4 is used for
illustrations of the installation procedures.
3. Install the BA62 enclosure (or other VME cabinet) and place it within
1.82 m (6 ft) of the host system. Installation instructions are included
in the shipment of the BA62 enclosure.
You can now proceed with the installation of the DWMVA adapter.

Chapter 3

Verification
After you have completed the installation of the DWMVA adapter (T2018,
C3200, and cabling), you are ready to verify its operation. Verification
consists of two procedures: self-test, which is executed automatically by
the VAX processor on power-up, and a series of diagnostic tests performed
by the EVCLA program. EVCLA is only supported on VAX 6000 systems.

3.1 Power-Up Self-Test
On power-up, the boot (primary) processor executes a minimum set of ROMbased tests on the DWMVA modules as part of the VAX system self-test.
Proceed as follows:
1. Power up the BA62 enclosure (VME subsystem) by pressing the main
power switch in the upper-right corner of the front panel.
2. Power up the host computer system.
a. Push the main circuit breaker T-handle.
b. Turn the upper switch of the control panel to the Enable position.
c.

Turn the lower switch of the control panel to the Halt position.

The system executes a self-test and outputs the console prompt at the
terminal. The yellow LED on the T2018 lights, indicating that the
module passed self-test. If the red LED lights, an error was detected in
the DWMVA. Refer to the DWMVA VME Adapter Technical Manual for
information on errors.

3.2 Running EVCLA Tests
NOTE: EVCLA is only used with VAX 6000 systems. For verification on
VAX 7000/10000 systems, refer to Technical Tips.
At the console prompt, you can boot the VAX Diagnostic Supervisor
(VAX/DS) from the TK drive, or other media, to run standalone verification
diagnostics.
Proceed as follows:
Enter B VDS to boot VAX/DS. The system displays the prompt DS>.
NOTE: If B VDS is not defined, refer to console commands and system
configurations for boot details.
Enter ATTACH DWMVA HUB DWMVA0 n, where n is the slot
number in hexadecimal notation. This command establishes connection
between the C3200 adapter and slot n of the XMI where the T2018
resides. The zero at the end of DWMVA indicates the device number
of the DWMVA. The second device would be called DWMVA1. Each
DWMVA device is tested separately if two DWMVA adapters are
installed.

Enter SELECT DWMVA0 to select the DWMVA adapter for testing.

Enter LOAD EVCLA to load EVCLA into memory.

Enter SET TRACE,HALT to print out the test sequence and to halt on
error.

Enter START to start the DWMVA level 3 diagnostic program. The first
18 tests of the EVCLA are run on the T2018. The remaining tests are
run on both modules, T2018 and C3200.

When the diagnostic prompt returns, type EXIT to exit VAX/DS.
NOTE: The supervisor runs 36 tests. Test 37 (VME DC power test)
must be selected manually. To run test 37, enter ST/SE:MANUAL
(instead of EXIT) when the DS> prompt returns and follow the program
instructions.
If EVCLA reports no errors, the user verification procedure is complete and
acceptance criteria have been met.
Example 3–1 shows a typical run of the EVCLA tests.

Advanced Troubleshooting
This chapter describes how to run the EVCLC diagnostic program. The
procedure requires use of a Radstone PME 68-25 processor board that has
been customized for EVCLC (Digital part number FC-10169-AC).
NOTE: EVCLC is only used with VAX 6000 systems. For advanced
troubleshooting on VAX 7000/10000 systems, refer to Technical Tips.

Advanced Troubleshooting 4–1

4.1 Installing the Diagnostic Board
To install the Radstone 68-25 board in the BA62 enclosure (or other VME
cabinet), proceed as follows:
1. Power down the BA62 enclosure or compatible expansion cabinet.
NOTE: The red LED on the T2018 module lights when the BA62
enclosure is powered down. Running the diagnostic EVCLC initializes
the module.
2. Make sure you are wearing a properly grounded antistatic wrist strap.
3. Remove the rear panel of the enclosure by grasping the panel at bottom
edge and pulling the panel straight back.
4. Loosen the three captive screws securing the bulkhead door assembly
to the rear of the enclosure. Then swing the bulkhead door assembly
to the left (see Figure 2–4).
5. Locate the slot of the 6U card cage where the Radstone board is to be
installed and make sure that the IACK and BG0–BG3 jumpers on the
slot are pulled out. The Radstone 68-25 diagnostic board is set to VME
address 0000 0000.
CAUTION: Only the C3200 module and the Radstone 68-25 board
should be connected to the VME backplane when running the EVCLC
tests. All other VME options should be removed and IACK and BG0–
BG3 jumpers should be installed in their respective backplane slots. To
remove a module from the 6U card cage, press outward on the ejectors
until the module is released; then pull the module out.
6. Grasp the Radstone module from the top and the bottom of the handle,
align it with the upper and lower card guides of the selected slot, and
insert it into the slot. Carefully slide the module in by pressing on the
upper and lower ejectors of the handle until the connectors are fully
seated.
7. Secure the module in the card cage by tightening the screws on the
module handle.
8. Power up the BA62 enclosure (VME subsystem).
