This label tells you that device's power requirements. ------------------------------------------------------------ Caution ------------------------------------------------------------ Connecting your equipment to a power source with the wrong voltage can damage the equipment. ------------------------------------------------------------ Figure 2-1 Voltage Labels The Environment 2-3 3 ------------------------------------------------------------ Starting and Testing This chapter explains how to: · Turn on your workstation · Set your keyboard language · Operate system self-tests · Check your workstation configuration · Stop your worksystem software · Turn off your workstation Starting and Testing 3-1 3.1 Turning On Your Workstation 3.1 Turning On Your Workstation Before turning on your workstation for the first time, · Make sure that the system unit power cord is plugged into a wall outlet or power strip. · Make sure that the monitor and any external devices are plugged into a power source. · If any components of your workstation are plugged into a power strip, make sure that the power strip is plugged into a power outlet. · If you intend to control power to your workstation by turning the power strip on and off, make sure that all power switches on the workstation components are set to the on position. If all workstation components are plugged into a power strip, first turn on the power strip, then your workstation. If some of your workstation components are plugged into different outlets, turn on your workstation in the following order: 1. Turn on any external devices. Most devices have rocker switches. Some have push switches. 2. If necessary, turn on the monitor. · If the monitor gets its power through the system unit, and if you have set the monitor power switch to the on position, the monitor will go on when you turn on the system unit. · If the monitor is plugged into a wall outlet, or if the monitor power switch is in the off position, turn it on now. (For instructions, refer to the documentation that came with the monitor or see Section 1.2.1.) When the monitor turns on, a green indicator light glows on the front of the monitor. The monitor must run for 10 to 15 seconds before it is warmed up enough for the display to be visible. 3. Turn on the system unit by pressing the | on the On/Off switch on the back of the system unit. See Figure 3-1. 3-2 Starting and Testing 3.1 Turning On Your Workstation Figure 3-1 Turning on the system unit When you turn on the system unit, the following things happen: · The green power indicator light glows on the front of the system unit. · The system unit runs the automatic power-up self-test, which takes from 1 to 5 minutes. The system displays the names of each subtest that it runs at the bottom of the screen. Some tests display asterisks (*) and other symbols, and some tests cause the screen to flicker. If you have multiple monitors, the monitor connected to the graphics module in the lowest-numbered option slot displays all system test information. At the end of the power-up self-test, messages explaining any errors that occurred during any of the subtests scroll across the screen. (You can redisplay these messages later.) For more information on the power-up self-test, see Section 3.3. Starting and Testing 3-3 3.1 Turning On Your Workstation 4. If you are starting your workstation for the first time, you will be prompted to select a keyboard language (see Section 3.2). 5. The screen displays the console prompt (>>) or the restricted console prompt (R>) when the system is ready to accept user commands. · At the console prompt (>>), you can execute all console commands. · At the restricted console prompt, you can use only the boot and passwd console commands until you enter the correct password, because someone has set up a password requirement to restrict access to the system. · To enter your password, type passwd and press Return. Then enter the console password at the pwd prompt and press Return again. If you do not know the password, contact your system manager or a Digital service representative. If anything other than the console prompt (>>), or restricted prompt (R>) appears, turn to Chapter 11 for troubleshooting instructions. 6.

Starting and Testing 3-5 3.3 Testing Your Workstation 3.3 Testing Your Workstation Your workstation automatically runs a power-up self-test every time you turn on the power to the system unit. Self-tests are programs that check your workstation hardware to ensure that it is functioning properly. Self-tests have numerous subtests that examine specific workstation components. When a subtest discovers a problem, it displays a coded message, called an error message, on the screen. When all the tests are done, the workstation displays the console prompt (>>). 3.3.1 Using the Quick or Full Self-Test You can issue one of the following console commands at the system console prompt (>>) to change the number of self-tests the workstation runs during power-up: · To set up your system to run a quick self-test (the default setting), enter the command setenv testaction q. · To set up your system to run a more thorough set of self-tests, enter the command setenv testaction t. Chapter 10 explains the console commands in more detail. You can run the full set of self-tests, collectively called the system self-test, at any time. However, you must shut down your ULTRIX worksystem software first. 3-6 Starting and Testing 3.3 Testing Your Workstation 3.3.2 To Run the Full Self-Test 1. If your workstation is running the ULTRIX worksystem software, type shutdown -h now at the ULTRIX prompt and press Return to halt the software. 2. At the console prompt (>>), type test and press Return. · As the system performs the subtests that make up the self-test, it briefly displays the name of each subtest on the screen. The tests can take 15 minutes or more to run. At the end of the self-test, messages scroll across the screen explaining any errors that occurred during any of the subtests. Then the console displays the console prompt (>>). · To redisplay the error messages, type erl at the console prompt (>>) and press Return. 3.3.3 If a Self-Test Fails At the end of the system self-test, error messages that have been generated scroll across the screen. Use the error log command (erl) to redisplay these messages and to look for others. If you see any error messages, or if you see a message that begins with ?TFL:, turn to Chapter 11 for an explanation of the message and troubleshooting instructions. 3.4 Checking the Configuration Display The configuration test tells you which option modules are in your system unit. It identifies each module in your system unit by slot number and a special option module code. Use the cnfg command to check the workstation configuration (see Chapter 10). Check to be sure that all the modules ordered for your workstation are listed in the display on your screen. The modules you ordered are listed on the packing list for your shipment. Starting and Testing 3-7 3.5 Stopping the Workstation Without Turning It Off 3.5 Stopping the Workstation Without Turning It Off You can shut down the ULTRIX worksystem software by typing shutdown -h now at the ULTRIX prompt and pressing Return. If you are unable to return to console mode using this shutdown command, you can stop your workstation and all worksystem software by pressing the halt button on the back of the system unit. The workstation and software stop whatever they were doing, and the monitor displays the console prompt (>>).

External options are contained in expansion boxes that are attached by a cable to the system unit. · RZ23L, RZ24L, RZ25, RZ26, RZ58 fixed disk drives · RX23, RX33 diskette drive · TZK10, TZ30, TLZ06, TKZ08, TKZ09, TZ85, TSZ07 tape drives · TK50 cartridge tape drive · RRD42 compact disk drive 5.2 Storage Devices You Can Add to Your Workstation External storage devices for the DECstation 5000 Model 260 workstation are small computer systems interface (SCSI) drives (such as tape, disk, and compact disc drives) that are contained in external boxes you connect to the system unit. A SCSI drive can also be self-contained in its own box or installed in a multiple-drive expansion box such as a BA42 expansion box or a TCE. You can connect the external devices to the built-in SCSI connector on the system unit or to any SCSI connector in a TURBOchannel option slot. You can connect any of the following storage devices, shown in Figure 5-1, to your workstation: · Any drive installed in a BA42 expansion box (for a list of specific drives, see the BA42 Installation Guide) · Any drive installed in a TURBOchannel extender (TCE) unit (for a list of specific drives, see the TURBOchannel Extender Operator 's Guide) · Any self-contained tape, disk, or compact disc drive that conforms to SCSI specifications such as · TK50Z tape drive · RZ58 disc drive · RRD42 optical compact disc drive 5-2 External Storage Devices 5.2 Storage Devices You Can Add to Your Workstation Figure 5-1 Some typical expansion boxes External Storage Devices 5-3 5.3 Rules for Connecting Storage Devices 5.3 Rules for Connecting Storage Devices For the system to work properly, external storage devices must be connected to your workstation according to the following rules: · Up to seven SCSI drives (either self-contained or installed in multiple-drive expansion boxes) can be attached to each SCSI connector. · A self-contained drive is one drive in its own box · A BA42 expansion box can hold one or two drives · A TCE can hold up to three drives · External storage devices that use the same SCSI connector must be linked together by SCSI cables, forming a single chain of devices. Each expansion box or self-contained storage device has two SCSI connectors: · One connects the device or box to the base system or to the previous device or box in the chain. · The other connects the device or box to the next device or box in the chain. · A SCSI terminator must be connected to the unused SCSI connector on the last device or box in a chain. · Each drive in a chain of devices connected to one SCSI connector must have a unique SCSI ID number. (See Section 5.6 for information about determining and setting SCSI ID numbers.) · Up to three expansion boxes can be connected to each SCSI connector. · The SCSI bus cannot exceed 19.8 feet (6 meters). 5-4 External Storage Devices 5.4 Installing External Storage Devices 5.4 Installing External Storage Devices 1. Determine what external storage devices you have: · BA42 expansion box · TCE, if it has internal drives · Self-contained tape, disk, or compact disc drive 2. Check to make sure that the number of SCSI drives and storage expansion boxes to be connected are within the allowable limits. You can connect up to seven SCSI drives, contained in up to three expansion boxes, to the base system SCSI connector. 3. Make sure that each SCSI drive on the same bus has a unique SCSI ID number. If two or more of the drives to be connected to a SCSI connector have the same SCSI ID number, you must change the duplicate SCSI IDs (see Section 5.6). 4. Position the storage expansion boxes next to or on top of the system unit. If one of the boxes is a TCE, place it directly on top of the system unit, because one of its interconnecting cables is very short. You may stack the boxes one on top of the other. 5. Set the power switches on the storage expansion boxes to the off position. (Figure 5-2). Figure 5-2 Power switch in the off position External Storage Devices 5-5 5.4 Installing External Storage Devices 6. If the only device you are connecting is a TURBOchannel extender (TCE), skip the rest of this procedure, mark your place in this guide, and refer to the TURBOchannel Extender Operator 's Guide for instructions on installing the TCE. Otherwise, continue with these instructions. 7. Find the system-unit-to-expansion-box cable, shown in Figure 5-3, that came with your workstation. Figure 5-3 System-unit-to-expansion-box cable 5-6 External Storage Devices 5.4 Installing External Storage Devices 8. Attach the smaller connector on the system-unit-to-expansion-box cable to the SCSI connector on the system unit, as Figure 5-4 shows. Figure 5-4 Connecting the system-unit-to-expansion-box cable to the system unit External Storage Devices 5-7 5.4 Installing External Storage Devices 9. Attach the larger connector on the system-unit-to-expansion-box cable to one of the SCSI connectors on an expansion box. Do not connect this cable to a TCE, if you have one. Skip the TCE and connect the system-unit-to-expansion-box cable to the next box. (The TCE requires a different type of cable and must be connected last.)

Put a SCSI drive terminator on the unused SCSI connector on the last box you connected. If the last device you connected was a TCE, skip this step, because the TCE has its own internal SCSI terminator. Figure 5-10 Connecting a SCSI drive terminator External Storage Devices 5-13 5.4 Installing External Storage Devices 13. For each expansion box, connect one end of the power cord that came with the device to the expansion box and connect the other end to a power outlet. ------------------------------------------------------------ Caution ------------------------------------------------------------ Check the voltage requirements for the device. Connecting a device to a power source that does not meet the voltage requirements of that device can damage the device. ------------------------------------------------------------ Figure 5-11 Connecting the power cord 5-14 External Storage Devices 5.4 Installing External Storage Devices 14. If you have additional SCSI connectors in the TURBOchannel option slots, repeat this procedure to connect any additional storage devices to these SCSI connectors. Try to distribute the drives as evenly as possible among the SCSI connectors on the base system unit and in the TURBOchannel option slots. External Storage Devices 5-15 5.5 SCSI Cable Length 5.5 SCSI Cable Length If the total length of internal and external cable used in a chain of storage devices exceeds 236 inches (599 centimeters), the drives may not operate correctly and transmitted data may be lost. To make sure that the drives in a chain operate properly, put no more than three expansion boxes in one chain; or make sure that the total length of SCSI cables in the chain does not exceed the 236-inch limit. Table 5-1 lists the length of the SCSI cables linking the drives inside each type of expansion box, as well as the lengths of SCSI cables that you use to connect the external storage devices to the system unit and to each other. The table is as accurate as possible, but actual lengths may vary by an inch or two. Table 5-1 SCSI Cable Lengths ------------------------------------------------------------ Cable Length ------------------------------------------------------------ Internal cable for BA42 expansion box 31 inches (79 centimeters) Internal cable for TCE unit 52 inches (132 centimeters) Internal cable for self-contained storage devices (for devices not listed here, refer to the documentation that came with the device: -For TK50Z tape drive 14 inches (36 centimeters) -For TLZ04 tape drive 37 inches (94 centimeters) -For RRD42 optical compact disc drive 6.5 inches (17 centimeters) System-unit-to-expansion-box cable (68-pin to 50-pin) 38 inches (97 centimeters) System-unit-to-TCE cable (68-pin to 68-pin) 26 inches (66 centimeters) SCSI box-to-box cable (50-pin to 50-pin) 26 inches (66 centimeters) Expansion-box-to-TCE cable (50-pin to 68-pin) 38 inches (97 centimeters) ------------------------------------------------------------ 5-16 External Storage Devices 5.6 Checking and Setting SCSI ID Numbers 5.6 Checking and Setting SCSI ID Numbers Each storage device in a group must have a SCSI ID, which the workstation uses to identify the device. The SCSI ID for each drive must: · Be a number from 0 to 6. The numbers do not have to be consecutive. · Be used only once for each group of drives connected to a single SCSI connector on the system unit. 5.6.1 To Check the SCSI ID The SCSI ID for a single drive in its own box is usually displayed in a small window on the back of the box. Table 5-2 lists the usual SCSI ID numbers assigned to drives preinstalled at Digital in BA42 or TCE expansion boxes. Table 5-2 Usual SCSI ID Assignments for External Drives ------------------------------------------------------------ Type of External Drive Usual SCSI ID Number ------------------------------------------------------------ Hard disk drive 0 Hard disk drives in a multi-drive expansion box 0 and 1 Diskette drive 4 Optical compact disc drive 4 Tape drive 5 ------------------------------------------------------------ You can use the cnfg command to check the SCSI ID of a specific drive. Connect the device to a SCSI connector on the system unit to which no other devices are connected. Then follow the instructions Section 5.7. 5.6.2 To Set the SCSI ID The SCSI IDs on most storage devices are preset to numbers that make it easy to connect different types of drives to the same SCSI connector without repeating SCSI IDs. However, the drives that you want to connect might have the same SCSI ID. If this happens, you must change the SCSI ID on those drives that repeat a SCSI ID number. On some drives, such as the RRD42 optical compact disc, you set the SCSI ID by pushing a button to increment or decrement the number displayed in the SCSI ID window. On other drives, you set the SCSI ID by setting toggle switches on the back of the drive. For more information about how to set the SCSI ID on a specific drive, see the user 's guide that came with that device. External Storage Devices 5-17 5.6 Checking and Setting SCSI ID Numbers Table 5-3 lists the SCSI ID switch positions you should use to set the SCSI ID to any number from 0 to 6 on drives installed in expansion boxes.

External Storage Devices 5-21 6 ------------------------------------------------------------ Optional Network Connections This chapter explains: · Where your workstation's Ethernet connector is located · When to use, how to install, and how to remove an Ethernet loopback connector · How to operate the sliding lock on the Ethernet connectors · How to find the Ethernet station address for your workstation · How to connect your workstation to ThickWire, ThinWire, and twisted-pair Ethernet networks Optional Network Connections 6-1 6.1 Locating Your Workstation Ethernet Connector 6.1 Locating Your Workstation Ethernet Connector The basic workstation comes with one ThickWire Ethernet connector built into the base system unit for attaching to a single Ethernet network. You can connect the workstation to more than one Ethernet network if you have additional ThickWire Ethernet connectors in any of the TURBOchannel option slots. (For instructions on how to install TURBOchannel ThickWire Ethernet modules, refer to your TURBOchannel user documentation.) The illustrations in this guide show the Ethernet connector on the base system unit. 6.2 Installing and Removing an Ethernet Loopback Connector Every Ethernet connector must be either connected to an Ethernet cable or terminated with an Ethernet loopback connector in order for your workstation to function correctly. If your workstation is not connected to an Ethernet network, you need to put an Ethernet loopback connector on the base system Ethernet connector and on any Ethernet connectors you may have in the TURBOchannel option slots. When you connect the workstation to a network, you must remove the loopback connector. Figure 6-1 shows how to attach and remove an Ethernet loopback connector. When attaching it, hold the connector so that the widest part of the metal rim is uppermost and matches the connector on the system unit. 6-2 Optional Network Connections 6.2 Installing and Removing an Ethernet Loopback Connector Figure 6-1 Installing and removing an Ethernet loopback connector 6.3 Operating the Ethernet Connector Sliding Lock There is a sliding lock on the ThickWire Ethernet connector on the base system and on each Ethernet option module that may be installed in the TURBOchannel option slots. There is also a sliding lock on one end of the ThickWire Ethernet cable that connects your workstation to the Ethernet network. Optional Network Connections 6-3 6.3 Operating the Ethernet Connector Sliding Lock To operate the sliding lock mechanism, follow these directions: 1. To unlock the sliding lock on the system unit Ethernet connector or on a ThickWire Ethernet cable, slide the lock in the direction of the small, u-shaped notch. (On the system unit, push the lock to the right with a flat-blade screwdriver. On the cable, push the lock either left or right toward the small notch, depending on the way the lock is mounted.) Figure 6-2 Unlocking the Ethernet sliding lock 6-4 Optional Network Connections 6.3 Operating the Ethernet Connector Sliding Lock 2. To lock the sliding lock on the system unit Ethernet connector or on a ThickWire Ethernet cable, push the protruding edge of the lock toward the center of the connector until it clicks into place. Check to make sure that the cable is locked securely in place before proceeding. Optional Network Connections 6-5 6.3 Operating the Ethernet Connector Sliding Lock Figure 6-3 Locking the Ethernet sliding lock 6-6 Optional Network Connections 6.4 Finding Your Ethernet Station Address 6.4 Finding Your Ethernet Station Address Every Ethernet connector has a built-in controller. That controller has a unique ID called an Ethernet station address. The system manager needs the Ethernet address (or addresses) for your workstation in order to complete the network connection for you.

The amount of memory can vary, depending on what memory modules you ordered for your workstation. The memory modules plug into the memory slots on the base system module. You can expand your workstation's memory to a total of 480 megabytes by installing up to fifteen 32-megabyte (MS02-CA) single in-line memory modules. All memory modules in your system unit must be the same type and have the same capacity. (The MS02L-AB, MS02-AA, and MS02-AB are compatible.)(See Chapter 9 for instructions on installing memory modules.) Inside the System Unit 8-3 8.2 Main Parts of the System Unit 8.2.3 Nonvolatile Random-Access Memory (NVRAM) Module Your workstation optionally comes with 1 megabyte of nonvolatile random- access memory (NVRAM). NVRAM provides a battery-backed-up memory disk cache that retains data during a power failure and improves workstation performance. The NVRAM module plugs into the last memory module slot on the base system module. See Chapter 9 for instructions on installing an NVRAM module. 8.2.4 The CPU Module The CPU module performs all the data processing functions of the workstation. It plugs into the base system module. The CPU module contains · R4000 central processing unit (CPU) · 1-Mbyte instruction and data secondary cache · 256 KD ROM that superceeds system ROM For information on installing a CPU module, refer to Chapter 9. 8.2.5 TURBOchannel Option Modules The system unit has space for up to three TURBOchannel option modules. TURBOchannel option modules can expand the capabilities of your workstation in the following ways: · Graphics modules allow you to connect one or more monitors to your workstation. Your workstation comes with one graphics option module installed. Graphics modules can be installed in: ------------------------------------------------------------ Any TURBOchannel option slot in the system unit ------------------------------------------------------------ A TURBOchannel extender (TCE) unit connected to the system unit · SCSI controller modules allow you to connect more external storage devices (such as disk, tape, and compact disc drives) to your workstation than the base system SCSI controller can accommodate. · Ethernet controller modules allow you to connect your workstation to more than one Ethernet network. · Other TURBOchannel option modules allow you to connect special options, such as DECaudio and DECvideo-in, to your workstation. 8-4 Inside the System Unit 8.2 Main Parts of the System Unit Some TURBOchannel options, including many graphics modules, take up the physical space and power of two or three TURBOchannel option slots, but have only one TURBOchannel address. These TURBOchannel modules are called wide modules. To avoid using more than one slot in your system unit for a double- or triple-wide module, you can install the wide module in a TURBOchannel extender (TCE) unit instead. You connect the TCE to a single-wide TCE option module installed in one of the three TURBOchannel option slots in the system unit. The TCE can contain one wide module (for instance, a graphics module), as well as tape, disk, or compact disc drives. For more information about TURBOchannel options and how to install them, refer to the TURBOchannel Options User 's Guide. 8.2.6 The Power Supply The DECstation 5000 Model 260 workstation has a fully self-contained, 244-watt maximum, fan-cooled power supply.

Installing Internal Option Modules 9-23 9.4 Installing and Removing TURBOchannel Option Modules 9.4 Installing and Removing TURBOchannel Option Modules Your DECstation 5000 Model 260 workstation comes with three TURBOchannel option slots in which you can install various TURBOchannel option modules. You can install a double- or triple-wide TURBOchannel module in either the system unit or a TCE. (For a discussion of TURBOchannel options, refer to Section 8.2.5.) If you are installing a TURBOchannel module in a TCE, you also need to install a TCE option module in the system unit, which connects to the module in the TCE. Follow these instructions: 1. Remove the cover from the workstation system unit (see Section 8.3). 2. Refer to the TURBOchannel Extender Operator 's Guide for instructions on installing the TURBOchannel module in the TCE and the TCE option module in the system unit. If you are installing TURBOchannel option modules in the system unit, follow these instructions: 1. Remove the cover on the system unit (see ``Section 8.3'' on page 8-6 for instructions). 2. Refer to the chapter in the TURBOchannel Options User 's Guide that discusses the option you want to install. 9-24 Installing Internal Option Modules Part IV ------------------------------------------------------------ Managing Your Workstation 10 ------------------------------------------------------------ Using the Console Commands This chapter describes: · The use of console and operating modes · How to use console mode · How to install a terminal as an alternate system console · Rules for console commands · Console conventions · Console commands · Environmental variables Using the Console Commands 10-1 10.1 Console and Operating Modes 10.1 Console and Operating Modes Your workstation functions in two modes: console mode and operating mode. When your workstation is in console mode, you are using the setup and testing software that is built into the workstation. You use console mode and the console commands for such tasks as: · Running workstation self-tests · Displaying workstation hardware configurations · Setting workstation environmental variables · Booting (starting) the operating system When your workstation is in operating mode, you use your worksystem software for such activities as: · Running applications in DECwindows · Backing up files · Sending and receiving electronic mail This manual explains how to use the workstation in console mode. Your worksystem software manuals explain how to use the workstation in operating mode. 10.2 Using Console Mode The workstation starts in console mode and stays in that mode until you start your worksystem software. While you are in console mode, you can use the console commands, which are the commands of the built-in setup and testing software. You enter console commands at the system console. If you connected only one monitor to your workstation, that monitor is your system console. If you connected multiple monitors, the monitor in the TURBOchannel option slot with the lowest number is the system console. If you have no graphics monitor or if you have connected a terminal and typed setenv console s, the terminal is your system console. 10-2 Using the Console Commands 10.2 Using Console Mode 10.2.1 To Enter Console Mode To enter console mode, do one of the following: · If you are using ULTRIX worksystem software, type shutdown -h now at the ULTRIX prompt and press Return. · Press the halt button on the back of the system unit. · Turn off the power to the system unit and turn it back on again. ------------------------------------------------------------ Caution ------------------------------------------------------------ Be sure that your workstation and any worksystem software are shut down before you turn off the power or press the halt button. Otherwise, data may be lost or corrupted. ------------------------------------------------------------ 10.2.2 Console Prompts When you use console mode, the workstation displays one of these two prompts on the screen of the system console: >> or R>. · The >> prompt means that the workstation is in privileged mode. You can execute all console commands at the console prompt. · The R> prompt means that the workstation is in restricted mode because someone has set up a password requirement to restrict access to the console prompt. At the restricted console prompt, you can use only the boot and passwd console commands until you enter the correct password. To change the console prompt to (>>), type passwd and press Return. Then enter the console password and press Return again. If you do not know the password, contact your system manager or a Digital service representative. Using the Console Commands 10-3 10.3 Installing a Terminal as an Alternate System Console 10.3 Installing a Terminal as an Alternate System Console The system console displays error messages and other system messages from the workstation, from networks, and from the worksystem software. You also use the system console to enter console commands, such as the cnfg command. You generally use your workstation monitor in console mode as the system console. If a monitor is not available, you can use a terminal as an alternate system console. A terminal can display text only; it cannot display illustrations, DECwindows, or DECwindows applications; therefore, you cannot use a terminal as a standard workstation monitor. Some users prefer to connect both a monitor and a terminal to their workstations. In console mode, with both a monitor and a terminal configured, the monitor screen displays graphics tests while the terminal screen displays other tests and text input. The following instructions describe how to install a terminal and keyboard as a system console. Contact your Customer Support Center if you have questions about using a terminal. 10.3.1 To Install a Terminal as a System Console 1. Follow the instructions that came with your worksystem software to shut down the software. 2. Turn off the system unit by pressing the O on the On/Off switch on the back of the system unit. 3. Plug a communications connector adapter into one of the serial communications connectors on the system unit (communications port 3 is preferred). 4. Find the terminal-to-system-unit cable that came with your terminal. Notice that it has telephone-jack-type connectors on both ends. Plug one end of the terminal-to-system-unit cable into the communications connector adapter (see Figure 10-1). 5. Plug the other end of the terminal-to-system-unit cable into the modular connector on the back of the terminal. 10-4 Using the Console Commands 10.3 Installing a Terminal as an Alternate System Console Figure 10-1 Connecting a VT320 terminal to the system unit Using the Console Commands 10-5 10.3 Installing a Terminal as an Alternate System Console 6. Find the coiled keyboard cable that came with your terminal. Notice that it has telephone-jack-type connectors at both ends, and that one end has a keyboard icon. Plug the end of the terminal keyboard cable with the keyboard icon into the connector on the side of the terminal. 7. Plug the other end of the terminal keyboard cable into the modular connector on the end of the terminal keyboard. 8. Connect a power cord to the terminal and to a power outlet. 9. Turn on the terminal and the system unit and wait for the system self-test to finish before proceeding. The workstation monitor, rather than the terminal, is still acting as the system console at this point. 10.3.2 To Activate the Terminal as the System Console You must set the console environmental variable to s to make the terminal your system console. The operating system will then be under the control of the terminal each time you boot the system, until you change the console environmental variable again. If you are using a terminal and have no graphics monitor, you need not set the variable to s because the system will default to the terminal. 1. Follow the instructions that came with your worksystem software to shut down the software. 2. To activate the terminal as the system console, type setenv console s at the workstation monitor console prompt and press Return. 10-6 Using the Console Commands 10.3 Installing a Terminal as an Alternate System Console 10.3.3 To Make Your Workstation Monitor the System Console The workstation monitor is the system console by default. If you have set the console environmental variable to s, your terminal is currently the system console. To make your monitor the system console again, 1. Follow the instructions that came with your worksystem software to shut down the software. 2. Type setenv console * at the console prompt on the terminal and press Return. 3. Turn off the terminal if you are using the monitor as the system console. (You need not turn off the terminal in console mode and turn it on again to boot ULTRIX.) Using the Console Commands 10-7 10.4 Rules for Console Commands 10.4 Rules for Console Commands You can use all console commands when the system monitor displays the console prompt (>>). You can use only the boot and passwd commnds at the restricted console prompt (R>) until you enter the correct password. Then the normal console prompt (>>) appears. To use a console command, type the command as shown, add appropriate options and arguments, and press Return. Follow these rules: · Type uppercase and lowercase letters exactly as they appear in the manual. The system recognizes the difference between uppercase and lowercase letters. · Press Return after typing a command. · Use these keys: ------------------------------------------------------------ Ctrl-s to freeze the screen display. ------------------------------------------------------------ Ctrl-q to release a frozen screen display. ------------------------------------------------------------ Ctrl-c to abort a command. ------------------------------------------------------------ Ctrl-u to erase a partially typed command line. ------------------------------------------------------------ DEL to erase the last character typed. ------------------------------------------------------------ To use the Ctrl commands, hold down the Ctrl key while you type the letter of the command. For example, to use Ctrl-s, hold down Ctrl while you type s. · To type a hexadecimal number, precede the number with 0x (zero x). To type an octal number, precede the number with 0 (zero). To type a decimal number, do not precede the number with any leading 0s (zeros). 10-8 Using the Console Commands 10.5 Conventions Used 10.5 Conventions Used · Letters in boldface type should be typed exactly as they appear. · Words in italic type are options or arguments for the commands. You must replace them with the appropriate information. For example, the script command has a scriptname argument. When you type the command, you replace scriptname with the name of the script you are creating. · Options are read by the console programs. Arguments are read by the worksystem software. · When options and arguments are shown in brackets, you should use them only if they are appropriate. When they are not in brackets, you must always use them. For example, the printenv command is shown like this: printenv [env] Because [env] is enclosed in brackets, you should use it only when you want to display the setting of one environmental variable. The script command is shown like this: script scriptname Because scriptname is not shown in brackets, you must use it in every script command. Do not enclose options and arguments in brackets when you type them. The brackets are just a way of showing you when to use them. · When an argument is followed by an ellipsis, you can use more than one argument with the command. Using the Console Commands 10-9 10.6 Console Commands 10.6 Console Commands This section explains all of the console commands for workstation users, system managers, service representatives, and other technical specialists. Table 10-1 lists the console commands. Table 10-1 Console Commands ------------------------------------------------------------ Command Function ------------------------------------------------------------ ?

The console commands appear in the help menu on the screen as follows: boot [[-z #] [-n] #/path [ARG...]] cat SCRPT cnfg [#] d [-bhw] [-S #] RNG val e [-bhwcdoux] [-S #] RNG erl [-c] go [ADR] init [#] [-m] [ARG...] ls [#] passwd [-c] [-s] printenv [EVN] restart script SCRPT setenv EVN STR sh [-belvS] [SCRPT] [ARG...] t [-l] #/STR [ARG...] unsetenv EVN The following subsections describe the console commands in detail. Note that the command descriptions do not always use the format that appears in the help menu. 10.6.1 ? >>? [command] The ? command displays the help menu. If you enter the name of a specific command after the ?, the screen displays the help message for that command only. 10.6.2 boot The boot command loads and executes the program specified by #/path, where # is the slot number of the device that you are booting from, and path is the file specification of the program. >>boot [OPTIONS] [#/path] [argument...] Options are -a Use a multiuser bootstrap. -n Load but do not execute path program. -z number Wait for number seconds, then boot. Using the Console Commands 10-11 10.6 Console Commands The -a argument boots for a multiuser environment; to perform a single- user boot, enter the boot command without the -a argument. The -n option suppresses execution of the program after it is loaded. The -z option causes the system to wait before booting. When you enter the command with no options, path, or argument, the options, path, and argument in the boot environmental variable are used (see Section 10.7). The following example of the boot command uses the options and arguments that you set in the boot environmental variable: boot The following command boots from a tape drive in base slot 3 (tz is the device code of the drive, and 5 is its SCSI ID number): boot 3/tz5 The following command boots from the network that is connected to your workstation at option slot 2: boot 2/mop The following command performs a multiuser boot (-a) using the file vmunix on an external drive (rz1) in base slot 3 (rz1 is the device code and SCSI ID for the drive): boot 3/rz1/vmunix -a 10.6.3 cat >>cat #/scriptname The cat command displays the contents of the script specified by scriptname. The # option indicates the number of the slot where the script is stored. 10-12 Using the Console Commands 10.6 Console Commands 10.6.4 cnfg >>cnfg [#] The cnfg command displays important information about the configuration of your workstation such as the kind of hardware in the workstation and connected to it. If you type a slot number for #, the command displays configuration information for that slot. Otherwise, it displays general information for all the slots. The following example shows the display for a cnfg command in which the specific slot number was not specified. This information shows the kinds of modules in the base system slot (base slot 3) and in the option slots. The workstation has option modules in slots 0 and 1, but not in slot 2.

Values can be stored as words, halfwords, or bytes. The default option is word. The command writes the specified value through the range of specified addresses. No intervening blanks are allowed in an address range. Options are: -w Word (default) -h Halfword -b Byte -S count Repeat deposit count times The -S option causes a value to be stored repeatedly in memory. The value is stored count times at each address in the address range. Ranges can be: address Single address address:address Starting and ending address address#count Starting address and the number of addresses range,range Multiple address ranges separated by commas. Note that no space follows the comma in an address range. Using the Console Commands 10-17 10.6 Console Commands 10.6.6 e >>e [OPTIONS] RANGE The e, or examine, command examines the contents of memory. Memory can be examined as words, halfwords, or bytes. The default option is word. The e command examines values in the range of addresses specified. Options are: -w Word (default) -h Halfword -b Byte -S count Repeat examine count times -x Display in hexadecimal format -o Display in octal format -u Display in unsigned decimal format -d Display in decimal format -c Display as ASCII characters You can choose how to display the memory data with format options: -x, -o, -u, -d, and -c. You can use more than one option, in which case the data is displayed in every format that you choose. If you do not indicate a format, the system displays the data in hexadecimal format. The -S option fetches the contents of each address in the address range count times. The screen displays only the final value in each range. Ranges can be: address Single address address:address Starting and ending address address#count Starting address and number of addresses range,range Multiple addresses Note that no intervening space follows the comma in an address range. 10.6.7 erl >>erl [-c] The erl command displays the log of error messages (see Chapter 11). The system records error messages in a special error log buffer, and the erl command displays the contents of this buffer. If you specify -c, the buffer is cleared. The system stops recording error messages when the buffer is full and resumes when the buffer is cleared. 10-18 Using the Console Commands 10.6 Console Commands 10.6.8 go >>go [address] The go command transfers control of the workstation to the specified address. If you do not specify an address, go uses the execution address returned by the last boot -n command. If the boot -n command has not been executed and no address is specified, the system ignores the go command. 10.6.9 init >>init [#] [argument...] The init command initializes module hardware. If you specify a slot number (#), the command initializes the modules in that slot only. Arguments are specific to each module. 10.6.10 ls >>ls [#] The ls (list) command displays a list of the files in a module ROM. If you do not specify a slot number (#), the command lists the files for all modules. 10.6.11 passwd >>passwd [OPTIONS] The passwd command enters, sets, or clears your console password. Options are: -s Set a new console password -c Clear the console password The console password keeps unauthorized people from using the console commands on your workstation. You do not need to use the password if security is not an issue in your workplace. When you first set up your workstation, you do not need a console password. The only way that a console password can be required is if you choose to start using one. 1 ------------------------------------------------------------ 1 The console password is not the same as the passwords required by your worksystem software or networks. The console password protects your workstation hardware by controlling access to the console commands. Using the Console Commands 10-19 10.6 Console Commands To start using a console password, type passwd -s and press Return. The system displays a prompt (pwd:) asking you to type the password that you want to use. Type a word with at least six characters. You can use letters and numbers; the system recognizes the difference between uppercase and lowercase letters. The system displays the pwd: prompt twice. Type the same password each time. For security reasons, the screen does not display what you type, so choose a password that is easy to remember. Once you choose a password, the system displays the restricted console prompt when you first start your workstation: R> At this prompt, you can only boot your worksystem software or enter your console password. · Boot your worksystem software. Type boot and press Return. This is the only boot command that you can use. It has no options or arguments. It uses the values that you set in the boot environmental variable (see Section 10.7). If you have not set the variable, the command does not work. · Enter your console password. Type passwd and press Return. Then type your console password at the pwd: prompt. The screen does not display what you type. After you enter your console password, the prompt changes to the standard console prompt (>>). You can now use all the console commands that are described in this chapter. To stop using your console password, type passwd -c at the standard console prompt and press Return. You will then have unrestricted access to the console commands. 10.6.12 printenv >>printenv [env] The printenv command displays the values of environmental variables. If you specify the name of an environmental variable, the command displays the value of only that variable. See Section 10.7. 10-20 Using the Console Commands 10.6 Console Commands 10.6.13 restart >>restart The restart command attempts to restart the worksystem software. This command relies on a restart facility that you must enable in the worksystem software. 10.6.14 script >>script scriptname The script command allows you to write a short temporary script at the system console. A script is a miniprogram. After you write the script, you can run it with the sh command, or you can type the name (scriptname) of the script by itself at the console prompt to execute the script. To write a script, type script followed by a name for the script and press Return. Then write the script line by line. When you are done, go to a new line and press Return. 10.6.15 setenv >>setenv env value The setenv command sets the value of an environmental variable. You must enclose the command in double quotation marks if value contains blank spaces. See Section 10.7. 10.6.16 sh >>sh [OPTIONS] [#/scriptname] [argument...] The sh, or shell, command activates, or runs, a script. Replace # with the slot number of the module that contains the script. Options are: -e Exit on error. -b Branch to script. -v Verbose; echo to console. -S Suppress script-not-found errors. -l Execute in a loop. (This option is the letter ``el,'' not the number one.) Using the Console Commands 10-21 10.6 Console Commands If you specify a script name for the scriptname option, the script is used as the input. Otherwise, what you type at the console is the input, and a subshell is created. When you run a shell script, environmental variable 0 is set to the script name, 1 is set to the first argument in the script, 2 is set to the second argument, and so on. The -e option directs the shell to exit when an error occurs. Normally, the shell ignores errors. The -b option executes the script specified by scriptname instead of creating a subshell. The -v option causes the script to be echoed to the console when it is executed; the default setting is no echo. The -S option suppresses any error message if the script is not found and causes the sh command to return a status that indicates success. The -1 option causes a script to be executed continuously until a system reset occurs or you press Ctrl-c. 10.6.17 t >>t [OPTIONS] #/testname [argument...] The t, or test, command runs module tests. Specify a test with #/testname, where # is the slot number, and testname is a module-specific test. Option is: -l Execute in a loop The -l option makes the test run continuously until a system reset occurs or you press Ctrl-c. If the t command is part of a script, the system console displays #/testname as each test runs. To display the tests and test formats for a specific module, type t #/?, where # is the slot number of the module. Type test to run the script that performs a thorough test of the entire system. Typing test is a shorthand way of typing sh 3/test. If you type sh -l 3/test, the test runs continuously. 10.6.18 unsetenv >>unsetenv env The unsetenv command removes a standard environmental variable during the current session. When the system is reset, the values of the standard environmental variables revert to their previously set values. When you enter the command, replace variable with the name of the environmental variable that you want to remove (see Section 10.7). 10-22 Using the Console Commands 10.6 Console Commands 10.7 Environmental Variables Environmental variables store system parameters and scripts and pass information to the operating system. Some environmental variables persist; others are lost when you turn off the power. Table 10-4 summarizes the console commands for setting environmental variables. Table 10-5 lists the standard environmental variables that you can set. Table 10-4 Console Commands for Environmental Variables ------------------------------------------------------------ Command Description ------------------------------------------------------------ printenv Displays the value of environmental variables setenv Sets the value of an environmental variable unsetenv Deletes the value of an environmental variable ------------------------------------------------------------ Using the Console Commands 10-23 10.7 Environmental Variables Table 10-5 Environmental Variables Set by User ------------------------------------------------------------ boot 1 Specifies arguments for the boot command. console 1 Chooses the system console. You normally do not set this variable. Any setting except s, including the default ``blank'' setting, selects autoconfiguration and makes your monitor and monitor keyboard the system console. Autoconfiguration makes the monitor in the lowest- numbered option slot the system console. If the workstation has no monitor connected to a graphics module, communications connector 3 becomes the system console slot. To activate a terminal as an alternate system console, set console to s. Set console to * to make your graphics monitor the system console again. To display the language menu on the system console, set console to zero. If more than one monitor is connected to the system unit, the monitor in the lowest-numbered slot is the system console. haltaction 1 Specifies what happens when you press the halt button or turn on the power: b Boots the worksystem software, as specified by the boot environmental variable. h Halts the worksystem software and displays the console prompt. r Restarts the worksystem software. If the restart fails, boots the software. more Specifies the greatest number of lines of text that can fit on the screen at one time. When text scrolls on the screen, the system stops the scrolling at the number of lines that you set. If you set the number to zero, the text scrolls continuously. testaction 1 Controls the power-up self-test: t Specifies a thorough (but slow) testing of the system. q Specifies a quicker but less thorough test. m Specifies manufacturing tests. Do not use this setting. # Specifies the number of the module that contains the current script. If no script is active, the system module is assumed. ------------------------------------------------------------ 1 These environmental variables persist in memory until you delete them. ------------------------------------------------------------ There are other environmental variables. Some, like oconsole, should not be changed. Others can be set as implementation-specific side effects of various bootstrap and test procedures. 10-24 Using the Console Commands 11 ------------------------------------------------------------ Troubleshooting This chapter describes: · Help within this manual · Checking the LED display · Checking hardware connections · Using the system self-test · Interpreting self-test messages · Contacting the Customer Support Center Troubleshooting 11-1 11.1 Where to Look in This Manual for Help 11.1 Where to Look in This Manual for Help · If some part of your workstation fails to turn on, check the LED display (see Section 11.2). · If the workstation turns on, but a component does not function properly, check for correct connections (see Section 11.3). · If the workstation turns on and everything is connected, but the workstation still does not function properly, use the full system self-test (see Section 11.4). 11.2 Checking the LED Display An indicator light on each hardware component of your workstation shows whether the unit has power or not. In addition, eight small, red diagnostic LED lights on the back of the system unit indicate whether or not the basic components of the workstation are ready to use. If the workstation is not functioning and no error messages appear on the monitor, check the power indicator lights and the diagnostic LED display. The on/off pattern of the LED display indicates which portion of the power-up self-test failed. 11-2 Troubleshooting 11.2 Checking the LED Display Figure 11-1 Indicator light and LED display Troubleshooting 11-3 11.2 Checking the LED Display Table 11-1 shows you how to interpret the LED display codes. The codes are shown in the order in which the tests run, so you can determine which subtests ran successfully and at what point the test failed. If the LED display indicates a problem with your workstation, try the suggestion provided for that LED code. If no specific suggestion is given, or if the suggested procedure does not solve the problem, try reinstalling the CPU module and the memory modules on the base system module. Then restart the workstation. If the problem persists, call your system manager or the Digital Customer Support Center.

If the product is connected to the service with anything other than its own approved cables, those cables must benefit from the relevant general approval and/or conform with any other applicable requirements. C-2 Regulatory Information for the United Kingdom C.2 Approvals for Digital Circuits ------------------------------------------------------------ Caution ------------------------------------------------------------ Ports J2, J3, J4, J5, J6, J7, J16, J17, J28, J33, J54, J55, J56, J57 (shown in Figure C-1) do not provide sufficient isolation to satisfy the requirements of the relevant parts of standard BS6301. Any product connected to these ports must meet one of the following conditions: · Be covered by OFTEL's General Approval NS/G/1234/J/100003 (All products supplied by Digital comply with this General Approval.) · Have been approved to the relevant parts of standard BS6301 · Have previously been evaluated against the British Telecom (Post Office) Technical Guide 2 or 26 and given permission to attach Other usage will invalidate any approval given to this apparatus. ------------------------------------------------------------ Regulatory Information for the United Kingdom C-3 C.2 Approvals for Digital Circuits Figure C-1 System Module J-Connector Locations Interconnection directly, or by way of other apparatus, of ports marked by the safety warning label with other ports that are marked or not so marked, may produce hazardous conditions on the network. Seek advice from a competent engineer before making any such connection. C-4 Regulatory Information for the United Kingdom C.3 Host Independent Approvals C.3 Host Independent Approvals The PMBA-AA is approved only for installation in an approved host with approved attachments. For approval, the host and host attachments must be either: · Type-approved (meaning the equipment is built exactly like the models that were originally approved) · Marked with or supplied with a statement that the host is supplied under General Approval Number NS/G/1234/J/100003, if the equipment was supplied after March 1, 1989. Except at the edge connector which plugs into the host's expansion slot, clearance and creepage distances of Xmm and Ymm, as listed below must be maintained between the PMBA-AA and other parts of the host, including any other expansion cards fitted. Table C-2 Clearance and Creepage Specs for PMBA-AA ------------------------------------------------------------ Clearance Xmm Creepage Ymm Voltage 1 ------------------------------------------------------------ 2.0 2.4 (3.8) up to 50 2.6 3.0 (4.8) up to 125 4.0 5.0 (8.0) up to 250 4.0 6.4 (10.0) up to 300 ------------------------------------------------------------ 1 Used or generated by other parts of the host or expansion card (Vrms or Vdc) ------------------------------------------------------------ Clearance is the shortest distance in air between two points. Creepage is the shortest distance along continuous solid parts between the same two points. The creepage distances apply when installed in a normal office environment. The creepage distance shown in parentheses apply where the local environment within the Host Computer is subject to conductive pollution or dry non-conductive pollution which could become conductive due to condensation. These distances can be checked by measuring between the adjacent parts. If in doubt, advice should be obtained from a competent telecom safety engineer. Failure to install the PMBA-AA in accordance with these instructions will invalidate the approval.
