Please move your new kernel from /sys/MIPS/machine_name to root after clearing enough space for it. After verifying that the system is operating properly with WDD installed you may wish to remove the following saved files: - ./sys/conf/mips/machine_name.sav[n] (b) Move the new kernel to /. (c) Boot the new kernel to use WDD. NOTE: To use this release of the WAN Device Drivers and Datalinks, a Product Authorization Key (PAK) license must be installed! In the sample above, there was not enough disk space to save the old kernel, vmunix. In this case, the next step would be to overwrite the old kernel, vmunix, with the new kernel by issuing the following command: # mv /sys/MIPS/your_machine_name/vmunix /vmunix Installation 2-15 Chapter 3 ------------------------------------------------------------ Troubleshooting As described in Chapter 2, a problem with the DEC WANcontroller 720 module is easily detected by the system self-test feature. However, this does not check the 100-pin input/output connections on the module, the adapter cable connections, or the adapter cable itself, unless they are installed with loopback connector(s). You can test the 100-pin input/output connections on the module by using the self-test feature in conjunction with the 100-pin loopback connector supplied in the kit. The adapter cable connections and the adapter cable itself can be tested using 50-pin loopback connectors (part number: H3199). Note H3199 50-pin loopbacks are not part of the kit. They are only available through your local DIGITAL Field Service represen- tative. As described in the following procedures (Section 3.1 and Section 3.2), you first test the input/output connections on the module using the 100- pin loopback connector. Then you test the input/output connections of the module and adapter cable using two 50-pin loopback connectors. Troubleshooting 3-1 Information concerning error messages and other troubleshooting tech- niques are provided in Section 3.3. Note If a problem with the DEC WANcontroller 720 module cannot be resolved, contact your local DIGITAL branch office. 3-2 Troubleshooting 3.1 Loopback Connector Test To determine if any input/output connections on the DEC WANcontroller 720 module are defective, proceed as follows: CAUTION Turning off system power during system operation can corrupt the system media. Always shut down the system software first. 1. Shut down the system software according to your system software manual. 2. Turn off the system power. 3. Disconnect the adapter cable attached to the module input/output connector. 4. Plug the 100-pin loopback connector into the module input/output connector in place of the adapter cable. NOTE Ensure that the screws are tight so that there is a good electrical connection between the connector and the chassis of your system unit. 5. Turn on the system power and observe the system monitor as the system goes through its self-test. If a failure is detected as described in Chapter 2, replace the module. If there is no failure, test the adapter cable as described in Section 3.2. Troubleshooting 3-3 3.2 Adapter Cable Test After verifying the module connections using the 100-pin loopback con- nector, proceed as follows to verify the adapter cable and connections: CAUTION Turning off system power during system operation can corrupt the system media. Always shut down the system software first. 1. Turn off the system power. 2. Remove the 100-pin loopback connector and reconnect the adapter cable to the DEC WANcontroller 720 module. NOTE Ensure that the screws are tight so that there is a good electrical connection between the connector and the chassis of your system unit. 3. Install two 50-pin loopback connectors on the opposite ends of the adapter cable. 4. Turn on the system power and observe the system monitor as the system goes through its self-test. If a failure is detected as described in Chapter 2, replace the adapter cable. If there is no failure, then the DEC WANcontroller 720 module and the adapter cable test is successful. 5. Proceed to Section 2.2.2 and continue at step 12. 3-4 Troubleshooting 3.3 Self-Test Error Messages As described in Chapter 2, the system self-test feature reports any errors detected during self-test to the monitor in the system's error message format. The following provides an example of an error message, an interpretation of the message, and a troubleshooting procedure to help isolate a problem. ?TFL: 0/rom (address:be8003f8 = AAA5 sb AAAA) [DSYT1-AA] · ?TFL: -- indicates that this is an error message. · 0/ -- indicates the slot number of the module that failed. In this example, the module in slot 0 failed. · rom -- indicates the individual test that failed. In this example, the ROM test failed. · (address:be8003f8 = AAA5 sb AAAA) -- provides additional informa- tion concerning the error. In this example, a data error occurred at address be8003f8. · [DSYT1-AA] -- is the identification number of the module that failed. In this example, the module is a DSYT1-AA. If the results of the self-test indicate a failure on the DEC WANcontroller 720 option (DSYT1), use the following procedure to help isolate the problem. CAUTION Static electricity can damage modules and electronic components. Digital recommends using a grounded antistatic wrist strap and a grounded work surface when handling any modules. 1. Ensure that the module is properly inserted in its slot and that anything connected to it is secure. Troubleshooting 3-5 2. If you have another option module that you know is good, try it in that option slot. If the test no longer fails, the problem is in the DEC WANcontroller 720 module. If the test continues to fail, the problem is probably in the system module. 3. If you do not have another optional module that you know is good, move the DEC WANcontroller 720 module to another option slot and run the test again. If the test no longer fails, the problem is in the system module. If the test continues to fail, the problem is in either the DEC WANcontroller 720 module or the system module. 3-6 Troubleshooting Appendix A ------------------------------------------------------------ Specifications This appendix provides the specifications for the DEC WANcontroller 720.
