AboutThisGuide

This document is a quick reference guide of basic systems operations for

VAX 8200 and VAX 8300 systems. It summarizes such system tasks as

booting and console operation as they relate to VAX 8200 and VAX 8300

systems.

Intended Audience

This guide is designed primarily for the following:

• System software support personnel

• Digital Services personnel

• System managers

• Instructors and participants in certain OpenVMS operating system

courses:

Systems Troubleshooting

System and Network Management I, II, and III

Document Scope

This guide describes various aspects of VAX 8200 and VAX 8300 systems

operations including:

• Console subsystem overview

• Operators control panel

• Console command language

• System boot procedures

• System shutdown procedures

• System backup procedures

ConsoleSubsystem

1.1 Introduction

The console subsystem provides the means to control and monitor system

operations and to examine and deposit data in memory or processor

registers. The console subsystem consists of the following:

• Console terminal

• Control panel

• Console diskette drive

• Console command language

1.2 Console Terminal

The console terminal is a hardcopy terminal which prints a log of

processor activities. Ensure that the terminal always contains enough

paper.

1.3 Control Panel

VAX 8200 and VAX 8300 control panels are nearly identical. The panel is

located on the front of the system cabinet and includes the following:

• A 4-position keylock switch

• A 3-position keylock switch

• Three processor indicator lights

• Restart push button

1–1

1–2 Console Subsystem

Figure 1–1 shows the control panel. Refer to Tables 1–1 to Table 1–4 for

descriptions of the two keylock switches, the three indicator lights, and

the restart push button.

Table 1–1 Upper Keylock Switch Settings

Setting Meaning

Off Turns off power in the entire system, including the battery

backup unit. There is no corresponding light for this key

position.

Standby Turns on the power supply, the blower in the main unit, and

system memory; the corresponding indicator light glows red.

Enable When the switch setting is changed from Standby to Enable, the

system self-tests run. When the upper keylock switch is set to

Enable, the corresponding indicator light glows yellow. Power

is supplied to the entire system. You can use the local console

terminal in console mode to control the computer.

If the lower keylock switch is set to Auto Start, pressing the

Restart push button reboots the system.

Secure This setting maintains power to the entire system and is used

for normal operation; the corresponding indicator light glows

green. You cannot use the local console terminal in console mode

to control the processor. You cannot reboot the operating system

by pressing the Restart push button.

Console Subsystem 1–3

Table 1–2 Lower Keylock Switch Settings

Setting Meaning

Update When the lower keylock switch is set to Update, the

corresponding indicator light glows red. You can change data

in the Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory

(EEPROM) using the EEPROM utility.

Halt When the lower keylock switch is set to Halt, the corresponding

indicator light glows yellow. The system halts in console

mode. It displays the console-mode prompt (>>>) at the console

terminal when power is turned on after a power failure, after

an error halt, or after a shutdown. This setting prevents

booting of the operating system when power is turned on.

Auto Start When the lower keylock switch is set to Auto Start, the

corresponding indicator light glows green. Use this setting for

normal system operation to let the system reboot automatically

when power is restored after a power failure, after an error

halt, or after a shutdown. If the upper keylock switch is set to

Enable, pressing the Restart push button reboots the system.

Table 1–3 Indicator Lights

Label Meaning

Run Glows when the processor is running and the console subsystem is in

program mode.

Battery Indicates the state of the backup battery unit (BBU):

Indicator State BBU State

Steady glow Fully charged

Slow ﬂashing Charging

Quick ﬂashing Supplying power to system

No light Not present or failed

Fault Glows during self-tests and turns off when self-tests complete

successfully. If the Fault light continues to glow after self-tests

complete, the self-tests have detected a hardware fault. If the Fault

light glows after self-tests complete and the OpenVMS operating

system boots, the system has detected a failure in a hardware module.
