LEDs and System Startup Cycle
Table C-1 shows a system startup cycle and possible points of failure,
up to and including the state in which the
VXIinit initialization
program asserts the ONLINE LED.

Possible Problem if
VXIpc 800 Fails
1 None Machine just turned on. The VXIpc 800 is not receiving
power.
2 FAILED,
SYSFAIL Now asserting SYSFAIL because
VXIbus interface has not been
initialized yet. Power-on self configuration (POSC)
cannot execute because of problems
with system reset or because the
POSCEN switch is incorrectly
configured.
3 FAILED,
TEST VXI interface is being initialized by
MITE power-on self configuration
(POSC) circuitry. POSC has stalled.
4 TEST POSC circuitry has initialized VXI
interface, setting PASSED and
DONE bits. POSC stalled before clearing the
TEST LED.
5 None POSC cycles are complete. VXI port
is ready to respond to Resource
Manager inquiries. POSC completed successfully;
however, the Resource Manager
either hung or was not executed.
6 ONLINE Resource Manager has been
executed, indicating that the VXI
software can now communicate with
the VXI circuitry. Resource Manager interface
initialized successfully.
