Run PowerĆup Diagnostic SelfĆtest
Each time the MicroVAX Information Processor is powered up, it runs a
series of self-tests. The test results are displayed and then you see the
Console prompt. Once the Console prompt is displayed, you can run
self-tests on individual devices or call up the system configuration table to
look at test results.
ATTENTION: Do not power down the MicroVAX Information
Processor before the power-up self-test is completed. If the
power-up sequence is interrupted, the hardware defaults in the
non-volatile random-access memory may become corrupted.
