Solving Problems

Managing a Boot Failure

The boot program is located in the ﬁrmware of your Model 743. You can

conﬁgure the behavior of the boot process by interacting with the Boot Con-

sole Handler (BCH). See Appendix A for procedures dealing with the boot

console handler.

Problems during the ﬁrst stage of the boot process are rare. If you have indi-

cations that the boot process has failed, check the following items:

• No power to the host system. Check the local circuit breakers and the

power connections to your VMEbus chassis.

• Processor hardware failure.

• Interface card hardware failure.

• The Model 743 is not fully plugged into its VME slot.

• The LAN MAU connector is loose.

• The SCSI cable is not properly connected.

After checking these items, power off the VMEbus host system. Wait ﬁve or

ten seconds and power on the system.

If the problem recurs, record the following information and report it to your

HP service representative:
