Diagnostic Procedures
All of the procedures in this chapter require an attached
VGA monitor. You should a lso have a diagnost ic diskette
(such as Ch eckIt ®) and a bo otable 1.4 MB blank d iskette,
t o analyze the system config uration.
Once an FRX6000 is opera tiona l, much diagnostic in for matio n is
avai lable through menu- level operatio ns (des crib ed in the Netlink
FR X40 00 & F RX600 0 Us er Guid e). Howev er, some probl ems might
arise that do not readily id entify themselves thro ugh system error
m ess ages or ob vious ch anges in o perati on. Thi s chapt er des cribes the
procedures for veri fying correct config uration and operation of an
FRX6000. It also provides some gu idelines for pursuing a solution if
there is a problem.
When an FRX6000 is switched o n, the following should oc cur :
●
The fan(s) and the power light on the front panel will come on.
●
BIOS identifying informatio n will be displayed.
●
There will be a short beep as me mory is tested , and the sc reen
will display the memory being counted.
●
Each disk drive’s access light will come on as the disks are
searched for the necessary DOS boot files.
●
As the softwa re i s l oa ded, me ssa ge s will be displa ye d.
If there are problems during boot-up, e rror messages will be displayed, and the process will c ontinue after the message has be en displayed for a short time (so watch the screen carefully).
Once the software has correctly loaded, a screen similar to the following will be displayed.

It can probably be asssumed that if you are reading this chapter, the
node did not boot corr ec tly as desc ri bed. The re mainder of t his
chapter describes steps for identifying and fixing some problems.
Certain problems may be easy to track down; for example:
●
If there seems to be no power at all, check to make sure the
power cor d is secure ly conn ected at b oth ends and th at ther e is
power (of the appropriate voltage) at the receptacle.
●
If there is power but the hardwar e does not see m to be functioning properly, verify the correct settin g of the AC vo ltage
selector swit ch. ( S ee Chapter 3.)
●
If t here is an ob vious problem with one or m ore ha rdw are
components, go to Chapter 3.
●
If the node appears to boot correctly but there is a communication problem with an async terminal, go to
"

Review in g Boot Messages
As an FRX6000 boots, screen information tracks the loading of
cards, verifies configurati on file format, and displays any errors.
This data is displayed only until the FRX6000 software is running;
however, it is save d in a file named BOOTRP T.TXT , an d the op erator
can later display it in a report. Th is can b e used as a tool to verify that
startu p of the n ode proceed ed with out errors , or to remi nd the u ser of
the number and types of RLPs in the node. If th ere is an error
reported, the data may aid in fixing the problem.
I f a node is shut down, then re booted , t he exist ing BOOTRPT.TX T
file w ill be renam ed BOOTBAK.TXT, and a n ew BOOTRPT.TXT will
be creat ed. B OOTR PT.TXT and BOOTBAK.TXT can be u sed as
follows:
1. Display and re vi ew the data from the “c urre nt ” boot of the node .
2. Addr ess any report ed problems.
3. Re-boot the node. (This copies the previous boot data to a
backup file.)
4. Display the new boot data, and compare it to the previous dat a.
This will show whether the problem was fixed . Also, a problem
tha t occurred during the previou s boot-up will often be cleared
up by re-booting.
To display the data f rom the curren t b oot-u p, press
Menu (or

Boot Messag es
Ma ny boot messa ges are “normal ” messages, an d are desc ribed here
simply for information. Others are err or messages, and include recomm ended actio n. Af ter takin g the reco mmended actio n for an error
message, reboot the node. If the problem has not been corrected,
contact Cabletron Systems Technical Support at:
Phone: 603-332-9400
FAX: 603-337-3075
E-mail: support@ctron.com.
Boot messages are listed below in alph abetical order.
Boot Time: nn/nn/19nn–nn:nn:nn
Meaning : This is the date and time of the current boot-up.
Action: None.

An FRX6000 has 1 MB of me mory, but onl y the
640 KB of base memory is needed to load and run
the software. If one of these messages is displa yed,
some of that base memory is faulty.
Actio n: Check all the installed memory for proper seatin g.
If it is all securely installed, replace each module
and r eboot, one at a time.
