Emissions Regulations
Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
The Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. government regulates the radio frequency energy emanated by computing devices through published regulations.
These regulations specify the limits of radio frequency emission to protect radio and
television reception. All HP nodes and peripherals have been tested and comply with
these limits. The FCC regulations also require that computing devices used in the
U.S. display the agency’s label and that the related documentation include the following statement:
NOTICE:This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant
to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses,
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instruction
manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference
in which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at his own expense.
Compliance to these regulations requires the use of shielded cables.
Canadian Department of Communications (CDC)
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emissions
from digital apparatus as set out in the Radio Interference Requirements of the Canadian Department of Communications.
Compliance to these regulations requires the use of shielded cables.

Laser Safety Statement (For U.S.A. Only)
(For workstations that have a CD ROM drive installed.)
The CD ROM mass–storage system is certified as a Class–1 laser product under the
U.S. Department of Health and Human services (DHHS) Radiation Performance
Standard according to the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968.
This means that the mass–storage system does not produce hazardous laser radiation.
Because laser light emitted inside the mass–storage system is completely confined
within protective housings and external covers, the laser beam cannot escape from
the machine during any phase of user operation.

Connectors for EISA, and Optional Graphics
The system has a slot for an optional EISA (Extended Industry Standard Architecture) board or an optional CRX , HCRX , VISUALIZE or CRX–48 graphics board.
EISA
The one–slot EISA I/O port is a superset of ISA (Industry Standard Architecture). It
extends the capabilities of that standard while maintaining compatibility with ISA
expansion boards. EISA provides 32–bit memory addressing and 32–bit data transfers. The EISA slot allows quick and easy integration in heterogeneous networks as
well as simple connections of high–speed, low–cost disks and other peripherals.
Some EISA option boards have external connectors for connecting these devices.
Consult the documentation that accompanies each device for specific information
concerning its use.
Optional Graphics
If the system has an optional graphics board installed, it will have one of the following graphics connectors:
Color graphics card (CRX–24, CRX–24Z, HCRX–8, HCRX–8Z, HCRX–24,
HCRX–24Z , or VISUALIZE graphics) — This device has a D–sub miniature
connector which is connected to the monitor by a cable, as shown in Figure
Figure 1–4.
Graphics interface card (CRX–48Z graphics) — This device is connected by a

Monitor Controls, Connectors, and Indicators
The Power–On LED, when lit, indicates that the monitor has ac power applied. Use
the following controls to adjust the monitor:
The Power–On/Off button turns the monitor’s power on and off.
The Brightness control adjusts the brightness of the display.
The Contrast control adjusts the light–to–dark and dark–to–light contrast of the
display.
The Degauss control demagnetizes the color monitor. Degaussing disperses any
accumulated magnetic charge from the face of the monitor. Magnetic disturbances such as picture distortion or color impurity can be caused by either
moving the monitor from one place to another or swiveling the monitor on its
base. No degauss control exists on the 19–inch grayscale monitor.
Refer to the manual that came with the monitor for detailed information about the
monitor’s controls, connectors, and indicators.
Product Information1–13
Page 27
Keyboards
There are three types of Hewlett–Packard keyboards available for use with the
workstation. They are the following:
ITF Keyboard (Also known as Model # A1099C Keyboard)
PC Keyboard (Also known as the PC–101 (HIL) Keyboard, the “Enhanced
Vectra” Keyboard, and Model # A2205B Keyboard)
AT Keyboard (Industry–standard AT–style keyboard that uses
a mini–DIN, PS/2–style, connector, Model # A4030B)
CAUTION: When connecting a HIL device (such as the ITF key-
board) ensure that the device conforms to the
HP–HIL specification. Devices that are not HP–HIL
compatible but have similar connectors may appear
to be compatible, but will damage the system.
Keyboard Differences
Aside from the obvious difference in the appearance of the ITF and PC/AT keyboards
due to the arrangement of the keys, there is also a difference in the keys and their
output codes. Some keys on one keyboard (the ITF keyboard for example) may not
exist on the other keyboard. These keys generate codes which also may not exist as
output from the other keyboard (or may be generated by a different key). Codes that
are generated when a key is pressed are called keycodes.
Some applications expect to use keycodes generated by keys existing on one of the
keyboards (the ITF keyboard for example). Since the keys do not exist on the other
keyboard (the PC and AT keyboards), an accommodation must be made if the PC/AT
keyboard is to be used. In most cases, it is still possible to use some other key that is
equivalent (generates the same keycode from a different keycap). To do this, it is
necessary to know which keys are equivalent on the two keyboards. Table 1–3
compares the equivalent keys on the ITF and PC/AT keyboards.
NOTICE:Keyboard keys not mentioned in Table 1–3 are the
same on all the keyboards.

Troubleshooting4
This chapter provides information about isolating a failing Field Replaceable Unit
(FRU).
To troubleshoot HP workstations, you must be familiar with the HP–UX operating
system. You must be able to start and stop processes. You should also be familiar
with the Boot ROM Test Mode, ISL diagnostics, and the SupportWave online tests.
For Series 700 systems, note any error or status messages, and then run the power–up
boot ROM diagnostics, known as Self Test. If the Self Test diagnostics fail, replace
the FRU that is indicated. If the tests pass but you still suspect a problem, run the ISL
diagnostics and the SupportWave online tests. Refer to the following sections for
more information about Self Test.
For a complete description on using ISL diagnostics and SupportWave, see the
Precision Architecture RISC HP 9000 Series 700 Diagnostics Manual.

LED Error Codes
This section contains information about the error codes displayed by the LEDs on the
system’s front panel.
If an error occurs during the power–up diagnostics tests, the diagnostics use the front
panel LEDs to display a code for the failing component.
Figure 4–1 shows the location of the system unit’s front panel LEDs. There are nine
LEDs on the front panel. The green LED on the far right indicates that the system is
powered up. The amber LEDs labeled 1 through 8, right to left, indicate system

?) Help
Select from menu:
If no disk devices are listed, then the workstation is failing to communicate
with its disks. Recheck the SCSI connections and try again.
If no devices are listed at all, try alternative methods for booting, such as connecting an external CD–ROM drive.
3.If the search locates a disk, attempt to boot from it by entering the b (boot)
command and a device selection number from the list. For example, if a SCSI
disk is listed as item P0 (as in the example list above), enter the following:
Select from menu: b p0
Return
After a few seconds, the boot messages begin to appear on the screen. You may
hear sounds coming from the disk drive and see a sequence of changing patterns on the LED display.
4.If the workstation still fails to boot, there is either something wrong with the
file system or with the hardware.
Boot Administration Environment
The Boot Console User Interface provides an “autoselect” or “interactive” environment after the power–on sequence. The Boot Console User Interface must be invoked before the Initial Program Loader (IPL) routine. Users do not have to interact
with the interface when the AUTOSELECT mode is enabled.
The Boot Console User Interface executes user–entered commands that perform the
following functions:
Display the state of Autoselect mode using the AUTO command.
Set the state of the Autoselect mode using the AUTOSELECT command with
either the ON or OFF option.
Boot from the primary or alternate boot path or any specified path using the
BOOT command.
Set or display the real–time clock value using the DATE command (this com-
mand is not supported on Model 715/64, 715/80, , 715/100, and 715/100XC
workstations).

mand (this command is not supported on Model 715/64, 715/80, , 715/100, and
715/100XC workstations).
Syntax checking is performed for any supported commands. Error status is displayed
on the console along with any relevant information.
Stable Storage
Stable Storage is non–volatile memory associated with each PA–RISC processor
module. Stable storage is used by the processor (CPU) to store device path information, the state of the boot flags, HPMC error information, and operating system initialization data.

Boot Command Notations
The BOOT command supports the following three notations:
Mnemonic
PA–RISC I/O
Path number
Type help scsi or help lan for more information on the boot path parameters.
Here are examples of mnemonic notation:
BOOT
Return
with “no parameters” selects the primary boot path in stable
storage.
BOOT with the ALTERNATE or ALT parameter selects the alternate boot
attempts to boot from the second path indicated by the

ISL Environment
The ISL environment provides the means to load the operating system (HP–UX)
environment. The ISL environment also provides an offline platform to execute diagnostic and utility programs from a boot device when HP–UX does not load.
The ISL program is the first program loaded into main memory from an external
media (LAN, disk, or tape) and launched by the initial program loader (IPL) routine
during the Boot Administration environment.
The ISL environment provides the following capabilities:
Execute user–entered commands to modify boot device paths and boot options
in stable storage.
Run off–line diagnostic programs (TDIAG, EISADIAG, and IOMAP).
Provide automatic booting of the HP–UX O/S after power–on or reset.
The ISL program provides a standalone environment for loading offline diagnostic
and utility programs from the LIF directory. The ISL program also provides user
commands to configure the boot parameters into Stable Storage.
Invoking the ISL Environment from a SCSI Device

There are several commands available in the ISL environment that allow a user to
obtain information about the boot characteristics of the system or to modify these
characteristics.
display – displays the boot and console paths in Stable Storage and the current
setting of the ISL Boot Flags.
primpath – modifies the primary boot path entry in Stable Storage. The entry
in Stable Storage for the primary boot device begins at byte address 0 and ends
at byte address 31.
altpath – modifies the alternate boot path entry in Stable Storage. The entry for
the alternate boot device begins at byte address 128 and ends at 159.
conspath – modifies the console path entry in Stable Storage. The entry in
Stable Storage for the console device begins at byte address 96 and ends at byte
address 127. The entry for the keyboard and mouse devices begins at byte address 160 and ends at 191.
listautofl or lsautofl – lists the contents of the (HP–UX) autoboot file.
support – boots the Support Tape from the boot device.
readss – displays 4 bytes (one word) from Stable Storage. The readss com-
mand requires a decimal number between 0 and 255 to address four bytes in

Dealing With HPMC (Uncorrectable Error)
The power–on sequence follows this path:
POWER-ON > SELFTEST > CONSOLE PATH > BOOT ADMIN MODE > BOOT
PATH > ISL MODE > HP-UX MODE
When the hardware detects an unrecoverable (HPMC) error in the HP-UX environ-
ment, an error message, referred to as an HP-UX Kernel Tombstone is displayed on
the monitor. The state of the system is written to main memory and the entire contents of main memory is dumped (written) to the swap area on the system disk.
HPMC error information is logged into Stable Storage; this information is referred to
as PIM (Processor Internal Memory). The HPMC error information is available from
the Boot Administration environment using the PIM_INFO command.
To identify the failed FRU(s) after an HPMC, follow these steps:
1.Examine the first line of the data returned from a PIM_INFO command to dis-
play the latest error information from the last TOC, LPMC, or HPMC interruption detected.
2.Compare the values from PIM_INFO command with those shown in Table 4–6
and take the appropriate action.

Note 2For the Model 715/75, replace the PCX-T module. For other models,
replace the Motherboard. See HPMC Caused by a Data Cache Parity Error
for more information.
Note 3While Architected Main Memory space is from 0x00000000 through
0xEFFFFFFF, Model 715 can only use up to 256 MB. With this limitation
any memory address from 0x10000000 through 0xEFFFFFFF is invalid,
and, if given in the System Responder word, the Motherboard should be
(usually) replaced. If the error occurs again, there is a probable Kernel
problem. See HPMC Caused by a Multi-Bit Memory Parity Error for
information on identifying the failed SIMM.

HPMC Caused by a Multi-Bit Memory Parity Error
An HPMC interruption is forced when a multi-bit memory parity error is detected
during a “DMA read” operation of fetching an I/D cache line (32 bytes).
Table 4–7 shows an example of the HPMC error information retrieved from Stable
Storage by the PIM_INFO command during the Boot Administration environment.

Interpreting the Table
The values in the Bus Check and System Responder Address words indicate that a
multi-bit memory parity error was detected by logic in the memory module. Ignore
the value in the System Controller Status word.
The System Responder contains the SPA of the faulty SIMM pair. To determine the
pair, you need to know the following:
The SIMM pair sizes and their locations (for example, 16 MB SIMMs in Pair 1
and 8 MB Simms in Pair 0)

Determining the Faulty SIMM Pair
The address given by the System Responder Address is given as if the memory is
contiguous, even though empty slots are permitted. Memory boards are installed in
pairs of the same memory capacity. The operating system starts mapping memory at
Pair 3, if it exists. In other words, it maps starting with the highest numbered pair
through to the Pair 0. To determine the faulty pair of SIMMs, perform the following
steps.
1.Using Table 4–8, determine the HEX value address range for each SIMM pair
3.Without the actual failed bit number, the failed pair number is as close a deter-
mination as possible. To try to locate the faulty (individual) SIMM, reboot the
system. Turn FASTBOOT OFF at the BOOT_ADMIN prompt, set FASTSIZE
to ALL OF MEMORY (0F), and power cycle again.
If the (destructive) memory selftest locates the faulty SIMM, the corresponding
Chassis Code is shown on the LEDs replace the faulty SIMM, otherwise, replace the SIMM pair identified in this procedure. Return the system state (e.g.,
FASTBOOT) to original condition.

HPMC Caused by a Data Cache Parity Error
An HPMC interruption is forced when a data parity error is detected during a Load
instruction to the memory address space or during a data cache flush operation.
Table 4–9 shows an example of the HPMC error information retrieved from Stable
Storage by the PIM_INFO command during the Boot Administration environment.
The value in the CPU State word indicates that register values and addresses stored
in Stable Storage at the time of the HPMC were saved.
The value on the Cache Check word identifies that logic in the processor module
detected a (data) cache parity error. Ignore the value in the System Controller Status
word.
For Model 715/75, replace the PCX-T module. For any other Model 715, replace the
Motherboard.

Troubleshooting CRX and HCRX Graphics
If the workstation has one of the CRX or HCRX graphics options installed, and there
is no output on the monitor, use the following procedure to troubleshoot the problem:
1.Power off the workstation and the monitor.
2.Make sure that all connectors and cables are fully seated and that the monitor is
connected to the correct connector for the CRX or HCRX graphics option. See
Chapter 1 of this manual for monitor connections.
3.Power on the monitor and the workstation.
If, after a few minutes, there is still no output on the monitor, continue to
Step 4.
4.Power off the workstation and the monitor.
5.Disconnect the monitor and connect it to the built–in graphics connector as
shown in Chapter 1 of this manual.
6.If the workstation is a Model 715/C, 715/33, 715/50, or 715/75, check the
workstation’s graphics configuration switches, as shown in Chapter 3 of this
manual, to ensure that the graphics switches are set correctly for the monitor.
7.Power on the monitor and the workstation. Observe the LED codes as they are
displayed on the front of the system unit.
8.After the self tests have begun, when LED indicators number 8 and 4 are lit
(and all other amber LEDs are off), press the TOC switch on the front of the
system unit. (See Chapter 1 of this manual for the TOC switch location.) This
LED pattern indicates that the system is checking the CRX or HCRX graphics
for errors. See Figure 4–2.

9.After you press the TOC switch, power off the workstation. Wait a few se-
conds, then power it back on.
If, after a few minutes, you still have nothing displayed on the monitor, the
monitor is defective. Replace the monitor. Otherwise continue with Step 10.
10. Follow the procedures described in the “Configuring the CRX or HCRX
Graphics Options” section in Chapter 3 of this manual to check that the system
is properly set up for the optional graphics.
11. Shut down and power off the workstation and the monitor.
12. Disconnect the monitor and reconnect it to the optional graphics connector.
13. Power on the monitor and the workstation.
If, after a few minutes, you still have nothing displayed on the monitor, the
CRX or HCRX graphics option board is defective and must be replaced.
