hard disk drive configuration
The SCSI IDs for hard disk drives are hard-wired into the SCA Ultra2 Wide LVD SCSI
interfaces in the backplane of the two disk bays within the HP workstation c-class. Hence,
SCSI IDs do not need to be set for the hard disk drives (up to two) installed in these
workstations. From top to bottom, the pre-set SCSI IDs for hard disk drives are: 6 and 5.
Similarly, no jumpers are installed at the factory, nor is any jumper installation required
at the customer’s site, on either of the hard disk drive models that are supported with the
c-class workstations. Both hard disk drive models may be installed into these
workstations. See the section titled “hard disk drive” on page 134 for details on installing
hard disk drives.
NOTE
There must ALWAYS be a terminator at both ends of a SCSI bus. This means
one internal terminator and one external terminator.
Table2-1 lists the default device IDs for internal storage devices. These IDs are the default
IDs for each storage device. If an existing device already uses an ID, select an alternate ID.

Users who wish to achieve both maximum performance and maximum future
capacity are advised to use 256 MB boards exclusively.
See the section titled “DIMM cards” on page 141 for details on installing memory. Also,
note that there is a label on the floor of the workstation’s interior showing the HP
workstation c-class memory loading order.
Use the Boot Console Handler to verify that the workstation recognizes the installed
memory. See “displaying the current memory configuration” on page 175 of this manual.

i/o cards
There are six I/O slots located on the rear panel of the HP workstation c-class. Slots 1
through 4 are full-size PCI slots. Slots 5 and 6 are half-size Peripheral Connect Interface
(PCI) slots. See Figure 2-4. for a brief description of slot capabilities.
Figure 2-4. PCI Card Slot Numbering and Capabilities
To maintain good graphics performance, you should always use slot 2 (SL2) as your
primary graphics card slot and slot 4 (SL4) as your secondary graphics card slot.
NOTE
If you connect your monitor to a different graphics card slot, you will need to
change the graphics path for that monitor. To do this see the section,
“Displaying and Setting the Monitor Type” in Chapter 6, Boot Console
Handler in this document.
See the section titled “i/o cards” on page 106 for details on installing I/O cards.

monitor-type selection
The HP workstation c-class supports the following monitors:
• 19-inch, 1280×1024 color monitor, 75 Hz (A4575A)
• 19-inch, 1600×1200 color monitor, 75 Hz (A4575A)
• 21-inch, 1280×1024 color monitor (stereo capability), 75 Hz (A4576A)
• 21-inch, 1600×1200 color monitor, 75 Hz (A4576A)
The monitor type does not have to change since the workstation is set up to support the
above mentioned monitors. However, if for some reason the monitortype needs to
change, refer to Chapter 6, boot console handler, of this manual.
Note that connection to earlier HP monitors with 15-pin mini-DSub cables can be made
using the A4168A adapter cable shipped with your system miscellaneous kit.
NOTE
NOTE
Unsupported monitors may “lock up” if unable to sync to a scan rate provided
by the workstation.
The HP workstation c-class supports a maximum of four VISUALIZE-EG
graphics cards with four monitors. One, two, three, or four V
ISUALIZE-EG
graphics cards may be installed per workstation.

3troubleshooting
This chapter provides information about isolating a failing component, known as a Field
Replaceable Unit (FRU), in the HP workstation c-class.

troubleshooting
To troubleshoot a HP workstation c-class, you must be familiar with the HP-UX operating
system and be able to start and stop processes. You should also be familiar with the boot
ROM diagnostics, and the Mesa (Support Tools Manager) on-line tests, which we describe
in this chapter.
As a super-user who is troubleshooting a HP-UX system, you should be able to shutdown
and reboot a system, start and stop processes, and examine error logs. You should also be
able to use systems utilities such as ioscan to check device files and configurations,
swlist to show loaded patches and software bundles, and SAM to configure and show
enabled services and configurations. You should also be familiar with STM, the on-line
diagnostics tool. You can view a man page on any of these on-line utilities or commands.
Note any error or status messages, 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 Mesa (Support Tools
Manager) on-line tests.
For a complete description of using ISL diagnostics and using Mesa (Support Tools
Manager), refer to the website URL:

LCD fan failures and warnings
This section provides the failure and warning messages you will see in the LCD if there is
a problem with a fan in the HP workstation c-class.
A chassis code which indicates that a fan has failed (FLT D01n) or is running too slowly
(WRN D02n) within an HP workstation c-class specifies the fan number, n. Table 3-1., “Fan
Numbers and Corresponding Name,” lists the fan numbers and their names.

• The entire system board tray assembly, if it is a turbo cooler fan (that is, a fan mounted
on a PA-8500 microprocessor on the system board)
See Chapter 4 , “field replaceable units,” for the procedures you should follow to remove
and replace these components.

dealing with a boot failure
dealing with a boot failure
To start this workstation from an operating system stored on a device different from the
usual boot device, to boot from a different disk, or to boot from another type of device (such
as DDS tape drive, an alternate hard disk or CD), see the following situations and
examples that use the Boot Console Handler. To access the Boot Console Handler, see
Chapter 6 of this manual.
• To boot from a known device containing a bootable operating system, type the following
at the prompt and press
Main Menu: Enter a command or a menu > boot device
where device is the hardware path to the device, specified in Mnemonic Style Notation
For example, to boot an operating system stored on a DDS-format tape in a drive
located at “scsi.1.0,” go to the Main Menu of the Boot Console Interface and then type
the following command at the prompt and press
Main Menu: Enter a command > boot scsi.1.0
Enter:
Enter:
The operating system on the specified device is used to start the workstation.
• To interact with the Initial System Loader (ISL) before booting the workstation, type
the following at the prompt and press
Enter:
Main Menu: Enter a command or a menu > boot <device>
You are prompted: Interact with ISL (Y or N) > y
Answering yes (y) causes the ISL to be loaded from the specified device. After a short
time, the following prompt appears on the screen:
ISL>
ISL is the program that actually controls the loading of the operating system. By
interacting with ISL, you can choose to load an alternate version of the HP-UX
operating system.
For example, if the usual kernel (/stand/vmunix for HP-UX 10.20) on the root disk
(fwscsi.6.0) has become corrupted, boot the workstation from the backup kernel
(/stand/vmunix.prev for HP-UX 10.20) by typing the following at the ISL> prompt
and press
Enter:
ISL> hpux /stand/vmunix.prev
• To find the location of the bootable operating systems on the various media in the file
system, use the search ipl command.
Chapter 357
troubleshooting
dealing with a boot failure
searching for bootable media
To list all devices that may contain bootable media, go to the Main Menu of the Boot
Console Interface and then type the following at the prompt:
Main Menu: Enter a command or a menu > search ipl
The search may turn up more devices than there are lines on the display. If using a text
terminal, you can control the progress of the search from the terminal’s keyboard by
performing the following steps:
• To hold the display temporarily, press
• To continue the display, press
• To halt the search, press
Ctrl Q
Esc
Ctrl S
These flow-control commands do not work with a bitmapped display, but such a display can
show more than forty lines of text, so they are unnecessary.
To search for devices of just one type that actually contain bootable media, go to the Main
Menu of the Boot Console Interface and then type the following at the prompt:
Main Menu: Enter a command > search ipl device_type
where device_type is one of the following:
• fwscsi is the built-in fast, Ultra2 Wide LVD (Low Voltage Differential) SCSI bus.
• scsi is the built-in single-ended SCSI bus.
• lan is all connections to the built-in LAN.
• ide is the built-in CD-ROM drive.
n
• pci
is an optional SCSI interface in slot numbern.
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.
58Chapter3
troubleshooting
dealing with a boot failure
boot command notations
The boot command supports the following two notations:
• Mnemonic
• Path number
Type help scsi or help lan for more information on the boot path parameters.
Here are examples of mnemonic notation:
• boot with “no parameters” selects the primary boot path in stable storage.
• boot with the alternate or alt parameters selects the alternate boot path in stable
storage.
Here is an example of path number notation:
• boot p1 [Enter] attempts to boot from the second path in a list generated by a previous
search command.
supported boot paths
SCSI devices are bootable when connected to the SCSI port on the system. Diskless
workstations can only boot from the LAN port on the system board. The workstation can
be booted from the CD-ROM for software installation.
ISL environment
The ISL environment provides the means to load the operating system (HP-UX)
environment. The ISL environment also provides an off-line 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 and utilities.
• Provide automatic booting of the HP-UX operating system after power-on or reset.
The ISL program provides a stand-alone environment for loading off-line diagnostic and
utility programs from the LIF directory. The ISL program also provides user commands to
configure the boot parameters into Stable Storage.

selftest failures
selftest failures
Chassis codes are the key to debugging selftest errors. If a failure is found during selftest,
chassis codes are displayed in the LCD. The procedure for using these codes to debug a
failure is as follows:
1. Using Table 3-2., “Chassis Codes for th HP Workstation C-Class,” find the chassis code
listed on the LCD.
2. To get additional information about failures from the Boot Console Handler, use the
Service Menu’s pim, pdt, and ChassisCodes commands.
In the following table, the FRU column shows messages printed on the LCD that refer to
system FRUs. Only FLT codes have FRUs associated with them. Some WRN codes are also
device specific, especially to IODC calls; for example, 8xxx codes. TST and INI codes do not
necessarily correspond to any FRU. All codes are listed in numeric order.

memory failures
The HPworkstation c-class systemrequires MemoryPage Deallocation tobe
implemented. This feature allows the workstation to provide information to the operating
system about memory failures.
The HP-UX operating uses information to map out failing memory areas and continue
normal operation. You can use the command memrpt with the detail switch to obtain
information about the Memory Page Deallocation Table (PDT) as well as single-bit errors
logged by the system.
# /usr/sbin/sysdiag Enter
DUI > logtool Enter
LOGTOOL> memrpt detail Enter
The PDT can also be checked using the pdt command in the Service menu of the Boot
Console Handler (refer to “boot console menus” on page 159).

the following:
• wdiag – tests and verifies the basic functionality of the PA-8500 chip. This tool tests the
CPU, cache, TLB and floating point functions.
• memtest – tests and verifies the memory arrays. If an error is detected, the diagnostic
reports the memory card and its slot number that needs replacement. It also, provides a
map of the memory configuration so that the user can identify the types of memory and
its slot location.
• mapper – identifies the configuration of HPPA systems. It displays path, identification,
and revision information of I/O components, configuration of memory controllers,
processors, co-processors, cache, and TLB, as well as processor board component
revisions and values of various HPPA system identifiers, revisions and capabilities.
