They
identify
problems
by
checking the hardware from the most

SLE UTH 3000
SLEUTH 3000 is a stand-alone utility written in SPL/3000.
It
is
designed
to give Customer Engineers the capability of generating
unique I/O test programs that run under
the
control
of
SLEUTH
3000.
These programs allow isolation of I/O problems
and
ease
the troubleshooting of these problems.
SLEUTH 3000 has the abil-
ity to run up to five different types of I/O devices
concurrent-
ly.
It
can
also
wr i te
and
e xecu te SIO programs,
s tore and
restore
programs
on
magnetic
tape,
and
edit
the
programs.
Peripheral
devices
that
do not have on-line and/or stand-alone
verification programs require that SLEUTH 3000 programs be
writ-
ten
to test these devices.
For additional information, refer to
the Stand-Alone SLEUTH Diagnostic D411A,
manual part no.

SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTING AND REPAIR
The HP 3000
Series III
CE Handbook,
part no.
30000-90172 con-
tains system troubleshooting procedures that are designed to iso-
late malfunctions
to specific
functional areas
of the
system.
Repair
of a defective functional area is usually accomplished by
replacing the defective PCA.
Only the main memory PCA's are re-
paired to the component level.
In order
to run the available
diagnostic and
verification pro-
grams
and to be able to perform the
system troubleshooting pro-
cedures,
it is mandatory that Customer Engineers know how to use
both
the System
Control
Panel and the
Maintenance Panel.
De-
tailed information on how to use these panels and "hands-on"
ex-
perience
will be obtained while attending the
hardware training
course.
For reference purposes, the panels are described in par-
agraphs 3-7 and 3-8.
3-7. SYSTEM CONTROL PANEL
The System Cbntrol Panel (figure 3-1) is located at the top front
of the
CPU Equipment Bay and
provides the switches and lamps re-
quired to perform the following operations:
a.
Cold load and run diagnostics.
b.
Load and run user programs.
c.
Halt programs.
d.
