NT6D80 MSDL card

Cause: The MSDL card is not installed or is unable to respond to the
messages from the system.

Action:

Check the MSDL messages on the console and take the action
recommended. Refer to Software Input/Output Reference —

Verify that the address switches on the MSDL are set correctly.

SYSTEM DISABLED—SELF-TESTING

Cause: The MSDL card has reset itself or the system has reset the card to
perform self-tests. Self-tests are in progress.

Action:

Wait until self-tests are completed. Under some circumstances, the
self-tests may take up to 6 minutes to complete.

Take the action described in the appropriate section below
("SYSTEM DISABLED—SELF-TESTS PASSED" or "SYSTEM
DISABLED—SELF-TESTS FAILED").

SYSTEM DISABLED—SELF-TESTS PASSED

Cause: The MSDL card passed self-tests. The system automatically
downloads the MSDL base code, if needed, and attempts to enable the
card using autorecovery. If a diagnostic program (overlay) is active, the
downloading of the MSDL base code occurs later.

Action:

Wait to see if the system enables the card immediately. If the
MSDL is enabled, no further action is necessary.

If the MSDL base code download fails five times, autorecovery
stops. The following appears in response to the STAT MSDL x
command;
