System Exerciser
The programs on the System Exerciser Cartridges (HP PIN 09845-92041 Revision C and
09845-92042 Revision A) are designed to assure you that the System 45 is operating properly,
and if it is not, to identify problem areas which may exist.Some exercisers require that you
compare what is displayed or printed to what is described in this manual. All of the exercisers
display error messages when errors are detected.
If any exerciser should fail, please note the error and refer to Section 4, Troubleshooting.
The exercisers are divided into three types: internal mainframe. peripheral, and interface. The
internal mainframe exercisers should be run first to exercise the System 45 mainframe thor-
oughly before running any of the external peripheral or interface exercisers. Refer to the
appropriate chapter of this handbook for interface and peripheral exercisers.

Turn-On Self Test
When the 9845 is turned on, a self test occurs. The processors go through a test routine,
if
successful, the 9845 will beep at least once. The numbers of beeps isn't important. The proces-
sors also check to see the type of CRT they'll send display data to, and determine which
processor is PPU/LPU. A CRT must be attached for this processor 10 routine to finish, if none is
connected, the processors hang up, the 9845 appears dead.
