Abstract

As the Series/1 is used in more complex, unattended, or critical applications, users of the product cannot tolerate the mean time to repair of the current field service support. Long waits for technicians to arrive, troubleshoot the system, and repair or replace parts are no longer acceptable. This thesis presents the system architecture and functional capabilities of a maintenance processor for the Series/1. The maintenance processor designed herein can be used as the focal point of most system support activities. This approach has been used in mainframe systems for some time but has not, in the past, been deemed feasible for smaller systerns such as the Series/1. This effort demonstrates the feasibility of a maintenance processor in such systems, resulting in a simplification of hardware and software while providing a significant improvement in total system reliability, availability, and serviceability.
