Find of the day

Today I hauled in something that I have no experience whatsoever with,
but that I'm sure most people in classiccmp own: a microvax II.
I don't know if it works, or how to hook a terminal to it to
test it. Here's what I've been able to gather:

Cards:

Slot description
1 CPU? it has two interesting-looking chips:
      1: LSILIA 0485, 21-23413-01, DC379, TAC 8546
      2: LSILIA 0486, 21-23389-01, DC379, CAC 8544
      This is connected to a DB9M in the back panel (console goes here?
      what is the pinout? what is the funny-labeled rotary switch next to
      it?)

2 nemonix memory board, holds 56 TC511000AP-10 chips

3 dec memory board, holds 144 41256-212141302 chips

4 dec board, some labels are: LPWR M94V-1 25787, and "M7516" in the
      extraction handle; connected to a DB15F in the back panel

5 dec board, (disk controller?), reads M7555 in the extraction handle,
      connected to what seems to be an older RLL hard drive


Hard drive: RD53-A rev A

label in the back panel:

Model: 630QB-A2

product variation: changed from 630QB-A2 to DH630Q4E2 by WFD.


So what exactly is this beast and how can I test if it works?

Best regards,

Carlos.
