Exactly what sort of VAXstations? There are several different kinds; one:
http://gunkies.org/wiki/VAXstation_100
doesn't even include a VAX; it's just a branding deal from DEC Marketing.
Start with finding out exactly which kind(s) of VAXstation you have.

Hello Everyone,
Our local Hackroom acquired some VAX Station machines. The problem is, we
have absolutely no docs or knowledge how to run the machine or how to test
if it is working properly. Any help would be appreciated
All best,

Bitsavers in your friends: https://archive.org/details/dec-manuals
A small suggestion .. you might go to the Open SIMH
<https://streaklinks.com/BZ27wznPz3XXgX6LPQzswmxY/https%3A%2F%2Fopensimh.org>
website,
and you'll find several pointers to tutorials. The VAXStation is one of
the systems that SIMH can emulate, so you might want to practice a bit on
virtual hardware, which will be less fragile and easier to start over if
you make an error.
