Chapter 2. System Training

Booting Up the System – SuperDOS

The term “booting up the system” simply means turning on the CPU. It is taken

from the phrase “pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps”. It starts a process

which automatically checks the computer’s memory, sets all standard defaults and

comes to the password screen on the system monitor and peripheral terminals.

There are 2 methods of booting up the system, a “cold” boot and a “warm” boot.

“Cold” Boot (aka “hard” boot)

All users should be signed off the system before performing a cold boot.

Make sure the system monitor is also signed off and is displaying the password

screen.

Turn off the power switch to the CPU (the “red” or “white” switch). This is not the

power switch to the system monitor. It is the power switch to the main computer

system.

Allow the machine to come to complete silence. Fans, spinning disks, etc. must be

fully disengaged.

Turn on the power switch to the CPU. Wait while the diagnostics take place

automatically.

The computer displays:

Operating system to Boot -- SuperDOS, DOS
Enter S, D, or #: S

Enter

and press

Enter

(or merely press

Enter

to accept the displayed

) to

access the SuperDOS partition (area) which contains the Dimensions system. On

rare occasions you might boot to the DOS partition--only if directed by Dimensions

support or if you wish to access a program running under DOS. If no response is

made within 10 seconds, the computer automatically boots to the SuperDOS

system, taking the displayed response.

The boot process is completed after the system monitor displays the password

screen. See the next section, PASSWORDS - SuperDOS.

“Warm” Boot (aka “soft” boot)

The same conditions apply as in the cold boot. All users should be signed off the

system before performing a warm boot.

At the system monitor, sign on with a level 7 password (obtained from the

Implementation Specialist or system manager).

At the SuperDOS prompt (

), enter

boot

reboot

and press

Enter
