5.
The current contents of the CTS’s program memories are erased
and replaced with the validated microcode from the buffer.
CAUTION
Do not power off or reset the CTS during this step. Wait until
the following step (step 6) is finished. The tape will be ejected
when the load process is complete.
If a hardware or power failure occurs during this step, the
CTS may not be able to operate. If this occurs, use the CTS
Monitor program to reload microcode (from a *.BIN file)
through a serial cable attached to the Monitor port. (See the
CTS Monitor User’s Guide for complete instructions.)
6.
When the new microcode has been loaded successfully, the CTS
performs a full power-on reset and self-test (POST). During the
first part of POST, all LEDs will be on. As POST completes, the
top amber LED will stay on and the bottom LED will flash slow
and then fast. The load tape is ejected after approximately 15
seconds into the 32-second self-test.
If the CTS Monitor program is running and the load was
successful, the following message will appear:
L: Load of new code is successful!
If the load fails, the top amber LED will flash. If the CTS Monitor
program is running, the following message will be displayed:
K: Load of new code failed!
If a failure occurs, retry the operation with another tape or use
the CTS Monitor program to reload microcode (from a *.BIN
file) through a serial cable attached to the Monitor port. (See the
CTS Monitor User’s Guide for complete instructions.)
