RETURN
When the installation finishes, verify that a valid initialization file and monitor file are present, then push
the reset button on the front of the computer. The computer should boot, and you should see the system
initialization file commands on the operator terminal screen, as described above.
THE WARM BOOT MONITOR
The warm boot monitor is used in case of an emergency, when the computer cannot find the system
software files it needs to boot from on the hard disk.
As you become more familiar with your computer, we strongly recommend you create several warm
boot tapes. In addition, if you ever change the configuration of your computer, you will almost certainly
want to re-generate all new warm boot tapes.
Use the WRMGEN program to generate a warm boot monitor, and the appropriate backup command to
place the monitor onto a tape or a diskette. See the AMOS User's Guide and the System Commands
Reference Manual for details on these procedures.
TURNING THE COMPUTER OFF
You need to turn off the computer whenever:
•
You add to, or modify, the circuit board configuration.
•
You move the computer or servicing is required.
•
Add to, or remove, external SCSI devices.
To turn off the computer always follow these steps:
1. Make sure all users have exited all programs and are logged off the computer.
2. Remove any backup media (such as diskettes) from the computer.
3. Turn off all external devices such as printers and terminals.
4. Press the AC power button on the front panel.
