POWERING UP THE DD1500 SYSTEM

It is recommended that the following power up procedure is observed when turning the
system on:
First, turn on any disk drives that may be connected to the system. Next, turn on the
DD1500a ADC/DAC unit(s). Next, turn on the DD1500m. The DD1500m will 'talk to' the
disk drives and you will see some disk activity as it does so. When this has settled down,
turn on the DL1500. The external monitor screen can be switched on at any time and will
have no effect on the system.
When you power up the DL1500, the DL1500 will go 'looking for' the DD1500m and its
drives. You will see this screen display momentarily:
A few seconds later, you will see this screen:
This indicates that the DL1500 has successfully detected the DD1500m. Approximately
five seconds later when the system is booted, you will see this screen:
If there is a problem, the system will display this screen permanently:
This indicates that the DL1500 cannot find the DD1500m. If this occurs, check that the
DD1500m is actually switched on. If it is, check the AKAINET BNC cable at both ends to
make sure that it is securely connected. If that seems o.k., check the AKAINET
termination switches. They must both be switched ON on both the DL1500 and the
DD1500.
