IP 266 Start-Up
8.3 Initializing the IP 266
Before you can use the IP 266, you must first supply it with valid machine data.
You have two options for entering machine data:
• Defining machine data for a newly installed system
• Loading an existing record from a non-volatile storage medium
Entering machine data for a newly installed system
Before putting a new system into operation, you must define your machine data
for that system.
The information presented in Section 8.2 showed you how to compute the
required data on the basis of the drive's technical specifications.
To enter your machine data, you need a programmer and the COM 266 software
package.
Start COM 266 as described in Section 6 and proceed to the "FUNCTION SELECT"
menu. All COM 266 basic functions are invoked from within this menu.
The input of machine data is described in detail in Section 6.4.1.
Loading an existing record from a non-volatile storage medium
Invoke the TRANSFER function in the "FUNCTION SELECT" menu (see Section 6.5)
to load an existing set of machine data.
