Depressing RUN U should cause the RUN in-
dicator to light. If it does not, the problem may be a
failure in the control module, no CLOCK signal, a
burned-out indicator, or a failed CPU.
Another common problem is data bus contention
caused by enabling user-inserted I/O devices or
memory onto the data bus at the wrong time. In
parti<;ular, if extra memory modules have been ad-
ded,
check
that they are wired to the correct Memory
Bank Select signal.

.
So long as CLOCK and dc power (VDD and
CPUPWR) are present at the CPU module, then
TPA and TPB should also be present unless CLEAR-
Nor WAIT-N is asserted.
Pressing LF or CR after RUNU should cause
UT20 to calibrate itself and type out a prompting
asterisk. If the CDS does not respond to UT20
commands, then locating the source of trouble is
beyond the scope of this Manual. In particular, the
troubleshooting of user-designed interfaces is an art.
