This section familiarizes you with the System 6300's various controls,
switches,
and indicators so that you may operate your system. This section shows you
how
to
load and unload a floppy diskette in case you need
to
move data or
software
programs onto or
off your
system.
In this section we assume that the installation of the System 6300 hardware
and
the operating system software has already been completed. Because we
assume
the installation of the hardware has been completed, this section does not
re-
identify the system's cables and connectors.
If you
have to reconnect a
loose
connection, either go back
to
Section 2
for
installation instructions or look
at
Appendix B of this manual to identify a particular connector and
its
function.
IDENTIFYING COMPONENTS, CONTROLS, SWITCHES, AND
INDICATORS
The
Processing
Unit
The various switches, and indicators for the System 6300 processing unit.
are
located
on the rear of the unit where the power-cord connector
is
located.
See
Figure
3-1.
The processing unit has the following switches and indicators:
o
The
I/O
Switch (the
ON/OFF switch):
Use
this switch to turn the
processing
unit's power on and off.
o
The Sfatus
Indicators
(also
known
as
LEDs):
These
five indicators
indicate
the status of the processing unit
as
it
goes
through the "boot"
procedure.
(The
boot procedure
is
that part of powering-up when the
processing
unit
loads
in
its
operating
system.)
The number 2 indicator lights when
the
processing
unit
is
powered
on.
o
The
RESET
Switch: You
enable
this switch by pressing down until you
hear it activate. Use this switch to restart the processing unit
if it
has been
shut down. Also. you can use this switch to boot the processing unit, once
you have gone through the initial power-up of the
system.
NOTE:
Also located on the lower left rear of the processing unit are the
processing
unit's power requirements. The processing unit's power requirements
should match your electrical outlet's power output.
If your
unit's power
requirements do not match your outlet's output, call your Field Engineer.
