Coldstart 7021/7152 Tape Controller from Card Reader
The following steps summarize the procedures necessary to
coldstart a 7021 or 7152 tape controller from a card
reader. Use this as a checklist during coldstart. Ensure
that the tape unit on which the deadstart tape is to be
mounted and the card reader are on different channels.
The card reader must be on a channel without a PP (for
example, channel 12 or 13).

Cold.tort 7152 Tope Controller from Tope Unit
I
The following steps summarize the procedures necessary to
coldstart a 7152 tape controller from a 669 tape unit.
(Coldstart from a 667 tape unit is not possible.) Use this as
a checklist during coldstart. Ensure that the 669 tape unit
is set to a unit number between 10 and 17. The unit must
be on a channel without a PP (for example, channel 12 or
13).
1. Mount the controlware tape on the tape unit to
be specified on the deadstart panel (refer to
appendix D for operating instructions).
a. Ensure that write enable ring is not on reel.
b. Mount the tape and ready the unit.
2. Set the deadstart panel for a coldstart from tape
unit (refer to figure 2-4). Set MODE switch to
LOAD.
3. Press the deadstart swi tch. No display appears
on the console. Unloading of the controlware
tape indicates the controlware has been loaded
successfully.
4. Perform warmstart to complete the deadstart
operation.
COLDSTART OF DISK CONTROLLERS FOR 844 OR
885 DISK UN ITS
Coldstart is necessary when deadstarting from 884 or 885
disk units if the controlware has not yet been loaded to the
controller. The coldstart procedure contains a special
program that reads the disk controller control ware, loads it
to the controller, and then loads the deadstart file.
The following procedure, Coldstart 7054/7154/7152/7155
Disk Controller from Card Reader, can be used to load all
disk controllers. If the maintenence software library (MSL)
is available at your si te, the next procedure, Coldstart
7152/7155 Disk Controller from Disk Unit, can be used to
load the 7152 disk controller and the 7155 disk controller.
Use the warmstart procedure once the controlware has
been loaded and is functioning properly.· Following
coldstart from a card reader, the system loads the
deadstart tape automatically, and warmstart is used for
subsequent deadstarts only.
It is advisable to reset the deadstart panel (refer to Setting
the Deadstart Panel) for a warmstart immediately after a
coldstart if the controlware has been loaded successfully.
After initial loading of the controlware, there is no reason
to perform a colds tart again if the disk subsystem is
operating correctly.
