By default, the CEJ/MEJ option is logically enabled.
If
there is no CEJ/MEJ switch or if the CEJ/MEJ switch is
physically set to the disable position on the deadstart
panel, and you do not logically disable it via the *H*
display (refer to Operator Intervention
a
Option later in
this section), the following error message display results
after the final CR is pressed for the CTI options.
CEJ/MEJ OPTION NOT ENABLED
FOR CEJ/MEJ USAGE, ENABLE SWITCH
ON DEADSTART PANEL AND DEADSTART
(CR) FOR NON CEJ/MEJ USAGE
If
you wish to use the CEJ/MEJ option, enable the switch
on the deadstart panel and deadstart again. Press CR if
you do not want to use
th~
CJ!:J/MEJ option.
This display appears also if there
is
a hardware failure of
the CEJ/MEJ switch and it has not been logically disabled.

Panel settings for coldstart of tape and disk controllers are
described in the next two subsections. A later subsection
describes the panel settings for word 13 of'the deadstart
panel.
PANEL SETIINGS FOR COLDSTART OF CONTROLLER

Panel Settings for Coldstart of 7021/7152 Tape Controller
from Card Reader
I
The specific function of the deadstart program during
coldstart from a card reader is as follows:
•
Identifies the controller and channel number used
to access
the card reader from
which the
controlware is to be read.
Also specifies the
controller, channel, and unit number of the tape
unit on which the deadstart tape is mounted.
•
Reads the controlware card deck. The function of
this
deck
is
to
load
the
tape
controller.
Processing of the deadstart tape according to the
options specified on the deadstart panel is then
initiated.
The equipment necessary for the devices used during
coldstart,is identified by setting the switches shown .in the
unshaded area of the deadstart panel illustra ted in figure.
2-3.
This includes the channel number and controller
associated with the card reader and the channel, controller,
and unit number of the tape unit.
The tape unit on which the deadstart tape is mounted and
the card reader must be on different channels. The card
reader must be on a channel without a PP (for example,
channel 12 or 13). Refer to appendix H to determine the
channels without a PP at your site.

The numbers are entered in binary form; each switch
represents one bit in a 12-bit PP instruction word.
Refer to Setting Word 13 later in this section for detailedl
information on word 13 parameters.
In general, you should reset the deadstart panel for a
warmstart immediately after a coldstart from a card
reader if the controlware has been loaded successfully. If
, the tape subsystem is functioning properly, there is no need
to perform another coldstart after initial loading of the
controlware.

In
many cases, the range of the third octal digit
is
restricted by the setting of the 2 5 (and sometimes 24) bit.
tt The instruction for setting the bits represented by these parameters are given in Setting Word 13.
