Formatting Diskettes
the data in your current working diskette is corrupt, you can use the
backup copy and still boot the server with the correct parameter settings.
To copy a diskette on a CS/2600, follow this procedure:
1 Connect a terminal to the console port (J0 is the default) on the
communications server's back panel.
2 Configure the terminal to 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no
parity.
These instructions assume the default firmware configuration. If you
have used firmware configuration commands to change the baud rate or
to select a different console port, modify the instructions accordingly.
3 Make sure that there is no diskette in the server's disk drive (Model
CS/2600 only) and that the server cannot use a network boot source (an
RBCS or TFTP/FTP server).
If a diskette is in the disk drive, remove it. If the communications server
is configured to use a network boot source, disconnect it from the
network, or make sure that it is not listed in the boot database of an
RBCS or TFTP/FTP server. To determine whether the server is in the
boot database of an RBCS server, refer to the Remote Boot and
Configuration Services User's Guide.
4 Turn on the unit or, if it is already on, press the reset switch on the front
panel to reboot.
CAUTION: Do not press the hardware interrupt switch in the next step
while the Self Test LED is on. Doing so can corrupt memory or
firmware configurations. The Self Test LED can take up to a minute to
go out.
5 After the Self Test LED has gone out, press the hardware interrupt
switch on the left side panel to enter monitor mode.
The hardware interrupt switch is recessed into the left side panel (as you
face the front panel) and can be reached through the small round hole in
the rear air intake vent.
