SECTION 3 INTERFACE CONECTORS 3.1 1ntertace Connectors Location The SUPER STAR system has seven I/O intertace connectors located on the rear panel as shown in Figure 2-3. Five connectors are 25-pin type OB-25 connectors, which require a type DB-25 mating connector tor intertace to serial peripheral devices. These tive connectors are tor RS-232C compatible serial 1/0 intertace.
Interlace Connectors 3.2.1 Typical Three-Wire lntertace The simplest 1/0 port intertace requires only three ot the serial 1/0 connector be wired. These three wires are: Pin 2-TxD, Pin 3RxD ana Pin 7-Signal Ground. This three-wire contiguration will satisty many serial devices and most terminals. 3.2.2 Four-Wire 1ntertace Some serial devices require a "handshake" signal tor normal protocol. In these cases the tour-wire intertace contiguration will normally work.
Interface Connectors Table 3-2.
Intertace Connectors 3.4 1/0 Port Contigurations The number ot the I/O port connectors that are actually connected (through ribbon cables) to printed circuit boards inside the SUPER QUAD is dependent upon the ~articular contiguration you have selected tor your SUPER STAR system. A CP/M-based single-user SUPER STAR system has tour ot the seven 1/0 port connectors available to the user (see options). These consist ot one parallel port connector and two serial ports (Jl and J2).

SECTION 8 PROBLEM ISOLATION 8.1 Introduction In the unlikely event an apparent maltunction should occur with the SUPER STAR, it will be necessary to isolate the problem to a specitic piece ot hardware or sottware. Otten, determining whether a problem is hardware or sottware-oriented is an easy task. In tact, ,once a sottware package is established and has been working in a system, it can't "tail".
Problem Isolating 8.3 AidS To Troubleshooting (continued) 4. 8.4 Appendix G which provides schematic and/or logic diagrams ot the major components and sub-assemblies whithin the SUPER STAR. Look At The Symptoms The symptom can tell a great deal about where the problem may be tound in the system. As an example, it one particular 5 1/4-inch diskette cannot be read by the SUPER STAR system even though other 5 l/4-inch diskettes can, it is very likely that the disk drive has tailed.
Problem Isolation 8.4 Look At The Symptoms (continued) Table 8-1. Problem Symtpoms Symptom B. SUPER STAR will not boot CP/M 2.2 trom tloppy disk atter second attempt. ~nd Solutions (continued) Possible Cause 1. Diskette loaded into drive wrong. 2. Diskette has been damaged by mishandling. 3. Diskette drive has tSiled. C. SUPER STAR won't boot CP/M 3.~ trom the cartridge. 1. You did not tollow procedures tor booting CP/M 3.0 2. Cartridge has been loaded into hard disk drive improperly.
problem Isolation 8.4 Look At The Symptoms (continued) Table 8-1. Problem Symptoms And Solutions (continued) D. When trying to copy a tloppy diskette to the hard disk drive tixed disk error message is displayed. E. Serial printer won't accept data and give a printout. 1 • The hard disk drive tixed disk was never tormatted. 1 . Read Section 5, Copying 2. You are not using the proper "copy" command tor the media you are trying to copy. 3 • 'l'he directory was never initialized. 2.
problem Isolation ! 8.4 Look At The Symptoms (continued) Table 8-1. Problem Symptoms And Solutions (continued) 2. The CRT intertace cable has been plugged into the wrong connector on the back panel. 3. The SUPER QUAD or SIX circuit board has a problem. 8-5 2. Look at Figure 2-3 tor location ot the terminal connector. 3. Contact the SUPER STAR distributor or tactory representative tor servic instructions.

APPENDIX A CARE AND HANDLING OF DISKETTES AND CARTRIDGE DISK A.l Floppy Diskettes Diskettes must be handled with care. It is very easy to distroy data stored on a diskette or damage the diskette itselt it you are not caretul. Some things to remember when handling diskettes are: 1. Never try to remove the plastic disk trom the sealed cardboard envelope. The disk is surroundsed by a special lubricant and cleaning solution within the cardboard envelope. 2.
APPENDIX A (continued) Care and Handling ot Diskettes and Cartridges (continued) A.2 Cartridge Disks Cartridge disks must be handled with care. It is not as easy to distroy data stored on a cartridge disk as it is a diskette, but it is possible it you are not caretul. Some things to remember when handling cartridges are: 1. Never try to remove the disk trom the sealed plastic cartridge. The disk is surrounded by a special plastic lubricant and cleaning solution within the plastic cartridge. 2.

\, Internal Ribbon and Power Cable Connections Table E-4 identities the pin assignments tor the three power supply cable connectors associated with the SUPER STAR. One cable connector (Jl) connects power to the motherboard. A second cable connector (J2) provides power to the 5 1/4-inch tloppy disk drive assembly. The third cable connector (J3) provides power to the DMA hard disk drive assembly. Table E-4. Power Supply Cable Connector's Pin Assignments.
Internal Ribbon and Power Cable Connections (Continued) E.4 Power Supply ( The power supply is a selt-contained assembly that provides DC voltage tor the SUPER STAR system. The power supply provides + 8 Vdc and both + 16 Vdc and - 16 Vdc to the SUPER STAR motherboard which in turn supplied power to allot the printed circuit boards plugged into the motherboard. The power supply also provides + 12 VdC and + 5 Vdc to the tloppy disk drive assembly and + 5 vac and both + and - 12 vac to the hard disk drive.
