5.5OPERATIONAL NOTES
Under normal operating conditions, the RUN light on AM-3000M and AM-3000 VME
computers (without Roadrunner hardware installed) will remain lit at all times. With the
Roadrunner hardware installed and the system booted, you’ll notice the RUN light on
your computer’s front panel may not be lit. This is because the Roadrunner hardware
uses the RUN light as an
activity
light. During periods of no activity the RUN light on the
front panel will go out.
When your computer boots, a number of status codes are displayed on the computer’s
front panel. The following tables show the codes generated by the AMOS monitor, as
well as the codes generated by the boot PROMS.
For the tables on the following pages, the first digit of many status codes is shown as
"x". This digit is either 2 or 3, and identifies the device the computer is attempting to
boot from:
2 = The alternate boot device.
3 = The primary boot device.
If you have an alternate boot device selected, the first few status codes will always
begin with 2 since the computer checks the alternate device first. If there is a bootable
tape or floppy diskette in the alternate boot device, the first digit of the status codes
remains 2. If there is no bootable medium in the alternate device, the computer boots
from the primary device and the first digit of the status codes changes to 3.
