To install the system software from a streaming tape to a new computer, you need to:
1.Make sure power to the computer is turned on. Check that the boot ID switches
are set to streaming tape. See "Verifying the Boot ID Switch Settings" earlier in
this chapter for details, or the CMOS setup procedure for Eagle 550 systems.
2.Insert the warm boot tape into the tape drive.
3.Press the reset button on the front panel of the computer.
4.When the following message and cursor appear on the screen about a half minute
later, it means the computer booted successfully from the warm boot tape.

5.Remove the warm boot tape. Insert the system software release tape. Transfer
data from the tape onto the disk with this command:
MTURES DSK0:=ALL:[]
RETURN
When the installation finishes, verify that a valid Initialization file and monitor file is
present, then push the reset button on the front of the computer. The computer should
boot, and you should see the system initialization file commands on the operator
terminal screen, as described above.
The Warm Boot Monitor
The warm boot monitor is used in case of an emergency, when the computer cannot
find the system software files it needs to boot from on the hard disk.
As you become more familiar with your computer, we strongly recommend you create
several warm boot tapes. In addition, if you ever change the configuration of your
computer, you will almost certainly want to generate all new warm boot tapes.
Use the WRMGEN program to generate a warm boot monitor, and the appropriate
backup command to place the monitor onto a tape. See the
AMOS User’s Guide and
the
System Commands Reference Manual for details on these procedures.
TURNING THE COMPUTER OFF
You need to turn off the computer whenever:
You add to, or modify, the circuit board configuration.
You move the computer or servicing is required.
