Procedure #3: Powerup/Reset
A.If the computer is already turned on, skip to Step B. To turn on the computer,
follow the instructions in Chapter 2. Remember—DO NOT hold in the reset button
while you turn on the computer or you will enable the self test.
The computer should now boot. Skip down to C, below, for instructions on how to
tell if the computer is up.
B.To reset the computer:
1.Before you reset the computer, make sure everybody is at AMOS command
level— they see the AMOS prompt, usually a dot. If you reset while people
are working on the computer, they will lose whatever they were in the middle
of. If any files are being written or transferred to the disks, wait until that
process is finished— if you reset while data is being written to the disk, you
might damage the data.
If anyone has files open, and cannot exit the program because his or her
terminal is locked up, go ahead and reset the computer. Then, after you are
up and running, run DSKANA on the disk where the file resides to check for
disk errors. See Chapter 5 for instructions on using DSKANA.
2.Now, push the reset button.
C.Check to see if the computer is up. If you see the system initialization command
file displayed on the operator terminal, and the last command is MEMORY 0, the
computer has booted.
To make sure, type the following command:
SYSTAT
RETURN
Your terminal should display system status information.
If MEMORY 0 was the last command in the system initialization command file
and the SYSTAT command works, the computer booted successfully, and you
can return to the procedure you are performing or to the next procedure on your
checklist.
D.If the computer did not boot successfully, try turn the computer off and back on
again:
1.If your computer has a diskette drive, remove any diskette in the drive.
2.Turn off the power to any terminals, printers, and other peripheral devices
connected to the computer.
