Service manual

As the system is being reset the user must also observe the link LEDS on each transputer
card. None of these LEDS should flash at the point the cards are being reset.
The Link Topology indicates how the link network is constructed. On the transputer network
link 0 is always the input to the transputer and link 1, 2 or 3 are outputs. Therefore, link 0 of a
particular transputer is usually connected to link 1 of the previous transputer in the chain.
If link activity on reset is observed on the first transputer in a cardframe then, as earlier with
the reset path, this can be caused by either the Tranlink cable that connects both card frames
or possibly the internal link cables that are involved.
Once the user has established that the system has good PSUs a good continuous reset path
and no link activity on any of the transputer cards upon reset we can progress onto the main
boot sequence.
