Zipping the System System Configuration and Operation
If the new CPU card was inserted accidentally, the cold-start can be stopped by removing the
wrong CPU card and replacing it with the correct type of card.
WARNING!
The "Z" command will start the ZIP process. "Zipping" the system deletes all
of the information stored on NV-RAM and resets it. All cards must then be
completely reconfigured.
When you press “
z
”, the system will display the main log-in screen and ask for password
authorization from either the Manager or Operator access level. After you enter the correct
password, the system asks, "OK to Zip the system (y/n)"? Press “
y”
to have the system test
and reinitialize itself. All NVRAM information will be erased from the Interface card, and a
new log-in screen will appear.
3.7 Zipping the System
Figure 3-11 shows a typical Zip Screen, which appears when you press “
z
” in the Test and
Debug Screen.
CAUTION!
The "Z" (Zip) command allows a user logged in under the Operator or higher
password level to reprogram the entire system. Because the options for all
cards in the system will be changed back to their original factory settings, be
sure to thoroughly consider the consequences of "zipping" your system before
doing so.
