3 Installation procedure

3.1 Loading procedure – stand alone

The machine must be in STOP. Press MASTER CLEAR and type 1560& on the console.

If autoload is not disabled (see description of FLOPPY-MON-H), TPE-MONITOR will start up and give the prompt:

TPE>

Manual loading:

FLOPPY-MON-H02
*LOAD TPE-MON-100

When TPE-MONITOR is started, use the command LOAD-PROGRAM to load the desired program:

TPE>LOAD-PROGRAM <program name>

or just:

TPE><program name>

The program is loaded if no error messages appear.

To list the programs available on diskette, use the command LIST-FILES:

TPE>LIST-FILES <file-name>

3.2 Online installation

The TPE-MONITOR can execute under SINTRAN in different modes.

Installation on-line:

  1. Log in under the user where you want to execute the programs.
  2. Place the floppy diskette in floppy controller 1 unit 0.

  3. Type the command:

    @ENTER-DIRECTORY 210523H FLOPPY-DISC-1 0

  4. Start the TPE-MONITOR with the command:

    @LOAD-BINARY {210523H:FLOPPY-USER}TPE-MON-100-B↵

The TPE-MONITOR now starts and you can load the different test programs by using the command LOAD-PROGRAM.

TPE>LOAD-PROGRAM {210523H:FLOPPY-USER}<program name>

Permanent installation in the system can be done like this:

  1. Log in as user SYSTEM.

  2. Place the floppy diskette in floppy controller 1 unit 0.

  3. Type the command:

    @ENTER-DIRECTORY 210523H FLOPPY-DISC-1 0

  4. Copy the TPE-MONITOR to the disk by the command COPY-FILE

    @COPY-FILE
DESTINATION FILE: "TPE-MON-100-B<rev.>:BPUN"
SOURCE FILE: (210523H:FLOPPY-USER)TPE-MON-100-B<rev.>:BPUN

  5. Dump the TPE-MONITOR by the command DUMP-REENTRANT

    @DUMP-REENTRANT
NAME: TPE-MON-100-B<rev.>
START ADDRESS: 0
RESTART ADDRESS: 20
FILE-NAME:TPE-MON-100-B<rev.>:BPUN

The TPE-MONITOR is now installed. You can start it by typing:

@TPE-MON-100

The test programs can now be started by using the LOAD-PROGRAM command in the TPE-MONITOR.

@TPE-MON-100 <program name>

4 Modifications and errors corrected

4.1 TPE-MON-100-B

Errors corrected:

  1. After power down - power up, the software clock did not start in several minutes.
  2. Error in the UPDAT command's leap year calculation.
  3. Reading of panel clock sometimes failed because of insufficient testing of the panel-processor status bits.

4.2 DISK-MM-B

Errors corrected:

It is now possible to run the program with 32MB memory available for the ND-1X0 (including MPM5 memory).

4.3 CONFIGURATIO-D

Modifications:

Implemented Floppy/SCSI card 3205.

4.4 FLOPPY-STREA-C

Modifications:

  • Implemented Floppy/SCSI card 3205.
  • The filemark test is removed from the program (the test does not work properly because of an interface-controller error).

4.5 POWER-FAIL-A

Errors corrected:

  • Because of the errors in TPE B00 listed above, clock inconsistency was sometimes detected by the power fail test program. This resulted in a fatal error message (error code 100000B) and program abortion.
  • In this revision, clock inconsistency will not result in program abortion.

4.6 SCSI-TV-C

Errors corrected:

It is now possible to run the program with 32MB memory available for the ND-1X0 (including MPM5 memory).

Modifications:

  • New products supported by this version:

    Product Model Description
    NCDCDC 94171-9 WREN IV, 5 1/4" fixed disk
    Exabyte 8200 Gigatape system
    HP 88780 Magtape
  • Runs under SINTRAN (ver. L) / user SYSTEM.
  • Media tests for optical disk are implemented.

5 Errors known but not corrected
