POWERUP
a. IMPORTANT: Before powering it up, make sure your mainframe is set for the
local line voltage (nominal 110 or 220 V-AC). Check the Voltage Selector
Switch on the rear panel. If you need to change the voltage setting, see Sec-
tion 1.A.3 of the
System 10 Guidebook.
b.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the EEPROM Write Protect Switch is OFF (downward
position) before you power up your mainframe and before you turn it off. You
should always take this precaution in order to avoid sporadic writes to the
EEPROM and other possible EEPROM problems.
c. Plug the power cord supplied with your mainframe into the rear-panel AC
Power Connector. Plug the other end of the cord into your primary power
source.*
d. Turn on the mainframe by depressing the top half of the rear-panel ON/OFF
switch. The four front-panel System Status Indicators labelled
ERR, CHR,
MNE, and RET should all light for about one second, and then go off, to verify
proper system powerup. If your mainframe has an integral multichannel LCD
or VFD display, it will normally display Page Format No. 1 (Channels 1 through
12 with legends of “MVV”) when first powered up. The display “billboard”—
whether on the mainframe or a connected 10P80D keyboard—will show your
company’s name, or other prespecified alphanumeric “logo.”
