HP 250 - Chapter 2: System Start-Up; Loading from an Integrated Storage Unit; Loading from the Cartridge Tape Drive

-------~--2--
System Start-up
After a Hewlett-Packard Customer Engineer has installed your HP
250 system, it is ready to operate.
Starting up (or loading) your system can be compared to starting
an automobile. Your car must have fuel in it before you can suc-
cessfully start it by turning the ignition key. In the same way,
your HP 250 must have a version of the system software available.
This system software may be stored on a fixed disc or on a remov-
able medium such as a tape cartridge or flexible disc. It is the
"fuel" required to start your system.
Once you have successfully started your system up, turn it off
only when you are sure that no other task will be affected. For
example, you may have completed your work and are now ready to
leave the office for the day. If you shut any part of the system
down (including a disc drive), you can affect work being done by
another person.
Loading From an Integrated Storage Unit
An Integrated Storage Unit consists of two different storage
devices - a cartridge tape drive and a disc (HP 7908, 7911, or
7912). When your system first arrives, you can start it from a
tape cartridge only. Once you have successfully started the
system using a tape, you can then run the ROUTIL Utility Program
to copy all.files on a tape over to the disc; doing this allows
you to start your system from either a tape cartridge or the
disc. See the HP 250 System Utilities Manual (45260-90061) for
information on the ROUTIL Utility Program.
Loading from the Cartridge Tape Drive
The following is the procedure for loading your HP 250 system
from the cartridge tape drive.
1. Turn the Integrated Storage Unit power switch to the ON posi-
t ion.
