LOADABLE DIAGNOSTICS
Loadable Diagnostics are on the Diag-
nostic Diskette. They include:
• MAP Diagnostic Integration (MDI)
•
Utilities
• System Exerciser
• Load Program Diskette.
Entry into these diagnostics is by
loading the diagnostic diskette. An
interface to the loadable diagnostics
is provided through the keyboard and
display.
The diagnostic diskette program can be
loaded only after an IPL caused by a
power on
reset or a soft IPL. The
soft IPL can occur only when the TASK
SELECTION Menu is displayed. To cause
a soft IPL when the TASK SELECTION
Menu is displayed:
•
•
Remove all diskettes from the
Diskette Unit.
While holding the CONTROL KEY (Po-
sition 3) down, press and release
the RETURN KEY.
• Press ENTER.
This function is used when the custom-
er/user has a program loaded and the
diagnostic diskette needs to be loaded
without turning the machine off. When
the diagnostic diskette is loaded, the
program loads, and the FUNCTION
SELECTION Menu is displayed. The
diagnostic display follows much the
same format as the operator's display.
A Loadable Diagnostics flowchart is
shown in Figure 9-10.
