Startup
K2vx Boot Loader
2-8
While the K2vx is installing the Þle into Flash ROM, the top line of the display will gradually
Þll to indicate the progress of the operation. Note that operating system Þles and ROM object
Þles are of different formats. If you try to install a Þle using the incorrect menu option, the
K2vx will think the Þle is corrupt and will refuse to install it into Flash ROM. If this happens,
simply choose the correct menu option from the Boot Loader's main menu, and repeat the
installation.
If there is a problem accessing the drive or installing the Þle, an error message will be
displayed. At this point, you can (1) abort the operation with the Abort soft button and return
to the menu, (2) press the Retry button to try the operation again, or (3) choose another device
or Þle by pressing the Choose button.
Run System
The "Run System" option executes the engine software. When this option is invoked, the
operating system and ROM setups are checked for integrity. If either does not appear to be
installed, a message will be displayed explaining this. If this happens, you can (1) double press
the Run Anyhow soft buttons and be given a chance to try to run the system anyhow, knowing
that the machine might crash, (2) install the uninstalled portion with the Instal button, or (3)
return to the menu by using the Menu button. If you do the latter, the menu will be displayed
with the "Load System" or "Load Setups" option highlighted as appropriate.
Hard Reset
The "Hard Reset" option causes all user RAM to be erased. When you select this option, a strict
warning message is displayed. You must press the up and down cursor keys simultaneously to
actually erase the RAM. If you push any other button or turn the data wheel, the operation is
aborted, and the menu is displayed with the "Run System" option highlighted. Otherwise, the
RAM will be marked for re-initialization, and a message declaring this fact will appear prior to
return to the menu. When the menu reappears, it will have the "Run System" option
highlighted.
Run Diags
The "Run Diags" option executes the diagnostics that are loaded with the system. When you
choose "Run Diags", the K2vx checks its operating system for integrity. If it does not appear to
be installed, a message will be displayed explaining this. If this happens, you can (1) double
press the Run Anyhow soft buttons and be given a chance to try to run the diagnostics anyhow,
knowing that the machine might crash, (2) install the operating system with the Instal button,
or (3) return to the menu by using the Menu button. If you do the latter, the menu will be
displayed with the "Load System" or "Load Setups" option highlighted as appropriate. Some
diagnostic tests erase the non-volatile user RAM, and you will be warned of this fact before
continuing.
Restart your K2vx to leave the diagnostics and return to regular operation.
Fixed Diags
The "Fixed Diags" option executes the diagnostics that are contained in the boot block. Some
diagnostic tests erase the non-volatile user RAM, and you will be warned of this fact before
continuing.
Restart your K2vx to leave the diagnostics and return to regular operation.
