SYSTEM RESET
This.feature allows you to stop all system activity, and it has
an
effect
similar
to
switching the power off and back on again, but
is
less stress-
ing to power supply electronics. Executing a system reset returns
ttw
system to its initial status. Any work
in
progress is lost when a system
reset is executed, so this facility should be used with care.
To
reduce
the possibility of accidentaly executing a System Reset a three-key com-
bination is used, and all three keys have to be pressed together.
The key combination for System Reset
is
CTRL
ALT
DEL
STARTING THE SYSTEM
This section describes how to power up the system, and what the
system does during the power-up sequence.
POWER UP
1. Ensure that the power switch on the rear of the system is
in
the
OFF position.
2. Plug the basic module into the power outlet.
3.
Find the video display's brightness control and, as you face the
screen, turn it
to
full intensity, all the way to the right.
4. Remove any diskette that may have been left
in
a
dr
i
ve
.
5. Push the power switch to the ON position.
AUTODIAGNOSTICS
When the system
is
turned on, it executes a series of tests to check
that the basic components of the system are functioning correctly. This
series of tests is referred to as autodiagnostics.
The time taken by these tests depends on the configuration of the
system.
As
a general rule, the larger the memory installed
in
the system,
the longer the tests will take to complete.
