To warm boot from the AM-650, the boot PROM in your computer must be of at least a minimum
revision level, as shown:
CPU Board Description PROM Revision
AM-172 Roadrunner 030, used in some
Eagle 200/300s
M00
AM-174 Roadrunner 040, used in Eagle

Not supported
You must use CRT620 to create the warm boot tape. Since you cannot append data onto a streamer tape,
a warm boot tape can contain only the warm boot monitor. You must back up your data onto a separate
tape. For more information about warm booting, see your
System Operator’s Guide
and the WRMGEN
reference sheets in the
System Commands Reference Manual
.
Loading and Unloading Tape Cartridges
To avoid static discharge, always ground yourself by touching the metal chassis before loading or
unloading a tape cartridge.
1. Hold the cartridge with the metal side down. The end of the tape cartridge with the write-protect
switch will enter the drive first.
2. Insert the cartridge into the drive. When the cartridge is part way in, the drive will take it and
load it into the proper position.
If you insert a tape incorrectly, the drive will reject it. Do not attempt to force a tape into the
drive! If the tape does not load easily, take it back out and check its orientation.
Before unloading the tape cartridge, be sure the tape activity light (the center green LED) is out. To
unload, press the tape eject and the drive will eject the tape.
AM-650 Status LEDs
There are three LEDs on the front of the AM-650, two green and one amber. They all light briefly when
the drive is turned on. After that, they have these meanings:
•
Left Green LED: On when there is a tape cartridge in the drive; flashing during self-test.
•
Center Green LED: Flashing during any activity (tape loading, unloading, or movement).
•
Amber LED: On if drive needs cleaning. Flashing if there is an unrecoverable drive failure,
cartridge failure, or microcode download failure.
All LEDs flashing at once indicates a fatal trap.
