Warm Booting

To warm boot from an AM-65X, access your computer’s CMOS configuration menu and make sure the

alternate boot ID is set to the proper ID. See you computer Owner’s Manual for instructions on using the

CMOS menu.

For AM-7000 systems, warm booting from the AM-65X requires boot PROM revision level of

C00 or later. AM-7000 CPU boards built prior to September 2001 will probably need this

upgrade. If you need to order a boot PROM upgrade, please order part number DWP-00176-21.

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.

Hold the cartridge with the metal side down. The end of the tape cartridge with the write-protect

switch will enter the drive first.

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-65X Status LEDs

There are three LEDs on the front of the AM-65X, 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 error.
