2.Insert a 3.5-inch floppy disk into the PC. Select the Write File icon on the task bar. This opens the Flat File Utility – Write dialog box. The default for writing flat files is to generate all files regardless of whether or not they are used. To write only specific files, deselect the ones you do not want to generate.

3.Click Select on the Flat File Source button. This opens the standard Open dialog box.

4.Double click on the file you want to copy. This opens the Save As dialog box.

TRANSFER FILES FROM 3.5-INCH FLOPPY DISK TO CM9760-CC1

NOTE: Before the files are copied to the CM9760-CC1 hard drive, the message “Files Already Exist, Over Write? Y/N/A” (yes/no/all) will appear. SAVE all current operating flat files that are being replaced before selecting “yes” or “all” at the prompt.

The following example uses “test” as the default file name. If you have changed the configu- ration files name (refer to the Renaming Configuration Files section below), substitute the new name you selected instead of “test”.

1.Insert the 3.5-inch floppy disk containing the flat files you want to load into the CM9760-CC1.

2.Take the CM9760 offline by simultaneously pressing Ctrl and Q on the AT keyboard. The VGA monitor will display C:/9760>.

3.Type copy a: test.* and press Enter.

4.Type A to the prompt and press Enter. The files on the floppy disk will replace those on the hard drive.

5.Remove the floppy disk and re-boot by simultaneously pressing Ctrl/Alt/Delete. Changes take effect after all configuration files load.

The Renaming Configuration Files section will show you how to give these files a new name.

The system loads the flat files listed in the system’s C:/9760 subdirectory. The default test.bat file’s command line reads CM9760 TEST where TEST is the name of the default files that load when the system boots from the autoexec.bat file.

1.Take the CM9760 offline by simultaneously pressing Ctrl and Q on the CM9760 AT keyboard. The VGA monitor will display C:/9760>.

2.Type ren test.* newfilename.* and press Enter. (“newfilename” is any new name you choose for the TEST files. Remember to enter a space after the first asterisk.)

3.Type cd.. to switch to the root directory.

4.Type edit autoexec.bat and press Enter. This opens the file editor and the autoexec.bat file. The following is an example of the default autoexec.bat:

echo off path c:\dos

prompt=$t $d $p$g (change to newfilename) uptimer /t /p /f

CD 9760
