Loading the Operating System

The load option is entered from the Maintenance Mode menu by touching the stylus to the LOAD OPERATING SYSTEM selection. The load option establishes conditions that permit the 5992 to receive an operating system download from the host. An operating system load should only be required to install a new operating system version supplied by NCR.

It is not necessary to enter Maintenance Mode to download the operating system. This can be done at any time in Normal Mode from the host. The download also can be initiated at the end of Power-up diagnostics, if a test fails.

After reloading the operating system, an application load is required. This also must be initiated from the host. If the application is not loaded, the 5992 displays “APPLICATION NOT PRESENT, LOAD APPLICATION.”

The 5992 Utility Diskette contains the Operating System. To load the Operating System, you need a 386 or higher processor with a 3.5” disk drive. You also can use the host terminal if it has a 3.5” disk drive. Perform the following steps.

1.With the PC on, go to the DOS prompt (C:\).

2.Type cd a: and press Enter to change to the 3.5” disk drive.

3.Type dir and press Enter to display the disk directory.

4.Identify the most current Operating System and Application files – OS*.out and APP*.out.

5.Run the Utility program by typing 5992_ut.exe and pressing Enter.

Note: The 5992_ut.exe utility is the same utility used for the 5991 as only the filename was changed. All menu text still refers to the 5991 only, but applies to the 5992 as well.

6. Select the communication type and port as prompted.
