Chapter 5. Completing your installation

Perform the following steps to return complete your installation:

__ 1. Make sure that you have reinstalled all of the covers on the following system components:

__ a. iSeries system unit.

__ b. All system expansion units.

DANGER

An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage on metal parts of the system or the products that attach to the system. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock. (RSFTD201)

Note: The fans may start, and system reference codes will appear when you plug the power cord for your system unit. These actions are normal. They do not indicate that your system unit is performing an initial program load (IPL).

__ 2. Plug the power cords for the following system components into electrical outlets:

__ a. Your system unit.

__ b. All expansion units attached to the system.

__ c. The system unit console.

__ d. The system printer.

__ 3. Turn power on to each of the following system components by using the associated power-on button:

__ a. The system printer (if present).

__ b. The system control console.

__ 4. Look at the Function/Data display on the control panel. See Appendix C, “System unit control panel” on page 43 if you need information about your control panel.

__ 5. Does 01 B V=S appear in the Function/Data display and OK is illuminated?

Note: If you are using Operations Console remote control panel, it may be necessary to click Enter to verify IPL speed.

Yes No

↓Do the following:

__ a. Press the Mode Select button until the Manual indicator (a small hand) lights up.

__ b. Press the Increment/Decrement push button until 02 appears in the Function/Data display.

__ c. Press the Enter push button on the control panel.

__ d. Press the Increment/Decrement push button until B appears in the Function/Data display.

__ e. Press the Enter push button on the control panel.

__ f. Press the Increment/Decrement push button until S appears in the Function/Data display

5078, 5079, 578, 5074 specifications

The IBM 5074, 578, 5079, and 5078 are part of IBM's influential line of midrange computer systems that emerged during the late 1970s and early 1980s. These models were pivotal in the evolution of business computing at a time when companies were increasingly adopting automated systems for data processing tasks.

The IBM 5074, also known as the IBM 5100 Series, was particularly notable for being one of the first portable computers, offering a versatile computing environment for both technical and business applications. It featured an impressive combination of hardware and software capabilities, including a built-in keyboard, a screen, and the ability to run various programming languages. Both APL and BASIC were readily available, making it a popular choice for developers and mathematicians alike.

The 578 model was an advanced variant of the 5074, emphasizing enhanced performance and expanded memory capacity. The 578 integrated more sophisticated I/O capabilities, which included diverse connection options for external devices. This system was geared toward small and medium enterprises requiring robust computing power without the complexities of mainframe management.

The IBM 5079, on the other hand, distinguished itself with its unique multi-user capabilities, allowing for simultaneous access by multiple users. This built-in support for multitasking made it a formidable tool in office environments where collaboration and efficient resource sharing were paramount. Its operating system was designed to optimize performance across various applications, facilitating smoother operations in busy work environments.

Lastly, the IBM 5078 served as a bridge between traditional minicomputers and the growing demand for microcomputing solutions. It included critical innovations in processing speed and data handling capabilities, allowing businesses to better manage their operations. With a focus on reliability and uptime, the 5078 was engineered for critical business functions that demanded robust performance in a pragmatic package.

Together, these models underscored IBM's commitment to innovation and adaptability in the computing landscape of the late 20th century. They set the groundwork for future advancements in personal computing and enterprise systems, influencing generations of technology that followed. Their legacy is a testament to the evolution of computing technology, showcasing concrete advancements in capability, efficiency, and user accessibility.
