SDX Diagnostic Program

To run this program, you need the disk entitled SDX ± System 5000 or SDX ± System 10000/ 15000 that is shipped with the Altos 5000 or 15000, respectively. Perform the following steps.

Before running this test, shut down UNIX and move the RESET/RUN key to the RESET position. (Refer to Chapter 6 of this manual for the shutdown procedure for both the Altos 5000 and Altos 15000 systems.) The Altos 5000 and Altos 15000 systems do not have the same power-up procedure. This difference is accommodated in Step 1.

1.For the Altos 15000 system, insert the disk labeled SDX ± System 10000/15000 and power on the system. To do this, move the RESET/RUN key on the front panel clockwise from RESET to RUN. The SDX program loads, showing several rows of c's and d's on the screen. When the SDX Main Menu appears, as shown in Figure 8-2, proceed to Step 4.

For the Altos 5000 system, insert the disk entitled SDX ± System 5000 into the floppy drive and move the RESET/RUN key on the front panel clockwise from RESET to RUN (if the Altos 5000 system is turned off, move the power switch on the rear panel to the ON position instead). The system runs through its normal power sequence and displays the following message:

Press spacebar to interrupt autoboot

2.PRESS: the spacebar immediately

The Boot Menu appears, as shown in Figure 8-1.
