StarLAN 10 NAU Diagnostic Program

To test the StarLAN 10 NAU, you need the disk entitled StarLAN 10 Network NAU Diagnostics that is shipped with the card. To run this diagnostic program, you must power down the Altos System 5000, remove the StarLAN 10 NAU and reset the jumper settings for IRQ 3 as shown in Figure 8-3, and replace the board. Once you have this disk, perform the following steps:

Figure 8-3.StarLAN IRQ Strapping

1.Move the RESET/RUN key on the front panel clockwise to the RUN position to reboot the System 5000 (if the System 5000 is turned off at this point, move the power switch on the rear panel to the ON position instead). The System 5000 will run through its normal power-up sequence and display the following message:

Press spacebar to interrupt autoboot

2.PRESS: the spacebar immediately

The Boot Menu displays (see Figure 8-1).

3.Insert the disk entitled StarLAN 10 Network NAU Diagnostics into the floppy drive and select Option 2 to boot from the floppy.

4.The diagnostic program will execute automatically. It will check the strap settings (I/O address, memory address, memory size and memory) to determine if the card is configured properly.

5.When the diagnostic has completed, press any key to exit the program and remove the disk from the floppy drive.

Power down the processor and remove the StarLAN 10 NAU. Move the IRQ setting from 3 back to the default 2. (See the section entitled Field Upgrade Packages in Chapter 2, Preinstallation Steps for the StarLAN 10 NAU, for the correct strap settings.) Replace the card and power up the processor.
