1 XEROX 1108 USER'S GUIDE 1 XEROX 1108 USER'S GUIDE USING THE 1108 1 USING THE 1108 1 3. USING THE 1108 6 This chapter provides basic information for using the 1108 workstation. 2 Introduction 1 Before you turn your 1108 workstation on, be sure to read the preceding two chapters to get an overview of the equipment and the operation of your workstation. 2 Turning the 1108 On 1 Note: Wait at least three minutes if you decide to turn the processor on after turning it off. 1. Pull down on the cover of the Maintenance Panel if the cover is closed. 2. Push the rocker switch to the 1 position. The maintenance panel will display the numbers 8888. 2 Booting the 1108 1 The software delivered with your Xerox 1108 is bound into a runnable package called a boot file. The process of loading a boot file into the 1108 is called booting. Boot files may be booted from either the rigid disk or a floppy disk. Normally, the rigid disk is set up so that powering up the processor resumes the last Interlisp-D session. If the rigid disk has not been properly initialized, follow the procedures described in the chapter entitled Software Installation. Boot Types 1 Two types of booting are available on the Xerox 1108: normal booting and alternate booting. Normal booting assumes that Interlisp-D has been properly set up in a logical volume of the rigid disk. Alternate booting allows for booting of utility software from the rigid disk or a floppy disk. Normal Boot 1 If Interlisp-D is properly installed, a normal boot is performed by pressing and releasing the B RESET (left) boot button. The Maintenance Panel will go blank and then display 8888 for a few seconds. A succession of maintenance panel codes will then be displayed during the booting sequence. Interlisp-D should be ready within about 10 seconds. If you ended a previous Interlisp-D session by logging out, a normal boot will resume that session. If you are running Interlisp-D for the first time, the most recently installed logical volume will be booted. Alternate Boot 1 To perform an alternate boot, press the B RESET and ALT B buttons simultaneously, then release B RESET. The maintenance panel will go blank, show 8888, then cycle slowly and repeatedly through the sequence 0000, 0001, ..., 0010. Release the ALT B button when the desired number is showing. The options are: 0000 Boots Interlisp-D from a logical volume on the rigid disk. Usually, the logical volume selected will be the one containing the most recently used Interlisp-D system; i.e., if you terminate an Interlisp-D session with LOGOUT, then 0-boot will resume that session from where you left off. However, if the most recent activity was installing a fresh Interlisp-D system on a logical volume, 0-boot will boot from that logical volume. Note: To boot Interlisp-D from any logical volume, use the Lisp System Tool. 0001 Boots the 1108 into its base state. From this state it is possible to start utility programs such as diagnostics, or a tool to install and start Interlisp-D on different logical volumes. 0002 Floppy boot (suppress diagnostics). Only specially configured Xerox floppies, such as Installation Utility, or Fixed Disk Diagnostics, may be booted this way. 0005 Floppy boot (with diagnostics). Only specially configured Xerox floppies, such as Fixed Disk Diagnostic, may be booted this way. 0010 Floppy disk drive head cleaning function (see below). 2 Turning the 1108 Off 1 1. Make sure you are logged off and see the bouncing white rectangle on your display. 2. Turn the rocker switch to the 0 position. This procedure allows the disk to spin down properly. 2 Basic Troubleshooting 1 Problem: The display is black, with no bouncing white square. 1. Check the intensity lever to see if it is pulled all the way toward you. 2. Check to make sure the processor is plugged in. 3. Check to make sure the processor is turned on. 4. Do a 5-boot from the Fixed Disk Diagnostic. 5. Note the Maintenance Panel code if the diagnostics fail and report this to your site's designated System Administrator, or the Xerox service representative. Problem: The cursor will not move. 1. Make sure the ball bearings of the two-button mouse are moving freely by moving the mouse in circles on the plastic pad. 2. Make sure the two-button mouse is on the special plastic pad or other nonslip surface. The three-button mouse must be on its special optical paper (grey-colored with small, hexagonal pattern.) 3. Make sure the thin cable is attached securely to the mouse and the keyboard. 4. Check the Maintenance Panel code for reporting the problem to your site's designated Principal User, or the Xerox service representative. Reporting Problems 1 The Interlisp-D support team is committed to providing full support services to the entire Interlisp-D user community. Users are encouraged to report problems with the system, errors in the documentation, and their general observations. Messages may be sent to us in several ways. At most Interlisp-D sites, there is one person designated as the Interlisp-D System Administrator, typically an experienced user. If the System Administrator is not able to help you with your problem, he or she should be able to contact the Interlisp-D support team for you. Users with access to the ARPANET are encouraged to send mail to our net address: AISupport@XEROX Users without ARPANET sponsorship should call (818) 351-2351 ext. 2222 collect or write to: AI Support Xerox Special Information Systems 250 North Halstead Street Pasadena, CA 91109 [This page intentionally left blank.] (LIST ((PAGE NIL (PAPERSIZE Letter FOLIOINFO (ARABIC) STARTINGPAGE# 23) (0 0 612 792) ((FOLIO NIL (PARALOOKS (QUAD RIGHT) CHARLOOKS (SUPERSCRIPT 0 INVISIBLE OFF SELECTPOINT OFF PROTECTED OFF SIZE 10 FAMILY MODERN OVERLINE OFF STRIKEOUT OFF UNDERLINE OFF EXPANSION REGULAR SLOPE REGULAR WEIGHT MEDIUM INVERTED OFF USERINFO NIL STYLE NIL) FORMATINFO (ARABIC)) (180 204 288 36) NIL) (HEADING NIL (HEADINGTYPE FOOTINGR) (144 216 468 36) NIL) (TEXT NIL NIL (144 228 324 528) NIL))) (PAGE NIL (PAPERSIZE Letter FOLIOINFO (ARABIC)) (0 0 612 792) ((FOLIO NIL (PARALOOKS (QUAD LEFT) CHARLOOKS (SUPERSCRIPT 0 INVISIBLE OFF SELECTPOINT OFF PROTECTED OFF SIZE 10 FAMILY MODERN OVERLINE OFF STRIKEOUT OFF UNDERLINE OFF EXPANSION REGULAR SLOPE REGULAR WEIGHT MEDIUM INVERTED OFF USERINFO NIL STYLE NIL) FORMATINFO (ARABIC)) (144 204 288 36) NIL) (HEADING NIL (HEADINGTYPE FOOTINGV) (144 216 468 36) NIL) (HEADING NIL (HEADINGTYPE VERSOHEAD) (144 756 468 36) NIL) (TEXT NIL NIL (144 228 324 510) NIL))) (PAGE NIL (PAPERSIZE Letter FOLIOINFO (ARABIC)) (0 0 612 792) ((FOLIO NIL (PARALOOKS (QUAD RIGHT) CHARLOOKS (SUPERSCRIPT 0 INVISIBLE OFF SELECTPOINT OFF PROTECTED OFF SIZE 10 FAMILY MODERN OVERLINE OFF STRIKEOUT OFF UNDERLINE OFF EXPANSION REGULAR SLOPE REGULAR WEIGHT MEDIUM INVERTED OFF USERINFO NIL STYLE NIL) FORMATINFO (ARABIC)) (180 204 288 36) NIL) (HEADING NIL (HEADINGTYPE FOOTINGR) (144 216 468 36) NIL) (HEADING NIL (HEADINGTYPE RECTOHEAD) (144 756 468 36) NIL) (TEXT NIL NIL (144 228 324 510) NIL)))))/DDäěT/DDT.TTDD1TrD rD.TTDD1x–D–D.DD(DH.DD.DD.D"D.TTD D.DD.DD<DPAGEHEADING VERSOHEAD<DPAGEHEADING RECTOHEAD;DPAGEHEADINGFOOTINGV;DPAGEHEADINGFOOTINGR.TfDf4xŠDxŠD1TxDxD.DD.TfDf.TTDD.TTDD(MODERN MODERN MODERNMODERNMODERN?1(DEFAULTFONT 1 (GACHA 10) (GACHA 8) (TERMINAL 8)) HRULE.GETFNMODERNHRULE.GETFNMODERN HRULE.GETFNMODERN HRULE.GETFNMODERN HRULE.GETFN?1(DEFAULTFONT 1 (GACHA 10) (GACHA 8) (TERMINAL 8)) IHRULE.GETFNMODERN HRULE.GETFNMODERN¤HRULE.GETFNMODERN HRULE.GETFN?1(DEFAULTFONT 1 (GACHA 10) (GACHA 8) (TERMINAL 8)) _KcHRULE.GETFNMODERN HRULE.GETFNMODERNĂ HRULE.GETFNMODERN# HRULE.GETFNMODERN+ HRULE.GETFNMODERN8®Q» „7HRULE.GETFNMODERN HRULE.GETFNMODERN V-7HRULE.GETFNMODERN HRULE.GETFNMODERN >N331 #}ÄPŤ HRULE.GETFNMODERNQ\"&í˝zş
