1 XEROX 1186 USER'S GUIDE 1 XEROX 1186 USER'S GUIDE USING THE 1186 1 USING THE 1186 1 4. USING THE 1186 6 2 Turning the 1186 On 1 The rocker switch is located on the front of your processor, under the processor panel cover. Put the rocker switch at the 1 position. The display screen will be black with a bouncing white rectangle. This is known as the "base state." You can now proceed to the next step, which is to boot the 1186. Note: Wait at least three minutes if you decide to turn the processor on after turning it off. 2 Booting the 1186 1 The software delivered with your Xerox 1186 is bound into a package called a boot file. The process of loading a boot file into the 1186 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. Booting the 1186 is performed at the keyboard by pressing one of the ten function keys labeled F1 through F10. Booting options are summarized below: Key Function F1 Rigid disk boot/Lisp boot F2 Floppy disk boot F3 Ether boot F4 Alternate Ether boot F5 Diagnostic rigid disk boot F6 Diagnostic floppy disk boot F7 Diagnostic Ether boot F8-F10 currently not used Pressing one of these keys in combination with a number key (from 0 to 7) will permit more specific options. Booting Sequence for Interlisp-D 1 Cursor codes are displayed on the 1186 display screen. They are usually in the upper left corner of the screen, or they can replace the mouse pointer. This section describes the current sequence of cursor codes for booting your workstation and loading Interlisp-D. The cursor code numbers are arranged in four quadrants of a square, with two characters on each side. The correct reading order is top left, top right, bottom left, and bottom right. From the base state, press the F-1 key. The screen will turn black and the small white rectangle will be replaced by the number "0101", which will appear as follows: 01 01 The cursor code will retain this appearance for a few seconds, then begin to count rapidly from 0101 to 0200. If no errors are detected, the cursor code will start incrementing at a slower rate, beginning with 0. During this phase, Interlisp-D is being loaded into virtual memory. The cursor code will stop counting when it reaches a number that is one one-hundredth of the size of your Lisp volume. Therefore, if you have a 35000 page Lisp volume, the cursor code increments from 0 to 350. For this example, the procedure takes about one minute. Once Interlisp-D is loaded, the cursor code changes to 1186. The display is activated almost immediately, and displays a collection of random dots. A few seconds elapse, and the Interlisp-D screen appears. 2 Turning the 1186 Off 1 1. Type "(LOGOUT)" so that the screen returns to the base state's bouncing white rectangle. 2. Put the rocker switch at the 0 position. Note: Remember to wait at least three minutes before turning the processor on again. 2 Routine Maintenance 1 To keep your 1186 workstation in good working order, the following tasks should be performed on a monthly basis, or as specified. Keyboard 1 Brush off the keyboard to keep dust from building up under the keys. Mouse 1 Brush or wipe the dust from the surface of the mouse pad, since dust can interfere with the ball bearings of the two-button mouse, and the lens of the three-button mouse. Move the mouse in circles on the mouse pad and check the movement of the cursor on the display screen to make sure it is operating smoothly. If you see any hesitation in the movement of the cursor, the mouse should be cleaned by a Xerox technical representative. Display Screen 1 Lightly wipe your display screen with a damp cloth. You may use a commercial window cleaner by spraying cleaner on the cloth before cleaning the screen. CAUTION: Do not allow any liquid to drip down into the housing around the screen. Floppy Disk Drive 1 Once weekly, or every fifth time the floppy disk drive is used, clean the disk drive heads. If the heads are not kept clean, deposits can accumulate that can cause scratching or erasure of data on the disks. Obtain a Xerox head cleaning kit from your technical representative, and follow the directions that come with the kit. Floppy Disks 1 Store floppy disks away from magnets, dust, and heat. Do not bend them. Do not write on their labels with ball-point pens or pencils of any sort. Any of these actions can result in loss of data. 2 Troubleshooting 1 This section describes some of the more common problems that may occur when you are using your 1186 workstation. Problem: The display is black, with no bouncing white rectangle. 1. Check the intensity wheel to see if it is turned all the way up. (The intensity thumbwheel is located just behind the display screen, on the right hand side.) 2. Make sure the processor is plugged in. 3. Make sure the processor is turned on. Problem: The cursor will not move. 1. Test the mouse' sensors by moving it in circles on the plastic pad. 2. Make sure the two-button mouse is on the special plastic pad or other non-slip 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 cursor code that is displayed on your display screen. Write the code down and report it to your System Administrator, or the Xerox service representative. Reporting Problems 1 The Xerox AIS support team is committed to providing full support services to the entire Xerox AIS 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 Xerox 1100 sites, an experienced user is designated as the Xerox 1100 System Administrator. If the System Administrator is not able to help you with your problem, he or she should be able to contact the Xerox AIS 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: Xerox AIS Support Xerox Special Information Systems 250 North Halstead Street Pasadena, CA 91109 (LIST ((PAGE NIL (PAPERSIZE Letter FOLIOINFO (ARABIC) STARTINGPAGE# 27) (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 NIL FOLIOINFO (ARABIC)) (0 0 612 792) ((FOLIO NIL (PARALOOKS (QUAD LEFT) CHARLOOKS (SUPERSCRIPT 0 SIZE 10 FAMILY MODERN OVERLINE OFF STRIKEOUT OFF UNDERLINE OFF SLOPE REGULAR WEIGHT MEDIUM) 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 NIL FOLIOINFO (ARABIC)) (0 0 612 792) ((FOLIO NIL (PARALOOKS (QUAD RIGHT) CHARLOOKS (SUPERSCRIPT 0 SIZE 10 FAMILY MODERN OVERLINE OFF STRIKEOUT OFF UNDERLINE OFF SLOPE REGULAR WEIGHT MEDIUM) 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)))))/DDT1TŠD ŠD.TTDD(TTD 1DfD.DD1DfD1TfD fD.TTD D.DD.D"D1TTD `D.DHD.DDEDDø PAGEHEADING VERSOHEADEDDø PAGEHEADING RECTOHEADDDDø PAGEHEADINGFOOTINGVDDDø PAGEHEADINGFOOTINGR1DfD(TTD.TfDf1TfDfD.TTDD.TTDD.DD1TTD`D(øMODERNMODERN €MODERN MODERN MODERN MODERN?1(DEFAULTFONT 1 (GACHA 10) (GACHA 8) (TERMINAL 8))  HRULE.GETFNMODERN HRULE.GETFNMODERN  HRULE.GETFNMODERN  HRULE.GETFNMODERN  HRULE.GETFNMODERN  HRULE.GETFNMODERN HRULE.GETFNMODERN  1_  HRULE.GETFN?1(DEFAULTFONT 1 (GACHA 10) (GACHA 8) (TERMINAL 8))  HRULE.GETFNMODERN  N• n !
