Processor in the rack is a M/N 57C430A or M/N 57C431, the

operating system(s) will be loaded at 9600 baud. At 9600 baud, it will

require approximately two minutes to load each operating system to

Processors in the rack. Although they are similar, the operating

systems for the 6010/6011 and 7010 Processor are different. If there

are6010/6011 and 7010 Processors mixed in thesamerack, loading

the operating systems will take approximately twice as long as it

would if therewereonly onetypeof Processor in therack.
Follow the directions below to load the operating system(s) for all

Processor modules in the local rack at one time. You can then load

the operating system(s) to all racks on all networks in the system.
Note: If you load an operating system into a Processor(s) that

already contains one, the new operating system will write over

the existing operating system, and any tasks in the Processor(s)

will be deleted.
1. If you havenot already doneso, turn on thepersonal computer

and run theAutoMax Executiveby typing
AUTOMAX2

or

AUTOMAX3

2. Turn on power to therack. You will notethat theleftmost

Processor modulein therack displays theletters L" and O"

(reading top to bottom). This code prompts you to Load the

Operating system. Because Processor modules have onĆboard

battery backup, you will need to reĆload the operating system

only when enhancements become available, when you change

thepassword for therack using thePWOS.EXE utility or when a

Processor module in the rack is replaced.

3. If you have not already done so, connect the personal computer

to theleftmost processor in therack, following thedirections

in 4.4.

4. Enter a <CR> at the initial screen. If you are using AutoMax

Version 2, select F10 for Load Operating System". If you are

using AutoMax Version 3, select Load Operating System" from

theCommands menu. Notethat you will seethemessageLocal

OS invalid Ć Direct connection only" before you load the

operating system for the first time. The AutoMax Executive

software will load the operating system onto all Processor

modules in thelocal rack at thenormal baud rate. TheAutoMax

Executive will display on the screen the portion (%) of the

operating system that has been loaded.

5. When installation begins, the code L" O" will disappear from the

two sevenĆsegment LEDs on the leftmost Processor module. The

LEDs should be blank. If any error codes appear on the LEDs of

the leftmost Processor, the loading was not successful. Repeat

step 4 above.

6. You can now load the operating system to other racks in the

system connected to the local rack (the rack to which your

personal computer is connected) through 57C404A Network
Communication modules. For any network containing 57C404

Network Communication modules, you must connect directly to

each rack on the network to load the operating system (see steps

1Ć5 above).
