KL10 CONSOLE INSTRUCTIONS Conventions:î____________ Commands end with carriage return. DELETE deletes the last character typed; deleted characters are echoed between backslashes. CTRL/U deletes the line being typed. Numbers are octal. 36-bit numbers may be typed as two half-words separated by a space. Negative numbers may be entered; thus -1 means 36 1-bits. In the following, is a symbol; don't type the angle brackets. To examine and deposit memory:î______________________________ "EM
" types out the contents of the addressed location. If
is omitted, the last address used is used again. "EN" examines the last address used plus one. "EM , " examines the address through the address, inclusive. Don't put spaces around the comma. "DM
: " deposits into memory. You can omit the
, but not the colon, to re-use the last address used. Putting R and a space in front of a command repeats it, with typeout turned off, until you hit CTRL/C. The Switches:î_____________ The left-most 16 switches are on the pdp11 panel. Numbers have been affixed to indicate the pdp10 bit numbers. The remaining switches are set by the "SW " command. "SW" alone types out the current setting of the switches. Running Diagnostics:î____________________ Load the DEC microcode with the "P U.RAM" command. Type "SM" to start the microcode. To run DG series diagnostics, which run in the pdp11, type e.g. "P DGKAB.A11", then "SED". To run other diagnostics, which run in the pdp10, type "P SUBRTN", then "P DDMMG" (for instance), then "STD" to start it. Stopping a Running Program:î___________________________ Hit BREAK, then CTRL/C. If the running program is in the pdp10, the "SP" command is needed to stop it. Powering the machine back on:î_____________________________ Check for boxes with no lights on; their circuit breakers may have tripped. Hit the DISK button to reload KLDCP. If it doesn't reload, disk unit 0 may need to be powered on and off. Type "RP0" to select disk unit 0. Do "J KLINIT". This loads the ITS microcode and configures memory and cache. If you get a bunch of "ADR=xxx COR=yyy ACT=000" messages, some memory is hung. Try resetting it. (RESET switch is at bottom right inside front door of each memory.) Standard Tests:î_______________ "J KLDIAG" runs a series of diagnostics to check out the processor. Switch 0 is raised to stop each diagnostic (at the end of the current pass) and run the next. If it says "please load u code ver 73" do "P MBOX.RAM" then "HC". The "E bus diagnostic enable switch" is a toggle inside the front door of the left-most bay, near the "DTE SWITCH PANEL" decal. To run memory tests, "P U.RAM", "SM", "PE0", "P SUBRTN", "P DDMMG", "STD". Or, "P DGKBB.A11", "SED". Other Commands:î_______________ "MR" does a master reset of the machine. "SM" starts the microcode. Try this if you get "? UCODE HUNG", "? EM ERR", etc. "J NTSDDT" loads in an exec DDT from disk. A complete list of KLDCP commands is in an 8 1/2 x 11 printout labelled "KLDCP OPR" around somewhere in the machine room.
