Tony I says:
   Double connector sets for Video, KBD, FDD. One on bottom, one in front. Large connector on bottom for built in digital I/O signals
Ed. Only one monitor can be attached to the video ports at a time!

Support for the PS/2 XGA Adapter/A requires that the System Resource Card Graphics Support Upgrade (#6886) be installed on earlier models of the GEARBOX Model 800.


Erase Power On Password

The procedure is to place a jumper on the E3 jumper points (located below C37, 1 farad capacitor) on the system resource card for 20 minutes.


System Resource Card Status Lights
RUN/CHECK
   Green means SRC is OK
    Red means system detects an error on the SRC
    Off during system reset. BUT if it remains off after system reset is complete, an error may have occurred between the SRC and other cards in the unit.

SPEAKER 
   Amber light is off during normal operation, lit when a program activates a speaker. E2?

Hexadecimal Display.
   00 is the usual running display.


Three Port Cable Assembly (System Resource Breakout Cable)

  Connection from System Resource Card in the system to various other standard connectors Serial (RS-232/422), parallel, and System Digital Output (DO) devices.
   The 3' breakout cable attaches to the 78 pin D shell connector on the bottom of the system resource card. There are three D shell connectors on the breakout box (similar to the Multiport box).


Data Ouput Points
   A 15 pin D-Sub on the  breakout cable has three optically isolated Data Output Points:

DO1 Catastrophic Check
   Cannot be controlled or reset through OS. Indicates one or more of the following:
--Watchdog timer has tripped and the processor is no longer functioning normally.
--ECC on the processor has found a fatal memory error. The system may not continue to run.
--I/O channel Check caused by
     ECC check on an adapter
     Parity check on the bus
     I/O channel check by an adapter
--Temperature check
    Processing can continue but damage to the system unit may occur.
    Activated when exhaust air of the power supply >60 degrees C (140 degrees F).
--Other catastrophic errors noted by SVAL.
WARNING: If temperature check is ignored and internal PSU reaches damaging levels, the system will shut down without warning.
DO2 Non-Catastrophic Check
   Controlled by operating system. Examples: 'fan failed", "battery is low", or "battery missing".
DO3 Speaker Interface
   Speaker connection controlled by OS and system BIOS/SVAL.


Setup and Service Device (#6230)

A stand-alone 1.44MB, 3.5" diskette drive in an enclosure, used for initial system set-up, loading diags and recording test results on a Gearbox without a DASD module. It plugs into a DB26 port on the System Resource Card. This port must have the power and signal leads in it.

Note: The floppy port is DISABLED if a DASD module is installed.


Keyswitch

LOCK SVAI runs, system starts normally. KB is locked.

UNLOCK SVAI runs, KB can be used

MAINT MODE When powered off, system bypasses battery backup function. Use only during diagnostic procedures.

RESET Turn to Reset then back to any other position.
