.BEGIN INDENT 5
Before you do anything, you should try to find a wizard. Try paging,
or if necessary call one at home.
If you call a wizard at home, he may dial up the CTY and fix it from
home. You should stand by in case he asks you to do something like
restart the KA-10, check some status lights, etc.

Around dinnertime, a good place to find wizards is at %2The Little
Restaurant%1 (Louie's), (9) 323-6540.
If that fails, you'll have to fix it yourself. Make sure there isn't
a wizard already working on the problem. After you fix it, make a
note in the log with the date and time of the failure, and %2sign
it%1.

%2FIXING THE SYSTEM:%1
.BEGIN INDENT 5
Most crashes will print a message followed by:
←%4FIND A WIZARD OR TYPE "CPOPJ$G". $ MEANS ESC. YOU'RE IN DDT.%1
If it prints this, try typing %4CPOPJ%1[ESC]%4G%1 and a couple of
[RETURN]s. If you get monitor dots, you're winning. Type %4BEEP%1 and
[RETURN] to tell everybody the good news. %2Don't forget to log the
crash!%1
If after you type %4CPOPJ$G%1 the same thing happens, try
%4CPOPJ$G%1 again. If it repeatedly happens, you'll have to reload.
Go to step 1 below.
If the system is printing many %4PARITY ERROR%1 messages, you will
have to reset the losing memory. If you don't know how to do this,
find somebody who does; reloading the system won't help!
If the machine has powered itself off (ie, the console PDP-11 and power
lights are off), then an overtemp probably happened. Get help. Do
%2NOT%1 power the system back on unless a wizard tells you to do so!
If an obscure message like %4?10 CLKOP%1 or %4?10 TTI%1 was printed on
the CTY, a memory is probably losing (hung or powered off). Get help.
If no message was printed, or some message which doesn't look like
the example above, you will have to reload.

1. If there has been a power failure, go to 100.
2. If a message such as %4KL10 Halted ...%1 appears followed by %4>.%1
at the left margin go to step 4. The important part is that %4>.%1
should appear to signify that KLDCP is listening.
3. Type %4↑X%1 (ie, hold down %4CTRL%1 and type %4X%1). The response
should be %4KLDCP%1, a CRLF, and a period. You may sometimes have to
wait a few seconds for this response. If you don't get a period or
%4>.%1 at the left margin, go to 100.
4. Type %4DS%1 and [RETURN]. If you get the response %4DSKDMP%1 go to
step 5. If you don't get %4DSKDMP%1 as a response to %4DS%1, then if
the KA-10 is running, stop it and repeat this step. If you get
%4DEPOSIT/EXAMINE ERROR IN DS%1 then perform step 102 and repeat step
4. If the KA-10 is stopped and %4DS%1 doesn't get you %4DSKDMP%1, go to
100.
5. Type %4WAITS%1 and [RETURN]. If the system reloads and starts you
are winning. Otherwise, if the KA-10 is running, stop it and repeat
steps 4 and 5. If the KA-10 is stopped and DSKDMP still doesn't work,
get help. %2Don't forget to log the crash!%1
.END
%2Don't come here unless directed by the steps above.%1
.BEGIN INDENT 5
100. If the PDP-11 is running and you are talking to KLDCP, go to
step 101. Make sure a DECtape labeled "KL10 bootstrap" is mounted on
a PDP-11 DECtape drive that is selected to unit 0 and is enabled for
"remote" (ie, computer) operation. Press "LOAD DECTAPE" [located
above and to the left of the red "Emergency Power Off" button] and
hold it for at least a slow count to one. The DECtape should spin and
eventually something like %4TCDP monitor%1 should be typed. Type in
%4KLDCP%1 and [RETURN]. KLDCP should load and type a message - go to
step 101. If you don't get to TCDP you might try pressing the LOAD
DECTAPE button again. If you get to TCDP and the %4KLDCP%1 command
doesn't work, get help.
101. If there's been a power failure you will have to reload the
KL10's microcode. Type %4DT0 LR SU%1 to KLDCP and [RETURN]. If any
error messages are printed, get help. Type %4SW 37 600000%1 and
[RETURN].
102. After loading the microcode, you must configure the memory
adapter by typing %4I X4%1 and [RETURN]. If the system is running
with reduced memory this is probably the wrong thing. Look at the
yellow card on the lower right-hand side of the CTY's keyboard to make
sure (it should say either %4I X4%1 or %4I X2%1).
103. Now try steps 4 and 5. If the command %4DS%1 gives the message
%4DSKDMP BOOT NOT LOADED, USE LD COMMAND%1, then load DSKDMP boot
into the PDP-11 by %4LD BOOT%1 and [RETURN]. If that doesn't work,
either the memory adapter is configured wrong (step 102) or a memory
is losing. Get help.
Good luck!
