ES/2 Operations Reference<br />
The Program Module<br />
The program module is a plug in unit which contains all the operating software for the ES/2. It is<br />
designed to permit easy upgrade without having to remove the equipment from its rack.<br />
The software is loaded on three EPROMS called COMMS, KERNEL and MACHINE. The COMMS<br />
ROM contains software for the communications processor, which handles communications with<br />
the ESbus (or Emulator) controller, the KERNEL ROM for the main synchronising processor, and<br />
the MACHINE ROM contains interface programs for all the machines which can be interfaced to.<br />
Updating is very easy as the Program Module is designed to be removed and replaced with the<br />
power turned on or off. A hard reset must be performed after the program module has been<br />
replaced with the power on.<br />
To perform a hard reset<br />
Hold the MODE, MENU and 2 and 4 softkeys until the Hard Reset message appears on<br />
the display.<br />
It is advisable that the same revisions of each ROM are installed in each ES/2 in a system.<br />
The program module also contains an internal multiposition switch which is used to activate the<br />
built-in software testing facilities. This switch should be in position 0 for normal operation. Please<br />
refer to the ES/2 Service <strong>Manual</strong> for more information.<br />
The Reset Switch<br />
A recessed switch on the program module. This provides a hardware reset signal to the<br />
microprocessor and peripherals. It is equivalent to turning the power off and on. See “Resetting the<br />
ES/2".<br />
