In order to test a new setup by executing the setup file from the CF card,
proceed as follows after you have formatted the CF card and copied the
setup file:

1.

Check that the system includes a boot code version 4.07 or higher.
Use the VER command or the SYSINFO command to check the
version.

2.

Insert the CompactFlash card into the CF card slot.

3.

To check that a setup exists, give the following terminal command.
Note that a UNIX/LINUX type file system with only one root is
used, and thus the CF card is automatically mounted on the /Ext/
directory path.

dir /Ext/<pathname>

4.

Use the reset command to launch a new startup with the setup file
to be tested:

reset [delay] /Ext/<setup file>

For example, if you have copied the setup501.adc setup file to a
directory named test, give the following command to launch the new
startup:

reset 0 /Ext/test/setup501.adc

where
pathname =

Directory used

where
delay

=

Period of time (in seconds) before the system
resets. The value of the delay parameter can be 0,
which causes an immediate reset.

setup file =

Path and file name without drive identification

NOTE

Note that the directory separator (/) is not the same as in the DOS
prompt.

Make sure you enter the pathname as presented in the example above
(/Ext/).
