USING PANEL TO DIAGNOSE AN ERROR
A peripheral CRT and keyboard can be connected to the workstation using an
RS-232-C crossed cable assembly. (See the Peripherals Hardware Manual, Section 4,
"Additional IWS Peripherals Hardware," subsection, "RS-232-C Serial Interface.")
The CRT should be set up to be 300 baud even parity. The Panel debugger program
can be entered by pressing the space bar (20h), the carriage return (0Dh), or the
ESCAPE key (1Bh) on a dumb terminal.
NOTE
If the error code is 40h (boot timeout), the space bar entry to Panel
debugger must be performed within five seconds after the error code is
displayed, or the ROM program will continue trying to bootstrap.
The 8086 register CX is set up to contain the error code before Panel debugger is
entered. If the error is a memory error, information related to the error is
contained in registers DS, DI, SI, and BP, as follows:
