SWITCHES
The switches on the 5100 console (Figure 2) are used for turning power on, re-
starting the system, and controlling how information is displayed.
Power On or Restart Procedures
The following switches are used when turning power on to the system or re-
starting the system operation.
BAS1 C/APL
Only dual-language machines have this switch. The switch setting determines which
language will be in operation when power is turned on or after RESTART is
pressed. If the switch setting is changed after power is turned on or after RESTART
is pres$ed, the language in operation will not be changed.
Power ON/C)FF

system performs internal checks and becomes ready in 15-20 seconds. When the
switch is put in the OFF position, no power is supplied to the system. 7,

Note: The message CLEAR WS is displayed when the system becomes ready. If
this message is not displayed after 20 seconds, restart the system operation (the
RESTART switch is discussed next).
RESTART
This switch restarts the system operation. When it is pressed, the system performs
internal checks and becomes ready in 15-20 seconds. The message CLEAR WS is
displayed when the system is ready. If the system does not display the message
after 20 seconds, press RESTART again. If the system does not become ready
after several attempts, call your service representative.
The primary uses of this switch are to restart the system operation after a system
malfunction has occurred and to change the language in operation on dual-
language machines.
Note: Any information you had stored in the active workspace (see Chapter 2)
will be lost when RESTART is pressed.
Display Screen Control
The following switches are used to control how the information on the display
screen is displayed.
L32 64 R32
This three-position switch (positions 64, L32, and R32) operates as follows:
0 64 - Characters are displayed in adjacent positions, and up to 64 characters
can be shown on each line.
0 L32 - Characters are displayed in alternate positions (blanks between); only
the left 32 characters of the 64-character lines are shown.
R32 - Characters are displayed in alternate positions (blanks between); only
the right 32 characters of the 64-character lines are shown.
REVERSE DISPLAY
This switch determines whether the display screen will display light characters
on a dark background or dark characters on a light background. The brightness
control may have to be adjusted when the switch setting is changed.
DISPLAY REGISTERS
This switch is for the service representative’s use when servicing your 51 00.
Note: When you use your 5100, this switch must be
in the NORMAL position.
