CHAPTER 2 System Setup • General • Opening the top panel and rear panel • Adding cards • Installing optional drives • Panel mounting • Rack mounting
2.1 General Your AWS-842TPB/SPB is easy to use. All you have to do is remove its cover, install your CPU card, display adapter card, an optional hard disk drive, and whatever additional I/O cards that your application requires, and you are ready to mount your workstation into a 19-inch rack or panel. Warning! Do not begin your installation until you are sure there is no power flowing within the AWS-842TPB/SPB. It must be switched off and unplugged.
2.2 Opening The Top Panel And Rear Panel Remove the eight screws from the top panel and then open the top cover. (See Fig. 2-1.) After removing the top cover, you can detach the six screws from the rear panel and open the rear panel. (See Fig. 2-2.
Figure 2-2: Opening the rear panel 14 AWS-842TPB/SPB User's Manual
2.3 Adding Cards The PCI passive backplane accepts both PCI-bus and ISA-bus CPU and I/O cards. We recommend all-in-one cards. They are durable, and save valuable slot space by bundling a CPU card with hard disk and floppy disk controllers, as well as serial and parallel ports. Open the top panel (see Section 2.2) and then slowly slide the card in and carefully press it into the backplane socket. Secure it with a screw to the top mounting bar. (See Fig. 2-3). Connect the wires.
2.4 Installing Optional Drives The AWS-842TPB/SPB provides space for three drives (one slim floppy disk drive, one hard disk drive and one slim CD-ROM drive) underneath the case. A front-facing floppy drive has already been installed. You can access it from the FDD dust-resistant door panel. If you wish, you can add a 3.5" hard disk drive or a slim CD-ROM drive above the front-facing floppy drive.

CHAPTER Macro Key Programming • Introduction • Macro components • Syntax • How to use SFED842.
3.1 Introduction Our workstations are equipped with programmable function keys (macro keys) that greatly enhance the operator interface. Macros, far more powerful than batch files, automate the most commonly used input sequences. They extended their functional reach to within application programs. 3.2 Macro Components The following article explains how to use and program the function keys.
3.3 Syntax Macro definitions consist of ASCII characters or character codes for special characters such as ALT, ENTER, SHIFT, F1, SF2, and so on. These codes are predefined, and SFED842.COM will display them on the screen for you. They are easily recognizable, appearing between the square brackets ‘[‘ and ‘]’. For example : ALT represents [26] ENTER represents [33] In your macro script, you can enter ordinary text (ASCII characters) or the code(s) of the required special character(s).
Please refer to the following examples: ALT-X represents [26]X[90] or [26]x[90]. ALT-F1 represents [26][44][90] SHIFT-X represents [27]X[90] SHIFT-F1 represents [27][44][90] CTRL-X represents [28]X[90] CTRL-F represents [28][44][90] CTRL-ALT-DEL represents [28][26][41][90] (reboot) CTRL-ALT-A represents [28][26]A[90] CTRL-SHIFT-1 represents [28][27]1[90] Another useful function is the DELAY instruction. You can instruct the macro program to wait before executing the next keystroke. SFED842.
3.4 How To Use SFED842.COM First, copy all the files to your hard disk and/or make a backup disk. When starting the macro editor, you will have to specify either an existing macro script file or a new macro script file. Here we will create a new file by typing SFED842 NEWKEY.TXT [ENTER]. The following screen will appear: Advantech Workstation Special Function Key Edit Program Rev.
3.5 Examples We will explain all macro functions that you can find in the EX842.TXT macro script file. After typing SFED842 EX842.TXT [ENTER], the following editor screen will appear: Advantech Workstation Special Function Key Edit Program Rev.
SF1 = CD\TOOL[33] SFED842 EXAMPLE.TXT[33] This macro changes to the TOOL directory, then starts up SFED842.COM with EXAMPLE.TXT. SF2 = COPY C:\CONFIG.EMM C:\CONFlG.SYS[33]Y[33][85][79] The configuration information is changed by copying CONFIG.EMM to CONFIG.SYS. After a delay of 5 seconds, [85], the macro, invokes macro function key SF10, [79], which was defined to reset the system. SF4 = C:\WP51\WP[33][86][27][4D][90]REPORT.
