File No. 1800-01 Form GA26-5753-1 Systems Reference Library IBM 1BOO Operating Procedures This publication is a guide for operators using the mM 1800 System console and data processing input/output devices. It covers in detail operator duties normally encountered when using the system console or operating the data processing input/output devices. No specific programming system is assumed. Functions of the system console keys, lights, and switches are included in this publication, as well as descriptions of the operator keys and lights, manual controls, setup procedures, and principles of operation for the data processing input/output devices. Procedures for clearing conditions that require operator intervention are given. Preface This publication is intended for use as a guide for operators using the data processing (DP) input/output (I/O) devices attached to the IBM 1800 System. It is for operators who have had only a minimum amount of training on stored- program computer systems. This publication covers in de- I tail the usual duties of an operator in conjunction with the DP I/O devices and the IBM 1800 System. The practices and techniques given are approved methods based on the preference of IBM and the practices of many experienced operators. The user must remember, however, that the employer has the prerogative of determining the operator's procedures and responsibilities. This publication contains a section on the processor- controller and each DP I/O device. Each section is designed as a stand-alone unit containing the pertinent operator information necessary for each device. Pictorial illustrations are included for their value in clarifying procedures.
