That’s a blast from the past! If you locked me in a room with one, I’m sure I could figure it out. I’m less sure that I can pull out of the back of my brain without seeing one. Wasn’t that one of the systems that used a CLX style ServiceProcessor? If so, there was a small panel on the front of the main cabinet with an LCD display and 3 buttons. You would use the buttons to navigate through the configuration and boot menus. You would set the boot configuration and then initiate the boot.

Don't you have to go to an RMI or something and scroll down and hit start system or something like that? Or am I thinking about the prior box?

I need to coldload a K2000 (Yes, 30ish years old) system. Does anyone have a manual or procedure how to do it?
Thanks,
Dave

RBCLX and K1 and K2 series used a small control panel in the first (or only) system cabinet. It had a small 2-line character LCD display, and 3 buttons...
Scroll down, Cancel and Select if I recall, to navigate the functions. There was usually a small helper book attached.
Usually, the panel would load the last SYSNN fairly easily. And somewhere there would be an RS232 (or Current Loop) connection to a 6530.
But j-ma is correct, if it's been sitting around it's probably best to replace the battery first.
