-
B
at the system console.

SP
to enter the Service Processor interface.
4. Enter

at the SP prompt.
5. To see a record of errors:
a. If the "Latest Errors" log has entries, enter
L
.
b. If the "Latest Errors" log has no entries, enter

"Latest Errors" log only has entries if the "Earliest Errors" log is full.)
6. To see a history of system activity, enter
A
7. Use the
CL
(Clear Log) command at the SP prompt to clear the error logs for the
customer.
If the ATTENTION LED on the front panel was ON because of an unread error entry,
performing this procedure will turn the LED OFF.
Checking the Autostart Flag
Check the autostart flag to make sure it is set to a value suitable for the customer's
system.
If the autostart flag is set, the computer startup process continues even if processor or
memory modules are scheduled to be de-configured (for example if they fail selftest).
If the autostart flag is cleared, the computer startup process halts at the SP prompt if
processor or memory modules are scheduled for de-configuration.
The autostart flag described here is different from the autoboot flag which can be modified
from the PDC interface. The PDC autoboot flag allows the OS to boot automatically upon
power-up.
