Service Processor Menus
The service processor menus are divided into the following groups:
v
General user menus - the user must know the general-access password.
v
Privileged user menus - the user must know the privileged-access password.
This section describes these menus, how to access them, and the functions associated
with each option within the menus.
When the system is powered off, the service processor menus can be accessed locally
or remotely.
Service Processor Menu Inactivity
To prevent loss of control in unstable power environments, the service processor leaves
the menu mode after five minutes of inactivity. Return to the menus by pressing any key
on the local or remote terminal.
Accessing Service Processor Menus Locally
Service processor menus can be accessed locally by connecting an ASCII terminal to
either serial port 1 (S1) or serial port 2 (S2). The service processor menus cannot be
accessed on serial port 3 (S3). Because the presence of the ASCII terminal cannot be
confirmed by the service processor, you must press a key on the ASCII terminal to
confirm its presence. After
OK
displays on the operator panel, the service processor
prompts you for a password (if set), and when verified, displays the service processor
menus.
Accessing Service Processor Menus Remotely
Service processor menus can be accessed remotely by connecting a modem to serial
port 1 or serial port 2, as follows:
1. Turn off the system, unplug the power cord, and press the Power button to drain
capacitance while power is disconnected.
2. Connect the modem to the appropriate serial port and turn on the modem.
3. Plug in the system.
Notes:
1. If your modem has not been configured, go to “Call-In/Call-Out Setup Menu” on
page 195. With a terminal or terminal emulator, call the system’s modem.
2. The service processor prompts you for a password (if set), and when verified,
displays the service processor menus.
Saving and Restoring Service Processor Settings
All the settings you make (except language) from the service processor menus can be
backed up either for recovering from a fault that may corrupt these settings, or for
replicating these settings to other servers that include a service processor.
