available to all users who are allowed to power-on the server.
v
Enable/Disable Console Mirroring
When Console Mirroring is enabled, the SP sends information to both serial ports. This capability may
be enabled by local or remote users. This provides local users the capability to monitor remote
sessions. Console mirroring may be enabled for the current session only. For more information, see
“Console Mirroring” on page 229.
v
Start Talk Mode
In a console mirroring session, it is useful for those that are monitoring the session to be able to
communicate with each other. Selecting this menu item activates the keyboards and displays for such
communications while console mirroring is established. This is a full duplex link, so message
interference is possible. Alternating messages between users works best.

Your next level of support will instruct you on how to get an update diskette.
The update files must be downloaded to a DOS-formatted diskette. You should format the diskette just
prior to receiving the download, to be sure it is clean. Reformatting is worth the time and effort. When
this process is selected, you are prompted to place the diskette into the drive and to indicate to the
system that the diskette in available and the automatic process starts. If the system has other needs,
you are prompted. See “SP Firmware Updates” on page 230 for additional information and update
methods.
