Service Processor Menus
The service processor menus are divided into two 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.
The following section describes these two groups of menus, how to access them, and
the functions associated with each option.
If the server is powered on, the service processor menus can be accessed locally or
remotely.
How to Access Service Processor Menus Locally
Service processor menus can be accessed locally by connecting an ASCII terminal to
either serial port 1 or 2. Because the presence of the ASCII terminal cannot be
confirmed by the service processor, you must press a key (any key) on the ASCII
terminal to confirm its presence. The key on the ASCII terminal must be pressed during
the time when the operator panel display shows the code E07A.
You can recognize when the access time for the service processor menu begins in the
following ways:
v
The checkpoint prior to the access checkpoint is E04F.
v
The system beeps three times as it enters checkpoint E07A.
When you gain access, the service processor prompts you for a password (if set), and
when verified, displays the service processor menus.
The service processor menu prompt, represented by
1>
or
2>
indicates the serial port to
which the terminal is connected. A
1>
indicates serial port 1, and
2>
indicates serial port
2.
How to Access the Service Processor Menus Remotely
If your system has a modem connected and is configured for call-in (see “Modem
Configuration Menu” on page 74), the service processor menus can be accessed
remotely as follows:
1. With the system powered off, call in from a remote terminal. Wait for at least two
rings and hang up. The system powers on upon detecting ring-indicate, and pauses
for a return call if call-in is enabled.
2. Wait five minutes and call in again. The service processor prompts you for a
password (if set). When verified, the service processor menus display remotely.
How to Save and Restore 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.
