Starting Firmware
You are ready to begin using the information in this chapter after you have
prepared your service terminal (as described in “Attaching an ASCII Terminal” on
page 3-3) and have established connection with the IBM 2216.
The firmware menu will come up when you power on the 2216 and stop the boot
process by pressing F1. From the menu (as shown in Figure 4-1), you can select
from four services. The following sections explain these services and provide
instructions for using the associated panels:
¹
“Managing the Configuration” on page 4-3.
¹
“Selecting the Boot Sequence” on page 4-5.
¹
“Selecting a Device To Test” on page 4-7.
¹
“Using the Utilities” on page 4-8.

The Function Keys
As seen in Figure 4-1, various function keys appear in the lower part of the panel.
(You can also use the Esc keys in combination with number keys to perform the
functions.) These keys are common among the firmware panels. On other panels,
the function keys are stacked at the right of the panel. Use the F1 Help key (or
Esc - 1) to get descriptions for the function keys associated with the firmware.
Obtaining Help
Online helps are available for panels whenever the F1 key is displayed in the lower
portion of the panel. Pressing F1 presents a pop-up help window with information
relating to the currently active panel.
