Text-Based System Management Services
The text-based Open Firmware command line and System Management Services are
available if an ASCII terminal is attached to your system unit. The text-based Open
Firmware command line allows you to configure some adapters, and the System
Management Services makes it possible for you to view information about your system
unit and to perform such tasks as setting passwords and changing device
configurations.
To start the text-based System Management Services instead of the Open Firmware
command line, press the number 1 key on the ASCII terminal keyboard when the
keyboard text symbol displays during startup. After the text-based System Management
Services starts, the following screen displays.
Note: The version of firmware currently installed in your system unit is displayed at the
top of each screen in the text-based System Management Services. Note the
version number. Processor and other device upgrades may require the specified
version of firmware to be installed in your system unit. Update System Firmware
is an option under the Utilities menu.
After you have finished using the text-based System Management Services, type x (for
exit) to start your system unit.The x takes you back to the prior screen.
