Startup and Exit of System Diagnostics
There are two ways to diagnose the server: to use the local console (keyboard) of the server itself,
and to use the management PC via serial port (remote console).
IMPORTANT: Two methods of LAN and the serial port are mentioned
in "NEC EXPRESSBUILDER" of Chapter 6 "Installing and Using
Utilities" in the way of communicating in remote console.
Use the serial port to execute System Diagnostics with remote console.
The LAN connection is not for System Diagnostics.
Procedures to start the diagnostics program are as follows:
1.
Shutdown the OS, and power off the server. Then, unplug the power cord.
2.
Disconnect all the LAN cables from the server.
3.
Plug the power cord and power on the server.
4.
Use the NEC EXPRESSBUILDER CD-ROM to start the system.
The step which the step which local console of the server is used for, and remote console
are used for is different. Refer to "NEC EXPRESSBUILDER" of Chapter 6 "Installing
and Using Utilities", to start the system properly. The following menu is displayed on the
screen, when starting the system from the NEC EXPRESSBUILDER.
