10.7 System Restart
To verify the SBus cards, SuperSPARC Modules, SIMMs, OpenBoot PROMs, or
system boards are installed properly, run the power-on self-test program
(POST), as follows:
1. Turn on power to the monitor.
If the system does not have a monitor, connect an RS232 TTY terminal to
serial port A on the system master. The system master is the system board
occupying the lowest-numbered card cage slot (usually slot 0.)
2. Configure the terminal software.
The most commonly-used setup is as follows:
•
9600 baud
•
1 stop bit
•
8 data bits
•
Parity off
•
Full duplex
Refer to the instruction manual shipped with the terminal for additional
configuration instructions.
Note – The listed setup parameters may differ from the customer site settings.
These parameters can be changed in the NVRAM.
3. Turn the front panel key switch to On to boot the system and run normal
system diagnostics.
Watch the diagnostics display for error messages regarding newly installed
or replaced hardware.
After diagnostics are completed, POST configures the system to utilize all
available processors and options.
4. Watch the boot display to confirm all processors and newly installed or
replaced hardware are recognized.
5. After the system finishes booting, a login prompt is displayed.
Log in and resume operation.
