4.3.8 Identify ROM
Unfortunately, as with all complex equipment, problems might arise with your
ServSwitch that require the assistance of technical-support personnel. One of the
things technicians might want to know when they attempt to diagnose and correct
your problem is the revision level of your Switch’s ROM. This command causes the
ServSwitch to send the four-character “UP
xx
” ROM level to the currently selected
CPU as ASCII keyboard data; these characters will be echoed back to the shared
monitor if you are at some type of prompt. (You
must
be at some kind of prompt or
screen capable of displaying typed-in keyboard characters, or you will not see the
Switch’s response.) To issue the Identify ROM command, press and release the left
Control key, then type [I].
4.3.9 Display label
One of the ServSwitch’s graphic-overlay functions is to display the on-screen
“label” window that contains the number and assigned name of the currently selected
CPU (see
Section 5.4.3
). If this label is not on screen, you can use this command to
cause the Switch to display the label for the length of time you have configured for
the label’s “fadeout interval” (see
Section 5.4.3.D
), or, if fadeout is disabled, for
five seconds. (If fadeout is set to 255, the label will be displayed at all times.)
Conversely, if the label is being displayed and you want it to go away, issuing the
Display Label command while the label is on screen will cause it to disappear.
To issue the Display Label command, press and release the left Control key, then
type [D].
4.3.10 Activate on-screen menus
You can use this command to cause the ServSwitch to display its on-screen overlay
menus, beginning with the main menu (see
Section 5.1.1
). To issue the Activate
On-Screen Menus command, press and release the left Control key, then press and
release the [F12] key.
4.3.11 Activate select window
You can use this command to cause the ServSwitch to display its “computer select
window” (see
Section 5.6
). To issue the Activate Select Window command, press
and release the left Control key, then press and release the [Esc] (escape) key.
