148     Maintaining and Troubleshooting the Gateway ALR 9200 Server

Displaying a Given Area

When the utility is run with the -d DMI, -d FRU, or -d SDR command line 
flag, the indicated area is displayed. Each area represents one sensor for 
each instrumented device in the server. If the given display function fails 
because of an inability to parse the data present or a hardware failure, the 
utility displays an error message and exits.

Displaying the DMI Area

Each DMI area displayed is headed with the DMI area designated name. In 
each area, each field has a field name header followed by the field in ASCII 
or as a number.

Example:

To display the DMI area, type 

frusdr -d dmi

 and press 

E

NTER

Displaying the FRU Area

The FRU area is displayed in ASCII format when the field is ASCII or as a 
number when the field is a number. Each FRU area displayed is headed 
with the FRU area designated name. Each field has a field name header 
followed by the field in ASCII or as a number. The board, chassis, and 
product FRU areas end with an END OF FIELDS CODE that indicates 
there are no more data in the area. The internal use area is displayed in hex 
format, 16 bytes per line. 

Example:

To display the FRU area, type 

frusdr -d fru

 and press 

E

NTER

.

Displaying the SDR Area

The SDR nonvolatile storage area is displayed in hex format. The data are 
separated by a sensor record number X header, where X is the number of 
that sensor record in the SDR area. The next line after the header is the 
sensor record data in hex format delineated by spaces. Each line holds up to
