System Component Information

The Precis SD displays system information in its splash screen* for diagnostic purposes. The information indicates the current status and well-being of the system components.

~scr! [1:Enclosure] AutoPatch Precis-500

[2:Storage Blocks] cleared [3:Communication Interfaces] count = 3 [4:Hardware Boards] detected

[5:VM Configuration] count = 3

Command entered to display minimal information for all system components

The system components’ identity numbers are to the left of each component

FIG. 25 Example of a Precis SD splash screen

The splash screen can be accessed using a terminal emulation program, such as HyperTerminal

(see page 21). One of four verbosity** settings is specified to provide a level of detail for information on five system components. Only one verbosity setting and one component setting can be entered in a command. The order in which these two settings are entered is interchangeable.

Note: In a multi-enclosure system, the splash screen displays information only for the enclosure that is connected directly to the PC.

*AMX reserves the right to add to the contents of the splash screen at any time, without notice.

**Verbosity (i.e., wordiness) refers to the amount of information provided; the higher the verbosity setting, the more information is displayed.
