4-2 CHAPTER 4: CONFIGURATION
2Configure the terminal to 9600 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.
These instructions assume the default firmware configuration. If you have used firmware configuration commands to change the baud rate or to select a different console port, modify the instructions accordingly.
3Make sure that there is no diskette in the server’s disk drive (Model CS/2600 only) and that the server cannot use a network boot source (an RBCS or TFTP/FTP server).
If a diskette is in the disk drive, remove it. If the communications server is configured to use a network boot source, disconnect it from the network, or make sure that it is not listed in the boot database of an RBCS or TFTP/FTP server. To determine whether the server is in the boot database of an RBCS server, refer to the Remote Boot and Configuration Services User’s Guide .
4Turn on the unit or, if it is already on, press the reset switch on the front panel to reboot.
CAUTION: Do not press the hardware interrupt switch in the next step while the Self Test LED is on. Doing so can corrupt memory or firmware configurations. This LED can take up to a minute to go out.
5After the Self Test LED has gone out, press the hardware interrupt switch on the left side panel to enter monitor mode.
WARNING: Use only a nonconductive object such as a plastic stylus to press the hardware interrupt switch. Do not use the tip of a pencil. Graphite particles can cause electrical shock to the operator and can damage components on the server’s boards.
The hardware interrupt switch is recessed into the left side panel (as you face the front panel) and can be reached through the small round hole in the rear air intake vent.
6Wait about five seconds, then press the Return key on the terminal keyboard.
The monitor greeting appears, followed by the monitor prompt (>):
