IBM H80 Series manual Accessing the Service Processor Menus Locally

Service Processor Menus

The service processor menus are divided into two groups:

Ÿ General user menu - the user must know the general-access password.

Ÿ Privileged user menus - the user must know the privileged-access password.

If the server is powered off, the service processor menus can be accessed remotely.

Accessing the Service Processor Menus Locally

Service processor menus

can be accessed locally by connecting

an

ASCII terminal

to serial port 1 (S1),

serial port 2 (S2), or serial port 3

(S3). Access to th

not

available on serial port 4 (S4). Because

the presence

of

ASCII terminal cannot be confirmed

by the

service

processor,

you must press a k

Accessing the Service Processor Menus Remotely

If your system has a modem connected and is configured for call-in (see “Modem Configuration Menu” on page 54), the service processor menus can be accessed remotely as follows:

1. With the system powered off, call in from a remote terminal.

2.The Service Processor detects ring-indicate and prompts you for a password ( set). When verified, the service processor menus display remotely.

Saving and Restoring Service Processor Settings

All the settings	you make	(except language) from the service processor menus can
be backed up either for		recovering	from	a	fault that may corrupt these settin
