Service Processor Menus
The service processor menus are divided into two groups:
General user menu - the user must know the general-access password.
Privileged user menus - the user must know the privileged-access password.
If the server is powered off, the service processor menus can be accessed locally or
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 the service
processor menus is not available on serial port 4 (S4). Because the presence of the
ASCII terminal cannot be confirmed by the service processor, you must press a key
(any key) on the ASCII keyboard to confirm its presence after OK appears in the
primary drawer operator panel display.
When you gain access, the service processor prompts you for a password (if set),
and when verified, displays the service processor menus.
The service processor menu prompt, represented by ð>, 1> or 2> indicates the serial
port to which the terminal is connected.
ð> indicates serial port 1 (S1)
1> indicates serial port 2 (S2)
2> indicates serial port 3 (S3)
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 (if
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 settings, or for
replicating these settings to other servers that include a service processor.
