Standby Phase:

 

The standby phase can be

reached

in either of two ways:

Ÿ

With

the

server

off

and

power

connected

(the

normalOK path),in

recognized

by

 

the

LCD

display.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

OR

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ÿ

With

the

server on after an operating

system

fault,

recognized by an

8-digit

 

in

the

LCD

display.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In

the

Standby phase,

the

SP takes

care

of

some

automatic duties and is availa

for

menus

operation.

The

SP remains in the

standby

phase

until a

power-on

request

is

detected.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Standby phase components are as follows:

Ÿ Modem Configuration

 

 

 

Service Processor

configures the

modem

(if installed) so that incoming calls can

be received, or

outgoing calls

can be

placed.

ŸDial In

Monitor incoming phone line to answer calls, prompt for a password, verify the

password, and remotely display the standby menu. The remote session can be mirrored on the local ASCII console if the server is so equipped and the us enables this function.

ŸMenus

The Service Processor menus are password-protected. Before you can access them, you need either General User (Power-On Password or POP) or Privileged User (Privileged Access Password or PAP).

Bring-Up Phase:

This phase is entered upon power-on, and exited upon loading

of the

operating system.

The bring-up phase components are as follows:

ŸRetry Request Check

The Service Processor checks to see if the previous boot attempt failed. If specified number of failures are detected, the SP displays an error code a places an outgoing call to notify an external party if the user has enabled option.

ŸDial Out

The Service Processor

can dial

a preprogrammed telephone number in the event

of an IPL failure. The Service

Processor

issues an

error report with the last

reported IPL status

indicated

and any other available error information.
