IBM RS/6000 44P manual Text-Based System Management Services, Display Configuration

Text-Based System Management Services

The text-based Open Firmware command line and System Management Services are available if an ASCII terminal is attached to your system unit. The text-based Open Firmware command line allows you to configure some adapters, and the System Management Services makes it possible for you to view information about your system unit and to perform such tasks as setting passwords and changing device configurations.

To start the text-based System Management Services instead of the Open Firmware command line, press the number 1 key on the ASCII terminal keyboard when the keyboard text symbol displays during startup. After the text-based System Management Services starts, the following screen displays.

Note: The version of firmware currently installed in your system unit is displayed at the top of each screen in the text-based System Management Services. Note the version number. Processor and other device upgrades may require the specified version of firmware to be installed in your system unit. Update System Firmware is an option under the Utilities menu.
