IBM RS/6000 44P manual Privileged User Menus, Main Menu, Read System Post Errors

vRead System POST Errors

Select this item to review the results of the POST (Power-On Self-Test). Your server may be able to start in the presence of POST errors if there are sufficient working system resources. If POST errors occur during startup, this error log, when used with the diagnostics, helps to isolate faults. See page ªSystem POST Errorsº on page 69 for an example of the POST error screen.

vView System Environmental Conditions

With this menu option, the service processor reads all environmental sensors and reports the results to the user. This option can be useful when surveillance fails, because it allows the user to determine the environmental conditions that may be related to the failure. See page 50 for an example of the System Environmental Conditions screen.

Privileged User Menus

The following menus are available to privileged users only. The user must know the privileged access password, if set, to access these menus.

Main Menu

At the top of the Main Menu is a listing containing:

vYour Service Processor's current firmware version

vThe firmware copyright notice

vThe System Name given to your server during setup (optional)

You need the firmware version for reference when you either update or repair the functions of your service processor.

The System Name, an optional field, is the name that your server reports in problem messages. This name helps your support team (for example, your system administrator, network administrator, or service representative) to more quickly identify the location, configuration, and history of your server. The System Name is set from the Main Menu using option 6.

Note: The information under the Service Processor Firmware heading in the following Main Menu illustration is example information only.
