Service Processor Menus

The Service Processor menus are divided into two groups:

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

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

The	following section		describes these two groups of menus, how to access them,
and	the	functions associated with each option.
When	the	server is	powered down, the Service Processor menus may be accessed
locally or		remotely.

Menu Inactivity

To prevent loss of control in unstable	power environments, the		Service Processor
leaves the menu mode after 5 minutes	of	inactivity. Menus may	be resumed by
pressing any key on the terminal, local	or	remote.

menus

locally

Service

Processor

menus may be

locally

by

connecting

an

ASCII

terminal

to

serial

port. Because the presence of the ASCII terminal cannot be

confirmed

by

the

Service

Processor, you

must press

a

key on

the

ASCII

terminal

confirm

its

presence. Next

the Service Processor prompts you for a password (if

set), and

when

verified,

displays the Service

Processor

menus.

How

to

access

Service

Processor

menus

remotely

Service Processor menus may be accessed remotely by connecting a modem to serial port 1 or serial port 2.

ŸPower off the server, unplug the power cord, and press the power button to

capacitance while power is disconnected.

Ÿ Connect the modem to the appropriate serial port and turn the modem on.

ŸPlug in the server.

Note:	If	your modem	has	not	been configured, go	to	“CALL-IN/CALL-OUT SETUP
MENU”	on	page 4-16.
With	a	terminal or terminal emulator, call the server's					modem. The Service
Processor		prompts you	for	a	password (if set),	and	when verified, displays the

Service Processor menus.
