SRC A900 2000 should not appear on the control panel when the IPL completes. If SRC A900 2000 does appear and you are using Operations Console, you must perform an IPL in Manual mode (M) on the system to arrive at the Dedicated Service Tools (DST). Then, in DST, set the console mode system value to Operations Console, and continue the IPL to sign on.

To set the system to manual mode, do the following:

vFor systems without logical partitions, see the Changing operating modes and IPL types topic in the Information Center under System hardware -> Restarting the system (IPL) -> IPL type.

vFor systems with logical partitions, see the Changing operating mode for a logical partition topic in the Information Center under Systems

Management -> Logical partitions -> Managing logical partitions -> Restarting and powering down a system with logical partitions.
