Figure 48. Set Power-On Features Screen

Serial-PortPower-On Mode: This option allows you to start the server using a modem. When this option is enabled, the server starts when the modem detects an incoming call on the attached phone line.

Real-Time Clock Power-On Mode: When this option is enabled, the server will turn on when the present time matches the day and time values you have entered.

If you want the server to start only on a certain day of the month, type the date in the space provided. If you want the server to start every day, you must leave this field without a date. Figure 48 shows an example where the server will be powered on the fifth day of every month at 12:00 PM.

System Error Restart: When the system-error restart feature is enabled, the server can automatically restart in situations that would normally result in the server stopping or locking up.

3.4.7 Test the Computer

This option is the primary method of testing the system. It can be used to test both the internal components of the system as well as the keyboard and some external devices. The amount of time required to test all components depends on the number of components. The more optional adapters and devices you have attached to the server, the longer the testing takes.

If you can not determine whether a problem is caused by the hardware or by software, you can run the diagnostic programs to confirm that the hardware is working properly. If a hardware problem is detected, an error message appears explaining the cause of the problem and the action to take.

Note

If you start the system programs from the reference diskette and select this option, a message prompts you to insert the diagnostic diskette.
