Console go directly to the server, and the DPC Console displays the text that you would normally see on the server console.

To use this mode, you must configure the Console Redirection option of BIOS Setup for Re-direct mode. Enabling Console Redirection requires that the Boot Time Diagnostics Screen be Enabled in BIOS Setup. If the redirection window does not display information, the Console Redirection is either incorrectly configured or disabled, the EMP is disabled in BIOS Setup, or the server is in protected mode. For DPC to function, the server must NOT be in graphics mode.

If the DPC console fails to connect in EMP within 10 seconds and the server can operate in Re-direct mode, a prompt is displayed with the option to switch to Re-direct mode.

Service Partition mode. Entered when the server reboots from the service partition and the DPC Console has successfully connected to the server through a modem. This mode allows running of DOS-based programs that are stored on the service partition and transferring of files.

Running the DPC Console

For more information about setting up and running the DPC Console, see the document named "ENUDPCUG.pdf.” This document is in the Manuals\SrvMgmt directory on the server software kit accompanying the SCB2 server board.

Using the System Setup Utility

The System Setup Utility (SSU) is located on the SCB2 System Resource CD-ROM shipped with the server board. The SSU provides a graphical user interface (GUI) over an extensible framework for server configuration. For the SCB2 systems, the SSU framework supports the following functions and capabilities:

Allows configuration of Sever Management options

Allows you to specify boot device order and system security options

Permits viewing and clearing of the system’s critical event log

Allows troubleshooting of the server when the OS is not operational

Allows you to view the system’s Sensor Data Records and Field Replaceable Unit information
