If that does not work, and there is at least a garbled output on the screen, try pushing the unlabelled system request button on the switch. As soon as garbled characters appear, press the console’s RETURN key twice in rapid succession. (Again, try the other command keys as necessary).

If there is still a problem, try the following steps:

1.Check all of the cable connections.

2.Check the baud rate at the console’s set up screen; if it is not set to 9600, try that setting.

3.Try setting the console baud rate to different values up or down, and pressing RETURN for each selection.

4.If you are using a terminal emulation program, try exiting the program and restarting.

5.If you still can not get the connection to work, contact technical support as described in Chapter 11, “Getting in Touch with Technical Support” .

Diagnostic Screen

The diagnostic self-test displays two different screens (lists of information), depending on whether you perform a cold boot (power on cycle with full diagnostics), or a warm boot (a reset without full diagnostics).

During a cold boot, the following abbreviated list is an example of messages (depending upon several factors, such as hardware, options, software version levels) that appears on the console screen as the tests are performed. The warm boot contains portions of the complete cold boot list.

The following is an example of a diagnostic screen during a boot process (the actual screen may vary depending on such things as hardware, options, software version levels and other factors):
