The Boot Console Interface
Configuring the Console Path and Display Format
If you are using a terminal (RS-232C) display, the message prompts you
to press
Esc on the console keyboard, as follows:
Press ESC to select this device as the CONSOLE
OR
If you are using a monitor (graphics) display, the message prompts you
to enter a number, N, as follows:
Press N to select this CONSOLE, then press
[Enter/Return]
In either case, the action must be taken within about seven seconds in order
to select the set of console display protocols which that particular screen rep-
resents. Press the indicated number key when the message displays clearly
and is the font size you want.
In both cases, after you have indicated your selection, you will be asked to
confirm the selection by the following prompt:
Press ESC to confirm
If you don’t take any action, after seven seconds, the message cycles to the
next set of display parameters, displaying the same message again.
If you take one of the actions (press Esc or type N) and confirm it by press-
ing
Esc, the system then attempts to boot. To save this setting, discontinue
the boot process by pressing
Esc and setting the console path using the
Path Configuration menu.
Setting the Console Path
If you are using a graphics display or if you are changing from graphics to a
RS-232C display mode, you need to set the Console Path. Follow these steps
to set the console path:
1 From the Main Menu, access the Console Path screen by entering the
following:
2 Enter
The system displays the Path Configuration menu.
