This phase is entered upon power-on, and exited upon loading of the
operating system. The Bring-Up phase components are:

The SP checks to see if the previous IPL attempt failed. If two consecutive
fails are detected, the SP displays an error code and places an outgoing
call to notify an external party if the user has enabled this option.

The SP can dial a pre-programmed telephone number in the event of an
IPL failure. The SP issues an error report with the last reported IPL status
indicated and any other available error information.
• Update Operator Panel
The SP displays Operator Panel data on the ASCII terminal if a remote
connection is active.
• Environmental Monitoring
Environmental Monitoring is now controlled by the SP instead of the base
system, with expanded error recording and reporting.

The SP monitors and time the interval between system firmware
heartbeats.
• Responding to System Processor Commands
The SP responds to any command issued by the system processor.
