IBM RS/6000 Server User Manual


 
Chapter 3. Service Processor Menus
The Service Processor menus enable you to configure Service Processor options
and to enable and disable functions.
Service Processor menus are available using an ASCII terminal when the server is
powered off and the Service Processor is operating with standby power. Service
Processor menus are also available when server power is on and the Service
Processor has detected a server problem (such as loss of surveillance).
During the first power up (i.e. power cord is plugged into the outlet), Service
Processor menus are not available for 45 seconds while the Service Processor is
running self-tests and initializing the server. If the server powers down, Service
Processor menus become available after 15 seconds.
For a summary of the Service Processor functions and the methods for invoking
them, see the table on page 3-2.
