Remotely Booting the Server from the Service Partition
You can remotely boot the server from the service partition using the DPC Console Manager or
Client SSU. Select “Reboot to Service Partition” in the DPC Console Manager or boot to the
service partition by launching the Client SSU.
The server’s operating system will automatically be shutdown prior to booting into the service
partition. Exiting the DPC Console Manager or Client SSU will exit the service partition and will
reboot the server’s operating system.
Configuring the Server for EMP Access
To take advantage of DPC and CSSU features, the Emergency Management Port (EMP) and
console redirection settings must be configured using the Server System Setup Utility (Server
SSU). The EMP is accessed through the server’s COM 2 port by a direct or modem connection.
