Service Processor MenusThe service processor menus are divided into the following groups:v General user menus - the user must know the general-access password.v Privileged user menus - the user must know the privileged-access password.This section describes these menus, how to access them, and the functions associatedwith each option within the menus.When the system is powered off, the service processor menus can be accessed locallyor remotely.Service Processor Menu InactivityTo prevent loss of control in unstable power environments, the service processor leavesthe menu mode after five minutes of inactivity. Return to the menus by pressing any keyon the local or remote terminal.Accessing Service Processor Menus LocallyService processor menus can be accessed locally by connecting an ASCII terminal toeither serial port 1 (S1) or serial port 2 (S2). The service processor menus cannot beaccessed on serial port 3 (S3).

After OK displays on the operator panel, the service processorprompts you for a password (if set), and when verified, displays the service processormenus.Accessing Service Processor Menus RemotelyService processor menus can be accessed remotely by connecting a modem to serialport 1 or serial port 2, as follows:1. Turn off the system, unplug the power cord, and press the Power button to draincapacitance while power is disconnected.2. Connect the modem to the appropriate serial port and turn on the modem.3. Plug in the system.Notes:1. If your modem has not been configured, go to “Call-In/Call-Out Setup Menu” onpage 200. With a terminal or terminal emulator, call the system’s modem.2. The service processor prompts you for a password (if set), and when verified,displays the service processor menus.Saving and Restoring Service Processor SettingsAll the settings you make (except language) from the service processor menus can bebacked up either for recovering from a fault that may corrupt these settings, or forreplicating these settings to other servers that include a service processor.184 Service Guide
