    Safety Notices A danger notice indicates the presence of a hazard that has the potential of causing death or serious personal injury. Danger notices appear on the following pages: v 76 v 77 v 243 v 287 A caution notice indicates the presence of a hazard that has the potential of causing moderate or minor personal injury.
  • Page 12: Electrical Safety

    Electrical Safety Observe the following safety instructions any time you are connecting or disconnecting devices attached to the workstation. In the system you are about to setup or service: v The ac power interface connector is considered the main power disconnect device. v This system has redundant power supply capabilities, meaning that it has the ability to have two power supplies running simultaneously in the same system unit.
  • Page 13: Laser Safety Information

    CAUTION: All IBM laser modules are designed so that there is never any human access to laser radiation above a class 1 level during normal operation, user maintenance, or prescribed service conditions. Data processing environments can contain equipment transmitting on system links with laser modules that operate at greater than class 1 power levels.

    Data Integrity and Verification IBM computer systems contain mechanisms designed to reduce the possibility of undetected data corruption or loss. This risk, however, cannot be eliminated. Users who experience unplanned outages, system failures, power fluctuations or outages, or component failures must verify the accuracy of operations performed and data saved or transmitted by the system at or near the time of the outage or failure.

    Boot Problems/Concerns Depending on the boot device, a checkpoint may be displayed on the operator panel for an extended period of time while the boot image is retrieved from the device. This is particularly true for tape and network boot attempts. If booting from CD-ROM or tape, watch for activity on the drive’s LED indicator. A blinking LED indicates that the loading of either the boot image or additional information required by the operating system being booted is still in progress.

    Chapter 6. Using the Online and Standalone Diagnostics The AIX diagnostics consist of online diagnostics and standalone diagnostics. Attention: The AIX operating system must be installed in order to run online diagnostics. If the AIX operating system is not installed, use the standalone diagnostic procedures. Online diagnostics, when they are installed, reside with AIX in the file system.
  • Page 204: Online Diagnostics Modes Of Operation

    Online Diagnostics Modes of Operation Note: Online diagnostics can only be run if AIX is installed. The online diagnostics can be run in the following modes: v Service Mode v Concurrent Mode v Maintenance Mode Service Mode Service mode provides the most complete checkout of the system resources. This mode also requires that no other programs are running.
  • Page 205: Concurrent Mode

    If all types of devices in the boot list have been polled without finding a bootable image, the system restarts. This action gives the user the opportunity to start the System Management Services (by pressing the number 1 key on a directly attached keyboard or the number 1 on an ASCII terminal) before the system attempts to boot again.
  • Page 206: Maintenance Mode

    The diag command is then used to invoke the diagnostic controller so you can run the diagnostics. After the diagnostic controller is loaded, follow the normal diagnostic instructions. Documentation for the AIX operating system is available from the IBM Eserver pSeries Information Center at http://publib16.boulder.ibm.com/pseries/en_US/infocenter/base. Select AIX documentation. The AIX Documentation CD contains the base set of publications for the operating system, including system-management and end-user documentation.

    Chapter 7. Using the Service Processor The service processor runs on its own power boundary and continually monitors hardware attributes and the environmental conditions within the system. The service processor is controlled by firmware and does not require the operating system to be operational to perform its tasks. The service processor menus allow you to configure service processor options, as well as enable and disable functions.

    The service aid, Save or Restore Hardware Management Policies, can be used to save your settings after initial setup or whenever the settings must be changed for system operation purposes.

  • Page 344: Customizing The Modem Configuration Files

    Customizing the Modem Configuration Files You can create your own modem configuration files or modify the samples provided. After you customize your modem configuration files, you must access them through the Configure Remote Maintenance Policy Service Aid rather than from the service processor menus. Note: If you have already set up your serial ports, line speeds, authorizations, and telephone numbers from the service processor menus, use the service aid to specify your customized modem configuration files.

    IBM 7852-400 DIP Switch Settings If you are using a 7852-400 modem to enable service processor communications, for proper operation, the dual inline package (DIP) switches must be set according to the following table: Switch Position Function Force DTR Flow Control &E4...
  • Page 346: Ring Detection

    Ring Detection Most modems produce an interrupt request each time they detect a ring signal. Some modems generate an interrupt only on the first ring signal that they receive. AT&T DataPort 2001 is an example of such a modem. The service processor uses the ring interrupt request to count the number of rings when Ring Indicate Power-On (RIPO) is enabled.
  • Page 347: Transfer Of A Modem Session

    Transfer of a Modem Session Because many modem command variations exist, the sample modem configuration files located at the end of this appendix have been written to capture the largest number of workable modem settings. The modem command &Dn (where n is a number) generally sets the modem response to the Data Terminal Ready (DTR) signal from the server’s serial port.
  • Page 348: Recovery Strategy

    Recovery Strategy The recovery strategy consists of making two calls to establish a remote session. This solution is the easiest to implement and allows more freedom for configuring your server’s serial ports. To set up a remote terminal session, dial into the service processor and start the system. After the operating system is loaded and initialized, the connection will be dropped.
