IBM xSeries 236 Type 8841: User's Guide
Important: The server might malfunction if these options are incorrectly
configured. Follow the instructions on the screen carefully.
This choice is on the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu only.
– System Partition Visibility
Select this choice to specify whether the System Partition is to be visible or
hidden.
– PCI Slot/Device Information
Select this choice to view the system resources that are used by installed PCI
or PCI-X devices.
– Memory Settings
Select this choice to manually enable a pair of memory connectors. If a
memory error is detected during POST or memory configuration, the server
automatically disables the failing pair of memory connectors and continues
operating with reduced memory. After the problem is corrected, you must
manually enable the memory connectors. Use the arrow keys to highlight the
pair of memory connectors that you want to enable, and use the arrow keys to
select Enable.
– CPU Options
Select this choice to specify whether the serial number in the microprocessor
is to be readable. You can also disable the microprocessor cache or set it to
use the write-back or write-through method. Write-back caching generally
provides better system performance.
– PCI Bus Control
Select this choice to view and set interrupts for PCI devices and to configure
the master-latency-timer value for the server.
– Integrated System Management Processor Settings
Select this choice to enable or disable the Reboot on System NMI option on
the menu. If you enable this option, the server will automatically restart 60
seconds after the service processor issues a nonmaskable interrupt (NMI) to
the server. If you disable this option, the server will not restart. Enable is the
default setting.
Select this choice to view or clear error logs.
– POST Error Log
Select this choice to view the three most recent error codes and messages
that were generated during POST. Select Clear error logs to clear the POST
error log.
– System Event/Error Log
Select this choice to view the System Event/Error log, which contains all
system error and warning messages that have been generated. Use the arrow
keys to move between pages in the log. If an optional IBM Remote Supervisor
Adapter II SlimLine is installed, the full text of the error messages is
displayed; otherwise, the log contains only numeric error codes. Run the
diagnostic program to get more information about error codes that occur. See
the Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide on the IBM
xSeries Documentation CD for instructions. Select Clear error logs to clear
the System Event/Error log.
