Chapter 7. Using the Service Processor

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
turned 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 (that is, the 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 below.
