Start the system using a manual IPL

instructions assume the server is powered off. If the server is powered on, use one of the various
methods available to start the manual IPL.
To perform a manual IPL, follow these steps:
1. Look at the Function/Data display on the iSeries control panel.
Systems with a keystick should show the mode as Manual and 01 B in the Function/Data display.
Systems without a keystick should show as 01 BM in the Function/Data display.
2. If the system is in Manual mode and will IPL on the B side, then go to step 8. If the system is not in
Manual mode or not set to IPL on the B side, then continue with step 3.
3. If the Function/Data display lit, then, continue with step 4.
If the Function/Data display is not lit, do the following before calling your hardware service
representative:
v Confirm that the electrical outlet is functioning by plugging in a suitable device for the voltage.
v Ensure that the power cord is securely plugged into the system unit and electrical outlet.
4. Press the Up or Down button until 02 appears in the Function/Data display.
Note: If your system uses a keystick, insert it now and select Manual by using the Mode button.
5. Press the Enter button on the iSeries control panel.
6. Press the Up or Down button until B M appears in the Function/Data display. If your system uses a
keystick, select B. The Function/Data display should show 02 B.
7. Press the Enter button on the iSeries control panel.
8. Press the Power button on the iSeries control panel.

enough to continue with these instructions. You should see that the data changes in the
Function/Data display. The last step of the IPL may take 5 minutes to complete before the Attention
light is turned on.
