Changing system operation mode
In the unlikely event that a OpenPower 710 server is suspended and you cannot perform a
power down of the CEC, use function 08 for a fast power off, if the system is not connected to
a HMC.
Note: Function 08 is enabled only when the system operating mode is in Manual and the
system power is on. By default the operating mode is set to Normal, which means you
cannot use the white power button to power-off the system.
To change the operating mode of the system to Manual (M) do the following steps:
1. Use the Increment or Decrement buttons to scroll to function 02.
2. Press Enter to start function 02.
– The current OS IPL type is displayed with a pointer.
– The current system operating mode is displayed.
– The current firmware mode is displayed.
Note: The following current firmware modes are possible:
Normal (N)
Manual (M)
3. Use the Increment or Decrement buttons to scroll through the OS IPL types until the
firmware mode is displayed with a pointer:
0 2 _ _ A _ _ N < _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ P _ _
4. Press Enter to select the system operating mode:
0 2 _ _ A _ _ M < _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ P _ _
5. Use the Increment or Decrement buttons to scroll through the firmware IPL modes
(optional).
6. Press Enter to select the firmware IPL mode and exit function 02.
