Service Terminal General Information

This section covers the general information on the service terminal hardware and its operation.

Service Terminal Overview

The service terminal provides the human interface necessary to service the 2105 subsystem.
The service terminal connects to cluster bay 1 or 2, in a 2105 Model Exx/Fxx, with the service terminal
cable. This cable connects the serial port, on the service terminal, to the S2 connector on the front of
cluster bay 1 or 2. The service terminal is powered by its external AC adapter, connected to customer
provided AC. The service terminal may have internal batteries that it can operate on but this is not
recommended.
The service terminal can be either an IBM3151 ASCII terminal or a workstation that is running an IBM3151
ASCII terminal emulator program.

Entry Point for All Service Terminal Activities

Following initial setup, the service terminal can operate in the two menu options shown below, depending
on the state of the cluster or the options chosen by the service support representative:
