POST Keys

The POST keys, if pressed after the keyboard POST indicator displays and before the
last POST indicator speaker displays, cause the system to start services or to initiate
service mode boots used for configuring the system and diagnosing problems. The keys
are described below:
Note: The program function keys (F1-F12) on a keyboard attached to the I/O drawer

1 Key

The numeric 1 key, when pressed during POST, starts the System Management
Services (SMS) interface.
5 Key
The numeric 5 key, when pressed during POST, initiates a system boot in service mode
using the default service mode boot list.
This mode attempts to boot from the first device of each type found in the list. It does
not search for other bootable devices of that type if the first device is not bootable.
Instead, it continues to the next device type in the list. The firmware supports up to five
entries in the boot list.
The default boot sequence is:
1. Diskette
2. CD-ROM
3. Hard file
4. Tape drive (if installed)
5. Network
a. Token ring
b. Ethernet
6 Key
The numeric 6 key works like the numeric 5 key, except that firmware uses the
customized service mode bootlist that was set up in System Management Services or in
the AIX service aids.
Initialize the keyboard and mouse. The time period for pressing a key
to access the System Management Services, or to boot from a
particular boot list, is now open. See "POST Keys" for more
information.

Sounds an audible tone at the end of POST
are not used and will be ignored. After the keyboard POST indicator displays,
you must use the numeric number keys to enter input.
