System Information Menu - IBM H80 User Manual

– Service Mode Boot from Default List
This selection is similar to "Service Mode Boot from Saved List", except the
system boots from the default boot list that is stored in the system firmware. This
is normally used to try to boot customer diagnostics from the CD-ROM drive.
Using this option to boot the system is the preferred way to run standalone
diagnostics.
– Boot to Open Firmware
When this selection is enabled, the system boots to the open firmware prompt.

v Read VPD Image from Last System Boot
Displays manufacturer's vital product data (VPD), such as serial numbers, part
numbers, and so on, that were stored during the system boot prior to the one in
progress now.
v Read Progress Indicators from Last System Boot
Displays a number of the boot progress indicators, which may include service
processor checkpoints, IPL checkpoints, and/or AIX configuration codes, from the
previous system boot. This information can be useful in diagnosing system faults.
The progress indicator codes are listed from top (latest) to bottom (oldest).
This information is not stored in nonvolatile storage. If the system is powered down
using the power-on button on the operator panel, this information is retained. If the
ac power is disconnected from the system, this information will be lost. For an
example, refer to "LCD Progress Indicator Log" on page 57.
