Testing the Setup
This section contains sample testing procedures to help ensure your setup is working.
These tests include communicating with the server operating system. Before you start, ensure that the
necessary serial port(s) is configured. If you need assistance, refer to "Serial Port Configuration" on page
147.
The server should be powered off as a result of the "Service Processor Setup Checklist" on page 145.
Testing Call-In
1. Go to your remote terminal and call in to your server. Your server answers and offers you the service
processor Main Menu after requesting your privileged access password.
2. Select System Power Control.
3. Select Power-On System.
When you are asked if you wish to continue powering on the system, type Y.
4. After the system firmware and operating system have initialized the server, the login prompt displays at
your remote terminal if you set up seamless modem transfer. This may take several minutes. When the
login prompt displays, you have successfully called the service processor.
5. Type logout to disconnect from the operating system. The message No Carrier displays on your
remote terminal.
6. Call your server again. The operating system answers and offers you the login prompt. If these tests
are successful, call-in is working.
