Privileged User Menus; Main Menu - IBM RS/6000 44P 270 Service Manual

v Read System POST Errors
Select this item to review the results of the POST (power-on self-test). Your server
may be able to start in the presence of POST errors if there are sufficient working
system resources. If POST errors occur during startup, this error log, when used with
the diagnostics, helps to isolate faults. See "System POST Errors" on page 182 for
an example of the POST error screen.
v View System Environmental Conditions
With this menu option, the service processor reads all environmental sensors and
reports the results to the user. This option can be useful when surveillance fails,
because it allows the user to determine the environmental conditions that may be
related to the failure.

Privileged User Menus

The following menus are available to privileged users only. The user must know the
privileged-access password, if set, to access these menus.

Main Menu

At the top of the Main Menu is a listing containing:
v Your service processor's current firmware version
v The firmware copyright notice
v The system name given to your server during setup (optional)
You need the firmware version for reference when you either update or repair the
functions of your service processor.
The system name, an optional field, is the name that your server reports in problem
messages. This name helps your support team (for example, your system administrator,
network administrator, or service representative) to more quickly identify the location,
configuration, and history of your server. The system name is set from the Main Menu
using option 6.
