4. If Sw2 is off, the EPS will print status information to the serial port as it
boots. Attach a console device (we recommend using a terminal) to the
serial port of the server. The default serial port settings are 9600 baud,
8 bit characters, and no parity. You can also attach the parallel port to
a print device at this time.
NOTE: You can change the console device to a printer once you boot the EPS, but we
recommend using a terminal the first time in case the EPS needs configuration
information. After the server is running to your satisfaction, you can replace the
terminal with a printer.
5. If you wish to provide an IP address for the EPS via BOOTP or RARP,
add the EPS to your host's BOOTP/RARP configuration table. See your
host's documentation for details. Many BOOTP hosts will not reply to a
BOOTP request if the download filename in the configuration file is not
available for downloading. If this is the case, you can create a null file in
the download path to get BOOTP to reply.
6. Power up the EPS—plug the AC adapter into the wall and then into
the EPS.
7. The EPS will go through 3 steps to begin normal operation:
1. It will run through a set of power-up diagnostics for approximately
12 seconds. The lower 4 LEDs will show varying patterns
corresponding to the test the EPS is running.
2. It will then try to obtain TCP/IP configuration information via BOOTP
and RARP; this will take approximately 15 seconds if no hosts answer
the requests. During this step, the OK LED will blink approximately 3
times per second and the Network LED will blink occasionally as
network requests are transmitted.
3. The EPS will then check that the code in the Flash-ROMs is valid.
If so, it will load that code and begin normal execution.
