3: System Operation
Connecting a System Console to Your System
54
The system console enables you to perform the following activities:
•
Monitor your system by reading the status and error message information that the
L1 and L2 controllers generate.
•
Enter L1 and L2 controller commands to monitor or change particular system
functions. You can, for example, monitor the speed of fans for a particular module.
•
Power on or power off individual modules or all modules (except for the storage
modules) in your system.
•
If you connect a console that contains SGIconsole software, you can perform the
functions listed above and have boundary scan capabilities. Boundary scan
capabilities enable an SGI system support engineer (SSE) to test the functionality of
your system.
