This command restarts the system by resetting all registers to their default settings and
rebooting the system controllers. Resetting a running system will cause the operating
system to reboot and all memory will be lost.
In console mode, all output from the system is visible and all input is directed to the
system.
To enter console mode from L2, press Ctrl+D at the L2 prompt and observe the
response:
L2> Ctrl+D
entering system console mode (001c05 console0),
<CTRL_T> to escape to L2
.

.
To return to L2 mode from console mode, press Ctrl+T:
Ctrl+T
escaping to L2 system controller

At this point, you can enter any L2 or L1 command. When the command completes, the
L2 returns to console mode:
