Using Remote Video Mode to Monitor and
Access POST:
You can use a terminal program to
remotely monitor all text generated during POST. All
POST data will be displayed in the terminal program
window as the remote system completes POST. While
you are monitoring POST on the remote system, all local
keystrokes are relayed automatically to the remote system,
enabling you to use POST utilities (such as system
configuration, RAID mini-configuration program, or
diagnostic programs) that can be accessed during POST.
To use Remote Video Mode to monitor and access POST
on the server:
1. Use a terminal program to establish a connection with
the System Management processor modem.
2. Log in to the System Management processor.
When you have established a connection with the
System Management processor, you will be prompted
for a user name and password. You must provide a
user name and password combination that has been
previously configured for use with the System
Management processor. You can use one of two
user name and password combinations:
The default user name (USERID) and password
(PASSW0RD)
Note
The default user name and password are
case sensitive. You must use ALL CAPS,
and the "0" in PASSW0RD is the numeral
zero.
A user name and password that you define using
the System Management processor and Netfinity
Manager
Note
The user name and password can also be
defined using the configuration utility. See
"Dial In/Out Settings" on page 65.
