Service Processor Operational Phases
This section provides a high-level flow of the phases of the service processor.
Pre-Standby Phase
This phase is entered when the server is connected to a power source. The server may or may not be
fully powered on. This phase is exited when the power-on self-tests (POSTs) and configurations tasks are
completed.
The pre-standby phase components are:
v Service Processor Initialization - service processor performs any necessary hardware and software
initialization.
v Service Processor POST - service processor conducts power-on self-tests on its various work and code
areas.
v Service Processor Unattended Start Mode Checks - To assist fault recovery. If unattended start mode is
set, the service processor automatically reboots the server. The service processor does not wait for user
input or power-on command, but moves through the phase and into the bring-up phase. Access the
SMS menus or the service processor menus to reset the unattended start mode.
