Appendix A. Service Processor Operation Connection

Attention: The service processor functions should only be used when directed by this maintenance
package or the next level of support. Unguided use of the service processor functions can have
unexpected results.
Do the following steps to activate Cluster Bay Service Processor Operations:
Attention: The 2105 and cable in this procedure are ESD-sensitive. Always wear an ESD wrist strap
during this procedure. Follow the ESD procedures in "Install and Remove" in chapter 4 of the Enterprise
Storage Server Service Guide, Volume 2.
1. Set the service terminal on the 2105 service table and start the appropriate terminal emulator (i.e.
EBTERM for OS/2 or NetTerm for Windows).
Use "Service Terminal Setup and 2105 Configuration Verification" on page 54 to prepare the service
terminal for service and to verify that the service terminal has been initialized to service the 2105.
2. Set the terminal emulator to the Direct Connect mode:
v OS/2 Operating System:
a. At the EBTERM window, select and click on the Modify menu option.
b. At the Modify menu, verify that Direct Connect Mode has a check mark next to it. Set all
other check marks on this menu off.
Note: Single click to set check marks on or off.
c. Go to step 3.
v Windows Operating System, at the NetTerm window, single click on File and then Phone
Directory
– If the Phone Directory displays IBM 2105 VSS/ESS (Direct Connect, IBM3151 emulation),
the service terminal is setup to run NetTerm as Direct Connect. Go to step 3.
– If the Phone Directory doesn't display IBM 2105 VSS/ESS (Direct Connect, IBM3151
emulation), then the service terminal needs to be setup again. Go to "Service Terminal Setup
and 2105 Configuration Verification" on page 54 to prepare the service terminal for service and
go to step 3. when complete.
3. Verify that the 2105 Model E10/E20 is powered on. The 2105 Model E10/E20 operator panel Power
Complete indicator for the cluster bay you are attaching to should be on continuously.
4. Observe the operator panel on the front of the cluster bay being serviced.
Is OK displayed on the cluster bay operator panel?
v Yes, the cluster bay is ready to display the Service Processor (SP) Operation menus, go to step 7
on page 210.
v No: go to step 5.
5. Has the cluster bay you are servicing completed a successful IML? (Operator panel Cluster Bay 1 or
2 Message indicator stops blinking):
v Yes, go to step 6.
v No, IML the cluster bay, wait three minutes for the IML to complete, then go to step 10 on
page 211.
6. Prepare the cluster bay being serviced to display the SP menus:
Note: The cluster bay being serviced must be powered off to display the SP menus, SP power is
present with cluster bay power off.
a. Attach the service terminal interface cable to the cluster bay you are NOT servicing and start the
service login operation, see "Service Login Operation Connection, with Cluster IML Complete" on
page 57.
