seconds while the SP is running self-tests and initializing the server. If the server powers down, SP menus
become available after 15 seconds.

SP Menu Groups
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.
The SP menus are divided into two groups:
v General user menus - the user must know the general access password.
v Privileged user menus - the user must know the privileged access password.
The following section describes these two groups of menus, how to access them, and the functions
associated with each option.
