NMI Button

DEST: Button

007-4653-001
The NMI button issues a non-maskable interrupt command to a brick, multiple bricks, a
partition, or multiple partitions. When the system hangs, you can send the affected brick
or partition an NMI interrupt via the L2 console. The interrupt goes to PROM and causes
the CPU state to be captured for each targeted Cx-brick. This information is saved in flash
PROM and the system log. This information assists SGI technicians in debugging system
hangs and customer problems. See "NMI Confirmation Window" on page 125 for
information on using the NMI button.
The DEST: button sets the target destinations for the power up, power down, reset,
and nmi commands. The text to the right of the DEST: button shows the current target
destination. The target destination in Figure 8-6 is all racks and all slots (r * s *). Therefore,
a power up, power down, reset, or nmi command is sent to all bricks in the system.
The text ([57 Bricks]) indicates the number of bricks that will be affected by the
command. See "Destination Selection Window" on page 127 for information on using the
DEST: button.
