Power-Up Displays

Power-up information is displayed on the operator control panel and
on the console terminal startup screen. Messages sent from the SROM
(serial read-only memory) program are displayed first, followed by
messages from the SRM console.
NOTE: The power-up text that is displayed on the screen depends on what kind
of terminal is connected as the console terminal: VT or VGA.
If the SRM console environment variable is set to serial, the entire
power-up display, consisting of the SROM and SRM power-up mes-
sages, is displayed on the VT terminal screen. If console is set to
graphics, no SROM messages are displayed, and the SRM messages
are delayed until VGA initialization has been completed.
•
Section 2.2.1 shows the SROM power-up messages and corresponding op-
erator control panel (OCP) messages.
•
Section 2.2.2 shows the messages that are displayed once the SROM has
transferred control to the SRM console.
•
For a complete list of messages displayed on the OCP, see Chapter 7.
