Chapter 8. Using the Service Processor

The service processor menus make it possible for you to configure service processor options, as well as
enable and disable functions.
Service processor menus are available using an ASCII terminal when OK is displayed on the primary I/O
drawer operator panel or when the service processor has detected a server problem (such as a
surveillance failure).
For a summary of the service processor functions and the methods used to invoke them, see the following
