Appendix C. Service Processor Setup and Test

For your convenience, an example of a basic service processor setup checklist is included here. Your
setup may include more or fewer of the available features, so you can adjust this checklist for your own
application so that it is helpful to you.
Service Processor Setup Checklist
1. Unplug the power cord from the server.
2. Attach a local terminal for this setup procedure.
3. Plug in the system and power on the local terminal.
Attention: Make sure that system power remains off.
4. Start the service processor menus. See Chapter 8, "Using the Service Processor," on page 359.
5. Set the system name. See "Privileged User Menus" on page 361.
6. Enable surveillance. See "Service Processor Functions" on page 386.
7. Configure Call-In/Call-Out. See "Call-In/Call-Out Setup Menu" on page 380.
8. Exit the service processor menus.
9. Unplug the power cord from the system.
10. Attach modems (if needed). See "Accessing the Service Processor Menus Remotely" on page 360.
11. Plug in the system.
Attention: Make sure that the system power remains off.
12. Test both of the following:
v Call-In, see "Testing Call-In" on page 500
v Call-Out, see "Testing Call-Out" on page 500
13. Use the "Save or Restore Hardware Management Policies," in the "Introduction to Tasks and Service
Aids" section of the RS/6000 and Eserver pSeries Diagnostic Information for Multiple Bus Systems
to back up the service processor settings.
Note: This step is strongly recommended to protect the usefulness of the service processor and the
availability of the server.
Your service processor is now ready for use.
