Netfinity 7000 M10 - System Power Menu selections

Applicable to: World-Wide

Source: Hardware Maintenance Manual

System Power Menu Selections: You can use the selections available from the System Power menu to:

- View data regarding the current server power status
- View data regarding the server power configuration
- Power the server off
- Power the server on

To access these functions:

1. Use a terminal program, TELNET session, or web browser to establish a connection with the system management subsystem modem.

2. Log in to the system management subsystem.

When you have established a connection with the system management subsystem, you will be prompted for a username and password. You must provide a username and password combination that has been previously configured for use with the system management subsystem. You can use one of two username and password combinations:

- The default username (USERID) and password (PASSW0RD)

Note
The default username and password are case sensitive. You must use all caps, and
the "0" in PASSW0RD, is the numeral zero.


- A username and password that you define using the Advanced System Management service and Netfinity Manager.

Important
For security purposes, change the username and password using the Advanced System
Management service. For more information see "Configuration Settings".

If you update the system management subsystem microcode, the default username
(USERID) and password (PASSW0RD) are reset. If you had previously changed them,
you will need to change them again.


When you have logged into the system management subsystem, the following main menu appears:
2 Monitors
3 Error Logs
4 System Management Adapter Configuration
5 System Services
6 System Power
7 Boot
B Remote Terminal Status
Y Disconnect Current Logon
Z Start Remote Video

3. Select 6 System Power.

The following System Power menu appears:
1 Current Power Status
2 Power Configuration
3 Power On
4 Power Off

4. Select a System Power menu item.

- Select 1 Current power Status for information about the current server power status.
- Select 2 Power Configuration for information about the server power configuration.
- Select 3 Power On to power the server on (if it is currently powered off).
- Select 4 Power Off to power the server off (if it is currently powered on).

Boot Menu Selections: You can use the selections available from the Boot menu to:
- Shut down the server operating system and then restart the server
- Restart the server immediately, without first performing an operating system shutdown
- Restart the system management subsystem

To access these functions:

1. Use a terminal program, TELNET session, or web browser to establish a connection with the system management subsystem modem.

2. Log in to the system management subsystem.

4. Select a Boot menu item.

- Select 3 Restart SP to restart the system management subsystem.

Using Remote Video Mode to Monitor and Access POST: You can use a terminal program, TELNET session, or web browser to remotely monitor all textual output generated during POST. All POST data will be displayed in the terminal program window as the remote system completes POST. While you are monitoring POST on the remote system, all local keystrokes are relayed automatically to the remote system, enabling you to use POST utilities (such as system configuration, RAID mini-configuration program, or diagnostic programs) that can be accessed during POST.

To use Remote Video Mode to monitor and access POST on the server:

1. Use a terminal program, TELNET session, or web browser to establish a connection with the system management subsystem modem.

2. Log in to the system management subsystem.

When you have established a connection with the system management subsystem, you will be prompted for a username and password. You must provide a username and password combination that has been previously configured for use with the system management subsystem. You can use one of two username and password combinations:

- The default username (USERID) and password (PASSW0RD)

Note

the "0" in PASSW0RD, is the numeral zero.


- A username and password that you define using the Advanced System Management service and Netfinity Manager

Important
For security purposes, change the username and password using the Advanced System
Management service. For more information, see "Configuration Settings".

If you update the system management subsystem microcode, the default username
(USERID) and password (PASSW0RD) are reset. If you had previously changed them, you will
need to change them again.



When you have logged into the system management subsystem, the following main menu appears:
2 Monitors
3 Error Logs
4 System Management Adapter Configuration
5 System Services
6 System Power
7 Boot
B Remote Terminal Status
Y Disconnect Current Logon
Z Start Remote Video

3. Start (or restart) the server.
- If the remote server is currently powered off:
a. Select 6 System Power from the main menu.
b. Select 4 Power On from the System Power menu.

- If the server is currently powered on, you must restart the server. You can use selections from the System Power menu or the Boot menu to restart the server in several ways.

To restart the server using System Power menu selection:

a. Select 6 System Power from the main menu.
b. Select 3 Power Off from the System Power menu.
c. Once the server has powered off, select 4 Power On to restore power to the server.

To restart the server using Boot menu selections:
a. Select 7 Boot from the main menu.
b. Select either 1 Reboot w/OS Shutdown or 2 Reboot Immediately to restart the server.

Note
For information on the System Power and Boot menus,
see "System Power Menu Selections" and "Boot Menu Selections".


4. After you restart the server, return to the main menu and select Z Start Remote Video.

Once you have started Remote Video mode on the system management subsystem, all textual output generated during POST will be sent to your terminal window or TELNET session. Your terminal or TELNET session will also act as a fully-active remote session, enabling you to enter keyboard commands that will be sent to the remote server. In this way, you can enter key commands and key-combinations that access POST operations and utilities, such as system setup or the RAID mini-configuration program.

When you have finished using Remote Video mode, press Ctrl+R, then press Ctrl+E, and then press Ctrl+T. This will end Remote Video mode and return you to the main menu.

System Reliability Considerations
To help ensure proper cooling and system reliability, make sure:

- Each of the drive bays has either a drive or a filler panel installed.
- Each of the power supply bays has either a power supply or a filler panel installed.
- The top cover is in place during normal operation.
- The front access cover is in place during normal operation.
- There is at least 305 mm (12 inches) of ventilation space at the front and rear of the server.
- The Power switch on the power supply is off before you remove a functional power supply.
- Cables for optional adapters are routed according to the instructions provided with the adapters.
- A fan that has failed is replaced as soon as convenient to help maintain the redundant cooling capability.
