1.4.7.4.1 SP command console buffer

The output of the SP command console of iSP may include some important information

such as the cause of system status change. For operation on the premises of the LAN

console, any console output cannot be monitored, which is executed between the

initialization of iSP and the establishment of the LAN console. For this reason, iSP has the

function to save certain message outputs, which is executed while the SP command console

is not established, in the buffer temporarily.

This buffer has about 1,000 lines of space and saves 1,000 lines of messages.

The content of the buffer can be displayed using the “ML” command.

1.4.7.4.2 SP command prompt

In the SP command mode, if you press the “ESC” key, a command prompt in the following

format is displayed.

Prompt Description

iSP yz: ---> Command prompt in the normal mode.

1.4.7.4.3 SP message header

Basically the SP message is output with a header in the following format.

If an interactive dialogue is executed in each SP command, all prompts or messages are not

attached with any message header.

Message Header Description

[iSP yz: INFO.cccc] string Information message.

[iSP yz: WARN.cccc] string Alert message.
[iSP yz: ERRORcccc] string Error message.

cccc is an ID attached to an individual message.

1.4.8 Console

The basic processing device is installed in the console interface as a standard. There are two

main types of consoles connected to the interface provided by iSP.

• OS console to display BIOS/OS message (which is called System console or SW

console)

• SP console to display SP message (which is called HW console)

A console is available on PC.

Consoles to be connected include consoles which can display Japanese characters. This

section describes its specification.

1.4.8.1 Japanese console

This device is used as a console which can display Japanese characters and connected to the

console interface of the basic processing device.

• Basically this device should satisfy the recommended operation environment of

Windows2000.

• This device should have more than two ports (necessary for redundancy configuration).

• More than one serial port is necessary (a serial port is used to set LAN when an iSP card

is exchanged and so forth).

1.4.9 System Configuration (SETUP)

SETUP is a utility tool to set the setting of the basic hardware. You can use this utility tool

without any specialized utility since this tool is preinstalled in the flash memory in the

Express server as a standard.

As the setting menus set by SETUP are preset as optimal at the factory, you need not to use

SETUP in most cases, while you may use it in some cases as described below.

Important The SETUP operation should be performed by the system administrator.

When you change the SETUP setting, you should save the changed setting

information.

For saving the information, please refer to “1.3.7.5.7.SR (Save system

CMOS/NvRAM)”.

Do not set a password before installing OS (operating system).

The descriptions for some menus are not given below. Do not change the

default settings of those menus. If you change them, the device operation is

not assured and may cause a system failure.

The latest version of SETUP utility is preinstalled in the Express server. For

this reason, the setting screen may be different from the descriptions in this

manual. For the setting menus, please refer to the online help or call the

maintenance service provider.

1.6.2 Flow of POST

The process carried out during POST will now be described below step by step.

Important During POST being carried out, DO not perform key entry or mouse

1. Operate the SP console to start booting the system. Each device of the system is

powered on, and after the booting is ready, the following messages will be indicated on

the SP console. Depending on the system configuration (amount of memory installed,

the number of I/O interface, PCI boards connected), it may take a few minutes to

indicate the messages.

[iSPyz:INFO.ccc] partition 0 : power on sequence started.

:

operation.

[iSPys:INFO.ccc] partition 0 : handed off the control to BIOS.

2. POST process then starts. During POST process, CPU or amount of memory detected

by BIOS, keyboard connected, and mouse are indicated on the display.

3. After a while, a message prompting a boot of BIOS set-up utility "SETUP" will be

indicated at the bottom on the left on the screen.

Press <F2> to enter Setup

Boot "SETUP" when the setting is changed conforming to the environment where the

Express server is used. The booting and changing settings are not usually needed,

except when the above message is indicated with an error message. After a few second

with no entry, the system will automatically continue POST.

To boot "SETUP," press <F2> key during the messaged being indicated. About the way

of setting up and functions of the parameters, see "1.3.9. System Configuration -

SETUP -." After "SETUP" is terminated, the Express server will automatically carry

out again POST from the beginning.

4. IF a password is set in BIOS set-up utility "SETUP," a screen for password entry will

be indicated after POST is terminated normally. You can enter a password up to three

times. If you have failed to enter a password three times, you cannot boot the Express

server. In this case, turn off the main body and turn it on again after about 10 seconds to

reboot the Express server.

Important Do not set a password before installing OS.
