System Configuration and Setup 6-3
SRM Console
Systems running the Tru64 UNIX or OpenVMS operating systems are
configured from the SRM console, a command-line interface (CLI). From the
CLI you can enter commands to configure the system, view the system
configuration, boot the system, and run ROM-based diagnostics.
AlphaBIOS Console
Systems running the Windows NT operating system are configured from the
AlphaBIOS console, a menu interface. From the AlphaBIOS boot screen, you
can boot the operating system or press F2 to enter a setup screen to set up the
system. The Setup screen is shown in Figure 6–1. From the Utilities menu on
the Setup screen, you can select options to run maintenance programs and
display error frames for hardware errors logged to the flash ROM.
RMC CLI
The remote management console (RMC) provides a command-line interface
(CLI) for controlling the system. You can use the CLI either locally or remotely
(modem connection) to power the system on and off, halt or reset the system,
and monitor the system environment. You can also use the dump, env, and
status commands to help diagnose errors. See Chapter 7 for details.
