


Reset button. A momentary contact switch that restarts the system and
reinitializes the console firmware. Power-up messages are displayed, and
then the console prompt is displayed or the operating system boot messages
are displayed, depending on how the startup sequence has been defined.

Halt button. Halts the system and returns to the SRM console.
If the Halt button is latched when the system is reset or powered up, the
system halts in the SRM console. Systems that are configured to autoboot
cannot boot until the Halt button is unlatched.
Commands issued from the remote management console (RMC) can be used to
reset, halt, and power the system on or off. For information on RMC, see Chap-
ter 6.
