Appendix C. Service Processor Setup and Test
Attention: This procedure applies to modems attached to the serial ports (S1, S2, and S3) on the
pSeries 630 Model 6C4 and Model 6E4 systems. It does not affect the operation of the modem attached
to the Hardware Management Console (HMC).
The call-out function is normally handled by the Service Focal Point application running on the HMC.
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 system.
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 7, “Using the Service Processor”, on page 363.
5. Set the system name. See “Privileged User Menus” on page 365.
6. Enable surveillance. See “Service Processor System Monitoring - Surveillance” on page 399.
7. Configure Call-In/Call-Out. See “Call-In/Call-Out Setup Menu” on page 386.
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 364.
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 558
v Call-Out, see “Testing Call-Out” on page 558
13. Use the “Save or Restore Hardware Management Policies,” in the “Introduction to Tasks and Service
Aids” section of the RS/6000 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 system.
Your service processor is now ready for use.
