service processor menus can be accessed by opening a virtual terminal window on the hmc, or by attaching an ascii terminal to serial port 1 (s1) or serial port 2 (s2). after ok displays in the operator panel, press any key on the keyboard to signal the service processor.

    the service processor menus cannot be accessed simultaneously on a virtual terminal window on the hmc and on an ascii terminal. accessing the menus on the hmc prevents access to the ascii terminals and vice versa.

    when you gain access, the service processor prompts you for a password (if one is set), and when verified, displays the service processor menus.

    the service processor menu prompt, represented by 0] or 1], indicates the serial port to which the terminal is connected.

    1 an ascii terminal can have the following prompts:

    1 0] indicates serial port 1 (s1)

    2 1] indicates serial port 2 (s2)

    2 the hmc always displays a prompt of 0]
