5. When you have verified that you want to proceed with updating the system management subsystem microcode, the Advanced System Management service will apply the microcode update to the system management subsystem. During this process, some of the monitoring functions of some system management subsystems (such as the environmental monitors available with the Netfinity 7000 Netfinity Advanced System Management PCI Adapter) will be disabled. Once the microcode update is complete, all system monitoring will resume. Accessing the Advanced System Management Adapter II without Netfinity Manager: If you are unable to use Netfinity Manager to access and manage your Netfinity Advanced System Management PCI Adapter, you can use a terminal program and a modem to connect directly to the Netfinity Advanced System Management PCI Adapter. This modem should be connected to serial port A or management port C to use the remote functions. (Refer to your server User's Handbook for information on serial port A and management port C. For more information on configuring the Netfinity Advanced System Management PCI Adapter modem, see "Modem Settings" on page 54.) Also, if the Netfinity Advanced System Management PCI Adapter is attached to and configured to use a TCPIP network (using the Ethernet port), you can use a TELNET session or web browser to connect to the Netfinity Advanced System Management PCI Adapter. When connected, you will be able to access a variety of monitor, configuration, and error log data. You can also: Power the remote system on or off Shut down and restart the server Initiate remote video mode on the system management subsystem Remote video mode enables you to remotely monitor all textual output generated during POST. All POST data will be displayed in the terminal program window as the remote system completes POST. While you are monitoring POST on the remote system, all local keystrokes are relayed automatically to the remote system, enabling you to use POST utilities (such as system configuration, redundant array of independent disks [RAID] mini-configuration program, and diagnostic programs) that can be accessed during POST.

5.
When you have verified that you want to proceed with
updating the system management subsystem
microcode, the Advanced System Management
service will apply the microcode update to the system
management subsystem.
During this process, some of the monitoring functions
of some system management subsystems (such as
the environmental monitors available with the Netfinity
7000 Netfinity Advanced System Management PCI
Adapter) will be disabled.
Once the microcode
update is complete, all system monitoring will resume.
Accessing the Advanced System
Management Adapter II without Netfinity
Manager:
If you are unable to use Netfinity Manager
to access and manage your Netfinity Advanced System
Management PCI Adapter, you can use a terminal program
and a modem to connect directly to the Netfinity Advanced
System Management PCI Adapter.
This modem should be
connected to serial port A or management port C to use
the remote functions.
(Refer to your server
User's
Handbook
for information on serial port A and
management port C.
For more information on configuring
the Netfinity Advanced System Management PCI Adapter
modem, see “Modem Settings” on page
54.)
Also, if the Netfinity Advanced System Management PCI
Adapter is attached to and configured to use a TCPIP
network (using the Ethernet port), you can use a TELNET
session or web browser to connect to the Netfinity
Advanced System Management PCI Adapter.
When connected, you will be able to access a variety of
monitor, configuration, and error log data.
You can also:
±
Power the remote system on or off
±
Shut down and restart the server
±
Initiate remote video mode on the system
management subsystem
Remote video mode enables you to remotely monitor
all textual output generated during POST.
All POST
data will be displayed in the terminal program window
as the remote system completes POST.
While you
are monitoring POST on the remote system, all local
keystrokes are relayed automatically to the remote
system, enabling you to use POST utilities (such as
system configuration, redundant array of independent
disks [RAID] mini-configuration program, and
diagnostic programs) that can be accessed during
POST.
