FWCONS

  1. If your server has an attached console, but the console display is not working, refer to the documentation for the display or try substituting a known good display for the one that is failing.
  2. If you can see selection screens on the terminals, press the appropriate key on the input device within 60 seconds. If the console does not respond to the keystroke:
    1. If you are selecting the console with a keyboard attached to the system, replace the keyboard, see the service documentation for the system unit for keyboard part numbers. If the keyboard does not fix the problem, replace the service processor. Use the following table to determine the part number for the field replaceable unit (FRU):

      CCIN or FFC Type and model Part number Description Location code
        8204-MMA 10N9369 System backplane (integrated service processor card) Un-P1
        9406-MMA, 9117-MMA 10N8752 Service processor card Un-P1-C11
    2. If you are selecting the console with an ASCII terminal, suspect the terminal. Use the problem determination procedures for the terminal.

      Note: The ASCII terminal settings should be:

      • 19,200 baud
      • No parity
      • 8 data bits
      • 1 stop bit

      This ends the procedure.
