Console Strategy

The firmware starts a console-selection sequence at system boot time if any of the

following are true:

 A console has not yet been selected

 A previous console-selection sequence timed-out

 A change in the system configuration has affected the console (keyboard

installed/removed, mouse installed/removed, graphics adapter installed/removed

or moved to another PCI slot).

The console-selection sequence allows you to select (from the appropriate input

device) any one of the available console devices. If no console is selected within

approximately 60 seconds, serial port 1 (S1) is selected as the console and the

selection sequence times-out.

Attention: If an ASCII terminal is attached to serial port 1 (S1), and there is any

interaction with this terminal:

 After OK displays in the operator panel

AND

 Before the power-up sequence is initiated

the firmware will still use this terminal as the console, regardless of the previous

console selection.

After a console has been selected, the console-selection sequence is only started at

boot time if there is a change in the system configuration (as described above), or

the contents of the system's nonvolatile memory (NVRAM) are lost.

Note: Moving an ASCII terminal from one serial port to another (from S1 to S2)

cannot be detected by the firmware, so it does not constitute a configuration change.

You can also initiate a system console-selection sequence from the SMS menus.
