1.2  RCI Functions
• Facility control
Different kinds of facility control are available when the external power controller is 
connected to the RCI.  The external power controller can link with the customer's 
existing facilities, power on each unit, recognize alarms of each unit, use the operator 
call function through a contact interface, and perform other such operations.  Use the 
setrcic command at the setting of the facility control.  For details on the facility 
control, contact authorized service personnel.
• Power-on wait
The power-on wait function automatically powers on RCI I/O units before powering 
on RCI hosts.
To use this function in a domain, execute the setpowerupdelay command in the 
domain.
For details, see the XSCF Reference Manual.
• Asynchronous RCI monitoring
The following functions are available when the asynchronous RCI monitoring 
function is enabled for a cluster:
z Mutual monitoring for detection of abnormalities in RCI hosts (asynchronous 
monitoring)
In addition to performing periodic monitoring by INTERCONNECT, this function 
detects abnormalities such as the panic state in an RCI host.
z Reliable stopping of an abnormal RCI host
This function stops, without fail, an abnormal RCI host without terminating a 
hang-up, slowdown, or generated panic.
z Switch control
This function controls line selector switching or other switching in the event that 
an RCI host fails.
