IBM 150 Manual De Usuario

RS/6000 43P 7043 Models 150 and 260 Handbook

The ASCII version of the System Management Services includes an 
additional function in the main menu not found in the graphical version. The 
following languages are supported:

  • English
  • French
  • German
  • Italian
  • Spanish
  • Swedish

All menus and options, as well as the button titles, have been translated. Your 
ACSII terminal must support the ISO8859-1 character set in order to properly 
display languages other than English.

If you have a graphics adapter in your system, then System Management 
Services will only display information using that adapter. If you have an ASCII 
terminal attached and have a graphics adapter installed, nothing will be 
displayed on the ASCII terminal during the firmware boot process. To be able 
to use the ASCII terminal to access System Management Services, you will 
have to physically remove the graphics adapter from the system. If there are 
no terminals or graphics adapters attached, the system will still be able to 
boot up.

If you are using an ASCII terminal, the following parameters should be used:

  • 9600 baud

    • 8-bit

  • No parity

  • 1 stop bit

  • 24 lines by 80 columns

  • Echo mode on

There are several situations where a firmware update may be required. For 
example, an update may be required after a field EC (engineering change) to 
provide firmware support for new adapters and peripherials or to enhance 
functions for existing peripherials.
