Service Processor 

This phase is entered when the server is connected to a power source. The 
server may or may not be fully powered on. This phase is exited when the 
Power-On Self-Tests (POST) and configurations tasks are completed. The 
Pre-Standby phase components are:

  • SP Initialization

SP performs any necessary hardware and software initializations.

  • SP POST

SP conducts Power-On Self Tests on its various work and code areas.

  • SP Unattended Start Mode Checks

To assist fault recovery, if unattended start mode is set, the SP 
automatically reboots the server. SP does not wait for a user-input or 
power-on command, but moves straight through the phase and into the 
Bring-up Phase. The unattended start mode can be reset by accessing 
SMS menus, or SP menus.

The standby phase can be reached in two ways:

1. With the server OFF and power connected (the normal path), recognized 

by OK in the LED display.

2. With the server ON after an operating system fault, recognized by STBY 

or an 8-digit code in the LED display.

In the Standby phase, the SP takes care of some automatic duties and is 
available for menus operation. The SP remains in the standby phase until a 
power-on request is detected.

The Standby phase components are:

  • Modem Configuration

SP will configure the modem (if installed) so that incoming calls may be 
received, or outgoing calls may be placed.

  • Dial In

Monitor incoming phone line to answer calls, prompt for a password, verify 
the password and remotely display the standby menu. The remote session 
can be mirrored on the local ASCII console if the server is so equipped 
and the user enables this function.
