Emerson 4620 Manuel D’Utilisation

This HPI control allows you to set/get the Power-On Self Test (POST) type of the blade. Two 
POST types are configurable: long POST and short POST. Refer to the respective hardware 
user manual of the blade for details about both POST types. The definition of the respective HPI 
controls is given in the following tables. 

The actions taken by the HPI daemon are written to a log file. The path and name of the log file 
is defined in the configuration file bbs-hpib.conf.

To control what kind of information is written to the log file, the log control can be used.

Bits 7..0: 

0: Short POST

1: Long POST

Bits 15..8: CPU complex number

Bits 31..16: Reserved

The POST type value is 
specified in the least 
significant byte. 

The CPU number (or SET 
Selector byte) is normally 
zero. However, for blades 
that support more than one 
CPU complex, the 
processor complex is 
identified with this field.
