Power-Up Displays
Power-up information is displayed on the operator control panel LEDs and on the
console terminal startup screen. Messages sent from the serial read-only memory
(SROM) program are displayed first, followed by messages from the SRM console.
NOTE:
The power-up text that is displayed on the screen depends on the kind of terminal
that is connected as the console terminal: either VT or VGA.
If
the
SRM
console
environment variable is set to
serial
, the entire power-up
display, consisting of the SROM and SRM power-up messages, is displayed on the
VT terminal screen. If
console
is set to
graphics
, SROM messages are not
displayed, and the SRM messages are delayed until VGA initialization has
completed. If the COM1_mode is set to
through
or
snoop,
RMC will also display
power-up and power-down error messages to COM1.
