1.1.2 IPL Types and Modes
 
The IPL types and modes are:
 
A M       Performs a Manual IPL from the A side of the disk.  This mode may be used when applying or
          removing Licensed Internal Code (LIC) PTFs.  It can also be used to power off the system.
 
          Use this type and mode only under the direction of your support representative.
 
A N       Performs a Normal IPL from the A side of the disk.
 
          This mode should only be used when B N does not work and you are told to do so by your support
          representative.
 
B M       Performs a Manual IPL from the B side of the disk.  This mode should only be used when an attended
          IPL must be performed or you need to power off the system.  This type of IPL is used when you need to
          change the system date and time permanently.
 
B N       Performs a normal IPL from the B side of the disk.  This is the type and mode used most of the time.  It
          is also the mode the system must be in if you want to do an unattended IPL.
 
C M       Allows service representatives to perform a special IPL.  This mode is for use only by service
          representatives.  Never IPL in this type and mode.
 
C N       Allows service representatives to perform a special IPL.  This mode is for use only by service
          representatives.  Never IPL in this type and mode.
 
D M       Performs a manual IPL from either CD-ROM or tape.  This mode is used to install Licensed Internal
          Code and the OS/400 operating system in attended mode.  This is the most often used IPL type and
          mode for installation.
 
D N       Performs a normal IPL from either CD-ROM or tape.  This mode is used to install Licensed Internal Code
          and the OS/400 operating system in unattended mode.
 
Manual    When the mode is set to Manual (M), the system allows you to do all manual IPLs, such as an
          operator-attended IPL from disk, CD-ROM or tape.  Manual mode also allows you to do some manual
          control functions, such as selecting an IPL type and mode or displaying the kind of IPL that the system is
          set to run. However, in manual mode, you cannot do a remote IPL, an IPL by date and time, or an IPL
          after a power failure.
 
          Note:  You should set the mode to Manual only when it is necessary.  This ensures that no one
                 accidentally presses the Power pushbutton and causes the system to stop.
 
 
Normal    The Normal mode allows you to turn the power on and then automatically start the system in any of
          the following ways:
 
             IPL remotely
 
             IPL by date and time
 
             IPL after a power failure
 
 
          Note:  Your system should be in Normal mode most of the time.
 
 
The table in Figure 1-3 in topic 1.1.2 summarizes what operations you can do in the Manual (M) or Normal (N)
IPL modes:
 
Note:  You can display the kind of IPL the system is set to do when the system is in any mode.
 
 
If you want to stop the system when the mode is set to Normal, use the Power Down System (PWRDWNSYS)
command at any display station after you stop the AS/400 Advanced 36 machines.  You must have QSYSOPR
authority to use the Power Down System (PWRDWNSYS) command.

Hi guys,
 
what are the combination keys for AS/400 FRONT PANEL CONFIGURATION.
I know that 01 B = Normal Unattended IPL Mode.  What are the others?
 
Thanks for your input.
