hi there,

i come across this somewhat odd case with a 820 machine.

It was successfully booted into D>M by my colleague and was scratched up to only OS level. i then continued with installation of Licensed Programs.


1. In B>N mode, no problem with twinax connection & console display :-
The server was initially in B>N mode,but it was found to have the issue of user ID locked during sign-on, after the exisitng twinax controller at the back of system unit connected to the 8-port twinax (MUX?) box.

2. In B>M or D>M, everytime IPL into either of these 2 manual modes, always the console seemed unable to obtain signal from the existing twinax controller,with attention light at display panel. Already set console to Address 0, Port 0.

3. After replacing a twinax controller at the back of system unit, console display back to normal when IPL into manual modes.


my concerns are :-

- Why a 'intermittent-faulty' (is this the right word to say?) twinax controller would caused attention light & caused no signal to be transmitted to console ?

- How are the detailed IPL process at Manual mode (Attended IPL) ?


hope u could shed some lights .. thx a lot..
