RE: Console QSECOFR Conundrum -- MIDRANGE-L

The method you performed (option 3 to restart IPL on manual) is also a
way to do it - I figured I'd mention the definite way rather than the
other method, as speed on the control panel is an important factor with
the way you did it.

When you came up on the A-side for your initial OS load, and then
load/apply your PTFs,  those PTFs will go on permanent.  Since you're
coming up B-side now, the PTF loads will go to temp apply.  No big deal
with known-good PTFs.

My pleasure to post - glad I can share my "useless trivia" (my wife's
quote) with the community.

Justin, thanks!

Exactly what was done while I was waiting for a response (nothing to
lose in the IPL....)

Question though:  I changed it to manual, changed the option to 3,
pressed enter and it IPL'd (changed the panel back to normal after
pressing enter).  How is that different from the "press the white button
twice" approach?

Is coming up on the A side important? (we IPL'd B, Normal )

In any case, the console was waiting for us to sign back on after a few
minutes of IPL'ing....

I never knew that the white button did anything but turn it ON.  Pushing
twice turns it OFF?  Learn something new every day.

Thanks for posting.

Pete
