Ladies and Gentlemen, Geeks and Geekettes:

We just had a power failure. And about 20 minutes into the outage, the UPS started fading fast.

And I ended up doing some groping to find front-panel PWRDWNSYS (I ended up poking the white power button and squeezing the enter button; it started showing D-series SRCs, and it was still in progress when the UPS cut out.)

At any rate, while groping around, trying to find front-panel PWRDWNSYS in the dark, I probably disturbed the function-02 settings. Function-01 currently shows:
01 B N V=H
P

Is that what it SHOULD be? I'm looking at a PDF I downloaded from a Google search on "ibm i e4a front panel," and "hyperboot" sounds less than entirely safe. And what is the "P" vs. "T" about?

When the power came back on, the E4A immediately IPL'd itself (I'd have preferred to wait until the UPS had recovered some runtime). Is that normal?

Also, I've got LAN Console on my WinDoze box. It's up right now, and I've got a terminal session, but I can't get the virtual front panel to come up.
