Control panel is the name for the physical area of the server where the power button is located, along with diagnostic and other functions.
- "You can use the physical control panel to perform functions such as IPL, power on, and power off. Control panel functions range in complexity from functions that display status (such as IPL speed) to low-level service functions that only service representatives access." [1]
Control panel function codes
| Code[1] | Description |
|---|---|
| 01 | Displays the current IPL parameters. |
| 02 | Used to change the IPL type, system operating mode, IPL speed, and firmware IPL mode |
| 03 | Starts an IPL. Only available in manual mode and when the system power is on. |
| 04 | Lamp test |
| 07 | Allows you to perform SPCN service functions. Only in the manual operating mode and from power on standby. |
| 08 | Force a fast power off. Only in manual operating mode and the system power is on. |
| 11-19 | Displays SRCs |
| 20 | Displays the machine type and model, VPD card CCIN, and IPL types |
| 21 | Forces DST on the console. Only in manual mode. |
| 22 | Forces a partition dump. Only in manual mode. |
| 25 and 26 | Used together to enter a console service function. See [2]. Use Allows entry of codes 50-99. Only in manual mode. |
| 30 | Displays the service processor IP address and port location. Only in manual mode and from power on standby. |
| 34 | Retries the partition dump. See 22 above. |
| 42 | Performs a platform dump. Only in manual mode and when activated by the OS or service processor. |
