Step 2. Issue the PS command from the GSP command menu.

The PS command allows you to list detailed information about

components within the Superdome complex.

The PS command initially reports all cabinets, cells, and core I/O cards it

locates, and prompts you to specify what hardware you want information

about.

Step 3. Specify the cabinet whose components’ status you want to check.

For each cabinet, the PS command reports detailed information that

includes the power status for all components within the cabinet.

The information that the PS command reports for each cabinet includes

the following details:

• Cabinet Power—Whether the 48-volt cabinet power switch is on or

off, whether cabinet power is enabled, and details about the

backplane power boards (“BP Power Boards”) and cabinet bulk power

supplies (“BPS” 0–5).

• Cell Power—Whether power is enabled and on for all cells within

the cabinet.

• Core I/O Card Power—Whether power is enabled and on for all

core I/O cards within the cabinet.

For Superdome complexes that have multiple cabinets, you must check

details for each cabinet separately.
