SET SYSTEM SERIAL ! VT100 and hardcopy terminals

At the prompt, enter the serial number.

The console program prompts

for conﬁrmation to update the EEPROM. Type Y.

If you have gone through an H9657-CX or H9657-CU upgrade, you

must use the SET POWER command to store the power conversion

information in EEPROM. Otherwise, proceed to

. The SET POWER

command accepts three options:

A — Power system upgraded with an H9657-CX kit

B — Power system includes a battery backup system

C — Power system upgraded with an H9657-CU kit (default)

Again, the console prompts for EEPROM update, and then conﬁrms the

setting.

Issue an UPDATE m command to propagate the system serial number

and power information to each new CPU’s EEPROM.

Note that UPDATE will not work if the ROM revision levels are

different on the boot processor and the processor being updated.

UPDATE will print an error message to that effect.

Revisions to ROM code are generally of such an extent that major

new capabilities or ﬁxes are included in the latest revision, and ideally

all of a system’s processors should have the latest (highest-numbered)

ROM revisions. However, the console code does not preclude running

processors with different ROM revisions.

If you decide to bring the system up with processors with different ROM

revisions, you will then have to use individual SET commands to set

the system serial number and power on each newly installed processor.

Now issue other console commands to customize system parameters.

These commands include SET BOOT, SET TERMINAL, SET

LANGUAGE. Refer to the printout you created in Section 2.1, Record

System Parameters.

The system’s serial number will have been recorded and saved in the Site Management

Guide during the preparation steps described in Chapter 2. Or, you can ﬁnd the correct

serial number by issuing a SET CPU command to a previously installed CPU and then the

command:
