| What do
>>>show console
and
>>>show os_type
show? You should be able to set console to serial and os_type to VMS or UNIX,
and thus use the serial console.

Well,
They are running os_type "vms" and console was set serial, didn't
make a difference if console was serial or graphics, no further
console output seen on the VT320 serial port after the
JUMPING TO BOOTSTRAP command was seen. All further output was on
Graphics Screen Once we plugged in a monitor to the VGA port.

| Are you sure you are plugged into COM1? It sounds like you may be plugged into
COM2.
When you say that all output went to the graphics screen, what kind of output
are you referring to?

COM2? Possible, I didn't ask, The old I/O board boots up all the
way using the serial console, its only the newer I/O boards with the
DUAL SRM console for EV4/EV5's that have shown the problem. The output
I am referring to are all the messages the LFU booting puts out after
the message JUMPING to BOOTSTRAP.
I also don not know if after the LFU update has been done whether
the new I/O board still has this feature.
I am mainly putting this in here not for an answer but as a
possible gotcha.

I asked, it was COM1 the bottom com port the console serial terminal
was plugged into.

| 2542.6 | need to load the right console for right CPU type | KOKY::PEREZ | | Wed Mar 05 1997 19:52 | 14 |
| You need to load the firmware again. Your system came from the factory
with dual srm because we don't know which CPU you are going to use and
you need to come up with enough system intelligence so you can do the
system update.
Once you have done that, then you need to run ECU for the specific OS
that you are going to use. There the system sets some parameters that
are required for the system to opearte propertly.
By the way, in the dual SRM mode you don't have a valid ARC console,
therefore you can't run ECU. And when you invoke the ARC console you
have to run the system setup and clear all the yellow banner in the
order in which they apear.
