Cannot boot my A400

[Joe Brewer]

Hi

I have an A400 which is having difficulty booting.

I have a PC connected to the serial port which is running HP3000 terminal emulation software. I am getting no GSP prompt, even after using the GSP reset button on the back of the server.

The lights on the front of the server are showing:

Run: flashing
Attention: flashing
Fault: off
Remote: off

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Joe

First, did it ever work?

If no:

- what emulation software?

Regardless:

- check the physical RS-232 connector
at the back of the A400 ... I've seen
several where I had to seriously
work to get the cable fully plugged
into the RS-232 socket.

- forgive the obvious...is the emulator in
"local" mode or "auto lf" mode?
