Booting from Boot-Code

If the SAS InFusion box does not boot successfully, or if it becomes non-responsive, you
can boot from default settings called boot-code.

Boot-code is a simplified version of SAS InFusion firmware. It allows the SAS InFusion
box to boot to the point where it can communicate with the SAS InFusion software
application. After communication is established between the box and software
application, you can download a different version of firmware and BusEngine files to the
box.

Note: You can not download scenarios to the SAS InFusion box while

operating in boot-code.

To boot from boot-code,

Step 1

Press and hold any of the three buttons on the SAS InFusion box front
panel.

Step 2

While holding the buttons DOWN, turn the box ON.

After you complete these steps, download the new version of BusEngine and firmware
files, then reboot the box from the LCD panel menu (Box Setup > Reboot).

Root Menu

As mentioned, the Root menu appears after successful boot-up. There are submenus
beneath the Root menu, but most are just one layer deep (beyond the Root menu). The
deepest submenu is just two layers deep.

Figure 89 shows the LCD panel Root menu. Device status is shown on the top line, which
includes the following items:

[SAS]:

Indicates the InFusion hardware platform.

Actv: 1: This shows which scenario is active, and appears only if

scenarios have already been downloaded. The SAS Infusion box
can hold ten scenarios. The scenarios are numbered 1 through
10. You can use the LCD panel to select the scenario to run via
the InFusion Setup menu (Root menu > InFusion Setup).

Idle:

Shows traffic generation status. Status can be Idle or Busy.

When the box is not running a scenario, status is Idle. When
running a scenario, status is Busy.
