Press the F10 key to save and exit.

After completing the console redirection process, you can view the boot process remotely from a client PC

through an established Telnet session to the IP address of LO100. See your operating system
documentation for instructions on establishing telnet sessions.
To redirect the console to the Telnet session and view the boot process, press the Esc+Q keys in the Telnet

session during server boot. If you reset the server using the Telnet connection, and press the Esc+Q keys,
the boot process might not appear immediately. The boot process appears after the server resets. To exit

the console redirection and return to CLP, end this session by pressing the Esc+( keys.

NOTE:

If you encounter problems logging in to the remote console, be aware that some telnet

programs might require you to enable their send line feed at end of line option. If
the remote console does not respond to the Enter key, try setting this option in your telnet

program.

NOTE:

You must follow the instructions in the "Network settings (on page

49

)" section to

configure the network access properly.
