Configuring AC Line Status
The MP utilities can detect if power is applied to each of the AC input cords for the server, by sampling the
status of the bulk power supplies. During installation, use the following procedure to check the configuration
for the AC line status and configure it to match the customer’s environment.
Step 1. At the MP prompt, enter cm. This will display the Command Menu and enable you to view and
configure various utilities controlled by the MP.
Step 2. From the command prompt (MP:CM>), enter pwrgrd. The pwrgrd command displays the current
power configuration. This command can also be used to change the power grid configuration. A
screen similar to the one in Figure 2-39 is displayed.

Step 3. Verify that the power grid configuration is correct by examining the output from the pwrgrd
command. The preceding power configuration indicates that both grid A and grid B have been
configured.
Step 4. To change the configuration, select the proper response and enter the appropriate numeric value
when Select Option: displays on the screen. If no change is desired, enter q and press the
Enter
key. After the value has been entered, the MP will respond and indicate that the change has taken
effect.

recommends that at least two windows be opened:
Step 1. A window showing all activity in the complex. Following the installation procedure in this
document causes a window to be open at startup.
