Using the Alternate Console Feature
Step 3:
Redirect
Console Output
If you were using a monitor to display console output before you
connected an alternate console device, you must restart your
system to redirect console output. (Restarting the system is
sometimes referred to as power cycling the system.) If you do not
restart your system, the console output will not display on the
terminal or printer you connected.
Restarting the
System
To change console output from the monitor to the alternate
console, restart your system as follows:
1. Turn off your system following the instructions provided in
Chapter 7.
2. Wait 10 to 15 seconds.
3. Turn on the system unit (by switching the power switch to
the on (| ) position).
Look for
Display
Console output should now be displayed on the alternate console
device.
