Specifications

The second line of the boot interrupt indicates the two partitions. The first in list is the ACTIVE
partition. The second in list is the ALTERNATE partition.
3. At the boot: prompt type hda5 or hda6 and then press enter. You want to choose the second
in the list for the alternate partition.
4. If you can successfully boot to the alternate partition you can then perform an upgrade. The
upgrade is applied to the alternate partition so it will repair the original partition. For further info
on upgrades see BSC software upgrade documentation.
My BSC-600/1200 did not automatically power back on after several quick power failures.
I had to remove the power cord from the power supply, plug it back in, and press the
ON/OFF button. Is this normal?
The BSC-600/1200 power supply is designed to protect itself. It has a protected mode feature
that often times not only saves the power supply unit from being blown out but also the
motherboard and other components from being damaged. If there was an abrupt power spike, or
the power went off, came on, went off again, the power supply is put into protected mode. Once
it's in protected mode, the normal solution is to remove the power cord from the power supply
for roughly 30 seconds, plug it back in, and press the ON/OFF button. It is recommended the
BSC-600/1200 be plugged into a UPS (Universal Power Supply).
My BSC-600/1200 will not boot. There is no access to the secure web based administrative
console or the serial port console menu. How can I recover the BSC?
Serial port boot interrupt/manual switch of partitions (BSC-600/1200)
Introduction
This document explains how to perform a serial port boot interrupt to manually switch to the
alternate partition when there is no access to the secure web based administrative console or the
serial port console menu. This process is typically used for recovery of a BSC-600/1200 that will
not complete a boot of the active partition. If you can successfully boot to the alternate partition
you can then perform an upgrade. The upgrade is applied to the alternate partition so it will
repair the original partition. For further info on upgrades see BSC software upgrade
documentation.
Requirements
Ensure that you meet these requirements before you attempt this process:
-Basic knowledge of how to use a terminal emulation application such as Microsoft
HyperTerminal.
