Open the General Configuration page

1. Select Devices in the left main navigation.
2. Select General in the device menu.
3. At the top of the page, check the total number of devices, available devices, and unavailable devices.
4. To find a device, enter the device name or system name, or select a status in Select Device Status.
5. Click Reset to clear the search and status filter conditions.
6. In the device list, view device status, boot policy, system information, and resource utilization; to manage a device, use the settings icon in the Actions column or the quick entries in Shortcuts.

Identify the shortcuts

The icons in the Shortcuts column are displayed in the following order. Hover the pointer over an icon to see its English tooltip.

Open a device Shell

1. In the Shortcuts of the target device, click the first terminal icon.
2. Wait for the page to read the device's SerialConsole.ConnectTypesSupported, and in Debug Mode select a debug method actually supported by the device.
3. When SSH is selected, select or enter a username in User.
4. In Login Method, select password or key authentication.
5. When using password authentication, fill in the port and password; the port range is 1–65535, with 22 used by default.
6. When using key authentication, provide the corresponding private key.
7. Click Confirm. The page opens the terminal in a new browser window and connects to the device.

The device in the figure returns only ADB, so the dialog shows only the debug method and the confirm button; only when a device returns SSH does the page display connection parameters such as user, login method, port, password, or private key.

The page also allows creating or deleting SSH user configurations for the device. Creating a user requires a username, password, port, and key-related parameters; this operation modifies the SSH user information stored on the target device.

View System Check

1. Confirm that the target device status is Online or Ready.
2. Click the third trend chart icon in Shortcuts.
3. In the System Check - <device> window that pops up, select the start time, end time, and sampling step.
4. View the following trend charts:
   • CPU usage
   • Memory usage
   • Temperature
   • Network upload speed
   • Network download speed
   • CPU frequency
   • Disk read speed
   • Disk write speed
5. Refresh the data after changing the time or sampling parameters; if the charts show empty data, check the time range, the monitoring service, and the device metric collection status.

System Check only reads monitoring data and does not modify device configuration or interrupt services.

Open device Info

1. Confirm that the target device status is Online or Ready.
2. Click the device info icon at the far right of Shortcuts.
3. The page enters the target device details; the top shows the device name, hardware configuration, network speed, and device status.
4. In the details area, view the manufacturer, SOC, operating system, temperature, memory and storage capacity, uptime, network address, and resource utilization.
5. Use the System Check tab to view the complete trend charts.
6. With network configuration permission, use the Net Config tab to view or configure the device network.
7. The details page also provides Debugger and Node Operation; their Shell and power operations work the same as on the General page.

Open the boot policy window

1. Click the settings icon in the Actions column of the target device.
2. In the menu, locate the device power-related configuration.
3. Select Boot Policy Setting to open the boot policy window.

Configure the boot policy

1. In Boot Policy, select the sub-board boot policy used when the aBMC service initializes or the power button is set to ON.
2. In Power-on Delay, set the number of seconds to wait before the power-on action is executed. The value is an integer no less than 0; setting 0 adds no delay.
3. After checking the target device and configuration, click Confirm.
4. To discard the changes, click Cancel.

Boot policy parameter description

Confirm the configuration result

1. Return to the General list and confirm that the target device's Boot Policy has been updated.
2. If a delay greater than 0 was configured, confirm that Delay: <seconds> is displayed below the policy.
3. Saving the configuration does not immediately restart or power off the device; the policy takes effect in subsequent aBMC initialization or power-button-ON flows, and the power-on delay also applies to subsequent power-on actions.

Select the bulk target devices

1. In the device list, select at least two devices that need to use the same boot policy.
2. Click the settings icon in the Actions column of any selected device.
3. Select Boot Policy Setting.

Deliver the bulk boot policy

1. In Boot Policy, select the policy to be used by all target devices.
2. In Power-on Delay, set a unified startup delay in seconds.
3. Re-check the selected devices and confirm they are suitable for the same configuration.
4. Click Confirm; the page delivers the boot policy to each selected device separately.
5. Return to the list and verify that Boot Policy and the delay have been updated for each device.

Open the power management menu

1. For a single-device operation, click the settings icon in the target device's Actions column, then expand Power.
2. For a bulk operation, first select at least two devices, then expand the bulk power management menu from the Actions menu of any selected device.
3. The page reads ResetActionInfo and displays only the actions currently returned by the target device; if no actions are available, the Power menu is unavailable.
4. After confirming the action meaning, target device, and business impact, select the power action. Once selected, the page sends the request immediately with no second confirmation dialog.

Power action description

The current bmc-core can return the following actions for array sub-boards. The actual menu displays only the values returned by the target device through ResetActionInfo.

Although PushPowerButton and Nmi exist in the Redfish schema definitions, the current ResetActionInfo does not return them and the backend action handling does not enable them, so they never appear in the page menu.

Perform a single-device power operation

1. Confirm the target device based on Device, Status, and the current business context.
2. Prefer GracefulShutdown or GracefulRestart so the operating system can stop services and flush data properly.
3. Use ForceOff, ForceRestart, or PowerCycle only when the operating system is unresponsive.
4. Execution starts immediately after clicking an action. Observe Status, Uptime, and the device's business state to confirm completion.
5. If an action fails, query the available actions again and check device communication, permissions, and hardware power control status; do not click repeatedly in succession.

Perform a bulk power operation

1. Select at least two devices that need to execute the same action.
2. Open Actions > Power of any selected device.
3. Confirm that all selected devices support the target ResetType in the menu.
4. After clicking the power action, the page sends requests in parallel to all selected nodes.
5. After the operation completes, check each device's status; a failed request for one device does not roll back the other devices that already succeeded.
