<h1 class="topictitle1">Work with the control panel</h1>
<div><p>The control panel is the initial interface on your iSeries™ server.
With the system control panel, you can determine processor activity, read
error codes to help determine component failure analysis, power the system
on and off, as well as change initial program load (IPL) characteristics.
You can use the physical control panel on the system or set up a remote control
panel to perform these operations.</p>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> The information in this topic pertains only to IBM<sup>®</sup> model 270 and 8xx model servers. If
you have a different model server, see the <span class="keyword">IBM Systems Hardware Information Center</span> for
more information.</div>
<p>From the control panel, you can process system functions such as the following
actions:</p>
<ul><li>Determine processor activity</li>
<li>Display and get attributes or error codes to analyze problems</li>
<li>Turn on or off the system</li>
<li>Set IPL characteristics</li>
</ul>
<p>You can use the physical control panel on the system or set up a remote
control panel to perform these operations. It might helpful to you if you
set up the virtual control panel or the remote control panel. You can access
control panel functions and use APIs to operate your remote control panel
with a user-written program.</p>
