Once power is applied to the chassis, what is the next sequence after MM completes booting?

The correct answer is C. Load the LCD panel. After the Management Module (MM) completes its boot sequence, it initializes and loads the LCD panel (C) so the chassis can begin displaying status information to administrators - this is the next logical step in handing off from internal boot to user-facing output.

Explanation

After the Management Module (MM) completes its boot sequence, it initializes and loads the LCD panel (C) so the chassis can begin displaying status information to administrators - this is the next logical step in handing off from internal boot to user-facing output.

Why the distractors are wrong:

  • A (12V DC Rail on) - This occurs very early in the power-up sequence, before the MM ever starts; it's a hardware prerequisite, not a post-boot step.
  • B (PSU firmware starts) - PSU firmware activates when power is first applied to the chassis, well before the MM reaches its boot completion stage.
  • D (MM uboot starts) - MM uboot is the MM's bootloader, meaning it fires at the beginning of the MM boot process, not after it finishes.

Memory tip: Think of the sequence as "hardware first, then firmware, then software, then display." The LCD panel is the first user-visible output, so it logically follows once the MM (the brain of the chassis) is fully operational and ready to communicate status.
