A server (''si'') that wants to enter a server system broadcasts an inquiry message to other servers to inform them of its entry, si requests a current value of the register. Once other server receive this inquiry they send reply messages to si. After si receives enough replies from other servers, it collects the replies and saves them into a reply set. Si waits until it gets enough replies (n-f-j) from other servers then it picks the most frequently received value. Si also:

* Updates its local copy of the register
* Becomes active
* Replies to the processes in the reply set 
* If it becomes active it sends reply messages to the other servers. Otherwise, it stores the inquiries, replying when it becomes active.
* When it gets replies from other servers it adds the new reply to the reply set and discards the old value.
* If the value of the responding server is bigger than si's value, si retains the new value.
