For an Ethernet connection, attach an Ethernet cable to one of the Ethernet interfaces,
eth0, eth1, or if available, eth2, eth3, eth4 or eth5 on the back panel. See Figure 22 on
page 59 for Ethernet interface locations.
-
For a serial console, attach an RS232 null modem cable to the DB9 port (labeled “Console
Port”) on the back panel. See Figure 21. Use the console communication settings of: 9600
baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit.
-
For a monitor and keyboard, attach the monitor to the port labeled VGA and the keyboard
to the port nearest the keyboard icon. See Figure 21 for locations.
4.
For backup and restore communications to and from the system, attach at least one Ethernet
cable to an Ethernet interface or a Fibre Channel cable to a VTL HBA port on the back panel.
See “System Card Interface” on page 52 for interface locations.
