Verifying HBA Device Driver Information

Review the HBA device driver Readme.txt file for configuration specifics. An
HBA may require a different configuration. HBAs typically come with utility
programs to view or change their configurations.

Verifying Serial Port Configuration

Verify the configuration of the terminal or terminal emulation program.

If problems persist, verify the cabling.

If a valid Ethernet IP address is configured, serial configuration settings can also
be set via Telnet.
