After the system console finishes its low-level system diagnostics, the Active SP
initializes and runs a suite of higher level diagnostics. When you access the SP using
a terminal device connected to the Active SP SER MGT port, you see the diagnostic
and startup messages.
For a detailed discussion on configuring the system console, refer to the Server
Administration , and the Oracle ILOM documentation.

Connect Terminals or Emulators to the
SP SER MGT Ports
Prior to powering on the server for the first time, make a serial connections to the
two SPs. By making these serial connections, you will be able to view the system
status and error messages when you switch on the power grid circuit breakers.
Note – If you power on the server without first connecting terminals to the SER
MGT port, you will not see the system power-on messages.
1. Confirm that you have connected cables to the SER MGT ports on the two SPs
located in the front of the server.
