Oracle SPARC T7-4, Installation Manual

Page: 66 / 90

Connect a Terminal or Emulator to the SER MGT Port
Caution -
Do not attach power cables to the power supplies until you have connected the server
to a serial terminal or a terminal emulator (PC or workstation). The server goes into Standby
mode and the Oracle ILOM SP initializes as soon as a power cable connects a power supply
to an external power source. System messages might be lost after 60 seconds if a terminal or
terminal emulator is not connected to the SER MGT port before power is applied.
Note -
Oracle ILOM will signal a fault if all four power supplies are not cabled at the same
time, since it will be a nonredundant condition. Do not be concerned with this fault in this
situation.
Route the power cords from the AC power source to the rear of the server.
Do not attach the power cords to the power supplies at this time.
