Connect a Terminal or Emulator to the SER MGT Port
b.
Completed the installation of the server in a rack.
See “Installing the Server” on page 29 .
c.
Connected the necessary cables.
See “Connecting Cables” on page 51
2.
Connect a terminal or a terminal emulator (PC or workstation) to the server SER
MGT port.
3.
Configure a terminal or terminal emulator with these settings:
■
9600 baud
■
8 bits
■
No parity
■
1 Stop bit
■
No handshake
A null modem configuration is needed, meaning the transmit and receive signals are reversed
(crossed over) for DTE to DTE communications. You can use the supplied RJ-45 crossover
adapters with a standard RJ-45 cable to achieve the null modem configuration.
Note -
If you power on the server for the first time and do not have a terminal or terminal
emulator (PC or workstation) connected to the SER MGT port, you will not see system
messages.
4. (Optional) Connect an Ethernet cable between the server's NET MGT port and
the network to which future connections to the SP and host will be made.
Configure the system for the first time through the SER MGT port. After the initial
configuration, you can set up communication between the SP and host through this Ethernet
interface.
5. Connect an Ethernet cable between one of the server's NET ports and the
network to which the server will communicate.
6. Connect the power cords to the power supplies and to separate power sources.
When the power cords are connected, the SP initializes and the power supply LEDs illuminate.
After a few minutes, the SP login prompt is displayed on the terminal device. At this time, the
host is not initialized or powered on.
7. Continue with the installation by powering on the server for the first time.
See “Power on the Server for the First Time” on page 69 .
