Prepare to Power On the Server
Prepare to Power On the Server
1. Choose the preferred way to set up your server network environment.
The instructions in this guide work for any networking environment and require a terminal
device for connecting ther server to the Oracle ILOM SP and to power on the server. You
can establish a physical management connection to Oracle ILOM SP locally using the serial
management port (SER MGT) or remotely using the Ethernet network management port (NET
MGT). To establish a remote connection, see “Log In to Oracle ILOM Using a Remote Ethernet
Connection” on page 86 .
2. Obtain a terminal device to communicate with the SP, which can be a terminal, a
terminal server, or a laptop running terminal emulation software.
3. Set up the terminal device to use 9600 baud, 8 bit, no parity, and 1 stop bit.
For DTE-to-DTE communication, use an RJ-45 crossover adapter with a standard RJ-45 cable
to set up a null modem configuration so that transmit and receive signals are crossed over.
Logging In to Oracle ILOM and Powering On the Server
You can log in to Oracle ILOM and then power on the server using the management connection
you established for connecting the Oracle ILOM SP.
Log In to Oracle ILOM and Power On the Server
The following procedure explains how to cable the server for the first time to connect to the
Oracle ILOM SP through the serial management (SER MGT) port.
1. Connect a serial cable between the SER MGT port on the server and the terminal
device.
This connection enables the initial command-line interface (CLI) communication with the
Oracle ILOM SP.
2. Use the power cords to connect the power supplies to two separate AC power
sources.
The server is equipped with two power supplies. The server can operate with one power source;
however, using only one power source eliminates redundancy.
After you connect the power cords to the server AC inlets and power sources, the following
actions occur:
