How to Attach an Alphanumeric (ASCII)
Terminal
Before You Begin
If your server is configured without a local graphics console, you need to attach an
alphanumeric (ASCII) terminal (or establish a
tip
connection) to the server in order
to install the system software and to run diagnostic tests. For background
information, see “About Communicating With the Server” on page 28.
Alternatively, you can install a local graphics console on the server; see “How to
Configure a Local Graphics Console” on page 31.
For information about establishing a
tip
connection, see “Setting Up a
tip
Connection” on page 121 or see the OpenBoot 3.x Command Reference Manual, an
online version of which is included with the Solaris System Administrator
AnswerBook2 that ships with Solaris software.
