Troubleshooting

Do the serial ports support synchronous protocols?

No.

Will the server need a null-modem cable to connect to the console port?

No. Because the Sun Fire V100 server requires the use of console port, Sun has
designed the server not to need a null-modem cable. All you need to connect a Sun
Fire V100 server to a termserver is a standard Category 5 cable.
