Attaching a Serial Console to the Server Module
To communicate directly with the Sun Blade T6340 server module, you can connect a
serial console to the universal connector port (UCP) on the front panel of the server
module by using a dongle cable. See
“Connecting to the Server Module SP Using a
Dongle Cable” on page 19
for more information.
Caution –
Dongle cables are intended for setup, testing, or service purposes and
should be removed when not in use. They have not been evaluated for
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) compliance and are not to be used during
normal system operation.
You can order an optional dongle cable with the server module, or you can use the
dongle cable that shipped with the modular system chassis.
TABLE 1-4
lists the ports
to be used for serial connections to the server module using UCP-3 or UCP-4 dongle
cables.
FIGURE 1-2
shows possible connections on the dongle cable.

To Insert the Dongle Cable
You should use the UCP-3 (three connector) dongle cable whenever possible.
●
Insert the connector straight into the UCP on the server module (
FIGURE 1-2
).
