Chapter 2: Connecting the Cables
• If you are using a Macintosh computer as the serial console, go to the section
“Connecting a Macintosh Computer as the Serial Console” on page 9.
• If you are using a workstation from a vendor other than Silicon Graphics as the
serial console, go to “Connecting Other Types of Workstations as the Serial
Console” on page 9.
Connecting an IBM Compatible Personal Computer As the Serial Console
Follow these steps to connect an IBM compatible personal computer (PC) to your server
as the serial console:
1. Locate the appropriate serial cable. Some servers ship with the serial cable to
connect to the PC-compatible computer. Otherwise contact your Silicon Graphics
sales representative, or locate a serial cable with the correct connectors for the
server’s serial port 1 and the PC’s COM1 or COM2 port.
2. Attach the PC’s COM1 or COM2 port to port
1
of the Silicon Graphics server.
■
You can use either COM1 or COM2 on your personal computer.
■
Make a note of which COM port you use. You will need this information later
when you configure the terminal emulator on the personal computer in
Chapter 3, “Setting Up the Terminal Emulator and Starting WebFORCE Internet
Gateway.”
You are now ready to configure your personal computer as a serial console for the server.
Turn to Chapter 3, “Setting Up the Terminal Emulator and Starting WebFORCE Internet
Gateway.”
