Connect Server Cables
3.
Connect a terminal or a terminal emulator (PC or workstation) to the server SER
MGT port.
A null modem configuration is needed, meaning the transmit and receive signals are reversed
(crossed over) for DTE to DTE communications. You can use an RJ-45 crossover adapter
with a standard RJ-45 cable to achieve the null modem configuration. See “SER MGT Port
Pinout” on page 53.
4.
Configure a terminal or terminal emulator with these settings:
■
9600 baud
■
8 bits
■
No parity
■
1 Stop bit
■
No handshake
5.
(Optional) Connect an Ethernet cable between the server's NET MGT port and
the network to which future connections to the SP and host will be made.
Configure the system for the first time through the SER MGT port. After the initial
configuration, you can set up communication between the SP and host through this Ethernet
interface.
6.
Connect an Ethernet cable between one of the server's NET ports and the
network to which the server will communicate.
7.
Connect the power cords to the power supplies and to separate power sources.
Note - Make a serial connection to the SP prior to plugging in the power cords. After making
this serial connection, you will be able to view the system messages when you connect the
power cords.
When the power cords are connected, the SP initializes and the power supply LEDs illuminate.
After a few minutes, the SP login prompt is displayed on the terminal device. At this time, the
host is not initialized or powered on.
8.
Continue with the installation by powering on the server for the first time.
See “Power on the Server for the First Time” on page 57.
