Power on the Server for the First Time
■ No handshake
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, in which the transmit and
receive signals cross over. See “RJ-45 Crossover Pinouts” on page 44.
Note - If you power on the server for the first time and do not have a terminal or terminal
emulator (PC or workstation) connected to the SP SER MGT port, you will not see system
messages.
4.
(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.
5.
Connect an Ethernet cable between one of the server's NET ports and the
network to which the server will communicate.
6.
Connect the power cords to the power supplies and to separate power sources.
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.
7.
Continue with the installation by powering on the server for the first time.
See “Installing the OS” on page 58.
