Powering On the Server for the First
Time
Tip – The serial terminal or a terminal emulator should be connected before you
connect the power cables, or you will not see the system messages. The server goes
into Standby mode and the ALOM system controller initializes as soon as the input
power cables are connected to the power source.
Note – If you are not logged in, ALOM times out after 60 seconds and reverts to the
system console. For more information, refer to the ALOM CMT 1.2 Guide.
The system controller runs on the 3.3v standby voltage. As soon as power is
connected to the server, the system controller powers on, runs diagnostics, and
initializes the ALOM firmware.
