Chapter 2 Setting Up the System 31
How to Attach an Alphanumeric
Terminal
Before You Begin
If your server is configured without a local graphics console, you need to attach an
alphanumeric (ASCII) terminal to the server in order to install the Solaris Operating
System and to run diagnostic tests. Alternatively, you can install a local graphics
console, create a tip connection from another Sun system, or set up an RSC console.
For more information, see “About Setting Up a Console” on page 30.
Note – You cannot use an RSC console to perform the initial installation of the
Solaris OS. The Solaris OS must be installed prior to setting up an RSC console.
What to Do
1. Connect a DB-25 null modem serial cable or a DB-25 serial cable and null modem
adapter to the terminal’s serial port.
2. Connect the opposite end of the cable to the system’s serial port connector or to
serial port A on the serial splitter cable.
