Accessing the System Console Through an
Alphanumeric Terminal
Use this procedure when you are accessing the SPARC Enterprise T2000 server
system console by connecting the serial port of an alphanumeric terminal to the
serial management port (SER MGT) of the SPARC Enterprise T2000 server.
▼
To Access the System Console Through an Alphanumeric
Terminal
1. Attach one end of the serial cable to the alphanumeric terminal’s serial port.
Use a null modem serial cable or an RJ-45 serial cable and null modem adapter.
Connect this cable to the terminal’s serial port connector.
2. Attach the opposite end of the serial cable to the serial management port on the
SPARC Enterprise T2000 server.
3. Connect the alphanumeric terminal’s power cord to an AC outlet.
4. Set the alphanumeric terminal to receive:
■
9600 baud
■
8 bits
■
No parity
■
1 stop bit
■
No handshake protocol
Refer to the documentation accompanying your terminal for information about how
to configure the terminal.
You can issue system commands and view system messages using the alphanumeric
terminal. Continue with your installation or diagnostic procedure, as needed. When
you are finished, type the alphanumeric terminal’s escape sequence.
For more information about connecting to and using the ALOM CMT system
controller, refer to the ALOM CMT guide for your server.
Accessing the System Console Through a Local
Graphics Monitor
After initial system installation, you can install a local graphics monitor and
configure it to access the system console. You
cannot
use a local graphics monitor to
perform initial system installation, nor can you use a local graphics monitor to view
power-on self-test (POST) messages.
