Method 2: Connect to the Service Processor Using
a Serial Connection
To establish a connection to the SP using a serial connection (system management
port), perform the following steps:
1. Connect a terminal (or PC running terminal emulation software) to the server
serial port.
2. Ensure that the server hardware is installed and cables are inserted.
Ensure that the power is in standby mode and the green LED blinks. See
“Connecting the Cables” on page 28.
3. Verify that your terminal, laptop, PC, or terminal server is operational.
4. Configure the terminal device or the terminal emulation software running on a
laptop or PC to the following settings:
■ 8,N,1: eight data bits, no parity, one stop bit
■ 9600 baud
■ Disable hardware flow control (CTS/RTS)
■ Disable software flow control (XON/XOFF)
5. Connect a null serial modem cable from the RJ45 serial port on the server back
panel to a terminal device (if not connected already).
See
FIGURE 1-4 for the position of the serial port on the back panel.
6. Press Enter on the terminal device to establish a connection between the
terminal device and the LOM service processor (SP).
