Tip Connection Between a SPARC Enterprise T5140 or T5240 Server and
Another System

To Access the System Console Through the Tip Connection

1. Connect the RJ-45 serial cable and, if required, the DB9 or DB25 adapter

provided.

The cable and adapter connect between another system’s serial port (typically
ttyb

) and the serial management port on the back panel of the SPARC

Enterprise T5140 or T5240 server.

2. Ensure that the /etc/remote file on the other system contains an entry for

hardwire

.

Most releases of Solaris OS software shipped since 1992 contain an /etc/remote
file with the appropriate hardwire entry. However, if the system is running an
older version of Solaris OS software, or if the /etc/remote file has been
modified, you might need to edit it. See

“Modifying the /etc/remote File” on

page 16

for details.
