▼ 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 T5140 or T5240 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 now 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 ILOM service processor,
refer to the ILOM guide and the ILOM supplement for your server.
Accessing the System Console Through a Local
Graphics Monitor
Though it is not recommended, the system console can be redirected to the graphics
frame buffer. 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.
To install a local graphics monitor, you must have the following items:
■ Supported PCI-based graphics accelerator card and software driver
■ Monitor with appropriate resolution to support the frame buffer
■ Supported USB keyboard
