Using a Single DC Power Cord

If you are using a Netra 120 server and you have only one DC power cord connected
to the server, the LOM generates a power-on event, but it also generates an inlet
failure event and causes the fault indicator to be lit and to remain lit.

Similarly, if you remove a single DC power cord from a Netra 120 server that is
powered on, the LOM generates an inlet failure event and causes the fault indicator
to be lit and to remain lit.

If you intend to run the Netra 120 server using only one DC supply cord, then ignore
these inlet failure events and turn off the fault indicator by typing:

Setting Up Serial Connections

To perform the initial configuration when you install a Sun Fire V120 or Netra 120
server, and also for ongoing monitoring and management of the server, you will
need to use at least one of the serial ports on the server’s back panel. You can
connect either or both serial ports to any of the following devices:

Dumb terminal
For this connection, you can use the standard RJ-45 patch cable supplied with the
server, but you need to insert one end into the DB-25 adapter also supplied.

Sun workstation
For this connection, you can use the standard RJ-45 patch cable supplied with the
server, but you need to insert one end into the DB-25 adapter also supplied.

Terminal server (or patch panel connected to a terminal server)
The pinouts for the server’s serial ports correspond with the pinouts for the RJ-45
ports on the Cisco AS2511-RJ Terminal Server. For terminal servers from other
manufacturers, you may need to make your own roll-over cable (see Section 6.3.1,
“Connecting to a Terminal Server” on page 6-5).

Modem
For this connection, you can use the standard RJ-45 patch cable supplied with the
server, but you need to insert one end into the DB-25 adapter also supplied.
