If you have previously connected the server to an HMC, you must use the HMC to switch the server
firmware from being managed by the HMC to being a stand-alone server. This switch enables the native
serial ports on the server, and allows you to use the serial ports to connect to the ASCII terminal. Follow
these steps to perform this task:
1. Power off the server using the HMC.
a. Select Systems Management > Servers.
b. Select the server. Ensure that you are selecting the server and not the partition.
c. Select Operations > Power Off.
2. Access ASM to reset the server to its factory default settings.
a. Select Operations > Launch Advanced System Management.
b. Login using the User ID admin.
Note: The default password for the admin User ID is admin.
c. Expand System Service Aids and select Factory Configuration.
d. Select Reset all settings and then select Continue.
3. In the HMC navigation area, select Connections > Reset or Remove Connections > Remove
Connection.
4. Click OK.
To cable an ASCII terminal to the server, complete the following steps:
1. Using a serial cable that is equipped with a null modem, connect the ASCII terminal to system
connector 1 (P2-C8-T7) on the rear of the server.
2. Ensure that your ASCII terminal is set to the following general attributes.
These attributes are the default settings for the diagnostic programs. Be sure that your terminal is set
according to these attributes before proceeding to the next step.

3. Connect the power cord from the server to a power source.
4. Wait for the green light on the control panel to start flashing.
5. Press a key on the ASCII terminal to allow the service processor to confirm the presence of the ASCII
terminal.
6. When the login display appears for the ASMI, enter admin for the user ID and password.
7. Change the default password when you are prompted.
You have completed the setup for an ASCII terminal, and have started the ASMI.
8. Continue with "Completing the server without using a management console" on page 29.
