Accessing the Management Processor
You can connect to the management processor using the following methods:
• The local RS-232C port using a local terminal.
• The remote RS-232C port using external modem (dial-up) access, if remote modem access is configured.
• The management processor LAN port using Web Console or telnet if login access through the
management processor LAN is enabled.
The M cable (part number A6144-63001) must be connected to the DB25 connector located on
NOTE
the MP/SCSI board to allow a local terminal connection. The MP/SCSI board is located in PCI
Slot 1.
If a local terminal is not available, the management processor may be configured using a
network connection. Details for configuring the management processor via a network are found
in the section titled Network Access to the management processor.
Local Terminal Access to the Management Processor Communication with the management processor
is established by connecting a terminal to the Local RS-232 port on the MP/SCSI Core I/O board.
A terminal session may be established using a standalone terminal, or using terminal emulation software
such as Reflection 1 running on a PC.
During installation, communicating with the management processor enables such tasks as:
• Verifying that the components are present and installed correctly
• Setting the LAN IP addresses
Setting Terminal Parameters After powering on the Terminal, ensure the communications settings are as follows:
•
8/none (parity)
•
9600 baud
•
None (Receive)
•
None (Transmit)
If the terminal is a PC using Reflection 1, check or change these communications settings using the following procedure:
1.
From the Reflection 1 Main screen, pull down the Connection menu and select Connection Setup.
2.
Select Serial Port.
3.
