Cabling the server with an ASCII terminal:
If you are not creating logical partitions, you can use an ASCII terminal to manage a server that is
running the AIX, Linux, or VIOS operating systems. From the ASCII terminal, you can access the
Advanced System Management Interface (ASMI) to complete more installation tasks.
The ASCII terminal is connected to the server through a serial link. The ASCII interface to the ASMI
provides a subset of the web interface functions. The ASCII terminal for the ASMI interface is available
only when the system is in the standby state. It is not available during the initial program load (IPL) or
run time.
Note: If you are using a serial connection to the ASMI terminal, you must use a conversion cable. This
cable (part number 46K5108) is used to convert the ASCII terminal 9-pin Dshell connector to an RJ45
serial port connector on the system. For information about the locations of the connectors on the system,
see Part locations and location codes (http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/POWER8/p8ecs/
p8ecs_locations.htm).
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 the serial port
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.

19,200 Uses the 19,200 (bits per second) line
speed to communicate with the system
unit.
8 Selects 8 bits as a data word length
(byte).
No Does not add a parity bit and is used
together with the word length attribute
to form the 8–bit data word (byte).
1 Places a bit after a data word (byte).
