Connecting to a
Terminal or Modem
Troubleshooting the
EME
You need to connect a PC, terminal, or modem to the EME console port
to enter commands to configure and monitor your chassis and EME. You
can manage your system locally through a terminal connection or
remotely using a Telnet or modem connection.
To connect the EME to a terminal or modem, use either the RS-232
Console Port (RS-232) or the RS-232 Auxiliary Port (AUX) connectors that
are located on the EME front panel.
The EME uses male 9-pin connectors. For information about pin
connector assignments and the cable, see Chapter 2 of the
CoreBuilder 9000 Enterprise Management Engine User Guide.
Table 3 describes the access types and what each access type allows you
to do.

communicate with the CoreBuilder

If the EME character display shows
one of these error conditions exists:
The expansion card is incorrectly installed.
The on-board DRAM failed.
If one of these error conditions exists, remove and reinstall the expansion
memory card.
