Setting Up the CE Tool (PC)
The CE Tool is usually a laptop. It allows communication with the management processor (MP) in the server.
The MP monitors the activity of either a one-partition or a multiple-partition configuration.
During installation, communicating with the MP enables such tasks as:
•
Verifying that the components are present and installed correctly
•
Setting LAN IP addresses
•
Shutting down cell board power
Communication with the MP is established by connecting the CE Tool to the local RS-232 port on the core I/O
card.
Setting CE Tool Parameters
After powering on the CE Tool, ensure the communications settings are as follows:
•
8/none (parity)
•
9600 baud
•
None (Receive)
•
None (Transmit)
